It seems like much of the Church, as a whole, has been wrapped up in daily life and circumstances. They've forgotten how to dream. They've been robbed of their ability to dream. People have just stopped dreaming. People have settled. They've settled for a less than or just enough lifestyle.

I hear it all the time, "This is reality," or "I live in reality."
Is that really it?
Is that really what Jesus died on the cross for?
Where is the faith in that?
Did you know...
God called you, his people, his children, to be MORE THAN ENOUGH HEAVEN ON EARTH people?
News flash: HEAVEN ON EARTH IS YOUR REALITY!

Psalms 37:4 says, "Take delight in The Lord and I will give you the desires of your hearts..."
What is "the desires of your hearts"?
Simple. It's your dreams and visions.
Simple. It's your dreams and visions.
First this verse says, "Delight in Lord". Then it says, "AND". Now, we know there is a connection, a condition. "And" is a conjunction. To have one side, means to have the other. To get this, you must do this.
If I just delight in the Lord (meaning if I just become about the things of the Lord), His dreams become my dreams and my dreams become His dreams (as long as they line up with the Word of God). If I take care of God's business. He'll take care of mine. How do I know this? Well, here it is.

Jeremiah 29:11 (MSG) I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out plans to take care of you, not abandon you, PLANS TO GIVE YOU THE FUTURE YOU HOPE FOR.
Another translation, the NIV says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
How I read it, "For I know the dreams I have for you and have placed inside of you, dreams to prosper you and not to harm you, dreams to give you hope, and dreams to become your future."
The dreams He placed inside of me are my reality. The Word of God is my reality. It is an unlimited truth that circumvents and stands above this limited world, and this life.
