Proof of God

I am praying for you too Mia. This quote spoke to me b/c I too I'm looking to make a career change and it seems God is opening the doors. I thought the same thing, it seems like God is walking me through it, I feel peace, love and acceptance. I thought the same thing you did about it "doesn't mean it's instantly successful" that same HOUR, I was listening to Joyce Meyers and she paraphase that verse, you have not because you ask not....so I asked God for it and now I am taking on your attitude....I need to ask for everything because He has me walking into this!!! I will be praying for you!!! How awesome! Amen, sister! I am praying for you too!

I just gotta say.... I LOVE THIS!

Cholette, As I wrote this I thought to myself that God already showed me that I'm walking in this so should I bother asking for prayer? But then I thought he showed me myself operating a restaurant but that doesn't mean it's successful. THEN, I remembered the verse that says "ye have not because ye ask not." And so, I decided I better ask for everything that I want/need. I also remembered the verse where God said to Jesus, Ask me and I will give you the nations for your inheritance. I mean, if Jesus had to ask then I better ask too! So I'M ASKIN'! FAVOR AND DIVINE HELP, FATHER, PLEASE!

Thank you ladies! Thank you!

Thank you HF! I am in agreement with your prayers too! I pray for JUBILEE for thee! Mia

A couple weeks ago I was telling my pastor about my burger drive-in and how God had been blessing me so incredibly. My pastor started to pray for me about it and then stopped and said, "I heard, There's more coming." I said, "Whoa, wait. What? More what? Good or bad, man. Be specific." More business stuff. Little did he know that I had an appointment to meet with a man, that very afternoon, about another restaurant. A few days before my pastor prayed for me, a man knocked on my door because he heard I was interested in buying a local restaurant. He asked if I was instead interested in buying his local waterfront restaurant. He bought it from the bank and it had been closed a couple years but he just wanted to flip the property. I told him that, actually, I looked at buying it last year but didn't because the price was too high but everytime I drove past there I looked at it longingly because I really wanted to own it. This man offered to sell me this building, with two upstairs apartments (one which was three bedrooms and beau-ti-ful), and a gorgeous waterfront restaurant. The offer he made me was out of this world. The day I was presented with this offer I was like, Okay God. You sure weren't kidding when you said there was more coming but I am not sure if this more is your will or not, and I don't want to get into something you aren't my partner on so could you be more specific. Now, God inspires me with ideas sometimes that may seem unorthodox but I always know it's God. I was sitting on a step at my current restaurant with my barely six year old grandson and I felt inspired to say, "Okay, Lord. Please prophesy to me through my six year old grandson with something so wise that it could have only come from you." I turned to my grandson and said, "Bubbs, say something very wise about the new restaurant." Without a seconds hesitation, he said, "Work hard and do what you do here." (Meaning do what I do at my current restaurant.) K. 'Nuff said. So I accepted the offer. Now. I haven't closed on the mortgage yet but we are moving in, in faith, even though we haven't signed the deed and mortgage, because school starts in September and I don't want to move my grandson part way through the year. The reason for this post: Please pray that God goes before me in everything and that I have divine favor everywhere I go. The bible says: We have not because we ask not. I'm going to make good and sure that scripture does not apply to me. Please feverently bear me up in your prayers and I will happily do the same for you. Love, Mia

My criteria for a church is a place that I feel the Love of God through the people and where I feel God's manifest presence. I expect to leave church with a charge to my spirit that I can only get from the presence of God. Being a Christian is about walking in love and exuding love, no matter what. Doctrine doesn't matter. Walking in love is ALL that matters. If we didn't know any other thing on our religious planet other than how to love one another, we'd be right on target.

We have all made that mistake, Angel. My heart seriously desires a place where people can KNOW for a fact that they are getting the real deal, and not fly by night crackpot interpreters. I'm glad the site has been a blessing. The interpreters here have blessed the socks off of me too, like you wouldn't believe! Learning dreams is definitely trial and error. Just like learning anything is. When learning to walk we fall down a bunch of times before we're good at it. Love, mia

Right!

I did question dreams for a bit when it seemed that I had dreams that weren't accurate but it turned out that they just happened after the opposite of the dream happened. For instance, I had a dream that I saw Desiree with a HUGE stack of books and I heard the Lord say "provision". This happened about a month before the fall semester. Desiree was needing funding for school. Well, the school semester came and went and she didn't get it. I thought, "Well, that was completely wrong." BUT......... The next year she got a scholarship to the tune of like $20,000. HUGE stack of books. I've learned that prohpetic dreams are because you'll need a Word from the Lord to hang onto when it looks like it's not gonna happen. Love, Mia

Praise GOD!

“But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day.” Habakkuk 2:3 (TLB)

YAY!!!! Praise God! One step at a time!

lol Isn't that a crying shame!

Cholette, I am SO glad that this is home for other people like me, like you. I so totally know what it is like to feel all alone in this with nobody to understand us. Love, mia

I didn't read all of the replies, just your original post. I wanted to reply to the part about when you are talking to people about things that they don't want to hear/believe, etc. One day I started to tell someone about a dream that I had and I heard the Holy Spirit say, Cast not thy pearls before swine. Just prior to this I had asked God what that scripture meant. This was his answer. The pearl was my dream. The swine was the person that I was about to tell. The scripture goes on to say, lest they turn and rend (hurt) you and trample your pearls under foot. I've learned that I can't share spiritual things willy nilly. I need to be led of the spirit or it usually ends in frustration and disaster. That was one of the reasons that I created the dream groups and forums. Because people like me, who have this spiritual stuff happening in their lives, and have nobody close to them to share it with, get frustrated and feel cut off and suffocated because they have all of this in them that they can't get out. So, if it helps, come talk to all of us about the stuff that you are getting rebuked about from others. Love, Mia

Praise God. I am so glad that He met your needs. I live for moments like that from the Lord where I hear just exactly what I needed and I know it's from Him. You know, Nubava, the best prayer, in my opinion is: Lord, Help! Love, Mia

I'm praying for you too!
