What Are You Doing to Make a Move on Your Dream?

When I was sixteen years old, I met the most beautiful girl I had ever met in my life. She was quite a catch; I knew I had to play it very cool and calm to ever attract someone like her. After 3 months, one day she came right out and asked me, “When are you going to ask me out”? I almost fainted from her bold move. Well, three years later she walked down the aisle as we were married and thirty-eight years later we have a GOD DREAM marriage that He put together.

What are you doing today to make a move on your dream? Is it your dream to be a teacher, fireman, lawyer, doctor, preacher, housewife, or a  mom with four kids? I’m convinced that many folks miss their dreams because they haven’t done anything to prepare themselves for their dream.

When Joshua was very young, he made a move toward his God given dream. As a leader he believed that Israel was more than able to go in and possess the land that God had ordained. It was only an eleven day journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, but ten doubters stopped the entire dream from happening. Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Several things will ATTACK your making a move on your dream. First, “DOUBT” is a major weapon that Satan uses to stop people like the ten spies from making preparations for their dream.

Hell says, “You can’t be a Pilot, Nurse, Judge, Veterinarian or an Orthodontist. You’re not smart enough; you don’t have the money to go to college or to put your first book into print. You just don’t have what it takes” Hell attacks you with doubt, doubt and MORE doubt.

Mark Twain said "Twenty years from now, you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did do."

Why don’t you begin to use your FAITH as you make a move on your dream? One day, I really did have my first date with my now wife Von Nell. Was I scared and nervous with sweaty palms? You better believe I was. But like John Wayne once said, “Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway.” When are you going to ‘saddle up’ and make a move on your pilot’s license, that home you have believed for, the dream job? Quit allowing the devil’s doubts to overwhelm you. Choose today to FEED your Faith and STARVE your doubts. You will be amazed what the Lord will do as YOU make the move on your dream.

Revelation 3:8 says; "I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me.” Joshua eventually walked through that open door all because he never quit. What are you doing today to make preparations for the GOD- Given desires and dreams HE has placed in your heart? Have you made your first move yet?

Does God Have a Billboard in the Heavens? 2

          In John Hagee’s recent book, he studies The Four Blood Moons, (a tetrad) that have taken place for centuries. But he sees a phenomenon that I’ve never read about before. It’s interesting that he discovers where the Jewish Festivals, the Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles, are tied to the Four Blood Moons. Each of these times Israel’s history has been affected by these Four Blood Moons. Should any of us take note of this discovery?
        Only three times in the last 500 years have the Four Blood Moons been tied to the Jewish Festivals. In Joel 2:30-31 and Acts 2: 19, 20, and in Luke 21:25,  Jesus himself declares that He will show us Signals in the Heavens with the stars, moon and the Sun to remind us of His Return back to this earth.

So just what significant things have taken place in the last three tetrads, or the last three Four Blood Moons in Israel’s history?

·       1492 Spain puts Israel out of its country

·       1948,49, Israel, after 1900 years becomes a nation in their homeland

·       1967 Israel wins a 6 day war over the Arabic enemies and Jerusalem becomes the capital of Israel.

Every time the Four Blood Moons have taken place when it’s tied to Jewish Festivals, Israel has faced great challenges with Tears but ended in Triumph. There will be SEVEN more Four Blood Moons this century, but only ONE of the SEVEN will be aligned to the Jewish Festivals. Is the Lord Jesus Christ giving us a wakeup call? Is He saying again, “When all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near?" (Luke 21:28)

   The Next Four Blood Moons will take place on these dates

·       The Passover April 15^th 3 AM ET

·       Feast of Tabernacles October 8^th 2014

·       The Passover April 4^th 2015

^·         Feast of Tabernacles September 28^th 2015

In No Way do any of these dates declare when the Lord will return for His People. Jesus himself says, “No man knows the day or the hour of His return.” (Matt 24:36) I encourage you to “Look Up”, for any moment our Lord could return for His Church

Does God have a Billboard in the Heavens?

God always communicates his Glory, Love and Grace in the Heavens. “The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.” (Psalms 19:1) USA Today recently published an article from a NASA report. One of the Four Blood Moons is coming up in a few days starting with April 15^{th 2014} at 3:07 AM ET and will only last about 30 minutes according to analyst. This phenomenon is in NO WAY meant to set a date for the return of Christ but becomes very interesting the more we study about it.

For many years there have been Blood Moons, but only three have happened in the last 500 years that tie in with the Jewish Festivals. Is something up in the heavens? Does God communicate to us through the Sun, Moon and the Stars?  “And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth—blood and fire and columns of smoke.³¹ The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible^[a] day of the Lord arrives.” (Joel 2:30-31) Then again Peter repeats the same words on the Feast of Pentecost. Then Jesus Himself in Luke 21: ²⁵ “And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides.” God is saying, “Are you watching?” “Are you looking for MY return?”

