God has a Master Plan over each and every one of our lives... AND we have a choice and a responsibility to walk with Him and walk out His plans. This word by Barbie Breathitt has some excellent insight on how God reveals His master plans to us and what we can do to see them come to pass.

God's Master Plan For Your Life
Often we do not understand the masterful plan God has or comprehend what God is working on our behalf because His ways are so much higher than our ways. Have faith, hold on, look up, press on, trust in and yield to God's handiwork, and let God finish that good work which He has begun in you.
Open your fist, stop fighting the process, open your heart to receive His love, for God is doing you good, not evil. He desires to give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that He is the Lord and that He has called you by a new name.
How Do You See Yourself?
When we come into agreement with the dreams God has created for us, we are propelled into the position we were destined to fill. No one else on earth can live the dream God has inspired for you. Trusting in God ensures we will reach our destiny on time.
How do you see yourself? How do others view you? Do you know the thoughts that God has toward you? Did you know that God is always thinking positive thoughts about you? God desires to fulfill His divine promises to you. God is always strategically aligning us for success.
In order to do this, sometimes God has to bring us full circle, back to the beginning, to recall a dream He gave decades ago. He knows the plans of wellbeing He has in mind for us; plans that will give us a new hope for the future. God listens to us when we call on Him. When we pray and seek Him with our whole heart, we will find His beautiful face that has been gazing at us all along. When we embrace the dreams God has designed, He is able to exchange the ashes of our pitiful failures for the beauty of His great success.
God shows us who we were and who we are created to become in the dreams He sends. He sees you in a totally different light than you see yourself. People may see you in a limited or narrow way, but God sees you reaching your greatest possible destiny in and through Him. God always views us through His eyes of love. When we agree with the way God sees us, we begin the transformation process. This allows God to accelerate things in our lives. We begin to catch up with God's timetable. He is able to restore to us the years that the devourers of failure and missed opportunities have consumed.
Right On Time
God designed the dreams that reside within us to come to light at a particular point in our lives. God strategically releases His dreams within us at a designated time, and then from that moment on, God relates to us as a whole, new, completed person. He no longer communicates to us according to our past or how we were, before the dream imprinted to make changes in our spiritual DNA. Dreams have the power to impart, renew, heal, transform, and reprogram us. If we don't come into the understanding of the dream and correctly interpret it against the backdrop of God's prescribed script, we can lose valuable time. But, if we understand the message of our dreams, God will accelerate our timeline and increase blessings for us.
When we are faithful in the little things, like recording and interpreting our dreams, God trusts us with the grander scales of revelation knowledge. The more we hunger for God, the further we will grow in our ability to taste His goodness. We touch God with our heart and see the internal wonders of His beauty with our eyes. When we passionately love God, we delight in the discipline of spiritual pursuits, so God can trust us with great riches in both the natural and spiritual realms.
Never allow complacency to take root or spiritual growth will stagnate. Spiritual hunger must take precedent or the simplicity of Christ will not manifest in that person's dreams. God reveals Himself to babes, those with a childlike faith, and hides Himself from the wise in thick darkness. When we have God within us, we have the source of all there is to have. When we have God we have nothing to lose even if we lost everything.
Once understanding comes in a specific area of our lives, God continues to build upon that level of understanding until we are able to grasp a higher or fuller knowledge of His ways. God relates to us as if we have already become the amazing person He designed us to be from the beginning. The old person no longer exists; all things have become new in Christ.
This is why it is imperative that we continue to focus on and call to remembrance the mighty things God has spoken to us in His Word and through our dreams. Grace and peace are multiplied to us when our knowledge of His ways and plans for our lives become preeminent. Seeing the plans and purposes God has reserved for our success allows us to achieve them. God's divine plans are written on the tablets of our heart. As we study to show ourselves approved, as a friend of God, His training and equipping process allows us to progress and step into our destiny.
Step By Step
Every increase or advancement in life involves a step by step process. God's patience woos and draws us to Himself by the Holy Spirit's touch. We hear and feel the Spirit's call and respond to His gentle contact and prompting. We see the plan of salvation and accept it as a gift. We have to hear His voice in the Word to have faith; we have to see Him to be like Him. We need to understand His plan to embrace it in its fullness. We must believe that God rewards those who diligently seek His face and do His will.
God is at our side. This is the generation of God-seekers who search for Him day and night. We continually seek God's face, and with God's help we will find Him. We study God's Word to train our spiritual and natural gifts to become the person God has destined us to become. When our training process is mature, though it never ends, we become His witnesses, proclaiming His greatness and demonstrating His power with signs, wonders, and miracles following.
Our spiritual journey is not one of the mind's but one of the heart's felt love. Let us seek God through the dreams of the night and the trances of thought that entertain, when our blinded eyes are finally given eyesight that is emboldened by His grace. Let the Holy Spirit's whispers of wisdom come to the prudent. Let the deaf ears hear and embolden our mouths to speak of His grace.
When we seek God's face we should expect to understand the mysteries received in the treasures of darkness. Spiritual riches are hidden in the secret place of His eternal presence. God's ways are past finding out. God's love is eternal; it has no beginning or end, no limit, and His love is incomprehensibly vast. God's perfect love casts fear out of His beloved; love wills good and everlasting welfare, not harm or evil on any. Love gives freely to the object of its affection, holding no record of wrong. We are the friends of a loving God who laid down His life for us. Herein is love that while we were sinners and enemies of God He sent His only Son Jesus to die for humanity.
Dreams Issue an Invitation
God's favor rests upon those who allow Him to correctly position them to reach their greatest potential. Success comes when we expect success. Our expectations draw God's wisdom, goodness and favor, which lead and guide us to become successful. When we are correctly positioned, we will live and move and have our being in God. Success comes from God, cycles through Him and flows like a circuit back to Him. When we discover the mind of God, He becomes the wise counselor to us.
Dreams issue an invitation that allows us to see ourselves the way God sees us now, in the future, and for all eternity. Our identity in God is bigger and better than the way we see ourselves today. True knowledge and authority come through experiencing the Living Word, Jesus, in our lives.
Before we were created, God skillfully crafted all of our days. He nestled dreams and visions deep within our soul before He created time. God alone knows the beginning from the end. He existed before time began, and God will exist after the final grain of sand slips through the neck of time's hourglass.
When we accept delivery of God's dream letters of love, He releases the strategic power to change every life event into something wonderful. He turns negative happenings to our advantage and improvement. Dreams enable us to glance into the imperceptible realms of wisdom, counsel, knowledge, and might. The Holy Spirit enables us to accomplish the eternal designs that are clearly chosen for our life.
Dreams publicize the great potential and vastness of our future. Dreams heal the pain of the past by removing the sting of failures we would otherwise haul with us through life. Dreams empower us to live each day to its fullest.
