(3) Dreams And Desires For Gifting And Talents:
The Lord will often
give us dreams (inner desires) about the use of our abilities. However,
we must subject these to the testing and refining of the Lord.
Look at the story
of the
Feeding of the 5000. Imagine that the
five loaves and two fish represent our natural gifting. We are one of the
disciples who has these things in his hands.
The plan Jesus has is to feed the multitudes. However, we must do certain things before this can be fulfilled..
(1) Come to Jesus with the little that we have.
(2) Offer it all up to Him.
(3) Let Him bless it, break it and give it back to you. There must be a process of the breaking of your abilities before you can receive them back to truly be multiplied among the hungry multitudes.
(4) Lastly, we must GO and distribute it to the multitudes.
Write down dreams/desires you have in terms of...
Spiritual Gifts (eg. I dream of being an anointed teacher for God.)
