Practice: Dream Great Dreams!

I. How does God do it?
  • He invites ordinary people to dream something so great that it would be impossible if God did not do it.
    • The basis of sanctified dreaming:
    1. God is able. --Jeremiah 32:17; Luke 1:37
    2. God is desirous. --1 Corinthians 2:9
    3. God has promised. --Psalm 37:4
    4. God invites us. --Psalm 2:8; John 14:12-14
      5. II. How God births dreams in His people?
      • Abram – He commands us to step out of our “comfort zone.”
      • Joseph – He puts a dream within our heart.
      • Moses – He allows us to fail in our attempt to accomplish His dreams in our own power.
      • David – He teaches us through adversity to love the “Dream-giver” more than “the dreams.”
      • Paul – He clarifies our calling in times of crisis and often uses our worst failures as the platform of His future fulfillment.
      • Jesus – The dream will cost us our life and appear to others as the height of folly just before God accomplishes the impossible through us.
        • III. How to develop bite-sized dreams for...
        • Your life
        • Your marriage
        • Your children
        • Your career
        • Your ministry
          • IV. The process:
          • Write it down and then read it over regularly
          • Pray over your dreams
          • Look for God’s intervention and direction
            • Conclusion: God has a dream for you! --Ephesians 3:20-21
