Jericho

So, what do we do when we have a dream and we just don't know how it's going to happen? We have our faith, we know what we want to do, but how the heck is going to get here?? UPS?! That's the point I'm at right now, how do I go about making it happen with a plan if there's no road in sight! Not even a dirt road. That's where people say that you should trust God, and see what happens. What am I supposed to do while I'm waiting? Put my life on hold and sit tight? No, I think not my friends! We do need to trust God with our life and dreams; but God also told us to pray. Some people think intercessing is getting on your knees and begging God to make your dreams happen; I happen to disagree. I believe all intercessing is praying over the things in your life or in someone else's. Jesus said to pray over what you want as if it was already yours; so if you're praying over it as if it was already yours, you wouldn't be asking for it, you'd be thanking him for it. Joshua didn't sit on his knees and beg God to bring down the walls of Jericho before they went marching around the walls; he just did what God told him to do in order to get to his dream of getting to the promise land. If we have a dream, all we need is Gods instruction on how to get to that dream. But Joshua didn't know that was going to be on obstacle before he got there, but God still took care of it. The walls came tumbling down through their yelling and blowing of trumpets; through their voices came the praises that allowed God to take the walls down, and lead them where they needed to go--they're dreams. Even though we don't know what's at the beginning of our road blocking us from our destination, until it's literally right up in our face; God still has a way of getting us there. All we have to do is,"Trust, pray our way with praise, and allow Gods power to run through our praises." Joshua knew those walls wouldn't come down unless he did what God told him to do; and he also knew God would do for him everything He said He would, if he only just believed and acted. Jesus said in Mark 11:24, "Truly I say to you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe, trust and be confident that it IS granted you, and you will get it." Hold onto your dreams, even if you can't see past Jericho yet!
