Happy Wednesday!
FYI: I’m preaching at Trinity Harvest Church in Pikeville, Kentucky Friday night at 7pm… if your close to Pikeville, see you there?
Hows life for you guys today? Things going well? I really care and I’m really praying for God to help you into the victories you desire! Everyone has dreams… you have dreams of being and doing so many things! Hold on to those dreams… and never let them out of your sight! Anything is POSSIBLE… and your DREAMS, no matter how BIG they may look from where you are standing today… they are POSSIBLE!
Most of the time, dreams take a very long time growing up into living realities. A dream is a PICTURE of what is POSSIBLE.
Hebrews 11:1 Now FAITH is the substance of THINGS HOPED for, the evidence of things not seen.
Dreams are the THINGS HOPED FOR in this faith formula! Without THINGS HOPED FOR, our FAITH has nothing to go after!
So, in order to live a miraculous kind of existence… in order to live by FAITH and not by SIGHT… in order to fully experience the super amazing destinies God has for you and me… we MUST GET BETTER AT DREAMING!
For most people, their tiny dreams are not much more than an impression in their heart. For others… a mental photograph. There are some people who carry around mental PHOTO ALBUM of their various dreams. And then there is that very small elite group of DREAMERS out there who DREAM SO WELL they have actually GONE INTO THE FUTURE AND LIVED THEIR DREAMS ALREADY!
AGAIN… Hebrews 11:1 Now FAITH is the substance of THINGS HOPED for, the evidence of things not seen.
FAITH is the VEHICLE that transports a person from the LAND OF HOPES into the LAND OF DESTINY. Faith CREATES SUBSTANCE out of the things WE HOPE FOR… or DREAM ABOUT!
HOPE has its very necessary purpose… hope cannot do what ONLY faith can do. Hope says, maybe someday. Hope says, that sure would be nice. Hope says, here are my dreams… my possibilities… this is my potential.
Then, once we have HOPE… once we have a CLEAR DREAM, faith steps up and says LET US GO UP NOW, AGAINST ALL ODDS IF NECESSARY, AND LET US TURN THIS DREAM INTO A LIVING REALITY… FOR THIS DREAM IS AS GOOD AS DONE!
If I can SEE IT, I CAN HAVE IT! Therefore, I must become an expert at DREAMING the DREAMS of God for my life! I have to stop reducing the size of my dreams down to the size of my human capabilities. I must not filter my dreams through the vastness of my obstacles… instead, I have to BELIEVE that with GOD all things are possible… to them that BELIEVE!
Are you good at DREAMING the DREAMS OF GOD? Maybe you should consider starting a DREAM JOURNAL… a place where you can doodle pages and pages of DREAMS… a place where you can DREAM WITHOUT LIMITS… DREAM as if your FATHER IS THE ONE WHO CREATED EVERYTHING AND CAN DO ANYTHING! Sounds like a good plan to me!
Have fun you guys: DREAM ON… DREAM ON… DREAM UNTIL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUUUUUUUUUUUE! I pray this blog adds tremendous future value to your amazing lives! Please leave your comments… I love to read them all! Come to church tonight at Destiny Family Center… see you there!
NICE PASTOR CHUCK! MY DREAMS ARE AS NUMEROUS AS MY PRAYERS BUT I KNOW WITH FAITH ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. IF YOU DON’T PRAY OR DREAM, YOU ARE STUCK IN MEDIOCRITY. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, HATED IT. NOW I AM SAVED AND EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
Pastor Chuck – I haven’t been to your blog for a few days – God is good, I stopped for a few minutes this afternoon to read this & yes, it hit me again……I’m wondering now, was this an answer to the prayer I had left with Him on Sunday? I want to cry, jump, scream, ok- basically go through all the emotions possible & run to Him allowing Him to twirl me about in His arms & envelope me as I embark upon the dream that I have in my heart! WOOOOO, Pastor Chuck (remember when Aunt Jenny was talking about you having energy like my step-dad? Same energy here! This could be CRAZY in many peoples minds!!)!!!
i dream everyday for miracles. most of which you know. Lets pray for God to help OUR family through a very difficult week. I pray for peace and for you chucky as you pray for all of us so I will pray for you along with everyone else.
