I believe that there is nothing more dangerous to a man than living a life without dreams. So many give up their dreams so easily because other belittle them but remember that people that put down your dreams are just small minded people. If you have no hope in the future then you will have no power in the present. God gives you and I the dreams not only for us but so in due time we can help other people and many times our dreams completed end up helping the very people that belittled our dreams. Joseph was a dreamer and his family put him down and sold him off but in the end he was the rescuer for his family. The church needs to be filled with leaders that will dream and dream big. I know that Satan hates our salvation, our walk with God, our praise and worship but what he hates more than anything is a dreamer.
Gloria Steinem: Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
If our churches are to grow then there must be a dreamer so that we are not just shooting aimlessly at the future but aim high and shoot straight so that we can accomplish what God has put in our spirit. There are to many CEREAL Christians laying in the bottom of the bowl soaking up the milk. We need Christians that dreaming and seeking for more.

Mark,
This article sorta caught me at the perfect time. As you well know, mine has been an incredible faith journey over the past five years. I am continuing to grow through following my dreams. I am never afraid to trust an instinct and make a career move and God has blessed me abundantly in so doing. God is faithful, and a rewarder to those that diligently seek Him. I recommend to all giving the first fruits back to God, as He rejoices in seeing our obedience to him. I truly believe that is the first step in anyone’s growth to Trusting, and considering the Lilly.

i agree with everything we need dreams. just because someone may not understand your dream in life or agree or think it cant happen dosent mean you should stop, with Gods help anything is possible.
