Greetings and Happy New Year!
Every thing that has been invented, built or made better started with a dream...then became a determined thought...and before the first nail was driven or the first screw was turned they had a mental thought of how their dream would manifest.
I had a conversation with a friend the other day and he was telling me about starting a church that would have thirty thousand members and he was already planning to plant churches in other areas...that is mental mapping...that is making room for God's vision to grow.
There will be some who will try to deter you from your dream...they will have many reasons why you will fail. Well...first we should be careful sharing our dreams...you remember the story of Joseph. Not everyone will be excited about your dreams.
"The more you walk by faith the more you will hear from the doubters...also remember that it is the person who has never done anything who is sure nothing can be done". (Jesse Duplantis)
It is not that they are so sure you will not succeed...they are confident they would not succeed. Even spirit filled...God fearing folks will not embrace your dreams...we have to be careful linking our faith with others.
Not everyone who sits next to you in church has the depth to believe with or for you. I am firm believer that we should only share our requirements for healing with those whose faith is as strong or stronger than ours...otherwise their lack of faith could release words into the atmosphere that would delay or prevent our healing. Again, seek God before sharing your dreams with others.
As long as we are alive we should be dreaming and mentally mapping out our plans to carry out the dream.
I am confident my friend will have a church that will sit thirty thousand or more people. I can see it happening...right now he does not have a member, building or an organization...but we both know the dream will manifest...because God can do anything!
Do not be afraid to dream and begin the mental mapping of the dream...use wisdom when you share it. Remember many great things have been done on this earth and not all those people got a nod of approval when they shared their dreams with others.
Do not let others dismiss your dream...resist falling into the trap of natural thinking and fleshly attitudes
I encourage you to dream about your marriage being restored...being improved...or you children and love ones coming to the Lord...your family being healed...you being healed...your financial issues improving...your job opportunities increasing...see it done...confess it...believe it and it will be so!
Blessings
Paul
