Sharing Your Dreams

We have all dreamt of something and wanted to see it come to pass. Or we have a vision of something we would like to do and accomplish in the future. Some of us run to tell our parents, friends, co-workers, someone close and maybe some who aren't that close. Usually because we are excited and just have to share it with someone.

Then it comes out of nowhere from someone you've told. You want to do what? How? With what? That seems impossible, or they may just begin to laugh at you.

Now if you aren't a strong person you may bow your head in defeat and forget about your dream. This constitutes a great majority of people. An idea is placed in your head that is so radical you can barely believe it yourself and then you go tell someone else who probably has not had the courage to live out their own dreams. Why the shock and hurt that they aren't supportive of you?

Everyone who is around you isn't for you. Those who aren't happy with themselves and their self-growth will have a difficult time genuinely being happy for you.

Therefore be careful whom you share your dreams with. It was your dream for a reason. There is no need to go around telling anyone who will listen what your future plans are. They will see the manifestation. Sharing your dreams can drudge up some ugly attitudes in the people closest to you.

Take the story of Joseph in the bible. He had a dream that his brother would bow down to him. He woke up and told them immediately. Now him being the youngest brother telling his older brothers, their response was to sell him into slavery and then tell their father he had died. In the end his brothers did end up bowing down to him and Joseph went through a lot of things before that happened (Genesis 37-50). Nevertheless, as it says in the bible Genesis 50:20 As for you, you meant evil against me, God meant it for good!

The great part of Joseph's story is that when God places a dream in your heart no matter what others day they can not stop the manifestation of it. The only person who can stop you from fulfilling your dreams is YOU.

What God has for you is for you and only you. Believe it, Receive it, and walk in your Inheritance. Speak those things that be not as though they were.


Be a blessing and be blessed,
