At the end of 2007, the Lord made it very clear to me that His body was not just stepping into a new year with the ritual or traditional New Year’s resolution but a year of beginnings. You must understand that this year, “2008″, is the season that you come in contact with the reality of your dreams. The Lord said that on December 31, 2007, when your clock hit 12 midnight, you crossed over into your realities. This is what was going on in this text. The people of Judah were celebrating their release from Babylonian captivity. For years they were dreaming of freedom, dreaming of laughter, peace, joy, etc…. There was anticipation to seeing the realities of what they were dreaming. Does this sound like you? What were your dreams in 2007? Were you dreaming about your marriage being healed and restored? How about a better relationship with your children? That dream of starting your own company, being financially free, being healthy, walking in the gifts and calling of God for your life, etc…? I can go on and on but I think you get the picture.

The people of Judah were experiencing the reality of their dreams even to the point where it seemed like a dream. In others words they were saying that famous phrase of today, “I can’t believe it”! Well, I’m telling you to believe it! You are not dreaming. This is really happening. You and I have gone years of people saying that it can’t happen, it won’t happen, and awhhhhhhhhh you’re crazy. Well, excuse me while I speak on your behalf and mine to those haters out there who said it couldn’t be done! We are not crazy! Not in the past, present, or future. God loves dreamers. When you dream, you open yourself up to another form of communication with God. It is in this place where He begins to show you that your dreams were His dreams for you since the beginning of time. I encourage you to keep on dreaming because God is waiting to show you more.

If you don’t mind, I would like to share my testimony with you of how I am right now experiencing my realities. One of my dreams was to have my ordination as a Pastor and Prophet (which was already done by God) to be confirmed by those I had submitted myself under. You see, it doesn’t matter what you are called to do, God already ordained you before the foundation of world was established. Religion says that when a preacher lays his/her hands on you, then you are at that moment a pastor, prophet, teacher, evangelist, or apostle but that’s not true. An ordination service is only a confirming or agreement of what God has established.  Religion also says that it should happen at a time I think it should but that is also incorrect. Just as who you were to be on earth was established, the time or season was as well. For anyone to say that you are not this or it’s not time yet, are dead wrong. Let me say this in love to those of you who have said and/or right now still speaking those words. Please stop. When you speak these things to someone out of an impure heart, you are only yielding your instruments (the parts of our bodies) to sin.

Romans 6:12-14 12 Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to its lustful desires. 13 Do not let any part of your body become a tool of wickedness, to be used for sinning. Instead, give yourselves completely to God since you have been given new life. And use your whole body as a tool to do what is right for the glory of God. 14 Sin is no longer your master, for you are no longer subject to the law, which enslaves you to sin. Instead, you are free by God’s grace.

When you allow the spirit of religion to control you by using your mouth to speak against what God has already established, you are using your mouth to declare the plans of this spirit into existence. I just felt I needed to share this part. Getting back to my dream, the call for my life was not confirmed by those who I submitted myself under. I share this not to discredit anyone but only to encourage you. When it was time for me to leave that place and come to Ohio, I had no idea of what was ahead of me. For you see, it was here in Columbus, Oh on December 31, 2007 that my pastors Apostle CJ and Lanita Gaul agreed with what God had done in heaven and ordained my wife and I.  Let the realities of your dreams this year flow like a gushing river. When it flows like a gushing river, nothing and I mean nothing can stop it. Enjoy your realities and forgive those who spoke evil against it. Don’t point your finger in pride to say “I told you so”. That’s not the character of God. I hear in my spirit that the realities will speak for itself and it doesn’t matter if they say I’m sorry or not. You and I must walk in love because Psalm 118:23 says: “This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous to see”. This is your season! Amen
