Dreamer

I have this dream. Not a dream I have at night, but one I have in my heart.

I have grown up in church. I have heard bible stories ALL MY LIFE.

But that is all they were, stories. It became my dream to know that everything the bible says is true and real and God is who He says He is and I am who He says I am. This is why I am on the journey I am. I want to know God for who He really is, not what my culture says, or church leaders, or even limit Him by what I know of Him through the word.

Last weekend I saw that God really is who He says He is. He still moves in mighty and awesome ways. I was healed last weekend of a long time issue with heart palpitations. I never told anyone because I don't have the time or money to focus on that simple thing. Besides, what you focus on you make room for, right?

Have you ever really read through the old testament in the bible? Did you know most of your hero stories come from it? The Incredible Hulk is after Samson. Cinderella is after Esther. Noah and the people of his time were the first to see rain. Moses lead an entire nation out of bondage. But even more than these are the wonders.

Elijah was taken up in a whirlwind. Enoch walked with God and was no more. Jonah was swallowed by a fish. Ravens fed Elijah. Jacob saw a ladder with angels ascending and descending from heaven. Daniel held a conversation with the archangel Michael and was then in a den with hungry lions who couldn't eat him. And that's just the well known stuff.

My desire is to know God and have these stories be my own. Because then God is who He says He is and I am who He says I am.

This is my current meditation:
God is who He says He is.
I am who God says I am.
EVERYTHING in the bible is for me today.

I am preparing myself to experience some pretty crazy awesome stuff just because these are the things I want to believe.
Power encounters where I remove myself and let God prove himself in a completely undeniable way.
