Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but he who keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man] blessed (happy, fortunate, and enviable) is he. Proverbs 29:18 AMP
On my birthday, in November of 2025, I dreamed that I saw two rainbows that were mostly yellow and gold in color, but each one had a dark burgundy band also. I wasn’t really sure what it meant, but I knew that yellow represented a bright, happy color, like the sun. Gold made me think of what the Bible says about our faith being like gold tried in the fire. I looked up burgundy in my dream dictionary and it said that it is associated with burgundy wine. It represents a rich, full love that has gracefully matured overtime. It also symbolizes success, wealth, profusion, etc. Also, I knew that rainbows are a symbol of God’s promises. I surmised that the Lord was telling me that He would keep His promises to my husband and I but often it is a process, just like wine has to go through a fermenting process over time to be brought to maturity and obtain a rich full-bodied flavor.
As I shared previously, my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in March or April of 2025. We pray and believe the Lord for healing, but one thing I have learned is that the Lord doesn’t do things the same way with everyone. Sometimes He takes us on a journey that requires us to learn a lot and make changes in our lives in order to receive the healing. It has been a topsy-turvy journey, but we have learned a lot of things about cancer, diet, medical treatments, pharmaceutical medications and natural alternatives. And the Lord has given us dreams and revelations to direct us.
Often at the beginning of a trial, the Lord will give us a word, a promise to keep us going through the hard times, something to serve as an anchor for our soul when the winds of adversity, fear, and doubt try to arise. Like Goliath, who taunted David and the rest of the Israelites day and night for 40 days, the enemy will use persistent symptoms, pain and circumstances to try to bring fear, doubt and unbelief into our hearts. That’s when we have to do what David did and start recounting all the times the Lord has been faithful to us and given us victory in the past and what He has promised in His word. One of the scriptures I like is found in Hebrews, chapter 6. It says:
And so it was that he [Abraham], having waited long and endured patiently, realized and obtained [in the birth of Isaac as a pledge of what was to come] what God had promised him. Men indeed swear by a greater [than themselves], and with them in all disputes the oath taken for confirmation is final [ending strife]. Accordingly, God also, in His desire to show more convincingly and beyond doubt to those who were to inherit the promise the unchangeableness of his purpose and plan, intervened (mediated) with an oath. This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us]. Hebrews 6:15-19 AMP
In the Bible, the word hope means a confident expectation. God is faithful to keep His promises when we follow His leading and do what He tells us to do. God bless you all and have a happy new year.
