When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean." Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8... -

He Makes Dreams Come True

May He grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans! Psalms 20:4 ESV
It was so hot in the field that day that people were getting sick to their stomachs and the rest of us had to crop their row. As a young boy about twelve working in the tobacco field, my world was very small. My family was the least of the least and I was in my twenties before I even knew what college was, and we could have never afforded it anyway.
Still I had the desire inside to work with computers from the first one that I saw on our black and white television, and though I hardly knew what they were, they fascinated me. It was beyond my wildest dream that I could ever work in that field and I did not dare get my hopes up. Things then were difficult. There was no internet to research with as we know it today.
One day while I was zealously trying to grow closer to God, He changed that and herded me into the computer field just like cattle through a chute. With no formal education, it seemed that it just came naturally and soon other technicians were calling me for advice. What I laid hands on, I fixed, and load balancing Linux mail servers became just another day at work. Computer programming just seemed to make sense and I picked right up on it. I now use those same skills to spread His word.
God is able to fulfill your wildest dreams. In fact, He is the one that gives them to us just as Joseph had his dream as a young boy. My dreams started to come to pass when I put Him first in my life. When nothing else mattered but Him, He gave me everything else' He is the One that makes dreams come true.

I just prayed about my dreams yesterday evening. I went through a lot over the last few years. I help take of my Mom who passed away from cancer 16 years ago. I also took care of my Dad who was bed written for 6 years and he passed in 2015. I lost custody of my 3 children 9 years ago and I have not seen them in 5 years. My Dreams were to be a writer, Get married, buy a home have my kids back and write a book. I wrote a book got it published and it only sold 4 copies. But I am an author. I am engaged now. My life took a turn and I did not understand or expect to go through so much hurt and pain. Somedays I had to say Lord why am I suffering. Just yesterday I prayed over my dreams. Things that would make me happy. For a while I felt like a failure but even still I prayed and asked God for his guidance.
Pray without ceasing. They will all be answered by OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY in His own time and will. Just believe and you will receive it.
Dreams and wishes are prayers too. Keep believing and praying for we will receive it. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME AND HE LOVES ALL SO MUCH
Amen!!
