Day 9 of 10 Days of Prayer, Dream
Day 9 of 10 Days of Prayer, Dream
By: Pastor Karl Thomas
We just began a new series at Impact. We want you to dream again. Dream bigger and risk more!
God is confident that He can partner with us to bring his eternal purpose into manifestation: The Earth Filled With His Glory.
We have to embrace the yes of God and align our dreams with His.
2 Corinthians 1-20 NIV “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God”
You can unmistakably know the will of God for your life!
God works nothing that is specific to your life without your involvement.
God has an amazing plan for your life.
Jeremiah 29-11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
Tommy Barnett
Looking back over all your years of ministry what would you do different? “I would dream bigger and I would risk more!”
A dreamless life is a dangerous thing!
Donʼt be a dreamer be possessed by a dream.
No hope in the future means no power in the present.
Genesis 37-5 “Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more.”
You must have a dream!
5 Things A Dream Will Do:
1. Distinguish You
People who are possessed by a dream stand out.
Colonel Sanders Thomas Edison Wilbur and Orville Wright Dick Fosbury
2. Release Your Potential
Genesis 15-5 “Then He brought him outside and said, ‘Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.ʼ”
Some species of fish are limited by the aquarium size.
3. Energizes You
Acts 26-19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,…”
People pursuing a dream are exciting to be around.
4. Attitude Alignment
Philippians 4-13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Mission Control — “Columbia, your attitude is perfect.” You breakthrough resistance. You enter new realms.
5. Motivate You
1 Samuel 17-36, 48 “Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them … David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. ”
Germany Experiment: Rats that had to pursue food lived longer.

A pastor friend sent this to me this morning. I love this image of “standing at the portal!”
Father, expand our portal to dream big, pray much and expect exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think…in Jesus’ name!
He will never fail us,
He will not forsake;
His eternal covenant
He will never break!
Resting on His promise,
What have we to fear?
God is all-sufficient
For the coming year.
