DREAM AGAIN Part 2
Last month we dove into the idea that the big dreams we have in our heart were meant to point us to Christ and to magnify him. You were created for God-Sized Purpose so dream God-Sized Dreams. This month, we’re going to continue discussing Dreaming On.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT DREAMS?
Dreams are the Language of God.
“‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” - Acts 2:17 NIV
Dreams are given for the glory of God.
“But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth" - Exodus 9:16
Dreams are never too BIG for God.
“For nothing is impossible with God. “ - Luke 1:37
WHat hinders our GOD-SIZED DREAMS?
We lose track of where we should be looking.
“Look straight ahead. Fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.” - Proverbs 4:25-27
We lose track of who’s we are.
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.” - Ephesians 2:10
We lose track of who God is.
“Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” - Jeremiah 32:17
WHAT DOES A GOD-SIZED DREAM LOOK LIKE?
A God-Sized dream will seem impossible.
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” - Hebrews 11:6
A God-Sized dream will require more God and less you.
“Now to Him Who, by (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]" - Ephesians 3:20
A God-Sized dream will point to God and not to you.
“It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.” - Ephesians 1:11-12
