                        Dare To Dream

Do not put Me in a box. Do not assume that because I moved and worked in a
particular way in previous times that I will use the same method today. Today
is a new day to seek Me afresh and to walk with Me by faith and let Me lead
you step by step by My Spirit. I am a creative God. I look for new ways to
express Myself within and through My people. Like My servant Elijah on the
mountain, many look to hear Me speak in thundering, lightening and in other
spectacular ways yet fail to hear and listen to My still small voice. Many
have become so comfortable to passively wait to hear My Word through My
prophets that they do not seek Me for themselves. You are so used to doing
this that you have forgotten what My voice speaking to you sounds like.

Have I not said that My sheep hear My voice? My beloved children, I will not
shout or scream above the noise and busyness of daily life. In order to hear
My voice you must be still and know that I am God. I will never force you
into My presence but I will woo you and usher you into the holy of holies
even as a lover ushers and woos his love into the inner chamber. I call
and knock on the door of your hearts, but it is up to you to respond to
that call.

When was the last time you listened to the birds singing, observed the wind
rustling through the trees or watched the ocean waters beat against the
beach shores? Do you not know that I also speak through My own creation.
Has your life and ministry become so busy that you have not stopped to
marvel and wonder at all that I created for you? I am calling you now to
know My ways. In order to know My ways you have to know and hear My voice.
In order to hear My voice you must be on the same wavelength with Me. Lay
down all your plans, your preconceived ideas about how I will move and just
come and listen afresh. Behold I am doing a new thing and I am looking for
a people who are flexible, those who are willing to bend when I bend, to
proceed when I proceed, to move when I say go, even as the children of
Israel in the desert moved only when the pillar of My presence moved.
