ACTIVATE YOUR FAITH - LIVE YOUR DREAM
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you can ask or think according to the power that works in us” - Eph 3:20
Joshua 1:8 Think right - Ask Right - Do it right.
Read Isa 55:8-92. Cor 5:7 “We Walk by faith not by sight.”
The devil doesn’t mind you thinking and even speaking words of faith if you don’t take steps of faith.
1. The Dreams I like are those that come from deep imaginative thinking inspired by God’s Word and prayer..
Nehemiah 1&2: Nehemiah received news about Gods people and work, then he prayed and fasted for four months, and the opportunity came. v12 “What my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem.” Heart power is stronger than head power! I am convinced that doing big things for God and with God starts with a big dream. Vision is empowering to the person who has it. It will give you a glimpse of what the future could look like if you do certain things. All risk taking begins with the word Vision or Imagine. David had killed the bear, and the Lion, now he is about to face Goliath, and he said, “he will be like one of them.” Before he killed Goliath, he could see the outcome in his imagination, and it empowered him to run towards the giant and slay Goliath with one of his five stones in a sling shot!
Albert Einstein said, “Your imagination is a preview of your life’s coming attraction”
2. Before God can use people in a big way He has to expand their thinking.
He takes you on a journey to expand your mind. I built my first Church on 43 acres of land. After I bought the land and made plans, I began to panic when I realized how much it was going to cost. So, my wife and I went down to Oral Roberts University and saw how he had purchased 500 acres of land and built a whole Christian Complex on it. I said to myself, “if the God I serve can do this for Oral Roberts, then He can certainly do this small 43-acre project for me.” So, we stepped out in faith and God came through for us.
God said in Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.” He is the God who showed Fleming how to take a piece of molding bread and turn it into the miracle of Penicillin and showed Edison how to make the light bulb.
John D Rockefeller read Gen 6:14. When Noah built the ark, he was told to put pitch all over it. Rockefeller knew that where there was pitch there was oil, so he found out where the ark was built in the Middle East, dug an oil well there and struck oil! Rockefeller was a northern Baptist and gave $80 million to a struggling Bible College that eventually became the University of Chicago. Rockefeller said, he lived by John Wesley’s dictum on finances, “gain all you can by honest means, save all you can by being thrifty and give all you can by being generous.”
3. The process of a Dream is like this: I thought it, I sought it, I caught it, I got it.
The future belongs to those who are willing to invest in it. In Hebrews 11 all the Heroes of faith had a Dream; they kept trying, learning and expanding Gods kingdom. Exodus 14:15
Henry John Heinz founder of the Heinz 57 varieties said two things directed his life and kept him going through a lot of unusual joys and sorrows: His devotion to God and an Unshakable Dream of his destiny. We Dream, Live the Dream and Dream Again!
Psalm 105:17-19 Joseph was a dreamer. There are many dream thieves that you need to protect against, like fear, negativity, poverty, discouragement.
Jeremiah 1:5-7 Jeremiah gave place to self-imposed limitations and God rebuked him. Don’t say you can’t when God says you can. (Phil 4:13)
Psalm 27:13 “If I hadn’t believed to see the goodness of God in the land of the living I would have fainted.” What you believe, expect. William Carey said, “Attempt great things for God; Expect great things from God.”
