We’re just now getting back into the groove of the quest for “it” at my house. We were rudely interrupted by sickness and migraines. However, God always brings beauty from ashes and I was reminded that “it” is not an activity but a “who” that points you to a dream. We must keep that squarely in mind as we move forward.
Have you done some soul searching on what frustrates you? What brings passion to your very soul? What is it in your heart that is NOT okay in this world? Something that consistently compels you take action?
Once God reveals that
“thing” that strikes a chord deep within you, then you need to spend some time
dreaming about the possibilities with God. He wants to point your to your dream. It’s been my experience that
many people spend about three and a half minutes dreaming and then brush it
aside with their “that’s impossible” hand.

May I remind us all,
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” John 14:12
God dreams big and so should
we as His body.
we as His body.
Does God still speak to
us? Can He still heal? Does He still raise people from the
dead? Does he still call to us to
“follow Him”? Can He still part
the seas and rescue His people?
Does He still care about the orphans and widows? Is He really the living God? Does He still care intimately enough
about everyone that He really knows the number of hairs on our heads? (Does He keep track as we lose them?)

Could God ever do anything
BIG in me and through me? I mean
I’m not nearly as great as Paul, or Peter, or Mother Theresa, or Corrie Ten
Boom, or D.L. Moody. What could
God ever do through someone like me?

-
Paul (Saul) was a murdering
bully. - Peter was a deadliest catch
type fisherman. To say he was
rough around the edges is quite the understatement. Mother Theresa was a tiny little woman who took a vow of absolute
poverty. - Corrie Ten Boom would have killed the guard who had hurt her sister if
her wounded sister hadn’t stepped in to stop her. - D.L. Moody had a third grade education.
- Abraham was a coward who gave his wife over to two different men to save himself.
- Moses was a stuttering
murderer who argued with God. - Jesus’ brother, James,
thought Jesus was crazy and was embarrassed by him while he was alive.
I challenge you to spend
some significant time dreaming with God.
Don’t brush it aside and say that God isn’t big enough to use me in big
ways.
God uses the weak, the
broken, the imperfect….

Thank goodness!
More on dreams to come…
