God Wants YOU to Dream Big!

Written by David Breed

When you are child you dream of doing the impossible; but when you get older in life you suppress those things that are longing deep down in your heart to do.

It is time to dream again.

It is time you reach down in your heart of hearts and talk to God. He has placed things down in your heart like plans, purposes, talents, gifts - so,so,so much is on the inside of you! It’s time to start dreaming big with Him.

He loves you and will be by your side to make those things on the inside come to pass. Don’t try to figure these things out - pray them out with God! He will show you the way to go and remember what Jesus said, “ My Fathers is always working and so am I”(John 5:17)., So have confidence in yourself and all those mighty things God has placed inside of you! Go for it with God!!

He loves you so much and when you get to heaven you will be happy and proud to stand in front of Him when He says, “Well done good and faithful servant.”

4 Biblical Steps to Filling the Vision

From Habakkuk 2:1-4  (KJV)

STEP 1 - vs 1 - I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

STEP 2 - vs 2* - And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

STEP 3 - vs 3** - For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

STEP 4 - vs 4*** - “the just shall live by his faith.”

*****

The Living Bible translation:

2* (TLB) And the Lord said to me, “Write my answer on a billboard, large and clear, so that anyone can read it at a glance and rush to tell the others. 

3**(TLB) But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!

4*** (TLB) Note this: Wicked men trust themselves alone as these Chaldeans do, and fail; but the righteous man trusts in me and lives.

VISION PART 1 - IT’S TIME TO DREAM AGAIN

I am the vision man, God has given me an anointing to teach, preach, and demonstrate the subject! We are going to attack this subject! Visions of greatness are on the inside of you. God created you to fill your vision. He put that vision on the inside of you. Now it's time to step out and do the vision. God has called you to do. What is that vision? It is what God has put deep in your heart.

Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)

18 Where there is no vision (DREAM, REVELATION FROM GOD), the people perish.

Vision, Passion, and the Pursuit of God.

ALL OF OUR TEACHING WILL BE BASED ON GODS PRINCIPLES OF VISION FOUND IN THE BIBLE.

IT’S TIME TO DREAM AGAIN

Former generations were taught to think, to dream and embrace the possibilities of the future! We need to stir this kind of thinking up again today.

All children are dreamers. They go into their imaginations which has no boundaries. They may say boldly I'm going to be president when I grow up, I'm going to be a doctor, I'm going to be like this person, I'm gonna be a gamer. Their imagination has no limits!

As young people we dream of greatness, with never the thought of forfeiting the dream. But as we grow up, the world often times pushes us down and we abort the God given dreams and visions God has put inside of us. When we are young we believe in ourselves until everyone else around us tells us we can’t.

UNKNOWN QUOTE - “History is not a divine force set in stone, it is the servant of those who make it.”

JOSHUA KNEW THE IMPORTANCE OF VISION AND ACTIVATED THIS DIVINE FORCE - HE SAW THE DREAM OF GOD TO TAKE THE LAND FOR GOD AND HE TOOK IT!!

IT’S TIME TO DREAM AGAIN!!

Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)

18 Where there is no vision (DREAM, REVELATION FROM GOD), the people perish.

We have to get out of the rut (TIRE TRACKS IN THE ROAD THAT WE PUT THERE OURSELVES), ditch, of our routines!

GOD HAS PLACED MANY MIGHTY VISIONS AND DREAMS INSIDE OF YOU! YOU ARE NOT DONE YET! IF YOU ARE STILL BREATHING HE HAS MORE FOR YOU TO ACCOMPLISH!! MORE FUN AND MORE DREAMS ARE INSIDE OF YOU.

Many people are unconsciously stopping themselves from the plans God has for them! Lost in a scenery of everyday life, things start to look familiar! Soon they are cruising on auto pilot and thirty years later they waken up to wonder how they got there!

QUOTE: George Bernard Shaw

“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, THEY MAKE THEM!”

