How To Get Past The Static To Go Forward In Your Dreams-Episode 105 On The Kingdom Mentor Podcast
How do you get past the static to go forward in what you know is in heart to be, to do, to walk in for this new year.?
Static? What do I mean by that.
Well the other night by the end of the day I felt it. It was like this strange feeling, like impending doom, or a lost dream or….
You fill in the blank.
Maybe I was simply tired or hungry. I do admit it was better after Dave saying he won’t cook tonight and we could get some hot pizza for dinner. After the great meal I put on my favorite sweat top and my pink jammie bottoms and I felt much better.
But later the next day I thought of it like this.
Think of this dust ball the enemy kicks up right in front of your face so your vision gets blurred and all you see is this gray powder in front of you….
Static:
The debris of doubt.
The particles of panic—fear!
The sand of severe loss.
The grit of grueling pain.
The fragments of faith lost.
I got this word picture a few years ago as I was in the midst of a “thud” that seemed to want to put me in the corner of my dreams left with gashes and bruises from a fight.
God said…“Theresa…that’s just the enemy kicking his heels up trying to fill the atmosphere in front of you with granules of filth accompanied by the foul smell of fear.”
Holy Spirit continued…“Just look around these things…look around and watch your blinded eyes become clear to the truth of who I say you are and what purpose I have called you to.”
Well, I went into this year supercharged with the theme “God Has Turned The Tide ..This Is The Year For Dreams To Come True” with your purpose and destiny.
Now, I will freely admit I have experience some static since the beginning of the year. Pain took on a new name as I fell face first half way down my stairs. Nothing was broken. All I could do for the first two weeks is thank God that NOTHING was broken.
I experienced trauma in the pain but was determined to not let it become drama seeping into my mind, will or emotions. This was more painful than bringing to birth two brilliant kids mind you. (Either that or I’m just a baby and needed an epidural).
The pain did not knock me out from going forward. I had a few friends who prayed, asked God for help and learned the power of worship that kept my hope. The exciting thing for me to experience was even amidst the nagging aches and pains, my drive, mind, will and emotions stayed inspired and thrilled in my dreaming with God for the year ahead. 
So, have you come up against such static to seem to cloud your vision to what you know God has called you to for the days and months ahead. It’s like you know you have this Kingdom assignment with all the confirmations and declarations lining up….But…the static.
Doggone it…the dang static.
Have you forgotten that Jesus is still asking you “What can I do for you”, like He said to the blind man who wanted to see.
The blind man sought Jesus out because of Jesus reputation in the testimonies of healing and hope.
Look at this in the Word…Mark 8:22.
“When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and they begged him to touch the man and heal him. “Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then, spitting on the man’s eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked, “Can you see anything now?”
“The man looked around. ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘I see people, but I can’t see them very clearly. They look like trees walking around.’
“Then Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes again, and his eyes were opened. His sight was completely restored, and he could see everything clearly.”
Do you see this? This man had the faith to say…”Hey..So…Ugh……like Jesus…I can’t see real clear still”
He did not fake the reality that he couldn’t see the people around him very clearly and he was not afraid to tell Jesus this.
So…how do you get past your static.
I think if you haven’t already, boldly answer the question Jesus, who has the reputation and authority in love to answer you.
“What can I do for you?” He asks!
I believe there is a simple three step process that has everything to do with the three pillars of finding your voice, walking in you identity to answer this question with faith HE WILL answer.
- Consistently spend time with Him…FaceTime with Jesus. There is no Hebrew Word for presence…I find that interesting…and makes me think have some FaceTime —by entering His Presence boldly by faith.
- Communicate. Remember…He’s asking you, Jesus is asking you: What can I do for you” Answer. Keep it between you and Him if it involves a dream…Dream big…so big that you will have to need His help.
- Connections…Find those who are quick to wipe away any dirt and call out the gold in people. Friends you can trust who will celebrate who you are becoming, not tolerate who they think you have be. Pray Psalm 15 in the Passion and ask God to bring these kind of friends to you in person…Or you can be like me and discover them online through DM’s (direct messages on Instagram), develop a real relationship and go from DM’s To Facetime calls to your Front Door.

When any static wants to knock you down..you have the privilege to hide and let Jesus confide His “Whispers in the night” as it says in ..
“The way you counsel and correct me makes me praise
you more,for your whispers in the night give me wisdom,showing me what to do next. “Psalm 16:7 tpt
