DREAM KILLERS/DREAM SUPPORTERS

Something happen to me last week that really made me think. At first I did not want to talk about it but again, it is all to help someone. Life has a way of revealing people, places and things. Spiritually I was really struggling with what was revealed to me but I just allowed it to happen. When I did, the true revelation became clear. Don’t mean to sound super religious but the moment you make a vow to do something much bigger than yourself that is when you are tested. On this journey I have begun to discover who people really are and their true identity, it can be heart breaking. I allowed God to take the “spiritual cataracts” off of my eyes. Don’t be surprise if it is your own flesh and blood. In that, I have to maintain my focus because obviously the devil knows that my gifts are a threat to the world. That is fine with me!

When you make a commitment to the will of the God you find out who is with you and who is not. Everyone is not going to believe in your dreams and everyone is not going to push you. I call them Dream Killers. There are a lot of Dream Killers out there and they do not want to see you flourish. But I want to encourage you: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might”. (Eph 6:10)

On the flip side, some say to watch your circle but I allowed my faith to destroy the circle.  The circle did not allow me to be open to other people/situations that might be a blessing to my life. With a circle, it is closed and no room for anything else, it is also more controlled. I’m not saying to lose control of the people in your life, I am saying is to be more perceptive and discern if it is right or not. I had to learn to get rid of the circle because it was not benefiting me. You need people in your life but be careful of the kinds of people. Give yourself room to trust and if you struggle with trust, ask God to help you with that. In the field I’m in I had to train myself to be open minded. (I am still learning!) This is not always easy because Hurt can sometime become your best friend. I find myself always consulting with God about EVERYTHING and then I just walk in in faith.

Don’t be afraid to eradicate whomever it may be. It could be family, friends, associates, acquaintances, cat, dog, bird whatever!  If they don’t speak, walk, and believe the same language of life as you do cut it like gangrene. I began to ask God to divinely put the right people in my life. God knows what and who I need. I have been blessed to have a couple of REALLY good friends that I call my “Dream Supporters”. They push me to the limit and I am SO thankful for that.

My philosophy for dreams/dreamers is simply. Dreamers are distinctive people. They get attacked, criticized, rejected, and talked about the most. Sometimes being a dreamer can leave you by yourself and it can be a lonely road.  I also believe that dreams were put in you the day you were born and NO one has the right to KILL it for you. Since when did they become God? Since when did they determine your fate? Never allow any human being to have that much control over your life. You are out of order to destroy another person’s dream. So ask yourself am I Dream Killer or Dream Supporter? And this goes for me to.

We have more power than we give ourselves credit for. I have the power to control whether or not I want to keep my dreams going. It is all up to me! Some dreams require a lot of work and diligence and this is when you must protect your dreams. It is your baby, a part of you and what makes you get out of bed every morning. If you are blessed to have just one person as a Dream Supporter, keep them close and cherish them constantly. I am finding out MOST people in the world do not have a support system.

Jesse Duplantis said something very powerful, “Dreams have no expiration date”. Society says that you have to be certain age to do this or that but it is not true. It is what you believe. It starts in the mind and then the heart. Getting both the heart and the mind working together with the support of “Dream Supporters” you can make it. For those that do not have “Dream Supporters” support and believe in yourself is what I can say. Look yourself in the mirror and encourage yourself. I do it all time! Look inside your own soul and speak life into it!  You can always pray for God to send someone that supports and believe in your dreams. But at the end of the day you go to bed with those dreams inside of you and they will not be soundless until you GRASP for them. Dreams have a certain sound to them and only you can identify them so keep reaching toward your dreams!

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”- Harriet Tubman
