Prophetic Directive - Goodness of God

I had a series of short dreams last night about the GOODNESS OF GOD. I woke up in tears, feeling His Presence so near and tangible.

I believe that the truth of His GOODNESS, in all its purity and power, has come under attack in recent days. Even Christians are struggling right now to see and to believe that He is GOOD and that He is ever faithful to His Word.

O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! - Psalm 34:8

In the first dream, I needed drinking glasses for my home. I saw some specific ones that I REALLY liked, but they were too pricey. Later when I went to my cupboard, the very glasses I wanted were there! My husband (in the dream) said, “They are a gift from The Father.”

I remember thinking in the dream, “Wow, He loves me soooo much to get me the very drinking glasses that my heart desired!” I even thought to myself in the dream, “Mandy, this is an important dream!” As the day went by in my dream, it was as if I had forgotten what good and kind thing the Father had done for me.  I found that I had to peel a layer of doubt off of my eyes before the dream ended.

In the second dream, I had to go quickly to an event that I didn’t know how I’d get to. I could have been late, but my “Dad” gave me his brand new, gleaming white pickup truck to drive. It had a never-ending supply of fuel and a large bouquet of beautiful flowers (my favourites) on the front seat, just for me! I quickly got into the truck with a big smile on my face and drove off at super speed toward my event.

As the dream was ending, I found myself at a gas station trying to put fuel into an already full tank, as if I had some sort of doubt that He had filled the fuel tank for me. I remember having to REPENT for doubting Him and peel a layer of “doubt” off my eyes before I could begin to drive toward my event.

In the last dream, I never felt my age. I never felt hungry or in need of anything...I just felt joy and satisfaction. I did feel like someone, or something was following me, but who or whatever it was felt pure and clean and full of life and wanted to bless me.

At the end of the third dream, I spoke to a friend from my Church who was struggling to see herself as young enough to fulfill the calling of God on her life (and in the natural, she’s not that old at all!). Both of us had to repent and peel a layer of doubt off of our eyes, and then we were able to step through a veil, like a doorway, into another dimension of God’s goodness and life.

I don’t believe that these dreams are solely for me and what I may be walking through right now. I believe that these dreams are for THE BRIDE.

In each dream, God showed Himself as a GOOD FATHER, and yet in each dream there was a layer of doubt over eyes which called for REPENTANCE.

And at the very end, my friend and I were able to cross a threshold into another dimension of God’s goodness, only AFTER repentance and removing doubt.

The name of the friend in my dream means “God is my oath of abundance.” I believe that this is significant because this is WHO GOD IS. A God of abundant GOODNESS to those who love Him!

“God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?  - Numbers 23:19

I believe the Lord has used the dream to give a bit of direction for those who may be struggling in the area of seeing God as a GOOD FATHER.

1. Repentance is key. Repentance for any area that we may have come into agreement with doubting God’s GOODNESS.

2. Psalm 37:3 talks about feasting on or cultivating His faithfulness. This will help to remove that layer of doubt that so quickly comes over the eyes. Be careful what you feast on, and be sure it’s the GOODNESS of God.

3. I believe that He is calling us to knowing Him again as FATHER. Not just Provider or Saviour or Friend, but FATHER. The hearts of the children MUST turn back to the Father, and He is turned toward the hearts of His children.

   
   

PLEASE HEAR MY WARNING: In the coming days, WE WILL NEED TO BE ABLE TO TRUST GOD AS GOOD. It is imperative that we know Him as a GOOD Father to us, His sons and daughters. We will need to relate to Him as such sooner rather than later.

His goodness is chasing us down...we just need be in a heart position to allow Him to catch us, because we absolutely TRUST HIM.

• If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him! - Matthew 7:11

• Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. - James 1:17

• Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever. - Psalm 23:6
