I love dreaming God’s dreams, even when they are challenging. It’s even more challenging when God brings correction in a dream or a night vision. While correction is a word and a concept that usually has a negative connotation, the Word teaches that the Lord disciplines those He loves, and prunes us so that we may bear more fruit.
During the night of March 31 I had a dream that was very brief, but very vivid and strong. The wife of a well-known prophetic minister came to me and declared, “Your vision is too small!” When she declared this, I was standing in front of a sign with the name of the church on it – ‘Harvest Fellowship’. When she spoke the word to me, the sign immediately changed to read ‘Global Harvest Church’.
I contacted my friend Ward Coe soon afterwards. Ward and his wife Marcy are very gifted in dream interpretation. He shared the following with me:
“This is a self-condition and prophetic dream. Prophetically, the Lord is releasing new life into you. This is changing your perspective and bringing a whole new identity to you and consequently your church.”
Additionally, Ward felt that the ‘name change’ in the dream further reflected a change in our identity and spiritual DNA because of our recent alignment as a ministry with Global Awakening.
All of this challenges me to continue to ask the Lord to expand my vision and perspective so that they align with His. My constant prayer is that I pursue the Father’s heart and His agenda. May He further give us all a “Global” impartation to propel us into a place of greater fruit and effectiveness!
