When you're given a dream. At first it feels so real. So vivid. There's not a doubt in your mind that it can't happen. But after a while that dream starts to fade a little. And as time progresses so does the perfect image of the dream until you get to a point where it almost seems unreal. Why does this happen? Because of those mind-binding spirits from the enemy! They seep in slowly saying things like,"Well that looks cool but you'll never be able to do it", or later on, "If you haven't done it by now you'll never do it". They bring upon thoughts that build and build and build until that dream almost slips away and the doubt has washed away any hope you had of accomplishing that dream. I know because I am personally experiencing this right now. God gave me such a great vision for my life but as time goes on I get distracted by life and the lies of the enemy and I feel like everything he spoke to me was a myth. Something I made up. THAT IS NOT TRUE!!
When God gives you a dream or a vision you do everything in your power to keep that vision alive. A good suggestion, (this just popped in my head), would be to write it down and put it somewhere where you'll see it everyday. And instead of just having that vision include with it scriptures that remind you that the vision is accomplish able. Thoughts of hope for when the enemy tries to persuade you otherwise. The enemy is good at working to kill those dreams but God is stronger and through him so are you. He gave you those dreams and visions for a reason and the enemy will not have the best of you! God will see those dreams and visions come to pass because he is not a man that he should lie. If there's any person in this life you can trust it's God. When God gives you a promise you better believe that he will see you through. Here are some good scriptures to encourage you:
"Numbers 23:19,
God is not a man, so he does not lie.
He is not human, so he does not change his mind.
Has he ever spoken and failed to act?
Has he ever promised and not carried it through?"
-New living translation
"Isaiah 55:11,
So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth:
It shall not return to me void [without producing any effect, useless],
But it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."
-Amplified Bible
"Acts 2:17,
'In the last days', God says.
'I will pour out my spirit upon all people,
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams'."
-New Living Translation
"1 John 5:14-15,
This is the confidence we have in approaching God:
That if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
And if we know that he hears us- whatever we ask- we know
That we have what we asked of him."
-Today's New International Version
