YOU ARE PREGNANT WITH IDEAS AND SKILLS NO ONE HAS.

Nothing happens unless first we dream.- Dreams are the touchstones of our character.You have to PUSH through travailing prayer.

In life, many thoughts are born in the course of a moment, an hour, a day. Some are dreams, some visions. Often, we are unable to distinguish between them. To some, they are the same; however, not all dreams are visions. Much energy is lost in fanciful dreams that never bear fruit. But visions are messages from the Great Spirit, each for a different purpose in life. Consequently, one person's vision may not be that of another. ( Habakkuk 2:2) And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

To have a vision, one must be prepared to receive it, and when it comes, to accept it. Thus when these inner urges become reality, only then can visions be fulfilled. The spiritual side of life knows everyone's heart and who to trust. How could a vision ever be given to someone to harbor if that person could not be trusted to carry it out. The message is simple: commitment precedes vision.

I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams.... without darkness Nothing comes to birth, As without light Nothing flowers.

PUSHING TO BREAKTHROUGH.

And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. (Isaiah 37:3)

When pregnant woman are told by their doctor you are in nine centimeters dilated and in a few minutes, it would be time to push. I waited for about fifteen minutes and I got the urge to push. Three ten-second pushes and there was little baby( Dream and Vision ) is birthed.Our push is travailing in prayer the less you push the more risky the baby is,so be on the safe side of prayer.

We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth.

"Hezekiah says, 'This is a black day. We're in crisis. We're like pregnant women without even the strength to have a baby!I encourage you to stand strong and be courageous for your dreams and visions shall birth-forth. Take care, your worship, those things over there are not giants but windmills.

HEZEKIAH: PRAYERS TO GOD OF HEAVEN.

Then Hezekiah prayed to God: "God-of-the-Angel-Armies, enthroned over the cherubim-angels, you are God, the only God there is, God of all kingdoms on earth. You made heaven and earth. Listen, O God, and hear. Look, O God, and see. Mark all these words of Sennacherib that he sent to mock the living God. It's quite true, O God, that the kings of Assyria have devastated all the nations and their lands. They've thrown their gods into the trash and burned them—no great achievement since they were no-gods anyway, gods made in workshops, carved from wood and chiseled from rock. An end to the no-gods! But now step in, O God, our God. Save us from him. Let all the kingdoms of earth know that you and you alone are God."

GOD'S ANSWER TO KING HEZEKIAH.

Finally, this is God's verdict on the king of Assyria:

"'Don't worry, he won't enter this city,won't let loose a single arrow, Won't brandish so much as one shield, let alone build a siege ramp against it. He'll go back the same way he came.He won't set a foot in this city.God's Decree. I've got my hand on this city to save it, Save it for my very own sake,but also for the sake of my David dynasty.'"

When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality.

Avoiding Titanic recipe in Dating (How to Get Him to Fall in Love with You.).

Rori Raye Dating Advice How to Get Him to Fall in Love with You
If you've been struggling to get the man you're with to fully BE in the relationship with you - to commit his heart and his mind to you - to fall "IN love" with you and not just "love you," then you know men don't "work" the same way we women do.

You know there's got to be some way to make this kind of love happen for you, but you just haven't found it yet.

And you know for sure that what you've been doing - in fact, what you've always done (and most all of us woman have always done) - doesn't work.

If you're feeling stuck like this, you're not alone.

I was there most of my life.

I'd get involved with one man way too quickly, give him my whole heart - even if he said he wasn't ready for a relationship or wasn't in love with me - and then break my own heart.

While I was writing this letter to you, I found myself going back over my whole history of my love life. Old feelings came back to me, and memories I didn't know I had.

Along with the horrible memories of Imaginary Relationships there were memories of some men who'd loved me, but who I hadn't loved. There were memories of a man I thought I'd lost because of the mistakes I was making, but in the memory, just being with him feels bad.

I'm so glad I took a moment to look back at this, because it really comes down to what I teach - that you can use everything that's ever happened to you to QUICKLY get the man and the relationship you really want.

It's as though everything else was a warm-up to my husband.

