18 When they saw him from a distance and before he came close to them, they plotted against him to put him to death. 19 They said to one another, “Here comes this dreamer! 20 “Now then, come and let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; and we will say, ‘A wild beast devoured him.’ Then let us see what will become of his dreams!”
One of the most dangerous things to the devil is a man or woman. That has a dream.
Not just one who has a dream but one who really believes that this dream could and will come to past.
That’s why the world’s greatest battle is not in the middle east or in Korea, not in the Ukraine..
The greatest battle in the world is in your mind and in the thoughts.
It is in our minds where Limitations and boundaries are formed in the mind.
Our mind is the place where we form conclusions about what is possible for our lives. What we can and cannot do. What is right and what is wrong and what to pursue and not to pursue
What is possible and what is not.
What to trust and who to trust. What is right and wrong
And if the devil can stain our minds and bring confusion he can control us.
The devil doesn’t have to kill you to make sure you don’t do anything with your life..
All he has to do is convince you that you are nothing and you are going no where.
The devil doesn’t have to take away you scholarship for you not to go to college. All he has to do is convince you that you not smart enough to even apply
Its like my mama used to say.. and black mama’s are always right.
The devil is a lie…
And aint no devil in Hell gonna steal my dream.. I feel like preaching.. UMMMM
Now I posted this on facebook
"I am not just connected to the world by my flesh.
I am connected to God by my Faith..."
What’s going on around me doesn't move me as much as what’s going on within me!!!
My faith connects my spirit to God.
God is in Heaven.. The Holy Spirit is in me on earth. But my faith brings heaven to earth and connects me to God
Not only does my faith connect me to God it realease possibility
Dr. Carrol Thompson says
“what ever control the mind controls you.”
Hebrews 11:3 (NASB95)
3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.
It takes faith to do the impossible
And now because of faith everything becomes possible.
One man says that's impossible
The Man of faith says
"With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26
26 And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Now today I want to speak to all the dreamer in the room
28 “It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. 29 “Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
Notice the promise
I (God) will pour out his spirit
Notice the promise of his spirit.
Who is he doing this to?
All mankind.
Why? So that sons and daughters will prophesy.
Why prophesy? What is doing this for?
SO WE CAN SEE THINGS LIKE HE DOES!!!
God Himself is a dreamer
Ephesians 1:3–5 (NASB95)
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,
Before there was an us. He chose us.
Jeremiah 1:5 (NASB95)
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Before I formed you I knew you. I though about you.
Now I ask the Lord this question before I came here tthis morning
God What is your dream and plan for those who are here today?
Jeremiah 29:11 (NASB95)
11 ‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.
Future and hope.
I don’t know what God has for you but I know its good..
And if you have the faith you can have the dream
Look with me at Hebrews 11:1–2
1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the men of old gained approval.
Notice what faith is. The sustain of things hoped for.
Faith is a substance
Substance literally means “a substance which is real,” it is a foundation a substructure
Faith stands as substance until one receives what he hopes for.
Faith is literally the secret weapon in making the dream the reality..
Faith is the substance till you receive the substance.
Substance of what is hoped for.
If it were not for hope there would be no faith.
Because hope brings forth possibility and if a thing were not assumed possible there would be no purpose or need for believing and therefore one has no energy.
If one believes a thing is out of the realm of possibility than believing is not necessary.
I remember (you can pick one or none)
· First Romania trip
· Vacation
· Healings
· Omega speaking to the fog
J.M. Power says,
“The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.”
Dreams stir our heart to possibility.
They increase our imagination.
That’s why the holy spirit contributes because he makes the impossible possible!!!
T.E. Lawrence once said, "All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds awake to the day to find it was all vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for the many act out their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible..."
Jesus says in Mark 9:23
23 And Jesus said to him, “ ‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”
The great Walt Disney says,
“If you can dream it you can do it!!!”
I feel like preaching
20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,
I got a dream… God gave it to me.
Joseph brothers tried to kill him because of his dream.
Listen DREAMER WILL ALWAYS ATTRACT HATER!!!!
The question becomes Do you have enough guts to dream?
he did not let the hatred of others stop him from dreaming
he kept dreaming
Genesis 37:9 says that,
9 Now he had still another dream, and related it to his brothers, and said, “Lo, I have had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.
9 He had another dream
Don’t let the devil stop you from dreaming..
this is for you hater out there..
look at yo neighbor and say neighbor
don’t be jealous.. don’t hate participate… Congratulate.. cmon and graduate!!!
The bible says in Romans 12:15
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
Look at yo neighbor and clap your hands and say I am so happy for you
Happy happy happy
Cuz I know if God can bless you. Then surely he can bless me
If God can bless the youngest and the weakest one.. I know he can bless me
If his eye is on the sparrow I know I just know he watches me
Later the brothers plotted against the joseph they saw him and said
“Here comes this dreamer!
I came to tell you tonight
Don’t allow anyone to kill your dream
If the devil can stop you from dreaming he can stop you.
Walt Disney also said
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”
“Build a dream and the dream will build you.” -Robert H. Schuller
“Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.” -Wolfgang Von Goethe
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” -Harriet Tubman
HERE COMES THE DREAMER…
Don’t let your dreams die.
Dream Again!!!
Ill close with this story… .
It started like so many evenings. Mom and Dad at home and Jimmy playing after dinner. Mom and Dad were absorbed with jobs and did not notice the time. It was a full moon and some of the light seeped through the windows. Then Mom glanced at the clock. "Jimmy, it's time to go to bed. Go up now and I'll come and settle you later."
Unlike usual, Jimmy went straight upstairs to his room. An hour or so later his mother came up to check if all was well, and to her astonishment found that her son was staring quietly out of his window at the moonlit scenery. "What are you doing, Jimmy?" "I'm looking at the moon, Mommy." "Well, it's time to go to bed now." As one reluctant boy settled down, he said, "Mommy, you know one day I'm going to walk on the moon."
Who could have known that the boy in whom the dream was planted that night would survive a near fatal motorbike crash which broke almost every bone in his body, and would bring to fruition this dream 32 years later when James Irwin stepped on the moon's surface, just one of the 12 representatives of the human race to have done so?
