Holy Spirit Helps You Dream

Now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them. Genesis 11:6 (AMPC)

Holy Spirit’s job is to show you things to come. He helps you to dream about your future.

Let’s say you struggle with anger. You’re so disappointed with yourself as a parent because you’ve lost your temper with your kids so many times that now they shrink back from you. You know it’s God’s will for you to have peace and patience, but you just can’t seem to change.

It’s time to take a new approach.

Meditate on Galatians 5:22. This promise tells you that peace, long-suffering and patience are fruits of the Spirit. Really think about the fact that these are yours. Remind yourself that the ability to be patient and to have peace are not functions of your rational mind. They come from God. It’s by His grace that you have the power to be patient. His grace gives you the ability to be at peace even when everything is going wrong.

Let these words change the way you see yourself. Imagine yourself being patient. See yourself calm where you normally wouldn’t be.

This is how powerful change can take place within you—step by step, day by day. It’s not simply by asking God to take away your anger and give you peace. He’s already given you peace and patience and the ability to learn how to walk in them!

Meditate on God’s Word and picture the fulfillment of His promises in your life. This will change the beliefs in your heart, then your emotions and actions will follow. See yourself as the new you—the person Jesus has already made you to be—and nothing you imagine from God’s Word will be impossible for you!
