Interpreting a Vision

So you have had a vision and now you are not sure what to do with what you have seen. Well, let me begin by saying that visions, dreams, and prophetic words are like onions. They have layers. That is why I tell people to write them down. God's words to us are true and yea, and amen! so when you receive a word from Him, keep a record of it. That way when it comes time for prophetic activation to occur you have the roadmap written down. In order to interpret your vison or dream you need a vision dictionary or encyclopedia if you will. A dictionary will give you basic knowledge of objects, colors, numbers etc but an encyclopedia view will give you the depth and breadth of interpretation that you need. Where do you get these materials? I have some blogs available on prophetic colors, prophetic objects, etc...But developing your own vision interpretation dictionary and encyclopedia is important. When you see a vision here are some basic steps to take
1.Write it down. Not just the basics but
try to remember details. Timing, places, names, clothing and colors. What were you feeling at the time of the vision, fearful, excited, angry, joyful. Who else was there in the vision?
2. The dictionary part: look at each item individually for pieces of information that you can readily see.
3. The encyclopedia approach: now gather up the important timeline of the vision. What happened and in what sequence.
4 Finally the most important. Ask the Holy Spirit to grant you wisdom and revelation as you seek to learn more about what He has shown you.
These basic steps are key to understanding the vsion that God has given to you.

Activating your Prophetic Destiny Part 2

How do I activate my prophetic destiny to bring the plan of God from the heavenly realm to the earthly realm? This is the burning question in the heart of many believers. First of all, let me tell you that you have not failed. Listen to me carefully, you have not failed. You are seeking God's direction and God's plan and you are searching for the activation of God's prophetic word for you. Think of a mountain range. Think of how big the mountains are and how they span miles and miles of the landscape. When you see them in the distance you think that is so pretty so majestic. As you get closer you begin to realize just how far away the mountains were! And as you get closer than that you realize that there may be valleys in between the mountains. You see that the first mountain is very, very far away from the second mountain that you see. Now let's think about this example as it relates to the prophetic. When you receive a prophetic word you see it in the distance and you don't realize how big it is. You think of the word's power and majesty but you don't think of how difficult it can be to climb that mountain, or activate it if you will. And when you get to the first step of your prophetic fulfillment you don't realize that there is a valley of time in between this part of the word that has activated and the rest of the word that that has yet to be fulfilled. This is a common prophetic experience. Think about the Old Testament prophets who would prophecy Jesus the Messiah coming as a servant, coming to die for our sins and then giving a prophetic word about Jesus coming in His glory and descending from the sky with a shout. They didn't see the valley of time between the first coming of Jesus and the Second coming of the Lord. Timing is critical in the activation of your prophetic word. Understanding the seasons is very important to completing the activation of your it. For more understanding you might read my blog Activating your prophetic destiny!

Cup of Peace

Sometimes on our journey with the Lord we are in a dry and thirsty land. We are parched and need a fresh cool drink of living water. We are in a desert season and we don't even realize how hot and dusty the road has become. In those times a cup of living water is exactly what we need. The cup that runs over in the presence of our enemies. The cup that we drink from and remember our salvation and our first love of the Lord. The cup that reminds us of simpler times and simpler places before we became battle weary and war wounded in this struggle against the powers of darkness. If you will.... the times that we remember the shire that verdant living green place full of peace and joy. For those of you on the front lines of this battle, may the Lord Himself today offer you that cup of refreshment. Drink deeply and find the rest for your soul.
