DREAM ON!!
Pastor
Larry Gatlin, So.
We live in such a statistics oriented society today; it has become so
prevalent in our culture that it has managed to slip into the Church. Too often
we let words and phrases influence whether - or at least how much faith we are
willing to exercise.
We have to understand
that God doesn't live inside our sense or concept of reality. He lives outside
the realm of statistics and odds. If I was a betting man I might respond by saying
God’s three of a kind trumps anything
the devil has to offer! His three of
a kind is, "The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost".
It is this secular
sense of reality that is killing the dreams and visions that God has placed in
the hearts of Believers. Believers get so used to the worlds concepts that they
forget that "The Kingdom” doesn't operate on them at all. We have a
superior reality; ours is based the "
By allowing the world’s
concepts to dictate the Church agenda we are capping our dreams and visions.
Don't allow that to happen to you.
Through out the Bible God had men and women of great vision in place.
Abraham was a dreamer of sorts who was looking for a great new land. Joseph was
a dreamer and God used him to save
Pay attention to what
you weep over, because it is a window to your heart and dreams. It reveals what
God has for you. God always has great blessing in store for those who'll
trust and believe.
A huge enemy to dreams
and visions coming to fruition is discouragement. It comes in and like a
poison, paralyzes it's prey and brings defeat. It brings depression with it and
allows the heart to be overwhelmed with unexplainable grief and hurt. The antidote
for discouragement is for all of us to become encouragers.
It is crucial for each of us
to take on the ministry of encouragement. Paul tells us that we are to "encourage
and build one another up.” (1Thes.
It is when we begin to
look for opportunities to encourage others that we will start dreaming bigger.
More productive dreams will take us beyond the ordinary and into the
extraordinary realm of Gods Super Natural Realities rather than the realities
of man.
If God doesn't
have to live what we call reality, neither do we. We can become
enveloped in His Super Natural reality and live a life that
is Super Natural. We'll see the sick healed, the lame walk, the blind see,
and the lost get saved.
The world is waiting
for us to reveal the Reality of the
So DREAM
ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
