Confirming Your Dream

Confirming Your Dream

“Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.”
~ Luke 1:36-37

When Mary received her message from the angel, she also got a promise from God—that her relative Elizabeth had also conceived in old age. Seeing Elizabeth’s miracle confirmed the validity of the vision that God gave Mary!

I get concerned when I see people who are always “in the Spirit” and living by prophecies and “dreams” and blindly following the “preacher of the moment,” but never really studying the Word of God for themselves. But on the flipside, I also get concerned when I see others who only read the Bible and never yield to the Spirit!

The truth of God’s Word reveals that you need both the Spirit and the Word in order to live effectively in the dreams and the destiny that God has planned for you. You can verify that a dream is indeed from God if it lines up with His promises and the guidance of His Word.

So ask yourself: How does your dream stand up against God’s Word? Is your dream confirmed as a “God idea”? Or just a “good idea”?

Prayer for the day:

Ask God to confirm the dreams He has given you by speaking to you through His Word.
