Achieving

Our

God-Given

Dreams

By Rochelle Moyd

Happy Miraculous Monday, November 19!

God created us to fulfill a specific purpose in life, and it is up us to take the necessary steps to find our purpose and walk in it. One of the greatest gifts in life is the ability to see beyond our present state - to dream!

God placed visions and dreams in our hearts to show us a preview of our destiny. If we enter into our future without first seeing the vision, we will not recognize it when it is placed in front of us. Before destiny is achieved we must see the vision, and make the decision to walk in it, then God will prepare us, build us up, and equip us with the tools we need to make our dreams a reality.

But the fact of the matter is that once we've made the decision to submit our will to Gods will, there are going to be tests and trials that we will have to endure in order to get to the place God needs us to be.

Tests and trials, while we are going through them, may seem never-ending, and often times impossible to overcome, but they are necessary because they allow God to strengthen areas in our lives that are weak. It is very vital that through our journey of preparation, we study the Word, and heed the voice of the Lord so that He can lead us to our destiny, because the enemy will come in and try to steal the dream that God has placed on the inside of us and replace it with false illusions, which then, will make our God-given dream distorted.

If we are going to fulfill our destiny in God and see our dreams birthed, we are going to have to do it His way and on His timetable. God knows when it is the right time for us to move forward, and He knows when we are ready.

Finding God's will is a continuous activity that will be a part of our lives until we go to heaven, but these four things will help us as we seek His will for our life: Pray, Believe, Persevere & Watch while our dreams manifest.

Ask Yourself:

Ų What are the God-given dreams the Lord has placed on the inside of me?

Ų Am I willing to take the necessary steps to birth this dream?

Ų How will I combat and stand against the enemy's efforts to steal, kill and destroy my God-given dream?

Ų What will become of my dreams?

And finally:

Ų Write down 5 goals that will push you closer to your destiny

About the magazine:

Exodus Magazine is an Urban Christian Magazine designed to give youth/young adults, ages 15-25 a Christian alternative that will be on their level. This is their way of giving the Word of God to the youth/young adults in a way that will successfully reach them. Exodus Magazine was founded in June 2007 by Joel Maldonado and Rochelle Moyd. Just as God called Moses to bring the Israelites out of bondage & into the promise land, they believe that God has called them to help bring youth and young adults out of the bondage of this world and into the promise land, that being, life more abundantly.

Foundational Scripture: Exodus 3:17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto---a land flowing with milk and honey. This scripture defines their motives and their vision, to use the magazine to show the readers how Jesus manifests His glory to bring people out of spiritual bondage and into an abundant life.
