Keep Your Dream and Vision Alive

"Keep Your Dream and Vision Alive"

Today, was a great worship experience at the Bethel Church. As we move into Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and Ressurection Sunday, the LORD birth a new message series called "HISTORY...The KING has one more move!" God is doing something special in the body of beievers in Bethel. Over the last 2-3 years we have endured so much some self infected and some by outside influence BUT we learned to "KEEP Believing, Doing, Acting and Knowing!" In this blog post I celebration and I dedicated it to all the folks who are trying to keep their dreams alive.

This is for everyone who has ever:

*Had your hopes, dreams or visions attacked.

*Had to deal with haters and fake friends

*felt like your dreams were fading to black and white. Don't let your dreams lose their color.

Keep your dream alive because that's what we have to do sometimes. I could sit thinking about a million things that are wrong, but instead I choose to think on what is right. So "as a man thinketh so is he". In order to see any kind of good success you've got to think positively so that positive things can start to happen in your life. This I know for a fact--IT WORKS! Your thoughts are so powerful. You've got to rise above negativity. Not all of it, but most of it. I say that because even the smallest battery has a positive and negative charge and they both are needed in order for it to work. If you get criticism that is vitriolic and full of venom, don't let that in. Venom kills the spirit. If you get criticism that is constructive and full of love, take it under consideration and learn. It takes a little wisdom to be able to know the difference.

That's the life lesson that the great builder Nehemiah teaches us. When Sanballet, Tabiah and the others heard about Nehemiah's dream of rebuilding Jerusalem's walls they became angrey, plotted together and stired up trouble. What did Nehemiah do he kept his dream and vision red hot! Follow his example stay on higher ground. I don't come down from the safety of a higher place to deal with the foolishness or danger of what is beneath me. I tell you it works. It frees your soul to be free. If you haven't tried it you should. It will mess your enemies up. If I can leave you with anything, I will leave you with this--in this life there will be a lot of things thrown at you. Take them as they come. Some things you fight, but most you don't. Keep your dream and vision red hot!

I believe in you and pray that you will protect the purpose and plan God has place in your spirit and DON'T LET ANYBODY or ANYTHING steal your dream and vision!
