Title: Dream
Big In The Will Of God

Hello
My Friend,

Believe, having faith in something so much
that you know it must be true and right. Everyone believes in
something, but not everything we believe in is true. Some people
believe in something so much, even when it's not true that they make
up their own fantasy land. The problem with fantasies is that they
are just that, make believe, and no matter how much we try to make
fantasies realities, they are just not going to happen. Now, for the
good news, we can dream, and we can dream big, and if we believe that
all things are possible with God than those dreams will become
realities. “And this is the confidence that
we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he
heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we
know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” - 1
John 5:14,15.

“according to his
will, he heareth us” Here lies the key to every single thing
that we ask of God, according to His will, He hears us, if what we
are asking is in His will for us, than we will get it. How do we know
if we are asking for something in the will of God. Just think about
it, does it line up with His Word? First are far most if we desire
anything from God, we must be saved. God will not hear us if we are
not saved. The Gospel of John fills in all the all the blanks left
behind from the other three, one of them is John's, he preached the
same message as Jesus, but man did not want to hear that message.
John the Baptist sums it all up, believe in the Son. “He
that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is
earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is
above all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and
no man receiveth his testimony. He that hath received his testimony
hath set to his seal that God is true. For he whom God hath sent
speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure
unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into
his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he
that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.” - John 3:31-36.

“He
that cometh from above is above all” We must believe that
Jesus has the upper hand in everything, if we are His, than we are
sealed anything we ask in His will we will get. Many times, God will
give us challenges to see if we are going to stick it out or walk
away and move on to something else. If we are living a pretty godly
life and walking with Jesus than we can expect some challenges, we
need to be sure of two things, is God's hand in it, and is it
something we really want. If we can answer yes to both of those
questions than we are on our way to receiving what we are asking.
Keep in mind also that what every we ask God wants the glory. “But
my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by
Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:19.

Now, we may be
saved and living a pretty godly life, but something still seems off
key with God. We see our dreams, they are right there in the
distance, but we can't reach them, we try everything, but we can't
seem to get close enough to grab on to it. What do we do? We tell
people about Jesus. Remember, faith without works is dead, but it's
God's work that we may be lacking in, most of all telling the lost
about His Son. The Gospel of John also introduces the entire world to
Jesus, not just the Jews, the Romans, or the Greeks, but all people.
As Jesus was passing through Samaria, he ran into a woman at a well.
She had heard of Jesus, but discovered that He was right there in
front of her. Not only did she get saved, she ran in to town and told
everyone else about Him.

“The
woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and
saith to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever
I did: is not this the Christ? Then they went out of the city, and
came unto him. And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on
him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that
ever I did. So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought
him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. And
many more believed because of his own word; And said unto the woman,
Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him
ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of
the world.” - John 4:28-30.39-42.

“Now
we believe, not because of thy saying” Let me tell you, we
can get saved, but it can be years before we realize exactly what it
means to fully receive Christ as our Saviour. I can always relate to
the woman at the well because she had a past and it didn't matter,
Jesus accepted her anyway. If we are going to dream big we need to
make sure that Christ is the center of it, most of all that we are
telling others about Him. You know, we don't have to quote a bunch of
Scripture, just let Christ shine through you and when He does they
will see Him and then they will believe in the Scriptures. “So
then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
- Romans 10:17.

Speaking of Scripture, not everyone
believes or they choose what they believe and try to ignore the rest.
Perhaps part of the reason that we do not see our dreams coming true
is that we are not following Scripture. Okay, we see Jesus separating
Himself apart from the Jews once again, yes, He descended through the
flesh of David's as man, making Him through mans eyes a Jew, but He
was technically now a Jew. Jesus speaking to the unbelievers, reminds
them that He's in all the Scriptures.

“Search
the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they
are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye
might have life. I receive not honour from men. But I know you, that
ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father's name,
and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye
will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of
another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Do not
think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that
accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed
Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye
believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?”
- John 5:39-47.

“Search the
scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life”
It drives me crazy when people tell me that not everything in the
Bible is for us, that we are to only follow certain parts of it.
Okay, do they not realize that the New Testament mirrors the Old?
Everything that was said after Jesus came, died, was buried, arose,
and ascended up to heaven was already said before He came here. While
we are not subject to the laws of Moses, as we are saved by faith,
but the same blood still applies. All Scripture is to be used for us
to truly know God's ways and what He wants for us. As we study the
Scriptures we learn His will, as we learn His will we can ask
anything in the name of Jesus and it will be done in His time. “All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly
furnished unto all good works.” - 2 Timothy
3:16,17.

Today's Prayer:
God, I know it can be hard at times to see the path of my dreams
coming true with the clutter of my doubts, fears, and questions.
Lord, You are the Light that banishes the clutter, shine Your Light
on me, lead me and guide me in Your will and Your ways, help me to
see Your Light through all the clutter and chaos that is constantly
trying to keep me in the dark, and keep me on that path to Your will
and seeing my dreams come true. I love You Lord and ask these things
in Jesus' name. Amen.

God Bless You, I am praying for
you,
Christina
