Product Description
Too often Christians drift from the creativity that is a vital part of everyday living. This can lead to discouragement in the valleys and shortsightedness on the mountaintops. Visionary and prophetic leader Jill Austin invites readers to take a closer look at the promises of destiny. No heart is truly fulfilled until it is awakened to Jesus's love and his call to save the lost. Dancing with Destiny helps readers discover their deepest dreams, follow the Holy Spirit to the heart of Jesus, and move in divine strategies. With inspiring personal examples and unusual insight into the lives of biblical dreamers, lovers, and warriors, Austin shows readers how to use their God-given creativity and authority to move in spiritual power.
From the Inside Flap
EXCERPT FROM CATALOG Everything goes back to identity. You and I are created in the likeness and image of God, who has great imagination. As royal children of the dreamer Father, we belong to a different Kingdom, one that is wild and free. There is something about living in the Spirit that is living in the truest sense. So it is okay for us to hold a picture of what we would like our ministry or business to look like. Actually, I think those pictures really started with God, since He is the source of everything good. If He puts a creative spark within us and also gives us the ability to dream with complete freedom, then He will come alongside us and help us--because that is part of His desire as well. In fact, God always dreams bigger dreams for us than we dream for us. This is why some dreams never seem to come true--not because we should not dream them, but because they are only a small part of the true, bigger dreams that fulfill our longings most completely. I truly believe that this is one of the keys to enduring suffering. What do you do when probably half the Bible is about suffering? You trust Him in the valleys and keep your eyes on the mountaintops. God never abandons us; He only positions us.
