God's Dream

I have been on a roller coaster for some time as I said last blog, with the departure of our most wonderful son, beautiful daughter in-law and our two georgous grandsons to Jakarta to follow the leading of the Lord; then the news that our daughter in NZ is going to give birth in late August; not to mention the constant attack from the enemy, things have gone a little pear shaped for me BUT as I said, I am back, I've been going back over my prayer journals and read and re-read what Dad has been saying to me and that has got me going again. God, our heavenly Father, our Dad wants so much for our world. He wants an inclusive community of people who love Him and are prepared to surrender all in order to see this come to pass; this is the Kingdom.
He wants none to perish and has demonstrated this in the sending of His Son, our Lord Jesus.
He wants you and me to be part of His creating; by that I mean, it is only the past that has been concreted into place, the future is ours, with Him to create.
Do you realise what that means??? When Jesus teaches His disciples to pray and says, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven," He wants you and me to be part of that; part of the creating.
He askes you and me to pray and make our desires (which are His desires) known to Him so that He can then make it happen.
Do you know what that means?? I ask and believe that my future son in-law be saved and he will be. I say this with force because Jesus taught His disciples in Mark 11:24 "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have recieved it, and it will be yours." This is not name and claim rubbish, but knowing the will of Father and standing in faith believeing that it will be. This is a knowing deep in our being that Jesus wants this and so, the Father does too; and with that the answer will come; BUT don't give up believing, don't give up knowing that Dad wants it, don't, don't, don't doubt and never stop believing. The answer WILL come. I promise, I say this because if Jesus said it, He means it, and if He means it then that's it, as good as done.
