Dreams have consequences. You must remain faithful to preserving the dream, beyond the pressure of compromise. I give dreams as previews of what is to come, what to hope and what to believe in opposition to your circumstances.
Dreams have costs and it is non negotiable, it may be time, effort, energy, status and even the misconception of who you are. The dream is a pressure designed to magnify your inner man, that you may confront any opposition inside, that is hostile to the dream.
Embrace the dream. The dream and dreamer become one in the same. Remain holy in handling, what I have given you. Every thought, every idea, every imagination, every consideration is precious and must be regarded as fine jewels.
There is a duty to the dream. The dream is yours in name only, you are a gatekeeper, a steward. The dream is designed to be breath, light and life to others. Hold it as carefully, as you would hold life, because the dream is life.
Genesis 37:5-11
Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more. He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had: We were binding sheaves of grain in the field, and suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to mine.” “Do you intend to reign over us?” his brothers asked. “Will you actually rule us?” So they hated him even more because of his dream and his statements. Then Joseph had another dream and told it to his brothers. “Look,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” He told his father and brothers, but his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream that you have had? Will your mother and brothers and I actually come and bow down to the ground before you?” And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what he had said.
