Today I was really blessed by this from "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers:
Arise, let us go hence. — John 14:31
Dreaming about a thing in order to do it properly is right; but dreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong. After Our Lord had said those wonderful things to His disciples, we might have expected that He would tell them to go away and meditate over them all; but Our Lord never allowed "mooning." When we are getting into contact with God in order to find out what He wants, dreaming is right; but when we are inclined to spend our time in dreaming over what we have been told to do, it is a bad thing and God’s blessing is never on it. God’s initiative is always in the nature of a stab against this kind of dreaming, the stab that bids us "neither sit nor stand but go."
If we are quietly waiting before God and He has said – "Come ye yourselves apart," then that is meditation before God in order to get at the line He wants; but always beware of giving over to mere dreaming when once God has spoken. Leave Him to be the source of all your dreams and joys and delights, and go out and obey what He has said. If you are in love, you do not sit down and dream about the one you love all the time, you go and do something for him; and that is what Jesus Christ expects us to do. Dreaming after God has spoken is an indication that we do not trust Him.
Every one of us should KNOW where God wants US to be, and what God wants US to do! Once we know this, then it is time to "move it on out"! We have been taught at The Spoken Word Church that it is NOT God's will that we sit around just waiting to get a Word from God! We are to be IN His Word, filled with the Spirit and obedient to what we KNOW to do! When you receive direction from the Lord, then commit yourself to obey. When you think you have a course of action, present it before the Him in prayer saying "Father, I believe that THIS is what you are telling me to do. I am going to go ahead and do this and if I am wrong, let me know". He WILL! He desires your success even more than you do! Remember, TRUE success is: being where God wants you to be, doing what God wants you to do! Find out HIS plan for YOUR life, and then DO it! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Tell The World":
Shalom in Him!
