A Heart to Dream

God is always sending things our way to inspire us. He uses all kinds of avenues to expand the horizons of our hearts and to fan the flames of our dreams and expectations. He is the very one who plants these desires in us in the first place and He watches over every opportunity to fulfill our imaginings. And so it is this very stage that has been set for our success that becomes the intense battleground to rob us of our victories. For there is such a war raging against us, that we forget there is a real enemy actively working to confound us at every turn.

But our Father does not leave us defenseless. He has the amazing ability to turn everything that was meant for our destruction into a triumph. And that conquest urges us on toward the high calling of God in our individual and corporate lives. And that is what it is all about…..completing the personal assignment in this life that we were created for.

There is no one else who can achieve what we were designed to do and there is no one else who sees things the way we do. We are all unique in our gifts and expressions and have a contribution to make to the world that is exclusive to us. It’s the dreaming of God’s dreams for us in the intimate places of our hearts that helps us to see the finish line and empowers us to continue on when the going gets tough.

We are one of a kind, irreplaceable, rare, distinctive, exceptional and when we place ourselves in the hands of our Creator, we become alive with unimaginable potential and it is this promise of possibility that will…. lay hands on the sick and they will recover, raise the dead, cast out devils, and preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Freely giving what we have freely received from Jesus our resurrected Savior.

Let us never forget what hangs in the balance. There is a lost and dying world waiting to see and hear what only we can share……….the Good News of Jesus.


Now to Him Who, by and in consequence of the action of His power that is at work within us, is able to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly, far over and above all that we dare ask or think infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams--
