Enter the dream

We have just had our conference and many many thoughts and ponderings have come forth from it. But the haunting song "God's Favorite One" has made a lasting impact on many. Those words " Jesus here I am your favourite one, what are you thinking what are you feeling I have to know" resound through your very being if you will let them. If we could live our life from that perspective my goodness our lives could not help but be changed. To get the thoughts of God is in so many ways to enter the dream that God has for you and me. That dream is a good one filled with life and hope and nothing but good news for those who will awaken to the dream that God has for them. His dream or purpose if you will is to place us in a position that is almost medical where we inoculate others with the real sense of Gods love and freedom and where we are immune to the longings of Egypt (or wanting to go back to where we have come from) The dream will place us in a position of faith because we know it’s God's dream not our wish or want and it becomes so real that we cannot be shifted. Vulnerability becomes a lifestyle and this infects others because its genuine. Oh how I want that so bad.

To understand that God is so in love with us is a freeing thing. It sets your heart a flame to see hear and know that we are ok in his sight. One of the things said during conference was; "I've been sad and I have been happy, happy is better" Wow simplistic truths are so powerful. Make the choice and God will back that up. Happy is so much better than sad and yet that is only a choice away for us all.

One of the things we tend not to be good at is running with the convictions of our hearts, we tend rather to second guess everything. But knowing God is for us and not against us can liberate the soul to follow the wind of the Spirit. I love this verse it has a quality about it that is quite deep and spiritual yet it can be overlooked so easily...

1Co 6:12 Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is helpful. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not allow anything to control me.

We can do whatever we want and we are free to choose and God will love us in spite of our failings faults and mistakes, that is indeed a liberating thought that is the Spiritual point of this scripture that God has invested himself so deeply in us that we cannot lose our connection with Him (however we can do damage to ourselves and others and we need to walk with that in mind). This is also the incredible value that God has given to us, that we are joint heirs with Jesus and truly SONS OF GOD. .

With that in mind and to quote the movie clip from the conference.

"Your heart is free have the courage to follow it"

those are my thoughts,
