Isaiah 43:16-19
The Resurrection Body
35 But someone may ask, “How will the dead be raised? What kind of bodies will they have?” 36 What a foolish question! When you put a seed into the ground, it doesn’t grow into a plant unless it dies first. 37 And what you put in the ground is not the plant that will grow, but only a bare seed of wheat or whatever you are planting. 38 Then God gives it the new body he wants it to have. A different plant grows from each kind of seed. 39 Similarly there are different kinds of flesh—one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.
40 There are also bodies in the heavens and bodies on the earth. The glory of the heavenly bodies is different from the glory of the earthly bodies. 41 The sun has one kind of glory, while the moon and stars each have another kind. And even the stars differ from each other in their glory.
42 It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. 43 Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. 44 They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies.
Why do we sometimes struggle with unfulfilled dreams? Maybe we need to die to something. It might mean a change of heart, a new mindset before we're geared and equipped to be ready to step into the fulfillment of a dream/calling.
Likewise when God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, they needed to "re-wire" their thinking/attitude before they could step into the chosen land (dream.) Unless you are ready, you cannot enter into it. Which is why God allows our dreams to die so that we can get back to the basics and work on what's missing.

God I can't live without you
For every breathe that I have taken, it comes from You and You alone.
I long to be in Your love's embrace.
As you hold me and secure me in Your innermost sanctuary.
I just can't live this life without You.
Not ever again do I want to be separated away from You.
Hold me close, so close till I can hear every breathe that You take.
With every beat of your heart, let that be mine.

Praise Be to God
Works in progress, everywhere where I can lay my eyes on, I see the beauty of God in it!
And the church is like a tree.
The stem says to the leaf,"Why ain't you working? I am transporting water here."
The leaf replies,"Why ain't you working? I am creating food through photosynthesis."
The root asks the flowers,"Why ain't you working? I am absorbing water here."
The flower replies to the root,"Why ain't you working? I am attracting the bees for pollination."
Every part has its own function to fulfill and that is their role to play!

Whatever that has happened in the OT is a repetition in the NT except that the mediums of communication have changed but God plans are still intact.
During Moses time, there was no internet! God had to show Himself to him using a burning bush. But now we have the internet, at this age, what was previously impossible is now possible. At the click of the mouse, I'm able to view teachings of Benny Hinn, A.R Bernard etc. But God hasn't changed! He is still the same, telling us who are in darkness to come towards Him! Step into His light! Step into His freedom!
Spiritual Warfare
My dad was involved in an accident while driving the company's vehicle to work.
The reason he gave was because he was sleep having to wake up early to meditate on the Tibetan teachings.
And because previously he already had 12 points deducted, he didn't want the matter to be reported to the police. So the other party demanded $1,200 on the spot.

Forcefield
And I was reaching out, my arms and hands were fully stretched.
Then I told myself, with more faith. So I kept repeating that sentence and something happened.
I started feeling this gentle pressure against my palm. It's so easily missed that if you were to simply reach out into the air, you wouldn't be able to feel it at all... The key to it is sensitivity and gentleness. So I took did it slowly and I could feel the slight pressure with both palms, it was like as though something was resting just on top of my bed an arms length away and it was HUGE. Whenever I push towards it, it was engulfing my hands in such a gentle manner as though someone was holding my hand.
I opened my eyes, but I couldn't see anything... yet I could feel it.
Not knowing what to do, I tried to rebuke "it" in the name of Jesus, but it simply remained there.
So I played with it all the way from 11pm till 1am in the morning.
My mum must have thought I was playing with air.
