The journey toward your Big Dream changes you. In fact, the journey itself is what prepares you to succeed at what you were born to do. And until you decide to pursue your Dream, you are never going to love life the way you were meant to.
Everyone has a dream deep in their heart, which is a center of what they want to do. If they had all the money, and they had the time and they were guaranteed that they'd be successful, that dream is what they would love to do.
Imagine what your life will look like when you have broken the bondage of fear.
If your life consistently bears no fruit, God will intervene to discipline you. If your life bears some fruit, God will intervene to prune you. If your life bears a lot of fruit, God will invite you to abide more deeply with Him.
As God’s chosen, blessed sons and daughters, we are expected to attempt something large enough that failure is guaranteed…unless God steps in.
God didn’t want me to do more for Him. He wanted me to be more with Him.
If people are not sharing their faith in your church, if they're not having a quiet time, if they're not living godly lives, then you need to change your style of preaching. You are obviously not seeing lives changed through the Word of God. So what is the problem? The problem isn't the Word. The problem is your preaching style.
Our dreams, like the disciples’, are always too small. We are here to fulfill God’s dream—that we will bring Him glory through a remarkably abundant life. That’s how we find our greatest personal fulfillment, now and for eternity.
The most fruitful and the most joy-filled Christians are the most pruned Christians.
Dependence upon God makes heroes of ordinary people like you and me!
God's power under us, in us, surging through us, is exactly what turns dependence into unforgettable experiences of completeness.
It's never too late to act on your dream
What counts is knowing who you want to be and asking for it.
Keep your eyes on Christ, not the circumstances you find yourself in or the feelings you are experiencing.
