Your God-Sized Dream

When God created you, he created a dream and wrapped a body around it.

Lou Engle

Dreams! This book is all about getting and living out your God-sized dreams from God! This book will help you get through the process that will take you to your promise: your God-sized dream.  How many times in our church world today have you heard a preacher speak on dreams, destiny and purpose? That is exactly what this book is all about. We are about to dive deep and go after the deep things of God. No more half-hearted Christianity. No more just wanting to do a dream of the flesh. We are about to become dreamers for the most high God and accomplish all that he has in store for us!

What makes you come alive? What is that one thing you would throw your entire life into if you weren’t worried about finances, what people would say or if it would work? What is the thing that you would give your whole life to? That thing, that one thing that makes you feel like a little child again, that is your God-sized dream. Remember when you were a little kid and you believed you could be anything or do anything? When did you stop believing that?

Philippians 4:13 says, I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. My friends, you can do anything with God! Never be scared of the unknown instead embrace it. There’s a philosophy that I’ve started to live my life by. It is simply this, WHY NOT?! What’s holding you back from pursuing that God-sized dream? Go after it!

Most people grow up, get married have a family, retire and then they die, but they never really live. My God sent Jesus so that you could have life more abundantly, so you could live out your God-sized dream! Will your dream die inside of you? Maybe the world is the way it is because too many people have died with their dreams inside of them. The graveyard has so many dreams buried inside it that could have revolutionized the world. Through this book, my prayer is that God will re-create the heart of the dreamer in you and that you will be awakened to dream the dreams of God!

Did you know God is a dreamer?! God had a dream from the very beginning. Genesis 1:26-28 Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

You see my friends, God’s dream was to create us and have an ongoing personal relationship with us. This is why God said, Let’s make man in Our Image. The Father was talking to Jesus and the Holy Spirit and then he made us in his likeness. God then gave us dominion over all of the animals and creatures of the earth. He even entrusted Adam with naming them. One of the many reasons God did this is because he wanted man to have ownership of the Earth. God wanted us to be in constant communication with God about the things of our planet. God’s dream was to be able to communicate with man as man carried out all the functions of God throughout all of the earth to establish God’s kingdom.

If you look at the world today, you can see how far the earth has gotten away from God’s dream. One of the main reasons the world has drifted so far from God’s dream is because the dreamers have gone away, they have begun to dream their own dreams, the dreams of the flesh. I pray that you will allow the dream that is in the heart of father God to be carried out in the earth through you! Whenever God wants to do something in the earth he is always looking for a man because he gave us full dominion in Genesis 1:26-28. This is why when we ask for revival and awakening God is looking to find somebody that he can trust to bring in the next great move of God and global awakening. William Booth said I don’t pray for a move of God; I am a move of God!

My friends I want to ask you a question, but first I must warn you, I am going to say one of the biggest curse words in the Christian dictionary. The word is HOW! To dream the dreams of God you must remove that word from your dictionary. Remove it from your vocabulary! Never use it again.

Now to my question. If you could do anything in the world for God, what would it be? Now remember you can’t ask how. How am I going to do that, how my going to pay for that, who’s going to help me, who’s going to think I’m crazy, the list goes on and on. So now who is ready to dream the God-sized dreams? When God ask us to do something it scares us half to death, gives us chills, makes us feel faint but also excited, gets our blood pumping and makes us run around and do a praise break dance. That’s what I’m talking about a God size dream. Whenever you get a God-sized vision or dream it will overtake you!

So many times it will even overtake your life, your thoughts and conversations. Your God-sized dream will replace your sleeping with dreaming. God is always looking for a son or daughter that he can dream through. When I say dream through I’m talking about allowing God to release a dream in you that is colossal, huge, absurd, immeasurable, oversized, outrageous, ridiculous, wild, crazy, enormous, gigantic, insane massive God size dream!

The Fullness Of Your Dream

Without God-given dreams to guide you, you will travel life’s highway searching for a destination you’ll never find.

Dutch Sheets

Iwant to challenge you and to stretch you! I want you to learn to think outside the box! My God who created this world has so much creativity and so much of imagination that he made every person so uniquely different. He also made every one of us to have a unique purpose, destiny and dream. I want to help you to try to figure out why in the world God has you here in this moment and at this very specific time on planet Earth. God put you and placed you in the geographical location that I am at for a reason. I want you to become a dreamer. You see in a democracy everybody has an opinion, everybody has a vote and everybody has a say. In a theocracy God is the supreme civil leader. When it comes to the call that God has placed on your life, it was placed there by a theocracy by God alone. So quit living your life as a democracy where everybody has a saying in your life in pulls you ever which way they can. Now is the time in this book when we are going to talk about you and your personal relationship with Jesus Christ, God the father and the blessed Holy Ghost. What is the Lord speaking over your life today and for the rest of your life?

Zephaniah 3:17 says, The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He would take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you was singing. My wife and I have this verse right beside our bed on a huge canvas. Each night I look at this and quote this Scripture out loud and say God as I sleep tonight I want you to singing over me. What is a loving father going to sing over his children? The promises, purpose, destiny and the dreams that he has for them.

Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. When the Lord declares something over you, there is so much power when God speaks. He is actually speaking something into existence. My God said one time let there be light and there has been light forevermore. When God speaks, it comes into existence and that settles it. The word says I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord. This means he is speaking over your life that his plans are good and he wants to prosper you. He says, I have no harmful plans for you. My thoughts for you are to give you a hope and a future. How do you receive hope from the Lord? You hear from God by wanting to hear his voice about your future.

Always make sure your dream is bigger than your reality! Always make sure your
