I thought I would start out with somewhat of an explanation of what I do believe in. As a follower of Christ, I came to believe in the Lord Jesus as my savior. That I was a sinner and I needed a redeemer. Believing such, has also led me into another world, different from the world I was brought up in prior to this belief. That world being the INVISABLE world. I was aware of the VISABLE world, and was somewhat comfortable there, but always knew deep down, that there was something deeper, something more significant than what I was truly seeing...and living...this new world of the INVISABLE....truly opened doors and shed LIGHT on the many truths of God's...that would otherwise have been left unanswered, unopened, and deceiving.
You may be a follower of Christ, or you may be searching. Whatever you may be, you MUST be aware of both of the realms that surround us of the visable and the invisable, because that is the world we live in. Do NOT be deceived, do NOT be afraid, for the Lord is GOOD, His burden is light and His yoke is easy. You just have to step out in faith and trust Him. Do NOT be afraid of the enemy, for God has already conquered Him. I only speak of the enemy so that you would be aware of his schemes and you would NOT be deceived in this life, as your salvation and your station in this world as a warrior of the Lord our God, depends on it.
"The forces that determine history fall into two categories: visible and invisable. It is the interplay of these two realms that determines the course of history. As long as we confine our attention to things that are visable and material, we will find ourselves confronted from time to time by events and situations that we cannot fully explain or control.
To the visable realm belong all the normal objects and events of the material universe. We are familiar with this realm and feel at home in it, even though events often do not follow the course we would wish. For many people, the limits of their awareness do not extend further. Yet the Bible opens a door to another, invisable realm, which is not material, but spiritual. The forces at work in this realm exercise a continuous and decisive influence on events in the visible realm.
In 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 Paul delineates these two realms: For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
The things that belong to the visible realm are transitory and impermanent (note from me: even it's truths and facts). It is only in the invisable realm that we can find true and abiding reality. It is in this realm, too, that we discover the forces that will ultimately shape our destiny, even in the visable realm. Paul makes it clear that success in life depends upon being able to apprehend and relate to that which is invisable and spiritual." From the book, 'Blessing or Curse,You Can Choose,' by author Derek Prince.
Something to ponder and pray about!

This is definitely good stuff. The verse you have from Matthew about "what I tell you in the dark, reveal in the light" is a verse the Lord has given to me as well. I'm new at all of this stuff (not Christianity and religion) but I'm new to relationship with Jesus. The Lord will give me dreams, too and I know He is beginning something in me. I am searching with how to react to everything and I'm doing a lot of reading. Mostly on intercession, but God is definitely preparing me for something! I love your blog and I definitely support you posting your dreams. This IS an aspect of the ministry the Lord is giving to you. Keep trusting that HE IS the one giving them to you. I believe that He is. :-) BLessings and love, April
Thanks April:) You know, I had never come across that verse about 'what I tell you in the dark, shout it out in the light'-or if I had-I didn't get it!LOL! :D However, during that specifc time of condemnation I was telling you about, the Lord led me to that verse specifically, so it was very freeing. As soon as I saw it, I HAD to add it to the blog.
It's amazing what the Lord reveals to us all. Especially in these end times, 'where young and old will be given dreams and visions.' I've been hearing of many muslim salvations as well by muslims specifically having dreams w/Jesus in them calling them unto Him. It's awesome!
However, like with all things and giftings, I try to stay balanced and pray about what to do with them before I speak. It's been so hard as I get so excited about them, but I've learned that the enemy can use them against us when we 'give pearls to swine.' Sometimes the Lord reveals things to us privatly, just so that we can pray about them (intersession) and at other times, to share publicly..but for the most part, I'm finding they are for intersession...that's why I am still praying for which dreams to write about, and which ones to hold to myself for intersession.
Anyways- a great gifting to pray for, but one with a lot of responsibility. Let me know what the Lord does with it with you! I'd love to stay updated.