I realize now how scared I was of the "Real Thing." And how long I pushed it away.

If you're like I was, you think that being "cool" and "helpful" and "nice" and even "understanding" is the way to a man's heart. And, If you're like I was, and so many of my clients are, you've worked hard to ACT "cool" and "helpful" and "nice" and "understanding" - and even "sexy," and just been shocked when, not only does that NOT make your man come closer - it seems to create even MORE distance between you.

And then - you get angry. Angry and resentful and tense.

And we all know what happens then.

We start to feel totally unappreciated, and we tell him so. We start asking for the "basics" that we should always be getting from a man - affection, attention, great sex, fun, and we start feeling hurt and telling him he's hurting us. Every time we just try to "express" ourselves and tell him what's wrong in the relationship and how it could be so much better - an argument starts. Pretty soon every conversation ends in angry words, and pretty soon conversation stops - because no one wants to fight, and yet - there's a fight about everything.

Sometimes we get so frustrated we want to leave, but most of the time we get so frustrated we just want to shake him. When this goes on for awhile, we can get discouraged. We decide to work even harder at the relationship, and then what happens?

It all gets worse.

Or we give up.

Well, I won't let you give up. And you don't have to.

There's a way to undo all the damage that's happened and a way to make sure the painful patterns of anger and frustration never even get started.

If you want to take the next step in understanding how to avoid all of these traps, find your inner confidence and either set the relationship you have right again or start off a new relationship in a foolproof new way.

Most of us think a relationship is about emotions, and we're right about that - but we ususally end up focusing on the WRONG emotions - his. So many of us get caught up in trying to make something happen on HIS END of the relationship - and that's when we lose everything.

The moment we start trying to manipulate him, or use strategy or play games to "get" him, or cover over our real selves in order to "please" him, we kill the love that's already there, and cut ourselves off from love in the future.

The moment we focus on HIM, instead of on ourselves, we lose ground.

But doing the opposite seems impossible. It seems hard. It seems way too scary - like letting go of the wheel of a car, or letting go of the rails when you're up high or moving fast. And sometimes it feels impossible because we've never ever seen any other woman DO IT - and we have no clues about how to do it for ourselves.

So, how does a man fall in love?

And what does he love about you?

Well, first of all, if he's dating you, he's interested in you. So many of us feel so bad about ourselves we feel honored just to be asked out - and that's not the way it is. He's asking you out because he's attracted to you, he's interested in you, and he wants to spend time with you.

But here's a good question - does he have a checklist of his own for falling in love?

You know - the woman he falls for has to look a certain way, act a certain way, do certain things, have a certain background or certain skills?

And the answer is - sure he has a checklist - going in. That means, he thinks he has a "type" and he thinks he knows what he wants. But all that goes out the window when he sees you.

Attraction has nothing to do with a checklist.

And I'm not talking about sexual attraction (which is something most men can feel for almost any woman). I'm talking about EMOTIONAL attraction.

Emotional Attraction, for a man, can happen instantly. And that's what you want to invite him to do - be instantly emotionally attracted to you.

And that attraction will only GROW with time, as you allow him to see more and more of you by expressing your feelings in a way he can truly, deeply connect with, and let yourself be vulnerable in his presence.

The one thing I'd always done, and the thing that absolutely stops emotional attraction cold and starts resentment and fighting is PRETENDING.

And most of us are so afraid of "rocking the boat" or "looking bad" or "being weak" that we pretend to be strong and end up closing ourselves off from our men.

And instead of our feelings coming out all soft and true and clear and authenic and emotionally appealing - they way they REALLY ARE - they come out all spiky and angry and forward leaning. They come out as complaining and demanding and attacking.

And if we DON'T let them out that way, then we hold them in so long we either explode one day and destroy everything, or we get sick inside.

I don't want you to have to go through any of that.

I want you to know what it took me so long to learn. How to let your feelings out without pushing a man away. How to use everything you've ever experienced, even the painful things, to bring him close. How to just BE with a man so he'll feel helplessly, deeply, emotionally attracted to you, fall for you, and work hard to keep YOU.

That's the way it happens for a man, and it's my mission to help you have that experience, right now.

