"So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have FAITH AS A MUSTARD SEED, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU." Matthew 17:20 (Emphasis mines)
Last night I had a dream where my son and I was being evicted. In this dream my son was younger. Right before the manager of the apartment complex approached me, I saw this hat that had a unicorn on it with a scripture that said, "CHOSEN".
Matthew 22:14 says, “For many are called, but FEW ARE CHOSEN.” (Emphasis mines)
I knew this hat was there to encourage me. The manager walked up to me with my son in the dream. She said that today was our last day and we had to be out. She sat me down and said two things to me, but I only remember one. The manager said, "Just admit it, you missed God." She felt that I missed God moving there because I had no money, and had not paid my rent. Two people reached out to me in the dream to try and encourage me with their testimonies, but it was not until the Lord quicken me to stand my ground that I felt strengthen. Ephesians 6:14 says, "STAND FIRM then, with the BELT OF TRUTH buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place." (Emphasis mines) I walked over to the manager in the dream and said to her, I need to address the two things you said to me. I said to her, just because I do not have the money right now, does not mean I won't have it later. I said, "I ONLY NEED A MUSTARD SEED OF FAITH." I woke up from the dream. Luke 18:27 says, "Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is POSSIBLE WITH GOD.” (Emphasis mines) Some of you are being built like an ox (unicorn), CHOSEN by God to plow and pioneer your way through the paths that seem impossible with strength that can only come from God. He is positioning you for victory that requires you to believe what others do not. He is calling you up higher to see things from a heavenly perspective, and not a logical one. It is important you live a lifestyle of righteousness before the Lord, as one who has immense strength that comes from Jesus. Psalms 92:10 says, "But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn (ox): I SHALL BE ANOINTED WITH FRESH OIL." (Emphasis mines) The crushing is producing an anointing for the very place you are going. For the very people you are called to. A unicorn translates from the Hebrew word re'em (meaning a wild, one-horned animal), it likely refers to a WILD OX (aurochs), rhinoceros. The term EMPHASIZES IMMENSE STRENGTH and is used to REPRESENT POWER per multiple sources via Google. DON'T ALLOW OTHER PEOPLE'S UNBELIEF CONCERNING YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES TO GET YOU OUT OF STANDING FIRM IN YOUR FAITH CONCERNING WHO YOUR FATHER IS, AND WHAT HE CAN DO. SOME THINGS YOU HAVE TO KEEP TO YOURSELF UNTIL YOU ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE. Open your mouth to decree and declare God's Word over your circumstances. Speak LIFE GIVING words. LIFE AND DEATH IS IN THE POWER OF YOUR TONGUE (Proverbs 18:21). Come into agreement with TRUTH, and not words wrapped in witchcraft. Don't look back, and don't turn back, but look straight ahead. Keeping your eyes on Jesus, the PERFECTER OF YOUR FAITH (Hebrews 12:2)! Be strengthen in TRUTH. THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD! HOLD FAST! ENCOUNTER WITH AN ANGEL: When I first moved to Texas I faced a great deal of spiritual warfare. The enemy wanted me to believe that I had missed God because I had no where to stay with no money. The Lord sent an angel... REAL LIFE ANGEL in human form to encourage me. Hebrews 13:2 says, "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." The homeless man I stopped to help on my way to be with the Lord within the first two to three weeks I was here turned out to be an angel. The Lord later confirmed this two times. (I share in details in a video from June 2025) One of the things the angel said to me was... Whenever you are looking for a miracle to happen, satan tries to get into your head to get you in unbelief. You have to fight back. (Paraphrased) Remember who you are, and who your God is! STAND FIRM IN TRUTH! Psalms 20:2, "May He send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion." #encouragement #inspiration #Jesus #hope #faith
