_  --Bishop Gerald Doggett

God respects dreamers. That may surprise you, but Abraham dreamed about stars and sand by the sea. Joseph dreamed about wheat and stars. Notice both saw something of the earth and something of the heavens. That tells me your dreams will have an earthly side as well as a heavenly side. Someone once said, “It is never easy to keep reaching for dreams. Strength and courage can sometimes be lonely friends.” Let me encourage you to fight off the feeling of isolation, realize there are unseen forces from heaven walking with you on this journey. You are never alone!

 During this Christmas Season, keep dreaming, keep reaching, and keep moving forward. Those in God’s Word that reached for the destiny prepared for them achieved their dream and much more. It’s the season we celebrate the entrance of Jesus into this world. Never forget, Jesus can enter any circumstance, manifest any dream, and fulfill any promise you’ve been carrying for a long time. Refuse to let go of your dream. Your faith is working, even while you are asleep, creating your dream. It’s your faith that’s reaching, and carrying the message, “I am REACHING FOR MY MIRACLE!”

How will I know when I’m minutes from my miracle? What are some of the signs?  Can I do anything to assist the birthing of my miracle? All these questions are valid when miracles seem difficult to experience. Discipline is necessary to facilitate the arrival of most miracles. Be encouraged as we cover a few of these disciplines. 

·       I need to put a name on my desired miracle. This discipline will establish the point of contact. Many people don’t like where they are, but they have not yet decided where they want to be.

·       It is always necessary to confirm scriptural grounds for your miracle. Find scripture in the Word of God and stand on the promise. Make it part of your vocabulary each day.

·       Remember to ask for your miracle.  Make a demand on the ability of God.  Jesus once said that someone had touched him.  That woman made a demand on His ability.  Others touched Him and made no such demand.

·       Miracles are for the persistent, not the wisher.  Stay encouraged, you could be minutes from your miracle!