*** Inside your Dream, Your Vision is the ability to see God's presence, perceive God's power, and the focus on God's plan in spite of the obstacles.

Someone asked Helen Keller what could possibly be worse than being born blind. She promptly replied, “To have sight without vision.”

***Remember God made you special and has placed amazing gifts on the inside of you to help the world around you!

Ephesians 2:10 (AMPC)

10 For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), [a]recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].

4 STAGES TO FULFILLING YOUR DREAM

GOD GIVES US A SIMPLE AND POWERFUL BLUE PRINT FOR SUCESS BY FOLLOWING THE VISION THE DREAM HE HAS GIVEN US.

Habakkuk 2:1-4 King James Version (KJV)

1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision (DREAM), and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

LETS BREAK THIS VISION PRINCIPLE DOWN INTO EASY BITE SIZE PEICES - EACH VERSE HAS A POWERFUL PRINCIPLE. - JUST THE HIGHLIGHTS TODAY COULD TEACH ON THIS FOREVER

1) STEP ONE - PRAYING WITH EXPECTATION - KNOWING IT IS GODS WILL FOR ME TO KNOW MY VISION AND PATH IN LIFE. (OUR ASK GOD BIG SERIES, we learn how to pray big!!)

Habakkuk 2

1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower GO TO MY HIGH PLACE, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved (HB - Appointed/shown) - WHEN HE ANSWERS ME).

Habakkuk 2:1 (ERV)

1 I will stand like a guard and watch. I will wait to see what the Lord will say to me. I will wait and learn how he answers my questions.

God is saying Ask Me - I will show you the Dream/Vision.

God has given you a dream and it belongs to you.

It is tailor made for you. THE DREAM GOD HAS FOR YOU HAS GOD’S TOUCH ON IT!!!

COMMUNICATION WITH GOD IS KEY TO YOUR DREAM - JAMES BROTHER OF JESUS SAID SO.

James 4:2 (KJV) JAMES BROTHER OF JESUS SAID WE NEED TO BE BIGGER COMMUNICATORS WITH GOD.

2 … yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

(NLT) Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.

GOD SAYS HERE HE WILL ANSWER ME - HE IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS (Acts 10:34- Romans 2:11-16) - HE WILL GIVE ME THE RIGHT PATH OF SUCCESS IN LIFE - BECAUSE HE ONLY WANTS THE BEST FOR ME.

2) STEP TWO - THE ANSWER WILL ALWAYS COMES SO WE BETTER WRITE IT DOWN - HOW TO DO VISION BOARDS

verse 2 - And the Lord answered me (HELLO), and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

(LB) 2 And the Lord said to me, “Write my answer on a billboard, large and clear, so that anyone can read it at a glance and rush to tell the others.

Writing the vision down starts bringing it to life. THIS IS THE BIRTHING STAGE.

God Answers Habakkuk AND HE WRITES DOWN THE VISION - God will Answer - SO WRITE IT DOWN - THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PEICE TO SUCESS!!  IF YOU DO NOT HAVE IT WRITTEN DOWN YOUR CHANCES OF IT HAPPENING IS REDUCED DRASTICALLY - BECAUSE IT IS A PRINCIPLE OF SUCCESS WITH GOD!

Pastor Carol Joy just told us on Wednesdays Vlog and broadcast if we don’t write it down it won’t be done and accomplished.

THIS IS WHERE VISION BOARDS COME INTO THE PICTURE. YOU WILL NEED THIS VISON BOARD MORE THAN YOU KNOW - IT WILL KEEP YOUR FAITH DREAM ALIVE WHILE IT IS COMING TO PATH - YOU WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP YOUR EYES AND LIFE FOCUSED ON THE DREAM.

HOME WORK THIS WEEK IS TO BUY THE SUPPLIES TO MAKE A VISION BOARD.

