And, if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives within you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life even to your mortal bodies, through his Spirit living within you.
Romans 8:11 (OEB)
This week, I want to do something a little bit different and lead you in an exercise of dreaming big.
This is an exercise in Faith, Hope, Power, and Truth.
Pause your reading for a moment and mediate on those words.
Faith.
Hope.
Power.
Truth.
Sit in a calm and quiet place. If you can't physically be in a calm and quiet place, let the quiet come from within. Find a moment to be still amidst chaos.
Once in a calm headspace, I want you to dream big. Think of an impossible vision or goal. For your life, someone else's life, the world. Anything. It just has to be big.
Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.
Proverbs 29:18 (ESV)
Dream the most impossible dream.
What do you want to see come to pass?
And, if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives within you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life even to your mortal bodies, through his Spirit living within you.
Romans 8:11 (OEB)
Most dreams die because of fear.
For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice (fear), but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7 (OEB)
You were given not a spirit of fear, but the spirit that raised Christ from the dead.
And, if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives within you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life even to your mortal bodies, through his Spirit living within you.
Romans 8:11 (OEB)
Dream bigger, see farther.
Have Faith for bigger.
Hope for more.
Be emboldened by the Power of God's spirit within you.
Truth is limitless.
You are Love.
