Elijah said to her, Don't be afraid; go and do as you have said; but make me of it a little cake first, and bring it forth to me, and afterward make for you and for your son. For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, The jar of meal shall not empty, neither shall the jar of oil fail, until the day th... -
In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost!" and they cried out for fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying "Cheer up! I AM! Don't be afraid." Peter answered him and said...

Anchor of the Soul from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. When people lose hope, they lie down and die. They lose the will to live and fight any longer. Hopelessness is utter despair, the belief that nothing good will happen. When you begin to think like this, it will bring a desire to die. A ...

Dare To Dream

When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Please let there be a double portion of your spirit on me. 2 Kings 2:9 ESV
Walking together down the road, Elisha was just a servant. The mighty prophet Elijah was renowned for calling fire down from heaven multiple times. He caused a draught on the land, and then caused it to rain. He resurrected people from the dead, fed people for years from a small jar, and much more. He was a force to be reckoned with.
Elisha could only dream of being used by God like that. Still, he asked for a double portion anointing, and the Lord gave it to him. Elijah did fourteen miracles, Elisha did twenty-eight. Exactly twice as many.
Do not be afraid to dream big. God can easily surpass your wildest dreams and go beyond your imagination, if you will go with Him. Of course, keep God centered and be a good servant / steward along the way, just as Elisha did. Dare to follow your dream. It just may be that the Lord placed that within you for such a time as this.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, give me a fresh vision and renew the dream that you gave me. I want all that You have for me Lord, in the name of Jesus.
Note: Happy Father''s Day! We pray that you all have a very blessed day as we honor the fathers in our lives and reflect on the love that our heavenly Father showed us through the sacrifice of His Son!

Now is the time to dream big and ask God for your real purpose. God told me this morning at 4;00 AM, "You have it all wrong, My Gospel does not need to be Marketed, people will soon need it!" I think we need to get ready.

My dreams are the one thing my parents and sister can't take from me! Yesterday, I felt compelled to listen to an old Aerosmith song, 'Dream On", over and over! Now I found my sister is falsely accusing me of sending her harassing emails--I have a new email address just to prevent HER from bothering ME! I'm beginning to realize what Rubin "Hurricane" Carter went through way back when!

God already knows our heart, He just wants us to be involved in a relationship with Him. He puts His dreams their, just waiting for us to involve Him.

This especially speaks to me, as I am at a time in my life when my dreams and what I've worked for and love to do are in jeopardy due to health. The Lord is helping me keep my eyes on Him though, and rely on His promises like this. I seem to be getting lots of messages like this one lately..wonderful how He does this when I need some comfort and encouragement!

Amen, Mary Pat, I sure know how you feel, because things with my health are facing many issues today and I have had to lay it at Jesus's feet, because I can't carry the burden any longer. I will be praying for you. God bless you and the work Jesus would have you to do.
