Dream On

I want to empower you today with just a few words of encouragement. For those of you who attend Strong Tower this is only a continuation of the Pastor's message titled I Have a Dream. Dreaming is a favorite pasttime of mine. I love to dream and I love to see thoughts spoken turn into action which allows dreams to come true. For those of you who are Team Leaders and volunteers at STM, I am honored to serve with you knowing that I will be around to see a measure your dreams come to pass.

I attended a Kids' Church conference about 5 years ago in Atlanta, GA. There was a speaker there by the name of Steve Siemens. He told a story of a man, whose name escapes me, who prayed for the power of God. He said this man prayed fervently and persistently. One day when the man became frustrated with God he asked God why God had not given him the power he had been praying for. He said God quietly whispered in his ear, "with plans no bigger than yours, you don't need my power."

Sir Francis Drake is quoted as saying these words, "Disturb us Lord when we are too well pleased with ourselves. When our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little. When we arrive safely because we have sailed too close to the shore. Disturb us Lord."

Folks, God's vision and dream for your life is bigger and better than you've ever hoped for. Pastor said once (back in early 2007) that God instills the dream within us and we allow Him to use us for its fulfillment. When your dreams live, you make the Kingdom of God better. Allow God to give you a dream. Allow Him to use you for its fulfillment. If the dream's too big for you then it's the perfect size for God! He gets the glory and others are drawn to Him.

God has created each one of you with a dream, a vision. Regardless of your life's circumstances, where you've been or not been or what you've done or not done, God has a dream for you. It's bigger than you and only He can make it come to pass. God loves you, He created you for greatness and whether you believe these words or not, they are true. Don't let your past or present hold tomorrow's dreams hostage. Be a dreamer!

Have a great day my friends. Dream on!!!
