Is there something in your heart you’ve dreamed of happening? There is something you want to receive or accomplish. You know it’s supposed to be a part of you, but seeing it fulfilled has become a different story. There doesn’t appear to be much possibility that dream will happen.
Things happen to try to bring you to the point that you say, “I had a dream once, but….” Don’t come to the point you allow it to end there. Way too many more possibilities are still out there for you to see it come to pass.
There is still time and ability to see that project completed, to see that marriage turn around, that family member. You can still go after the wisdom you desire, that growth in God. The health you desire or those finances that are needed or the resources to help you. The problem that seems unsolvable just appears that way. There are so many possibilities to solve it. You can use your gifts and abilities, be married, have a family, make that purchase that you need.
Whatever kind of dream you have, go after it, in spite of not seeing how it can happen now. Instead of saying, “I had a dream once,” you’re saying, “I still have a dream and I know it’s coming to pass.”
The man Caleb in the Bible is the one who set a great example for us. Nothing could stop him from going after his dream and seeing it happen. Caleb was the man who was part of the group that spied out the place of promise that God said He would give to all the Israelites who had come out of Egyptian bondage. Now notice that this is a place of PROMISE. When God promises something, He delivers when we believe. Just as He will for you.
The land would produce great and abundant fruit and crops. It was going to be a great life. However, when Moses led the Israelites out of bondage and they were about to go into this new place that was their dream, one thing stood in their way. There were enemies who were already in that area. They must be defeated so the Israelites could take over. That was God’s plan and He would make sure they would be victorious. But even when we know we can be victorious, what we see can make us take a step backwards. We become afraid or intimidated to go after it.
When Moses and the people approached the place, and they were right at the edge of their dream, Moses said, The Lord God has given us this land. Go and possess it as He told us to. Don’t be afraid! Don’t even doubt! He’s saying, “You’re on the edge of your dream. Now go after it. It’s time to possess what God has for you.” (Ref. Deuteronomy 1:19 TLB.)
Those are important words for your life. You’re on the EDGE OF YOUR DREAM. I mean you’re there. You can see it. You can smell it. You can just about touch it. All you have to do is go in after it and possess it. Don’t be afraid. Don’t even doubt.
But the people were afraid to move ahead and defeat their enemies because they seemed so big. Moses tried to convince them that they would see mighty miracles if they would go after it, but nothing he said worked. So they walked. They walked away from the edge of their dream. Oh, they were so near it.
Don’t walk away from your dream. Go in after it. God has promised that in spite of how big the enemy appears or how big the obstacles are He will still make sure you receive what He promised.
Even though that generation never went into the place of promise, Caleb still believed. Years after this, a new generation was raised up and they saw the possibilities of that dream still coming to pass. Caleb didn’t say, “I had a dream once, but….” He didn’t believe that too many years had gone by and so he had missed his opportunity. Instead, he went after his dream.
He went to Joshua and reminded him of how he had been promised a section of the property for himself and his descendants. He was still ready to go after his dream. He said he had been strong and he could still fight. So Joshua blessed him and gave it to him. Just as Caleb said, he defeated the enemy and was able to live out his dream.
God wants you to be able to live out your dream. In spite of interruptions or how big the problems seem, you have a promise from God. Go after that dream and realize you have more possibilities now to see it happen.
Spiritual Powerline to say out loud:
“I HAVE A DREAM AND IT WILL HAPPEN!”
