God and Satan: Dream Snatchers

Goad gives us dreams and plans for what He wants us to do in the future. These can be authentically called prophetic words to us. Satan's job is to come against these dreams and plans, snatching them away before they can be realized. I believe, from my 48 years of observation as a Christian, that if we don't get them back through standing in faith and at times spiritual warfare, those plans will not happen. I do realize that many say that God is going to do it anyway, but that certainly hasn''t been my observation with many Christians. God simply uses someone else to fulfill his plans.

But God is a dream snatcher too. He snatches, or at least tries to snatch if our wills aren't in the way, our dreams and plans that aren't from Him; that is, those from our own flesh. So, we must be alert as to where our dreams and plans come from. If from God, stand firm in them. But if from us with satan's influence, then we must allow God to snatch them away and replace them with His agenda.
