“I know God’s given you dreams — He’s put them on your heart in a way you can’t deny. You may not have told anyone. You may have thought it was too big to happen.

But I want you to realize that God hasn’t given up on those dreams and you don’t have to either.

I’ve never heard of one story where God gave a dream and fulfilled it on the same day.

God has designed life with seasons and processes — each step along the way does something unique that builds our faith and causes us to step out and trust Him.

God came to Abraham in Genesis 12 and promised not just to bless him, but to bless ALL the people of the earth through Him. In Genesis 15 Abraham is struggling to believe these incredible promises so God does something amazing that I want you to notice.

“Then the Lord took Abram outside and said to him, ‘Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have!’ ” (Genesis 15:5 NLT)

God wasn’t just making promises to Abraham — He was teaching him how to dream. God knew if Abraham could see it…then he could dream it.

And just like He called Abraham to look up and see it — He’s making that same promise to you today.

God wants to teach you the same process He taught Abraham under that beautiful star-filled sky.

First you dream it…Then you believe it…Then you live it…

The first step is to get a vision. The next step is to trust Him. Then finally you take a step of faith and live out what God has promised, no matter what your circumstances, your friends, your worries or the enemy is telling you.

Victoria and I want you to know that God loves you generously and abundantly, and as a loving Father, He’s impressed and honored when His children dream bold, supernatural dreams. I believe we bless God when we dream big.

Remember, it’s never too late for God to move in your life. Step out in faith today!”

Psalms 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

There is nothing wrong with having an abundant supply of money. There is something wrong when God is not loved with all of our heart, soul and mind though. Money is not evil. However, the love of money is evil. Is God really the Lord of your life?

Psalms 36:7 How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!

With God all things are possible, not so with money or human interventions. When we are up against something that money cannot fix that’s when the value of a miracle working God is priceless. When all hope is gone from what earthly things can provide, there’s is still hope to be found through trusting God.

Would you rather have an angel of the Lord appear in your room or a million dollars? Would you rather receive divine healing from a terminal illness or be handed a million dollars?

A line from one of my all time favorite songs says: “for a day in your presences is far better to me than gold or living my whole life somewhere else.”

In the light and glory of God’s love the value of earthly things grow strangely dim.

It’s been my experience that the more I read God’s word, pray and seek to know him, the easier it is to trust the Lord. Jesus reveals himself when we seek the Lord first in our lives.

This whole thing works like a close friendship. It takes time to develop a solid friendship and know that you can trust someone. The same applies to having a relationship with God.

Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

The more he reveals himself to us, the easier it is to trust him. When we have a few supernatural events occur that only God could have done, then it becomes easier to have faith during rough times.

Once a few prayers are answered, we realize that God is listening.

Basically, it all comes down to just making a decision to put our lives into God’s hands and trust that the Lord is working things out. It’s just a split second decision to believe or not believe that the Lord reigns.

It has been my experience that when the Lord does some thing great it happens out of His love for me. It is simply his divine favor lavished on my life. As I  purpose to follow Jesus daily, things have a way of working out in God’s timing.

2 Corinthians 2:14  But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

As the scripture declares, we become misted with the aroma of God. This happens in order for us to be a testimony to those around us. As the Lord causes us to triumph, people around us get to see the mighty things that only God could have made happen in our lives.

Trust the Lord today. He always causes us to triumph. In Romans 8 we read that God is working “all” things for good. Be steadfast in your faith; he has promised to finish what he started in your life. Place your hope in God and watch the supernatural become a reality in order for you to be the fragrance of Christ to those around you.
