Command Your Dreams

I recently watched the movie, "The Dolphin - The Story of a Dreamer". This movie was inspirational and confirmed everything in this season of my life. I have seen how people's dreams are suppressed, killed or simply snatched from them. We all know about the "glass ceiling" concept that is based on attitudinal or organizational bias in the work force to prevent minorities and women from advancing to leadership positions. Well, I want to inform you that there are also celestial barriers that are emotionally, spiritually and physically setup to bind or hinder the prayers, blessings and dreams of individuals. This movie may be animated, but it is a real depiction of what happens in life. More specifically, it happens in the body of Christ.

It's about sea creatures who live in a world where dreams are forbidden. The rules prevent them from leaving the lagoon and experiencing life beyond what is familiar. All they know is their comfort zone and those who have been in the same comfort zone. However, there is one who dares to forsake the rules that hold him bound. His name is Daniel Alexander Dolphin and he inspired this personal poem. I pray that it encourages you to dream. However, my greatest prayer for you is that you will be able to see and identify those individuals or factors that prevent you from dreaming.

Daniel Alexander Dolphin was a dreamer; yet, he had to push past the negativity of his own circle of influence and the voices that sought to prophesy falsely concerning his destiny. He had to push past the threat of never being welcomed back to his place of familiarity for jumping the lagoon. He had to push past the fear of surfing the perfect wave! Watch the movie and have the determination to not allow your dreams to die. Don't allow the enemy to deceive you. There are real complications that can surround your purpose and your destiny and they come in the form of spiritual abortions and spiritual miscarriages.
