I am tuned in this morning to "The Gathering 2013". It's streaming LIVE at Creflodollarministries.org We are registered for the week long conference; however were unable to fly down. This streaming option is truly a blessing! Tip: login 30-45 min before each session (10am, 2pm & 7pm EST) for corporate prayer and great pre-service tips and activities.

Who Is Buzzing Around Your Dreams?

Be careful of the company that you keep when you are birthing dreams.  Make sure you are soaring with the eagles rather than circling with buzzards. 

Buzzards… are dream killers, naysayers, the down low haters and Inter-Me…

Your Own Thoughts vs Those of the KING.

Buzzards… who are they?

They are those that used to have hope, but rather let Slothfulness win vs Diligence.

Buzzards… who are they?

They are the crabs in the bucket trying to pull you down with them in their misery. 

FEAR now resides in their hearts where BELIEF used to be. 

These buzzards circulate among eagles in the skies flying low enough to smell the scent of defeat.  

From a distance, their vast wingspan and coloring can deceive you into believing they are eagles…

Yet, as soon as you swoon, they will swoop in and feed on what could’ve been…

And  your dreams will look as if they had been just memories.

So … be careful of the company you keep when you are birthing dreams.
