TRUTH IN A NUTSHELL:
This is season where some people have
stopped dreaming, they have reverted in
their life to only being concerned with
survival. However, I believe that this is
the season for listening closely to what
the Lord is saying about your life and
your future.
TRUTH IN A NUTSHELL:
God still has a good plan for your life.
This is the time to dream big dreams. If
we would dream at all why not dream
Big. We should ask God in faith believing
to give you a dream to match the calling
on your life and then fill you with His
Spirit to enable you to fulfill the dream
He gives you.
ACTS 26:19
“Therefore, King
Agrippa, I was not
disobedient to the
heavenly vision,
ACTS 26:19-20 (THE MESSAGE)
"What could I do, King Agrippa? I couldn't
just walk away from a vision like that! I
became an obedient believer on the spot. I
started preaching this life-change—this
radical turn to God and everything it meant
in everyday life—right there in Damascus,
went on to Jerusalem and the surrounding
countryside, and from there to the whole
world.
WORDS TO LIVE BY
 Live your life as an exclamation.. not an explanation..
for Jesus Christ.
 Don’t let the minor irritations in life take away your
dreams.
 When opportunity knocks, invite it in for dinner...
 When facing a difficult task act as if you can’t fail…
 If you go fishing for Moby Dick.. take tartar sauce.
 When you pray for rain, take an umbrella.
PEOPLE WHO DO GREAT THINGS FOR GOD
HAVE GOD SIZED DREAMS
 God has designed you to dream big and see your
dreams fulfilled.
 The most energy depleting situation in life is where
there is a perception that:
Your life isn’t really going anywhere and
It will never change…it will always be the same old,
same old.
Your best season in life is in the past and it will never
get any better than this.
Don’t let go of your dream.
GOD IS THE SOURCE OF BIG DREAMS:
‘Call to Me, and I will answer
you, and show you great
and mighty things, which
you do not know.’
DREAMS TAKE ACTION.
Thomas Edison when he invented
the light bulb, tried 700 wrong
filaments that didn’t work before he
found one that did work.
Remember the priests at the
Jordon? They had to STEP IN!
WALK IN FAITH, PATIENCE, COURAGE AND
ABOUND IN GRACE!
Results will never start until we do. We have to
continue to walk toward our dreams to see
anything happen.
God doesn’t always give a time-line on our
dreams.
It takes courage to see the dream come to
pass.
It takes faith to wait on the dream without
becoming discouraged or giving up.
WATCH OUT FOR THE DREAM STEALERS
 Satan will do anything and use anybody in an attempt to steal your
dreams:
 John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill,
and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they
may have it more abundantly.
1. Using discouraging words from other Christians.
2. Don’t let people who have let their dreams die, kill yours as
well.
3. Words of close friends and family to introduce doubt and
fear.
4. He uses both diverters and distractors to rob you of your
dreams:
I AM DOING A GREAT WORK!
Nehemiah 6:3 So I sent messengers to
them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so
that I cannot come down. Why should the
work cease while I leave it and go down to
you?”
The “do nothings”…who just want you to
put it off.
FOR GOD’S DREAM TO COME TRUE ITS GOING
TO TAKE A LOT OF FAITH AND HARD WORK.
Walk toward the dream and let
God open the way before you.
Take a risk and let God bless
you.
Be open to letting God interrupt
your plan with a better plan.
ACTS 16:6-10
 6 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the
region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit
to preach the word in Asia. 7 After they had come to
Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit[a] did
not permit them. 8 So passing by Mysia, they came
down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the
night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him,
saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 Now
after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to
go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called
us to preach the gospel to them.
CONCLUSION:
Ask God for His dream for your
life, then walk toward the dream
with everything that you have,
and never allow anyone to steal
your dream.
