Every one of God's visions and dreams goes through this process of birth, death, and resurrection. You have not really received a dream from God unless you've carried a burden, gotten all excited because you have given birth to a newborn visions and then, often with great dismay, watched what seems to be a death. The vision dies - people leave; the money dries up; the situation goes haywire; you just can't figure out what to do about it.
Then, and only then, God will come through with a resurrection. He uses that process to sanctify the dream so that when it really does come to past it will not be an egotistical thing for you. instead, you will be able to stand back and declare, "God did it! I almost gave up on it. I doubted the vision, but the Lord did it anyway!" You will know beyond a shadow of doubt that God did it, because it used to look so hopeless. See, it really was bigger than you were. You really could not have brought that thing back to life like that. God broke the limits off. He raised it back to life. He finished what He started.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day. Hab 2:3
