Dream It, Believe It, Live it!

I know God’s given you dreams — He’s put them on your heart in a way you can’t deny. You may not have told anyone. You may have thought it was too big to happen. But I want you to realize that God hasn’t given up on those dreams and you don’t have to either.
I’ve never heard of one story where God gave a dream and fulfilled it on the same day.

God has designed life with seasons and processes — each step along the way does something unique that builds our faith and causes us to step out and trust Him.
God came to Abraham in Genesis 12 and promised not just to bless him, but to bless ALL the people of the earth through Him. In Genesis 15 Abraham is struggling to believe these incredible promises so God does something amazing that I want you to notice.

“Then the Lord took Abram outside and said to him, ‘Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have!’ ” (Genesis 15:5 NLT)

God wasn’t just making promises to Abraham — He was teaching him how to dream. God knew if Abraham could see it...then he could dream it.

just like He called Abraham to look up and see it — He’s making that same promise to you today.

God wants to teach you the same process He taught Abraham under that beautiful star-filled sky.

First you dream it...Then you believe it...Then you live it...

The first step is to get a vision. The next step is to trust Him. Then finally you take a step of faith and live out what God has promised, no matter what your circumstances, your friends, your worries or the enemy is telling you.

I want you to know that God loves you generously and abundantly, and as a loving Father, He’s impressed and honored when His children dream bold, supernatural dreams.

No Need To Reply

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE


“When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer. Then Pilate asked him, ‘Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?’ But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge — to the great amazement of the governor”

(Matthew 27:12–14)

TODAY’S WORD

One time, a reporter asked me what I thought about two men he named, but I hadn’t ever heard of them. I just replied, “I’m sorry. I don’t know them.” He began to laugh and thought that was so funny. I asked, “Well, who are they?”
He said, “Jones, they are your two most outspoken critics. They’re always talking about you.”

He couldn’t believe that I hadn’t ever heard of them. I’ve learned that you can’t waste your time engaging in conflicts that don’t matter. There will always be critics. There will always be naysayers, but we have to follow the example of Jesus. When He was falsely accused, He didn’t try to defend Himself. He gave no reply to the charges against Him.

Remember, the critics cannot keep you from your destiny. They don’t define who you are. They don’t determine your worth and value. You are a child of the Most High God. The Creator of the universe breathed life into you. As a believer in Jesus, you are crowned with favor. Turn away from accusing voices so you can focus on the destiny God has prepared for you!



A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, today I cling to You because You are my defender! I choose to turn away from accusing voices. I choose to turn away from petty conflicts. I look to You knowing that You are leading and guiding me in paths of victory in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Look! You CAN See Him!

“Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; lighten the eyes [of my faith to behold Your face in the pitchlike darkness]...”
(Psalm 13:3, AMP)


We serve a mighty God who wants to do great things in the lives of His people! So many people today struggle with believing that God desires good things for them. Maybe they grew up being taught that God was mad at them, or maybe they had some bad experiences that shaped their perspective. But the truth is God’s not mad at you today; He’s madly in love with you!

In the natural, the more you know someone, the easier it is to believe what they have to say. The same is true with God. The more you know Him, the more you will know His unconditional love. When you open the eyes of your heart by reading and meditating on His Word, you will clearly see His goodness and the wonderful plan He has for your future.

Today, I encourage you to seek Him so you can see Him, know Him and trust Him. Let His Word illuminate your heart so you can see clearly with your eyes of faith. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you so you can find confidence in His love and experience the blessing He has in store for your future!




A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for another day to praise and glorify You. I want to know You more. I choose to look out with my eyes of faith so I can see the good things you have in store for my future. I bless You today and always. In Jesus’ name, Amen.





























Where Can I Find Love?



Everyone is looking for love. But what is the love we all want and need? If the question of your heart is, "Where can I find real love?" let me share with you some good news. You are already loved. In the most familiar verse in the Bible we are told:

For God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life (John 3:16)

To those who believe, Jesus described the scope of God's love. To His disciples, Jesus said, "Do not worry, sayoiing. 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But see first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:31-33). It is only when we believe we are loved in this way and receive that love that we have the securite we need to take the risk of loving others.
 Have you ever taken the first step of finding love in the Person and actions of Christ? Have you ever entrusted yourself to Him? Have you believed the Bible when it says Christ died for your sins?
 This is the starting point. Acknowledge your sin and your need of Christ, who came "to seek and to save that which were lost" (Luke 19:10). It is in Christ that we find the love of God, and it is in Him that we see what it means to live in the kind of love described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8:

Love suffers long and it is kind; love does not
envy; love does not parade itself, is not
puffed up; does not behave rudely, does
not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no
evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but
rejoices in truth; bears all things,
believes in all things, hopes in all things, endures
all things. Love never fails.

God loves us with that type of love, and He is the One who calls us not merely to a higher standard but to let Him live His life through us.

When Will You Believe?


“By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible”

(Hebrews 11:3)

You were created by Almighty God to live a blessed and fulfilled life. But so many people live far below the level of what God truly intends for them simply because they don’t see how it could happen. But the truth is you have to believe before you’re ever going to see something take place in the natural. You have to look with your eyes of faith because the provision, healing and miracle that you need is already available in the supernatural realm.

You might say, “Well, I don’t know how to do that. I don’t know how to look with my eyes of faith.” The way you open your eyes of faith is by reading and meditating on the Word of God. His Word deposits strength and faith inside you and illuminates your heart. His Word causes your faith to grow so you can believe His promises. And when you believe it, then you will see it because all things are possible for those who believe!

Today, feed your faith by meditating on His Word. Declare His promises over your life. Keep moving forward with an attitude of faith and expectancy knowing that He has victory in store for your future!




Father God, thank You for Your sweet and precious promises. I choose to open the eyes of my heart so that I can see and receive the good things You have for me. Help me to be a blessing to others and keep my mind stayed on You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