Write down on the vison board what is in your heart - your dream - what has God spoken to you when you were a child - what is he saying to you right now.

WRITE DOWN YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS!! WRITE THEM ALL DOWN!!!

HOW TO DO VISION BOARDS:

I WILL NOT PUT ANY NOTES DOWN FOR VISION BOARDS - THIS WOULD BE PART 3 - WATCH THE VIDEO TO SEE FOR YOURSELF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF VISION BOARDS THAT I DO.

This is a big subject. And there are many different kinds of vision boards. I like to do vision boards that have a target goal. I like target goals because then I can see what I need to attain. Then I go after these goals to achieve them. I'm after results, so I want to complete them. And I will do everything in my power to complete them if it's what God told me to do.

You will see how I do these vision boards and the way I do these vision boards online. Go to this video go to this broadcast and watch it.

THE BIBLE IS FULL OF DREAMERS, AND THROUGH THICK AND THIN DID NOT LET GO OF THEIR DREAM, THEIR VISION & THE PASSION GOD GAVE THEM.

THE BIBLE RECORDS THEIR DREAMS DID COME TRUE.

1) Enoch - His ultimate hearts dream was to live and walk with God everyday! God loved his dream so much - God raptured him up in the clouds to be with Him. God loves relationships!

2) Noah - God gave him a dream of  living a better life - in a better world - He built the boat God told him to build and he went to that better life!

3) Abraham - Dreamed of having children like other men and women around him - he wanted a family - God not only did God give him a child - God gave him a family so big it covers the world today, all him because Abraham had trust in God’s Dream for him.

4) Sarah - Abrahams wife thought Abraham was crazy for believing they could have a child  a family later in life — but she got with God and God showed her that it was not impossible so they had a child and started a beautiful family blessed the whole world. (Jesus)

5) Joseph - God gave him a dream that he would be a great leader of a nation - his brothers and everyone thought he was crazy - and his dream came to pass - he went from being in jail to rulling a nation - God’s dreams for us come true!

6) Moses - He thought he was nothing, a loner, an outcast, not like other people, different an orphan - God gave him a dream to bring His children out of Egypt. And He brought out over a million people who were bound to be free from Egypt.

7) Rahab - She was a prostitute, people judged her and looked down on her - Her heart dream was to live a better life! A new life! God made a way for her to have this new and brand  new life!! Her dream came true!!

8) Gideon - Didn’t even know he could be a dreamer - God told him - “I created you to be a warrior”, he said what? But he trusted God and God’s dream came true for him. He became a great warrior!!!

GOD’S DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!

If God did it for them, He can do it for you!

Acts 10:34 (KJV) 34 … God is no respecter of persons. (God has no Favorites)

Romans 2:11 (TLB) 11 For God treats everyone the same.

Our God has equal and unconditional love for everyone!

GOD’S DREAMS DO COME TRUE!! IF GOD MADE ALL THESE IMPOSSIBLE DREAMS COME TRUE - HE CAN MAKE THE DREAM HE GAVE YOU COME TRUE!

THE BIBLE IS FULL OF DREAMS THAT CAME TRUE!

BIGGEST KEY TODAY

What did all these people have in common? - they sought after God first and God brought their dreams to pass!

Matthew 6:33 (HCSB)

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. —- Remember this started in step 1

Habakkuk 2:3 STEP 3

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, (IT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT) , and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry (IT WILL BE FULL-FILLED AND NOT BE DELAYED).

PART 5 & STEP 4 OF GOD’S 4 BIBLICAL STEPS TO FULFILLING YOUR VISION —TODAY - HOW TO HOLD ONTO YOUR DREAM, THE VISION, IN YOUR HEART, PROTECTING IT AND NEVER LETTING IT GO - LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH!!!

Vision, Passion, and the Pursuit of God.

