Have God Sized Dreams

We do not serve a small time God so why do we put limitations on our hopes and dreams for the future? God doesn't put limits on us. In the Bible we are taught in Philipians 4:13 that we can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthns me. So how dare we put limits on the power of God.

We need to stop asking for him to fulful our dreams and then put limits on it. We need to stop thinking that we are not good enough or smart enough to live whatever it is that we hope and desire to live. In Isaiah 55:11, the word of God says that His word does not come back void. When God created us in Genesis, he created us last because he was saving his best for last.

When we put limitations on ourselves we are giving the devil place in our lives. The devil wants us to believe that we are inferior and we can not live our best life. Stop giving the devil power. Matthew 6:24,You can only serve one master. In Matthew 6:8, "Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him." God knows you better than you know yourself so trust him at all times.

Trust God and delight yourself in God at all times and he will fulful the desires of your heart. Dream big, make big plans, there is nothing that is impossible for God. When you tell yourself that you can not do something, you are tellling God that he is not worthy. Quiting or failing is a permitted response. So do not quit. Give God the plan and let Him work his plan through His Holy Spirit.

When you short change yourself, you short change the power of God.

Allow the Holy Spirit to Operate In Your Life

I can not begin to tell you how important it is that you allow the Holy Spirit into your life. Once you stand up at the alter and give your salvation,it is just the begining. In Isaiah 43:18, the Bible teaches that you must allow the Holy Spirit to come in. You have to be willing to allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your spirit. Let go of your past as you become a new creature in Christ as you renew your mind. As the scripture states, God will make rivers in the desert and ways in the wilderness and even the wild beasts will honor him. God has the answer to every problem, situation, circumstance, trial and tribulation that you can imagine in your wildest dreams. As long as you continue to live according to God, He will show you out of the wilderness.

When we allow our lives to be controlled by our emotions we are headed for disaster. Our emotions are a rollcoaster ride of ups and downs. God is not concerned with our emotions. God's word is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It is unchanging. It is what it is and does not change. The word of the world has many gray areas and changes depending on the situation. There is no grey area when it comes to the word of God. The word is such that there is no question.

If you allow your emotions and intellect to control your mind then you will not be able to rightly divide what is true and what is false. You become subject to falsities, beguiling thoughts, false prophets, and give the devil a footing in your life. You must ask that the Holy Spirit to take over and speak to your spirit.

Once you do this,then the Holy Spirit will guide, direct, and teach you according to the word of God. Trust in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. In Isaiah 55:8-9, the Bible teaches that God's thoughts are not our thoughts and God's ways are not our ways. Therefore, we are to keep God's thoughts and ways and not our own. We can only do this if we allow the Holy Spirit in to our lives. Isaiah 55:11 KJV So shall my word goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Trust in His word and remain steadfast in seeking a relationship with Jesus. Allow the Holy Spirit in your life.
