Celebrating what God has given you

As a dreamer and visionary I long to see the future come true. I spend many times of the day thinking about peoples dreams and how they would look 10 to 15 years from now. But because that is a natural drive in me, I tend to be impatient and not see what I already have in front of me. I thank God that he has united me with wife that can understand that process. But the Lord is having me learn to celebrate on what he has given me, so I can be setup for something greater.

Everywhere I look, I am finding God talking to me to celebrate what he has given me. Every morning I take my oldest Daughter Abigail to the bus stop. Its a small walk, but she really looks forward to it. The other night while walking I began to notice that she was seeing the starts and sky because its very early in the morning. I felt the Lord spoke said as you celebrate what you have, the heavens will open and you can reach for stars. Well you can say that rocked me!

Another time was in my AMT class, where my instructor was showing us on how to see in the spirit. Now explained that you don't have to have open visions like he does just be ok on how you see. Whether its an open vision or a close vision. I took that to heart and began to steward on how I see in the spirit.

Another way was to celebrate my instructors anointing. Celebrate what they carry because they are imparting to me. I did not compare myself to them, but instead receive what they had and applied it to my life. What I notice was a greater increase of the anointing.

This reminds me of the parable of the Talents. Cities were given to the guys who invested on what they had. It was taken away from the person who saved it. WOW thats amazing. It says he wants to give cities to people. He wants to bless you; but, can you invest the things you already have. Can you celebrate with the things you have.

Now there is tension there. We want to pursue more of God and the impossible but we need to celebrate the things we already have. I believe that tension is what propels you to your destiny.

The Lion came out!

In September I posted that there was a Lion in me that wanted to come out! Well on Monday night this week the Lord showed up in a way I have never seen before. The night started off by Scott and Lacey Thompson sharing their experience from a crazy, radical trip in Australia. They also took Tom and Jason to help minister and what they brought back was nothing but power!!!

Now prior to this meeting, I was watching IBethel.tv Sunday services. All I can say is that something hit that place and heaven opened with a flood of water. Sunday at Bethel Atlanta Scott talks about the drought that was over at Australia. Then before going to Monday night school I was soaking with a Graham Cook cd. At this point my heart was already a mess.

After Scott spoke at the class we all went after the Lord like there was no tomorrow. The atmosphere was so thick I could not control myself. Then Tom spoke and releaseda roar to the class. As he was speaking I started to growl like a Lion. I have never done that in my entire life. When Tom roared, I started to roar like a Lion that came out of my chest. I totally lost my sense of being. I was not aware of my surroundings. People were prophesying to me, and others were being electrocuted when they touched me.

I don't really remember what happened that night, except for a few powerful words that were spoken over my life. One thing I do remember was seeing a Lion in front of me and as the Lion roared, a river of water was coming out of his mouth.

The next day Cody gives me Romans 8:26. It was what I need to hear on what God was doing with me.

That night I knew I could not go back to the same person I was a week ago. More, and more of my identity is coming out. Just today I noticed that the Lord told Joshua to be bold and courageous. That kinda sounds like a Lion to me. Some of you may not know but middle name is Josue which is Joshua in Spanish. That's the name God uses to address me.

This week has been a whirlwind, but what a ride. I'm loving every minute of it!

Your dreams are about to come true.

Today I had the privilege of talking to 2 old friends of mine from central Florida. They have both started churches a couple of years ago. Today they are making such an impact in their communities and region. When I look back at what they have started, it looked very challenging but I knew they carried a faith and the word of the Lord in their life.

Sometimes we look at the outcomes of an action and quickly come to a conclusion that it was not the will for the Lord. But I believe we when we steward Gods promises, we are nurturing it so it can blossom to its full potential.

Abraham was told he was going to have son at a age that looked impossible. But when God told him to look into the stars he took his promise and put a stake in his heart. Something happens when you put faith in his words.

I feel that we are in a season where Gods promises will come to pass. You are about to enter the promise land that he showed you.

His light shines like a river of love

Today a coworker just gave his 2 weeks notice. While we were talking he told me that he respected me very much. I asked him why. He explain that our lifestyle were very different but that felt love from me. He went on to say that I inspired him to reach for higher goals. I was very honored and blessed when hearing this.

I asked the Lord what did I do? I felt that he said "you have a light and is flowing like a river of love." There are times where you don't need to say anything. People will see the light you carry because it naturally shine. The longer I spend time with him, The more he fills me up with his love.

Now I love to talk about how good of a god is, but it always has to lead to an encounter with the Lord. The first commandment from the Lord is to Love him . Then to love others.

So with that in mind, I have found more encounters with people when I spend time with the Lord. If I try to witness or share gods love without having a daily encounter with him, people will just see theology and not life.
