Never let go of your dream!

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.

    Thank you Erling. I am very encouraged in my heart, and now after reading your response I am discerning how to focus our prayers as a couple. My wife and I have discussed with each other that this is the time to let go of yesterday, and thrust ourselves forward into what God is doing and saying now. I recently heard a new song called ‘the world.’ One lyric resounds very clear to me. It simply says: ‘History begins now’. I confess that there have been times, recntly, that I continue to see a picture in my mind. In this picture I see myself standing on a feild that seems to have had the grass turned over, as if the feild is going through a massive transformation. Then I notice chunks of concrete pertruding from the ground. It appears that these stones were deep and unseen. Yet I feel like they were parts of a foundation that has been cracked up, for what reason, I do not know. But I beleive that I am seeing something significant. Please write more post concerning holding on to dreams, becuase I beleive that mine still breath. -Chris Negron

    Thank You Chris for what youn are sharing. I have posted some new meditations on the subject of dream today. I will continue to share my dreams in days ahead. May God bring all his dreams for you and your wife into fulfilment as you let go of the past and let the dream take you into God’s glorious future for you!
