Opening:
I had a great dream last night[Article written a few years ago] to push me forward in life. No matter where we are, we have Jesus. If we’re messing up, we can turn it around. If we’re fighting onward, we can cleave paths of righteousness. Whatever you do, fight on for the cause of goodness and love.
Movement of the Holy Spirit:
I have good dreams and I have nightmares. A miracle once led me to believe that the nightmares are of the devil. I’ll cover that sometime. When I am doing very well though spiritually, I have good dreams.
The best good dreams have me practicing or playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins. They’re just the hands down best dreams. God uses them to say,”Jim, you’re right where I want you.” I had one last night. I have a lot to talk about dreams, for I started getting them after I prayed for them. Before I prayed for dreams, I would get 1-3 a year. But after I prayed, I got one a day for basically every day for a long time. They are of spiritual consequence.
In this dream, the Pens and I were training. There was a pool. I was delayed to follow the team into the next room. I told someone,”I am not good, but if I try really really hard, I might become average.” I opened a door for a girl, and told her,”You know I also open doors for women who aren’t super attractive.” She laughed. I went through the door the players went, they’re playing some sort of catch ball agility training.
All in all it was a good dream. It ended with being spoken to directly from God,”Get up and fight.” So I led my whole day in fight mode for good vs evil. I was tempted to name this Daily Bread: Fight Club Church, but the cheesiness of that might have some of you doing unsubscribes. LOL. I do want people to have the spirit to fight on as if we’re in a supernatural battle, and it is important to encourage yourself to do the most good you can.
Forgiveness:
God, we might have not known you’re real in the past. In the past we might have been half hearted. In the past we might not have known Earth as a battleground between good and evil. Forgive us of not understanding that everyone battles, and we should fight on for the cause of good. Help us to be as good and loving to everyone we can. Amen.
Today’s Blessing:
I pray that if you get bucked off the horse that you get right back on when it’s the right time to do it. And for you to identify a battle to avoid and move onward.
Scripture:
2 Corinthians 10:4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Praise for God:
God, you act so so much in my life. I wish other people knew you were real. That’s why I tell people. You are the God of goodness and love. Everything we do in goodness and love attracts your favor. I wish more people acted in goodness and love and saw your favor, for you own. God owns more than we can fathom. What an awesome, ownage God we have. Jesus is LORD!
Prayer Cues:
Pray people are awakened that they should be good and loving.
Pray that persecution happens less often, to less people, and is less intense.
Pray for police, firefighters, paramedics, doctors, nurses, surgeons, anesthesiologists.
