Is this Idolatry? Wanting to play the Piano, then Write, and Dance or Contortion? Would I be making myself into an Idol for this?
Anyways, someone pls let me know, cuase I like to do those things, it's what keeps me from being bored, but sometimes I have a feeling that thease things are of my own plans and not God's, but then again, today I heard that any dream you have is a vision from God and that I should try to make it come true. It was in the Joel O steen book. (I declare) and so does Joyce Meyers, she talks about fallowing your dreams too. But I don't know. I've probably asked this question, but I need more assurance about whether or not it's ok. thanks.
It is a complete lie that every dream is from God because it wouldn't be ourselves coming up with a vision for our life but God alone. Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyers do seem to have a feel good gospel which is real harmful since it paints a false picture of what a Christian life should look like. We will all face struggles and trials.
As for your likes being idols, they are only idols if they come before God. Be sure to have a passion for Jesus Christ and the grace he so freely gives you before anything else in your life. Once you realize the enormity of God's love shown through Christ everything else in your life will just fade away and be secondary hobbies so you will have such a thirst for God that you wouldn't put idols before Him.
God gave you these wonderful talents.. Use them.. But, always make Christ your priority...
I would be very careful at what advice you are taking from joel or joyce.. As far as his advice that a dream is a vision from God.. Think about that.. What about nightmares.. No his advice is almost new wave.. Be careful.. Try listenning to charles stanley and adrian rogers. And john macarthur, and r. C. Sproll senior, and chip ingram. These people are Christ focused.. They are not be the best you that you can be guru's..
I just wanna ask this... If you have a dream that you took an axe and gave your mother 40 wacks.. Would that be a vision from God also.. Think about it.. Joel is all about numbers.. Seeing just how big his self help ministry can get..
