I had a dream. It was quite peculiar in nature but what I can remember I'll share. It seemed as if I was in a dungeon with a few people. Seriously unable to move or anything. It was dark and lonely. Then the dream shifted to me being at a table. I sat at this table all alone but. There was a shirt on the table that said devil on it. It felt like I was being prompted to put the shirt on but instead I began tearing holes in the shirt.
Then approaches this man, I've never seen him before. But he asked me "do you really think you can lead people to Christ?" I looked him in his eyes, full of confidence and said yes. So he went to a bookshelf that I didn't notice was there and said find a scripture in the Bible then. My first thought was I can with or without it, the Bible is just an additive to what I've experienced. As I gave my response the dream faded and I began to awake. Then the scripture Hebrews 11:16 came to me. I made note of it and went back to bed. When I woke back up I looked up the scripture, It reads..
Hebrews 11:16 NKJV
But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
Right? So to put this into context we gotta go from the top of the chapter.
Hebrews 11:1 reads
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
The dungeon to me was symbolic of the dark vulnerable place I was in. It was truly lonely. Me encountering the shirt and the unknown person was definitely me taking control. That was me making a stance for myself. So as I began to meditate on that, I had a full circle moment. Yes, I have pulled away from "the church" and what would be considered "Christian living". However, through my faith and what I was able to overcome there will be someone who'll see the manifestation of God in my life. When they look at me they'll see his light shinning through. Real talk. And that was a message he gave me when I was deep in that shit. He promised me I'll get out but I had to have faith.
That gave me a great sense of peace. Considering all that I have in motion right now. The last 6 months have truly been an adventure and I'm enjoying this shit! This year I have 3 major projects I'm working on. Well they're major to me. But I definitely have faith that they'll come to fruition!! That was just his way of reminding me that it's my faith that propelled me to this point. So my message today is, don't stop believing!!
Remember, we're only changing for the best!
