Put Your Dreams To The Test (Intro+Chapter 1)

Dr. John Maxwell defines dreams as an inspiring picture of the future that energizes your mind, will, and emotions, empowering you to do something you can to achieve it. I am reminded of moments that I enjoyed while embracing the dreams that I am currently pursuing, dreams that will allow me to increase community development through evangelism and entrepreneurship. I remember my smiles, the joy that was imparted, the drive that was provoked, and the sense of confidence and courage to approach a calling that is far greater than myself.

I want to thank God for the dream he has given me. I am so grateful that he would empower me to speak out my mouth for the manifestation of things in my spirit and for the intellect to write the vision. God is so awesome in that he speaks to us and inspires an imagination.

God has created a field for our imaginations. In Genesis 2:19-20, the bible says the Lord formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: and Adam gave them names. Just as Adam demonstrated, we all are blessed with a degree of imagination to perceive and name what he the Lord has provided.

Some people pursue dreams that have been conceived with little effort. Others are inspired by dreams that are experienced after several attempts toward success in different areas. Arnold Schwarzenegger is living out the life that he dreamed and shared with others in his youth. He practiced to play several instruments under his parents conviction. Then he tried sports. While playing soccer, his coach asked him to lift weights for conditioning. Finally Schwarzenegger found his passion and the rest is history. By being obedient, Arnold come into a meaningful life that he is committed to and enthusiastic about. After much investment in his strengths; California now has a governor that can barely speak English.

If you find your passion, investment in your dreams, and work on your strengths, your weaknesses can't stop you from seeing your dreams come to past with the Lord on your side.