MAIN BIBLE TEXT:

Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)

18 Where there is no vision (DREAM, REVELATION FROM GOD), the people perish.

Through the prophet Habakkuk - GOD GIVES US 4 SIMPLE AND POWERFUL - BLUE PRINT FOR SUCCESS- The just shall live by faith chapter.

1) STEP ONE - VERSE 1 - PRAYING WITH EXPECTATION - KNOWING IT IS GODS WILL FOR ME TO KNOW MY VISION AND PATH IN LIFE.

Habakkuk 2:1 (ERV)

1 I will stand like a guard and watch. I will wait to see what the Lord will say to me. I will wait and learn how he answers my questions.

- God has given you a dream and it belongs to you.

It is tailor made for you. GOD’S TOUCH!!!

2) STEP TWO - VERSE 2 WAS A 2 PART PROCESS -  -THE ANSWER WILL ALWAYS COMES SO WE BETTER WRITE IT DOWN

Habakkuk 2:2               

(LB) 2 And the Lord said to me, “Write my answer on a billboard, large and clear, so that anyone can read it at a glance and rush to tell the others.

Writing the vision down starts bringing it to life. THIS IS THE BIRTHING STAGE. SHOWED YOU 4 WAYS!

3) STEP THREE - HERE IT COMES - GOD’S DREAMS DO COME TRUE - IT IS ON THE WAY

Habakkuk 2:3

TODAYS TEACHING:

STEP 4 - HOW TO HOLD ONTO YOUR DREAM, THE VISION, IN YOUR HEART, PROTECTING IT AND NEVER LETTING IT GO - LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH!!!

Habakkuk 2:4 (NKJV)

“Behold (Look) the proud, His soul is not upright in him; (trusting in himself and what he can do) But the just (the righteous) will live by his faith, (His trust is in God and His faithfulness).

1) HOW TO HOLD ONTO YOUR DREAM, THE VISION, IN YOUR HEART - Mary is a great example of holding things in HER heart.

Luke 2:19 (NLT)

19 … Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often.

(LB) Mary quietly treasured these things in her heart and often thought about them.

She protected the things God showed her.

Proverbs 4:20-21 (NIV)

20 My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.

21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart. (LEADS US INTO PROTECTING THE DREAM)

2) PROTECTING IT

Don’t just tell everyone - people will talk you out of the dream God put in your heart - God gave you the faith to bring it to pass - others won’t understand and have the compassion to compete it - but you will - they won’t understand and that has a tendency to bring unnecessary negativity and doubt on the scene to ruin the fire you have during on the inside.

Pastor Fred Price - Faith Dome - People said it could not be done. He told his board members not to tell anyone about the project not even their wives. They stayed in faith over this project. Today many years later that church building is built and is testimony to what faith in God can accomplish.

3) NEVER LETTING IT GO - LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH!!!

I think this is the most important part!

Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV)

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Do you know what hold fast means? It is a word that we've heard so many times it may not realize the impact it has. Hold fast is taken from the Greek word “katecho”.

Katecho is a compound of two words: Kata and Echo.

Keta carries the idea of something that comes down with force. While Echo is defined as “I have” and carries the idea of “I possess”.

The two words combined together mean not only to embrace something, but the hold it tightly and with force! In other words, to hold fast is to have a firm grip. You take hold this/your dream with force, pull it downward and to you and don't let ANYTHING take it away from you! That is what hold fast means!!

OUR THINKING MUST BE RIGHT - RIGHT THINKING PRODUCES RIGHT BELIEVING, PRODUCES RIGHT ACTIONS - Philippians 4:8-9

Holding onto your dream will give you peace!!!

Hebrews 10:23 (TPT)

23 So now we must cling tightly to the hope that lives within us (WITH OUR HEARTS), knowing that God always keeps his promises!

LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH - WALKING AND STEPPING UP THE STAIRS ONE STEP AT A TIME.

“Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH IS BEAUTIFUL !!

🏰 FOR THE KINGDOM

Habakkuk 2:1-4  (KJV)

STEP 1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
