YOU GUYS LET ME JUST BRAG ABOUT HOW TOTALLY AWESOME AND INDESCRIBABLE GOD IS
In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people; your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Acts 2:17
Before this post I had no clue, I was going to writing/typing this blog post but let me tell you of how extremely great God is. I had come home and for those of you who know me, I take naps all the time, so I took a nap. In my dream I was in my friend’s car, and we were heading to do an event with my show choir group, and she was telling me of how she went to this before and got lost!! I was asking her questions of why and how she got back home etc. and then we arrived at a restaurant to eat. We had finishing eating and I was like well, I kind of have to use the bathroom so I went and as soon as I get out, my entire group was gone. I called to meet them there, and ironically got lost at the same place my friend did. I called a bus to get back home because the event was already over, and for some odd reason I know had a super power and I was training for it?? Dreams can be really weird sometimes, but I’m thankful for them. Anyways, so I train and come back home and when I get into my room which is in real life my sisters (I have no clue why) I feel off. You know when sometimes you just get a feeling like “Ooh, I REALLY don’t like this.” Well folks, that’s a gift of the Holy Spirit, called ‘The Spirit of Discernment’ and to be quite honest with you, I feel like we all have it. Well, at first, I was rebuking the devil and telling to back the hee haw up because I am God’s child and he will not scare me, but I felt like I needed to do more. I come outside my room and ask my parents to come pray over my room and they tell me of how they want to close the door and pray, but I knew we needed to pray inside my room. Then, my parents started talking about the “hosts” who have died in the house, which was high key scary not going to lie, but anyways we were trying to find a spot to pray but decided on the ceiling because it covered everything. When we started to pray, I closed my eyes and felt myself transition and I immediately woke up.
The verse in Acts that the youth will prophesy and the old will dream dreams, and although I am not old yet, God still moved through me. I could not help but sharing the good news with my mom!! Spiritual dreams are exceedingly the ones I have most, but I am so so beyond thankful for them. In real life, I rebuke satan all the time, he has no power and quite frankly, I am tired of him trying to come at me with all his boo-boo jankness and scare me, like I’m not sure who you think my God is??? But, the phrase “I can do it in my sleep” is such an easy thing, and God continuously showing up for me EVEN WHEN I’M DREAMING, is beyond anything. I mentioned Easter to my mom and how Jesus literally WALKED THROUGH THE GATES OF HEAVEN AND TOOK THE KEYS OF DEATH FROM SATAN’S HAND AND WALKED RIGHT BACK OUT. WE CAN DEFEAT SATAN IN OUR DREAMS BECAUSE HE HAS PROCLAIMED THE VICTORY AND HE HAS BEATEN DEATH. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (This was my mom’s senior quote by the way) But anyways, he can take joy in Him, we can be glad and have peace in Him, and REBUKE SATAN IN OUR SLEEP BECAUSE HE HAS ALREADY WON THE BATTLE AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR HIM TO WIN THE WAR (which honestly, without a doubt, He is always winning.) But He is so generous to us, and my mom was telling me how she had been thinking about the relevance of Jesus dying on the cross and how when He was in the garden asked God to allow for Him to not go through this, BUT “Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.” That period!!! That period is what separates His wants from God’s will. He asks God for that cup to pass from Him, not of His will, but of God’s will. How wonderful and mighty our Abba is!! We continued to talk about His protection and how even though, for example, I am not always in the best spiritual place and could definitely have a better relationship with God, He continues to protect me from so many things, He has blessed me abundantly!!! And then my mom brought up His grace and that’s why. She has seen Him, and His grace move so many times in her life!! Tell me tell you folks, God loves to foreshadow things in your life. Today as I’m walking into my class, I see this quote, “Love is not a feeling, but an action,” and I thought what better way to describe Easter and the love of Christ! God didn’t just say “Hey guys! I love y’all! Xoxo God.” (Gossip girl mention??) Anyways, HE SHOWED US HIS LOVE IN ACTION, LIVE LOVE. And still continues to show us this wonderful, awesome, literally the best love ever, no doubt about it love. Through all of this, He reminded of an incredible Bible verse, “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” God took His precious little One, His ONLY One and put sin onto Him, so we could know Him. God didn’t need us and still doesn’t, but He cared for us and loved us. We are talking about veils in AP Lit (which is SUCH an awesome class!!), but kind of ironic God preps this moment and speaks through us for His glory, but anyways God looked at us through that veil, He tore it down to see us and so that we could see Him. How wonderful and awesome and glorious He is to His children! I have been telling God, He deserves it all and nothing less and that everything I do be for Him, but I felt like I was making empty promises, but He LITERALLY DESERVES NOTHING LESS. I will no longer allow fear to creep in and talk me out of something God orchestrated, if He tells me to go to Colombia (which I have been praying about and I ask for prayer for guidance in that direction, and thank you so much,) but to go there and preach the gospel for Him to start a revival, NOTHING is stopping me!! He is in me; He has already proclaimed the victory!! What’s to fear? So, my incredible brothers and sisters in Christ, I encourage you to stand up to satan and fear!! You can look them straight in the eye, God is with you, right beside you, He’s always got you no matter what. And, if you’re feeling like God isn’t helping, He lets us fight the battles with Him to mold us into what He will need us to be in the future. Trust Him in the middle of the starting point to the triumph, trust Him. It reminds me of a hike: It will be a journey and it will not always be easy, but the view at the end outweighs all of the adversity. I love you all so very much and I’m very thankful for all of you who are walking this incredible journey with me!! Peace and love be to you all!! <3 <3 <3
