When
I was sixteen years old, I met the most beautiful girl I had ever met in my
life. She was quite a catch; I knew I had to play it very cool and calm to ever
attract someone like her. After 3 months, one day she came right out and asked
me, “When are you going to ask me out”? I almost fainted from her bold move.
Well, three years later she walked down the aisle as we were married and thirty-eight
years later we have a GOD DREAM marriage that He put together.
What
are you doing today to make a move on your dream? Is it your dream to be
a teacher, fireman, lawyer, doctor, preacher, housewife, or a mom with four kids? I’m convinced that many folks
miss their dreams because they haven’t done anything to prepare
themselves for their dream.
When
Joshua was very young, he made a move toward his God given dream. As a leader
he believed that Israel was more than able to go in and possess the land
that God had ordained. It was only an eleven day journey from Egypt to the
Promised Land, but ten doubters stopped the entire dream from happening.
Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a
rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Several
things will ATTACK your making a move on your dream. First, “DOUBT” is a major
weapon that Satan uses to stop people like the ten spies from making
preparations for their dream.
Hell
says, “You can’t be a Pilot, Nurse, Judge, Veterinarian or an Orthodontist. You’re not smart enough;
you don’t have the money to go to college or to put your first book into print.
You just don’t have what it takes” Hell attacks you with doubt, doubt and MORE
doubt.
Mark Twain said "Twenty years from now,
you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did
do."
Why
don’t you begin to use your FAITH as you make a move on your dream? One day, I
really did have my first date with my now wife Von Nell. Was I scared and nervous
with sweaty palms? You better believe I was. But like John Wayne once said, “Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway.”
When are you going to ‘saddle up’ and make a move on your pilot’s license, that
home you have believed for, the dream job? Quit allowing the devil’s doubts to
overwhelm you. Choose today to FEED your Faith and STARVE your doubts. You will
be amazed what the Lord will do as YOU make the move on your dream.
Revelation 3:8 says; "I
know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can
close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me.”
Joshua eventually walked through that open door all because he never quit. What
are you doing today to make preparations for the GOD- Given desires and dreams
HE has placed in your heart? Have you made your first move yet?
