God Will Restore

Your Dreams!

        Pitch It! 

       You know how we have different dreams for different reasons.  We have the visions of our career and future success.  We have hopes of our relationships and family and health and provision.  There are desires we have for spiritual growth and well-being.  We have dreams of what we believe will give us joy and fulfillment.

       But somehow as we walk out each day of our life, all those things don’t fall into perfect place.  So over time, we may question the reality of our dreams and feel that they have been rejected and therefore refused to us.  When we hit that time and have that feeling in our heart, that’s when we have to allow God to restore our dreams.  He wants those restored so we can see them fulfilled because if we allow them to fall to the wayside or to die, then we’ll miss out on what He can do.  So when you feel that your desire has been refused, you need to toss out the feeling of rejection!  Pitch it.  Chuck rejection out of your emotions and mind.

       No matter what the circumstances indicate or people say or how you even feel at the time, don’t allow rejection to dictate your dreams.  Allow God to dictate them.  He is the One who has the power and the desire to fulfill what’s in your heart.  He is not rejecting you and your dreams.  No, He is fulfilling them!  But for that to happen, you have to keep those alive in your heart.  That’s the only way they can come to pass.

       Think of the man Henry Ford.  He built the highly successful Ford car manufacturing company.  We think of him as always having great ideas and resources and seeing his dream fulfilled.  But did you know Henry Ford went broke five times before he succeeded?  How many times did he have to toss out rejection and allow God to restore his dream?

       Another person who is an inspiration is the famous composer, Beethoven.  As a young man, he began to study under the great composer, Joseph Haydn.  But after awhile the composer felt that his new student was slow and didn’t have talent.  So Beethoven’s composing and music was rejected and the two parted ways.  Hayden said, “Beethoven had never learned anything and would never do anything in a decent style.”  Another teacher took him as a student and he came to the point he also said, “As a composer, he is hopeless.”

       So what did Beethoven do?  He tossed out rejection.  He was not going to give up the dream of his heart.  He worked on his own and by the time he was twenty-eight, he was in Vienna performing piano concerts and not just that, but he was able to sell his compositions to publishers.  He went on to create music that is still considered masterpieces.  He was not just famous but influenced music and composing for the future.

       You know of the man, General Douglas MacArthur, who served so many years in the military and helped to gain victory during wartime in America.  But before he ever did that, he was just trying to get into West Point as a student to be trained, which almost never happened.  His first two attempts to get an appointment were rejected.  If he had held onto those rejections, he may never have been trained to be the General that God had for him to be.  It wasn’t until his third try that he was accepted and then went on to fulfill the dreams he had for his career.

       Now, you may be thinking, I’m not trying to win a war or compose a symphony or build a large car company.  I just want the new home I desire, the change in my health, or to be able to witness to others.  It’s my desire for a better life for my children, my grandchildren.  I want to see the conditions in the community and country change.  I have a goal to start something new, write a book, or see growth in my spiritual life.

       God has placed many different dreams in your heart and He knows that for you to see them fulfilled you’ll have to overcome rejection just as those famous people did.  Nothing big that you want can happen if you don’t keep your dream.  Don’t allow the rejection of your dream to cause you to start rejecting it in your heart and feel that it won’t happen.

       Even Jesus was rejected when He came with a message of spiritual deliverance and salvation.  He became the Cornerstone yet so many rejected Him.  (Ref. Mark 10.)

       You may feel the dreams of your heart have been rejected.  You have been refused.  But God is placing His hand of favor and power on your life.  He is responding to your faith and prayers that your dreams can be fulfilled.  So toss out rejection.  Refuse to be refused.  Know that God can restore your dreams and help you see them fulfilled.  (Jeremiah 30:17.)

A Spiritual Powerline to say out loud:

“MY DREAMS ARE HAPPENING!”

  Here is a powerful prayer
              to say out loud:               
    

      Father, my dreams are in Your hands.  I believe You’re moving as a mighty force to fulfill those.  I watch as they happen by Your power and Your love.  This is exciting!  Finally!  I will see the fulfillment of what You put in my heart.  In the name of Jesus.  Amen.
