Notes
Acts 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
Proverbs 29:18 KJV
Where there is no vision, the people perish.
Remember the saying: “A life is a terrible thing to waste.” The same is true for a person without a dream—without hope, without vision, life loses its purpose and potential.
A dream is a desire, or aspiration that inspires you—something you hope to achieve or experience in the future.
A passionate dream inspires hope.
Without a passionate dream, your life becomes empty and fruitless.
A dream motivates you to get out of bed every day.
A dream drives your plans and orders your steps.
Dreams give you purpose and help you discover why God created you.
A dream inspires discipline and influences your choice of friends and colleagues.
A dream decides whether you need college or no school at all.
It has been said that the poorest person is never the one without wealth, but the person without a dream.
If you are going to live a life filled with purpose, it must include a dream.
A dream is a picture of the life that God has designed specifically for YOU!
There are traces of your destiny found in your history.
Some clues about your calling can be found in your past experiences.
Your challenges, victories, passions, and even setbacks contain valuable lessons and patterns that point toward what you are meant to do.
Dreams begin with God
Every time God personally encounters people in Scripture, He immediately begins to reveal His dream for their lives.
Abraham – a dream to be the Father of many nations
Noah – a dream to build an ark
Moses – a dream to lead a people
Joshua – a dream to finish the legacy of Moses
Matthew - a dream to marry Mary and raise Jesus.
Dreams stretch you
If a dream captures your imagination and inspires you every day of your life, then it’s probably from God
If a dream seems impossible and you are unable to fulfill it on your own, then it’s probably from God
If a dream seems as though it will never come to pass, yet deep down on the inside you’re unwilling to give up on it, then it’s probably from God
If you’ve experienced resistance, difficulty, setbacks, and sometimes frustration over the dream, then it’s probably from God
If the dream seems to consume your thinking, getting bigger and bigger inside you, then it’s probably from God
If the dream seems to define and shape your life, then it’s probably from God
Dreams require faith, courage, and resilience.

One night Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him more than ever.

God gives you a dream by showing you how it ends.
God doesn’t reveal the beginning and middle parts because that’s where He shapes and cultivates you.
Dreams require a departure from your comfort zone.
God’s dream for you will always challenge you to face your fears and trust Him completely.
God normally gives you a dream that is too big to accomplish alone.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