The thing is, if you THINK you're expressing yourself now, but he isn't falling, chances are you're doing it the old way - the way that doesn't work. If you're feeling angry and resentful and thinking it's HIS FAULT, then chances are that the way you're looking at this is a big part of the problem. It's likely that the way you're looking at it is actually both CAUSING you to be upset, and causing HIM to upset you in the first place.

If you're tired of doing things the same way and getting the same results, then you may be ready to take a new step in a different direction.

Instead of going down the road that leads to the same old places and same old romance dead- ends, you can undo the damage and quickly learn to do what actually WORKS so a man won't be able to help himself - he'll just fall in love with you.

You can change your love life from a string of Imaginary, painful relationships into the one relationship you really want. The one that will last you your whole life long.

Love, Rori

The Lost Art of Praying Together.

Does praying in front of others terrify you?



Jesus promised that "where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I with them" (Matthew 18:20). Praying together is an opportunity to enter into the presence of God in a unique and powerful way. But for many, praying together has become a lost art.

The Lost Art of Praying Together: Rekindling Passion for Prayer, author James Banks reminds us that God responds when His people unite their voices in prayer. Rediscover the power and rewards of joining together in prayer. Make united prayer a priority—in your church, your family, and wherever God's people are gathered together.

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE :THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION.

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION

The most important question that confronts every man living on this earth is: "Where will I spend my eternity?" The thing that is clear to every one is that man's life on earth, no matter how much prolonged, is short and full of labors, dangers, disasters, adversities, sorrows, fears, and tears.

But all those do not compare neither with the measure nor with the extent of the eternal sufferings that will inflict every sinful man in the fire of hell. When it becomes clear to us that this life is short and that eternity is endless, then we give eternity the priority it deserves in our life.

Thanks, Dad.

We exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children. —1 Thess. 2:11



In the US, more long distance calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day. But on Father’s Day, the most collect calls are made. It seems that children still depend on their fathers to provide, even when they are far away from home.

Fathers are needed and wanted for much more than financial help. While 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12 is primarily directed toward church leaders, Paul talks about how their role is similar to a father’s. He states: “You know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children.”

Exhorted is “to call near.” It is easy for fathers to think that all that’s required of them is to bring home a paycheck. But children need their close encouragement.

The word comforted is “to console.” Nothing is more valuable to a child than the time given by a father to listen and talk. Without constant relating, relationships turn cold.

Charged is “to affirm.” Fathers challenge their children by affirming the truth of God’s Word as they live it out in front of them. And even in failings, they affirm what is right through the asking of forgiveness.

How thankful we can be for fathers who help their children “walk worthy of God” (v.12).

We’re thankful for our fathers, Lord,
They’re special gifts from You;
Help us to show we honor them
By what we say and do. —Sper

Good fathers reflect the heavenly Father.

A New Normal.

Just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. —Romans 6:4

After my doctor announced that I had cancer, I tried to listen to what he said, but I couldn’t. I went home, pulled a blanket over my head, and fell asleep on the couch, as if sleeping could change the diagnosis.

When I finally gained enough strength to tell my loved ones, my friend Judy Schreur said something especially memorable. After expressing her sympathy, she said, “This is what will happen. You will feel really bad for 3 days. Then you will get up, figure out what you have to do, and get on with your life.” Then she added, “I think it has to do with death, burial, and resurrection.”

At the time, I didn’t believe it. I was sure that life as I knew it was over. Nothing would ever be the same. I couldn’t imagine feeling normal again. But she was right. Three days later I woke up and realized I didn’t feel quite so bad. And little by little, despite the physical misery of chemotherapy treatments, my emotional and spiritual condition improved significantly. I “died” to my old reality and was “raised” to a new normal.

Thankfully, God is in the business of resurrection. For those who have died in Christ, the death of one reality means resurrection to a new, glorious normal so that we can “walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:4).

Jesus redeemed us and died in our stead;
In Him we died and rose from the dead.
No longer is death a thing that we dread;
The old is behind us, the new is ahead. —D. De Haan

To be “in Christ” is to share in His life, in His death, and in His resurrection.
