Okay everyone, it's time to do an assessment. Let's take a look at our dreams, goals, and the desires of our hearts and see where we are with them. Let's assess how many have manifested, how many are in the process, and how many we've basically given up on, or are on the verge of giving up on.
One of the most effective tools the enemy uses against us to paralyze the move of God in our lives is fear. God knew the enemy would try this which is why God mentions 144 times in the Scriptures to "FEAR NOT!" Fear cancels our faith. Fear gets us over into doubt and unbelief - the place where God is unable to do miracles. Fear strips us of power. FEAR IS DEATH!
The only way to counteract fear is to build up our faith. The only way to build up our faith is to study and hear the Scriptures more. The only way to study and hear the Scriptures more is to be diligent and consistent. The only way to be diligent and consistent is to spend more time in fellowship with God. The only way to spend more time in fellowship with God is to make the decision to DO IT. The only way to make the decision to do it is to STIR OURSELVES UP in the Holy Spirit. King David had to do it all the time. The Apostle Paul instructs Timothy to do it: "I remind and encourage you to STIR UP THE GIFT that is within you by laying on of my hands, for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of POWER, of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND." 2 Timothy 1:6,7 NKJV.
So, what about those dreams, goals and desires of your heart? STIR IT UP and GO FOR IT in Jesus' name!

A good part of my ministry is to keep fighting for full sacramental and civil rights for LGBT people. That's a major desire of my heart.