It’s so easy to be distracted with so much that life throws at you. It’s easy to get stressed with increasing gas prices and what you pay for groceries. Stress may continue with the uncertainty of your job, marriage, the safety of your kids at school and terrorism around the world.  But Jesus is about to send a reminder that He is Coming Again. Jesus said, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in Me. ² There is more than enough room in My Father’s home.^[a] If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you” (John 14:1, 2)

                       

Does God use Signs and Signals in the Heavens to show His Glory and His Return to the earth?

Joshua, the leader of Israel was under attack by the Amorites. ^{NLT 12 “}On the day the Lord gave the Israelites victory over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the Lord in front of all the people of Israel. He said, “Let the sun stand still over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of Aijalon.”¹³ So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies.

                        

Hezekiah had just been told by the prophet Isaiah, “Set your house in order, you are going to die.” Hezekiah immediately turned his face to the wall and pleaded with God. “Lord you know I have been faithful to you all these years.” Before Isaiah could get out of the court, God said, “Tell him I have heard his cry and I will add 15 years to his life.” Hezekiah responds, “How will I know that God will do this?” Isaiah said, “The sundial can either go forward or back; which would you like?” The King said, “Cause the Sun to go back 10 degrees.”

The Wise Men from the East went searching for the Messiah, The Christ who would be born in Bethlehem. When they went to Herod, they said, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.” Again, God used the Heavens to declare His glory and a sign of His Coming. God still uses His Billboard in the Heavens to declare His Glory. Be watching what will happen in the next Four Blood Moons. “In the last three tetrads, significant things took place with Israel.”

       the Four Blood Moons tied to the Jewish Festivals in Israel.

Is Heaven a Hoax?

Why would anybody want to miss out on Heaven? The truth is that 250,000 people die every day. It’s sad but not everybody goes to heaven. You may have lost a son, a daughter, a dad, a mom or a grandparent. Amazing, but to this day, I have never met anyone 500 years old and I bet you haven’t either. What about 300, 150, or 125 years old? The average life expectancy in America is 77-80. In Swaziland, Africa it’s 31.99, and 82 years in Japan.

    But regardless of how long we live, each of us is going to face our Creator one day, and then the Day of Judgment will come. Will you make Heaven your eternal home? It’s sad, but very little is said today in our churches about our future home. Many want to explore MARS and the Milky Way, but what about that physical place called Heaven?

Let’s LOOK at 3 Things that Hinder people’s View of Heaven
 

·       DOUBT

Satan was very slick in causing Adam and Eve to doubt what God had to say about their living and staying in the Garden of Eden. They were instructed to never touch the Tree of Knowledge. Satan starts by getting Eve to question God, “Has God said not to eat of that tree?” Satan then says, “God knows the day you eat of that fruit you will be like Him”. Doubt was the beginning step toward the luscious fruit that hung from that tree. “Just one bite surely won’t hurt you.” But that one bite was the seed of doubt that caused them to lose their heaven on earth.

 ·       DISTRACTIONS       

One of the most dangerous weapons on the road today is the Smart Phone. Many are multitasking with their time as they drive and text at the same time. I must confess I have done it myself. My family and I have made a vow to one another not to use the device that could take another life or even our own. But isn’t it distracting when you’re sitting at a red light. You say, “Well I better see who’s texting me.” Friend, Satan will use many things to distract your worship from The One True God. Many today are distracted with their jobs, family, sports, working overtime, hunting, fishing, golfing. There is nothing wrong with any of these unless you place them before your Holy God. If your affection for these becomes greater than your love for God, you’re on dangerous ground.  Jesus says, ”Seek first the Kingdom Of God and His righteousness and then these other things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33). Don’t allow this world to distract your affection for God’s Presence.

·       DISCOURAGEMENT

There may have been times you have questioned your value and identity. But your value isn’t based on your title, position, bank account, looks, or how many ‘likes’ you get on Facebook. God says, “You are the apple of His eye.” Satan’s greatest tool against most people is discouragement. We can experience this emotion with much pain in the loss of relationships, health, positions, income, friendships.  And the list goes on and on. Jesus is the great Encourager who says, “I will never leave you nor forsake you. “ God says, “No weapon formed against you will prosper.” The Holy Spirit was sent from Heaven when Jesus left this earth. He comes to build us up, walk by our side, and point our eyes towards the Heavens where our help comes from. Jesus says, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. ² There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.^[a] If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?^{[b] 3} When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.” (John 14: 1, 2, 3)
