Pursuing Your Dreams

I've been speaking the past few weeks about pursuing our dreams and making 2012 our year! As we have discussed, we must be flexible, tweaking ourselves continually to the will of God. At the same time, we must be steadfast in reaching our goals. When setbacks come, we must remain resolute.

To make our dreams happen - we can't sit idly by and just hope things will fall into place - we must take action! An action on our part precedes a response from Heaven. Sometimes we think God should just move but He is waiting on us to come before Him. In our weakness - He is made strong.

Psalms 37:4 says, "Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart." The word "desire" here is translated as " specific petition." We petition God through the prayer of supplication - it's like a prayer with a subject line. Ephesians 6:18 says, "....praying always with all prayer and supplication, in the Spirit." So we should live in a constant state of prayer. There are times when we should pray in our own understanding and times when we should pray in the Spirit. Romans 8:26 says when we do not know what we should pray, the Spirit makes intercession for us. What a blessing!

I encourage you to be specific in your prayers and be pliable to God, staying in an active relationship with Him as he moves us to a new level this year!

Celebrating life!
