"Every generous act and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights; with Him there is no variation or shadow cast by turning." James 1:17
When I became saved in the Spring of 2013 the Lord gave me many dreams that helped me understand who He is. He was my main teacher during those amazing first few months. Spring was a time of rebirth and growing in trust and childlike faith. And as I've said in a recent post, now I am thankful to receive beautiful songs in my dreams from the Lord.
"That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God's deep secrets"
1 Corinthians 2:9-10
God has so many things in His storehouse. He has so many things awaiting us way up in Heaven. And we are instructed to test Him, and see if He doesn't give to us!
"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." Malachi 3:10
Bill Johnson said that the Kingdom of Heaven is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. How true! To outsiders Jesus says, "narrow is the path" (Matthew 7:14). But David, a friend of God, praised the Lord for broadening the path for his sake (Psalms 18:36). Once inside the Kingdom, once you have sought God, that's when He gives you the desires of your heart. That's when He can redeem your creativity! That's when you can embrace a download from Heaven.
This download may be a dream. It may be a vision. It may mean making artwork, or a song, or a writing. It will come surrounded by a gift of wisdom--more on this in a future post. God wants to give each of us a portion of His imagination to apply to our respective fields. Seek first His Kingdom, and see if He doesn't transform your life.
