It’s never too late to act on your dream.
Keep your eyes on Christ, not the circumstances you find yourself in or the feelings you are experiencing.
God’s power under us, in us, surging through us, is exactly what turns dependence into unforgettable experiences of completeness.
Dependence upon God makes heroes of ordinary people like you and me!
In my experience, God rarely makes our fear disappear. Instead, He asks us to be strong and take courage. What is courage? As Ordinary discovered, courage is not the absence of fear; rather, it’s choosing to act in spite of the fear. You could say that without fear, you can’t have genuine courage.
The most fruitful and the most joy-filled Christians are the most pruned Christians.
God didn’t want me to do more for Him. He wanted me to be more with Him.
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.
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.
Imagine what your life will look like when you have broken the bondage of fear.
Your Father knows your gifts, your hindrances, and the condition you’re in at every moment. And He also knows something you can’t possibly know – every single person who’s in desperate need of receiving His touch through you.
Most of us think our lives are too full already. But when, in faith, you start to pray for more ministry, amazing things occur. As your opportunities expand, your ability and resources supernaturally increase, too. Right away you’ll sense the pleasure God feels in your request and His urgency to accomplish great things through you.
Simply put, God favors those who ask. He holds back nothing from those who want and earnestly long for what He wants.
O God and King, please expand my opportunities and my impact in such a way that I touch more lives for Your glory. Let me do more for You!
The only thing that can break the cycle of abundant living is sin. Sin breaks the flow of God’s power.
When we ask for God’s blessing, we’re not asking for more of what we could get for ourselves.
The better you understand the journey to your Dream and what God is doing in your life, the less likely you are to abandon your Dream.
The most effective war against sin is to pray that we will not have to fight.
A Big Dream always seems overwhelming at first. Ultimately, a Big Dream is aimed at meeting a Big Need in the world. While you still have breath, it’s never too late to act on your Dream!
You see, every Big Dream is initially way beyond your abilities and experience. We all feel Unworthy and Unable to do a Big Dream. But the Bible says, “God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty.”2 God purposely picks Unworthy and Unable Dreamers like you and me!
