A word I had in Africa in one of the last meetings was "Position Yourselves". And as the people positioned their hearts toward God, He came in all His Glory and it was amazing, setting people free and bringing them into a new place in the Lord, refired for the work of God.
Last night I had a dream and in this dream I saw this professor at work in his office but where he worked, a Bank had built their building right in front of him and once where there was light coming through the windows, there no longer was because the Banks building was in the way. Now he couldn't move the building but he had a choice to make whether to stay in the office now with no light or shift his office in order to have light coming through the window.
I believe what the Lord is saying in this is that we can be busy doing what we are doing and all is good but then things come and get in the way like money as an example which can stop us from seeing and walking in the light taking away our focus from the light because money becomes the focus instead. Whatever it is, there are different things that stop the 'light' from coming into our lives. We need to make a decision to position ourselves to be in a place where we see and walk in the light. We need to sometimes make decisions that may be difficult and quite costly in different ways but in the end is worthwhile because we will then be in a place of walking in the light.
1 John 1:5 God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."
Following on from that dream there was another part I would like to share. I was sitting down talking to people in my home and suddenly I realised the time while talking to them that I had only 10 minutes before I needed to be at a meeting place where we were all going on a bus off to a camp. Time had run away on me and I wasn't ready to be there as I was caught up talking to people. I thought in this dream, its okay the bus will wait for us as I am sure other people will be late as well.
In looking at this I believe what the Lord is saying is be prepared. The end is near and we cannot be found not prepared and ready to go when the time comes or we will miss out. We cannot be found just talking about things with people and not doing what we need to do, making excuses as to why we are not ready because of someone else. It's our responsibility to be ready at the appointed time and not blame others for not being ready.
Matthew 25:1-13 The Parable of the Ten Virgins - v13 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."
One last part I want to share of my dreams last night was I was walking to the bus stop and my feet were getting tired as I was wearing high healed shoes and they were not good for walking in long distance but then a friend came along and held my hand and helped me walk the rest of the way.
I believe what the Lord is saying is that sometimes on the journey we get tired, our feet get sore and sometimes we feel discouraged, but he will send people to help us along the way to keep us heading in the right direction, people that can take our hand in love and gentleness and lead us on and we need to take the hand that is offered.
Luke 24:13-30 The Road to Emmaus v15 ...As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them, but they were kept from recognizing him.....
So to sum up :

So to sum up :
- Position yourselves so that you are people who walk in the light, no matter if it costs you a lot, it will be worth it.
- Be ready the end is near - don't blame others for your not being prepared.
- The Lord will send people to help us along the way - take the help, don't be so proud that you think you can do it on your own, we need each other.
