Is it a fantasy, or is it real!

Without the element of faith, a dream remains the creation of the human mind – a fantasy. Many people, enamored with a dream, chase it, hoping it will come true. But the Bible says, “ He who works his land will have abundant food but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty” (Proverbs 28:19). Fantasies never materialize because they inherently lack the faith necessary to mobilize one to work effectively, whereas the faith required to create a real vision inspires the visionary and those around him to put their best effort forward. Let me be clear. We are not the creators of vision but rather the caretakers. True vision, comes from God.   – Michael Fletcher

Proverbs 29:18 (TPT) When there is no clear prophetic vision, people quickly wander astray. But when you follow the revelation of the word, heaven’s bliss fills your soul.

This is sweet and healing like honey!

We have heard that there is power in our words. Well, we can actually promote healing to the body and spirit, and release sweetness to our souls. Proverbs 16:24 (TPT) “Nothing is more appealing than speaking beautiful, life-giving words. For they release sweetness to our souls and inner healing to our spirits”. The Amplified Bible states it this way: “Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweet and delightful to the soul and healing to the body.” We know that honey is a superfood. It is also a healing and anti-bacterial in nature. The Proverbist compared pleasant words to honey. Did you know this? This is vital because we have access to family, friends, neighbors and co-laborers. We can choose to be healers by disciplining the words we speak so that others will hear words of life and healing. Let your words release grace, love and pleasant, life-giving words in your sphere of influence. Remember: Jesus said: I came to give life, and life in abundance. Be an extension of His love. This generation desperately needs this!
