Are you willing to FIGHT for your Dream?

Never forget that “Difficulties” are a part of pursuing your dreams. I don’t know anyone who had their dreams handed to them on a silver platter. Those who have crossed over into their promises have had to fight with the faith the entire way to their Victory.

 

There are some basic premises that happen when people PURSUE their dreams.

David was a man who was hand-picked to be the King of Israel. He started out as a shepherd boy but God saw a King. David one day encounters a bear and then a lion, but neither one shook him up to the point that he was ready to give in and quit.

Why did God allow those beasts to come his way? What God was really doing was preparing him for his future. You may not realize it, but the difficulty you are going through today is what is preparing you for your future. God was using a bear and a lion as a warm-up for David to fight a giant named Goliath, This dude was somewhere between 9 and 11 feet tall! To consider tangling with such a massive man without God’s favor was crazy. But David knew that God’s hand of blessing was upon his life; God was getting him ready for his lifelong dream.
      Just before the showdown, King Saul attempted to give David his own weaponry. But David refused such a thought knowing that he had never used those weapons. But he said “I have a God who will fight for me to overcome this evil giant who has defied the Name of our God.”

David faced Goliath with FAITH in his heart and overcame all the negative voices that were around him. He pulled out his sling with five stones, but all it took was one rock to take the massive giant down. He finished the job by using Goliath’s own sword and cut his head off.

The next struggle would be from the jealousy in the heart of King Saul and then the betrayal of his son Absalom. What would be next? How can I keep pressing towards my dream?

Friend, why are you allowing your despair and difficulty to hinder you from your path and trajectory to victory? With every Vision there is a valley, but beyond the valley is a great Victory. Any dream I’ve ever accomplished in the Kingdom of God has always, always faced difficulties. Why would we think that we could take a less easy path than the patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac or Jacob? Or the prophets like Elijah or Elisha. Each of these men faced enormous difficulties in reaching the DREAMS in their life.

Years ago God gave me a personal word in one of my own difficulties.  God said “Danny, It is better to wrestle with your struggle than to wrestle with the regret that you quit.” Keep pressing friend, God hasn’t forgotten the dream that He has birthed within you and He is able to bring to pass everything He has spoken. Paul says, “Let us not be weary in well doing for in due season you shall reap if you faint not.” (Galatians 6:9)
