There comes a point, when you hear something and your spirit shivers and you can only cry with God goodness in your heart.
This morning, at 2am, God woke me to a dream. A dream I had not had in over a year. It was my husband and I, and we had these 2 beautiful daughters (twin girls). When I woke up I asked God why I was awake, and I didn’t hear anything. So I closed my eyes and went back to sleep, only to repeat that dream. That went on several times, until it was 6am. That was when I decided to wake up and start to get ready for church. This dream was so vivid though, that it was on my mind and heart the entire time I got ready, as well as the drive to church. I honestly felt like I was in a haze, or a daydream. My mind just wasn’t with me.
Well, then I get to church and I listen to the word released over the house. When the first words out of the Pastor during first service is “Abraham and Sarah were given a promise”, my spirit jumped. I listened as he talked about how they had to make something happen. They had to invest in the promise, for the promise to come. Then, I lingered for second service, and I listen to this amazing woman of God, Lisa Hicks, talk about how this is the year of the Vav, and that it’s the year of promises fulfilled.
I have had this dream, where my husband and I attend a service and we are asked to come up on stage and share a testimony. We share how I have had my tubes tied and uterus operated on, so that I was “medically” unable to have children. How it was 6 years ago that this happened (which it was August 2010 that it happened) and that God had promised us double for trouble. A double portion would be released over our house, just as it was with Job when he lost everything. That we would be restored and given a child, just as Abraham and Sarah were promised. Then we begin to tell about how on the Friday before service, we were given news. That our God had showed up and abundantly blessed us to receive. That we were told, we were pregnant, and when they checked by ultrasound to see if everything was ok, it wasn’t just ok, it was as if nothing had happened. And there, on the screen, was the miracle. Not one, but TWO babies, not one but TWO heartbeats, were found.
Then I wake up as the testimony is finishing. Today, Lisa, shared about the Vav, how it’s the tent peg and numerically represents the number 6. So here I am, after an amazing service, covered in tears and thinking back on the promise that was given to us, over 5 years ago, by this same woman who was preaching. That God was going to put a baby in our arms. That we are in the year of the Vav (number 6) and it’s been almost 6 years since my surgery. That after over a year of not having this dream, God has given it to me not once, not twice, but over 6 times in 1 night.
I am in awe, that God wants me to remember the dreams of my heart and the cries of my heart. That i am supposed to take the promises off the shelf, dust them off and invest in them. That I am not called to give up on them, but to call them out and declare them into my life. That I am supposed to invest in them! I was given promises, it’s the year of those promises being fulfilled!!!
