James 2:26
As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without spirit is dead
Yearly we hear people say they are changing and making resolutions, however they start off for the first 30 days and then that same piece of paper becomes history. I asked God what is it that we can do to make a change in this approach for our years to come. God replied we should stop talking and start doing something. That led me to thinking about people who are dreamers and those that are doers. What is the difference and how would this change our outcome for the year were the questions I had in my mind.
I started researching what was a dreamer and what would be a doer. According to Webster, a dreamer is a person, who lives in a world of fantasy; one who is impractical and unrealistic. I also researched what a doer was, and learned that it is characterized by action, as distinguished from one given in contemplation.
I spent some time studying and meditating on both definitions, God spoke to me again but this time it was with His word in James 2:26 “Faith without works is dead”.
God is telling us that dreaming about doing something is just what it is — a dream, and a person that is just a doer becomes a busy body with no objective. However when you take that dream and use it as God has intended for you to do, then HIS will is manifested in your life.
Once my Holy Ghost light bulb of revelation came on I said to God, my desire is not to be a neither dreamer nor doer but make me a “Dreamer-Doer”. I started speaking over my dreams and saying dream, it is activation time. I must allow God to manifest His purpose in my life.
This year I challenge you to not limit yourself to just a dreamer or doer but become a DREAM-DOER…
God Bless,
Elder Plezie Small… God’s Pusher
In the Spirit
Today, I challenge you to be a dreamer as all successful people are big dreamers; close your eyes, relax… breathe and exhale… Now imagine the possibilities; pick up your imaginary paint brush and draw that wonderful picture.
What does it look like?
NOW, I challenge you to open your eyes slow-ly and put that imagination into action, move that big dream from imagination to action. What will it take to move into action? What does it look like?
You are now a DREAMER-DOER!
