Dreams Becoming Reality Proverbs 29:18
Dr. John Maxwell says, “At some point you have to make a transition from believer of the dream, to buyer of the dream. No dream comes true without somebody paying for it. And part of the price you will have to pay is in learning from the mistakes you make. You can attend every success seminar, read every success manual and follow every success mentor, but the price must always be paid in messes and mistakes. There isn’t a single person in the world who has achieved anything without paying a price for it. Some pay with their lives or their freedom. Others pay by giving up options or finances or relationships. But one way or another, everybody pays.”
Proverbs 29:18NKJ Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.
Proverbs 29:18TM If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed.

Can I tell you: 1.The dream is before us. (Souls) 2. The dream begins with you. 3.The dream is reality.
Jesus said these words about harvest (Souls) John 4:35NKJ Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
This event probably occurred in Dec. or Jan. four months until the normal spring harvest (Mid April). The fields were green with new growth popping up; however, Jesus say’s to His disciples, “don’t see just the tender plants look close spiritually and see the mature harvest!”
Proverbs 29:18NLT When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful.
This text looks at the lack of God’s word, belief in God’s word and the lack of hearing God’s word which leads to rebellion. However, the proverb then contracts the joy and glory of a visionary people!
While traveling to Coker Creek yesterday I looked over to my right while at a Red light and watched while a large cat was stalking his next victim coming out of a large drain pipe. (Most likely a mouse) The thought came to me, “This cat had made a short term goal.”
This rock came out of Barney Creek yesterday, those 8 men and women had no idea that they would be the beginning of a movement of 8 million strong today!
Are you ready for this dream to become a reality?
