I am writing this blog as a response to Christopher Negron’s comment on my previous post on "A new season of the Spirit."
As long as I remember I have been dreaming about something more, something greater than what I have been experiencing at that particular time. When I was a boy I was dreaming of becoming a doctor. At that time I was ill. I was in and out of hospitals for more than ten years. The doctors were my great heroes. They alleviated pain and made people well. They made life better and easier to cope with for people. They walked about in the hospital in white robes and looked very important. They were busy because everyone wanted to talk with them and have them to examine their case of sickness. To be a doctor had to be the greatest thing a person could become I thought, and dreamed of one day to be able to help people to get healed.
I never became a doctor. But my dream of being able to help people to a better life has to a large extent been fulfilled. I never had any medical education, but the dream of seeing people being healed has been fulfilled many times when I have laid my hands on sick people in the name of Jesus Christ.
Many of my dreams have come true in different ways than what I expected. But I have also felt like a failure many times. Often I have felt like giving up. Sometimes I have been despairing. I have seen no solution to the problems I have been facing. But God is good and faithful. He has not given up on me. When everything seems hopeless God has always turned up in one way or another. He always brings hope into my life. He is showing me his bright future for me. Over and over he is telling me: “Never let go of your dream! Rather be filled with the Spirit for he is the guarantee that, I the Almighty God, will give you everything I promised.
We who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive everything promised to us who are right with God through faith. Gal. 5:5 NLT
I plan to share more on this topic in days to come. The next few days I might not be connected but as soon as possible I will share more on not letting go of the dreams given you by God. God has given me new and fresh hope these days and I like all my friends to have the same experience of faith in God by the Holy Spirit.
