You must be dreaming?
Oral Roberts used to use a chorus that some detested, ‘Expect a miracle every day, Expect a miracle when you pray, If you expect it God will find a way, To perform a miracle for you each day.’
What are you expecting or dreaming about for God to do in your life today?
Maybe it's for your church, maybe it's for someone else, or maybe it's for a need that's present in your own life that needs to be addressed today!
“We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28, NIV)
No matter what you may be facing, no matter what trial you may be going through, no matter what the accuser may saying over and over to you about how things look.
God has a plan to turn things around in your favor! (Jerm. 29:11)
Your friends and all of society may have written you off as down and out, but God still says that you are up and coming. He is working on your behalf to change the description of your situation to read, "the comeback kid!"
Doesn’t matter where you’ve been, or what you have done, God never quits working His plan in your life. He is at work for us, right to the last moments of our lives.
Luke 23:39-43 MSG.
39. One of the criminals hanging alongside cursed him: "Some Messiah you are! Save yourself! Save us!"
40-41. But the other one made him shut up: "Have you no fear of God? You're getting the same as him. We deserve this, but not him— he did nothing to deserve this."
42. Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you enter your kingdom."
43. He said, "Don't worry, I will. Today you will join me in paradise."
That mans whole life could probably have been a lot easier, then the life he chose to live. We could all say that with conviction. The moment he started to focus on what JESUS could do for him, instead of what he could do, he started to experience the abundant life. (Repeat the last line)
Logic would suggest, that he probably had had several opportunities to do right, before the last one Jesus gave him. But only faith in Jesus, brought him victory in the end!
And what an ending he had! God worked all the things he had done, good and bad together and somehow still good came out in the end, when the man asked for forgiveness and cast his love for Jesus.
In the natural it may be confusing and chaotic sometimes,
but in Gods realm of the supernatural, its not that way,
He has everything under control, He is working behind the scenes, and He is working for your good all the time!
Are you a believer in Jesus? Do you love Him?
Then you are called according to His purposes.
The thief on the cross could've thought what can I do, but in the end he changed his thinking to what CAN I do! And the end result was hope for all of humanity!
In this walk and relationship with God, through Christ Jesus,
Will there be some wrong turns along the way, more than less most likely,
Probably even a few U-turns along the way,
a few impossible doors to open, by Gods design,
and then again multiple doors along the way, That His favor will open easily for you,
when nothing else would have ever been able to open them at all!
If you have been praying about a certain situation, keep the faith, the light at the end of the tunnel is closer and brighter than you think!
Right now, He is orchestrating the right people to come across your path.
There is nothing to hard for God, when it comes to working His plan for your life
Ephesians 3:20 MSG.
20. God can do anything, you know— far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
“in your wildest dreams,” I believe that’s no exaggeration, and you must believe it too!
TBS let your faith arise and let your enemies be SCATTERED!
Not OMG there they are again!
Don't get caught up in only believing the possibilities of what you have seen in the past! Because no matter where you are at in life, He wants you to dream bigger than your efforts are capable of bringing to the table.
If you never dream bigger than what your capabilities are, then you will never receive more than what you're able to deliver your self. However if you willing to BELIEVE in the God of all possibilities and set the bar above what you can do!
He will do things in your life you never could've have imagined, even in your wildest dreams!
We need to realize its not about our capabilities, it never has been and if where going to see our dreams come to fruition, it never will be. We need to set the self capability mindset aside and from here to eternity, just focus on what JESUS wants, and is capable of doing in our lives!
Don't let the devil steal one more second of Gods plans for your life from you!
Realize that if God put something down in your heart, a desire that He gave you,
At that very moment, He started working behind the scenes to make it happen and has never quit working either.
You say well a long time ago I wanted to do this,
Or I once had a dream to be a?
God hasn’t forgotten, not one time has he forgotten,
and there have probably been many missed opportunities along the way,
And I’m sure, even though some would never be willing to admit it!
we could all say yes, to that one!
But never once has He given up trying to help you bring about His best in your life!
Right now, He is directing and constantly redirecting the right opportunities to open up to you. And will continue until you reach the promised land, He has waiting for you,
Josephs journey from the prison to the palace, was no overnight success story,
Some would think it was a long hard road, but Joseph would tell you a different story,
He would tell you, it was one that took him down Gods favor supernatural highway! All the way to his destination, just liked he dreamed it would happen.
Where there bumps and detours along the way?, Yep!
Do you suppose there were times he got tired?
Do you suppose there were times the devil tried to discourage him?
I'm sure he was aware of everything the devil threw at him! He was also aware that God was bigger than any obstacle or set back and everyone of them would eventually be a set up, for a comeback!
And every one of them, ending up being a bigger faith building experience, than the one before! God is faithful! Amen??
Right now, know that He is arranging things in your favor, good things.
You may not see it in the natural, but look with your eyes of faith today.
Trust and know that He is guiding you, each and every step you take.
And know that its not a matter of if, His blessings will come pouring into your life, but only when they will,
And until then,
Keep standing,
Keep believing,
Keep hoping,
Keep thanking Him and declaring His Word
and meditating on His goodness that He wants to give to you,
knowing that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Amen?
Illus. Ephesians 3:20 from the easy to read bible
What can you imagine? How big can you think? God still thinks bigger. He plans better. He accomplishes more. Already He’s at work inside you and me—all of us. Do you want to ask Him for something? Ask big because you’re dealing with a big God.
How do you want to make your world a better place? What dreams has God put inside your heart? Who do you want to take to heaven with you? Unleash your imagination! Start dreaming! Ask and keep on asking, and see what God will do for you.
Let's pray
