I. How does God do it?

• He invites ordinary people to dream something so great that it would be impossible if God did not do it.

The basis of sanctified dreaming:

1. God is able. --Jeremiah 32:17; Luke 1:37
2. God is desirous. --1 Corinthians 2:9
3. God has promised. --Psalm 37:4
4. God invites us. --Psalm 2:8; John 14:12-14

II. How God births dreams in His people?

• Abram – He commands us to step out of our “comfort zone.”
• Joseph – He puts a dream within our heart.
• Moses – He allows us to fail in our attempt to accomplish His dreams in our own power.
• David – He teaches us through adversity to love the “Dream-giver” more than “the dreams.”
• Paul – He clarifies our calling in times of crisis and often uses our worst failures as the platform of His future fulfillment.
• Jesus – The dream will cost us our life and appear to others as the height of folly just before God accomplishes the impossible through us.

III. How to develop bite-sized dreams for...

• Your life
• Your marriage
• Your children
• Your career
• Your ministry

IV. The process:

• Write it down and then read it over regularly
• Pray over your dreams
• Look for God’s intervention and direction
