What do you do with a God sized dream?
How do you wrap your head around a vision from God that seems virtually impossible?
These are questions I’m turning over in my head. Like Mary pondering on the fate of her Son, I’m holding these things in my heart…wondering.
God has given me a vision for how the book I’ve written is to be used. When I was writing the book, I had the audience in mind. I could see myself sharing portions of the book at book club meetings, parenting seminars and at churches. Then God jarred me. In a vision so clear and complete, He showed me a BIGGER picture. He showed me His target audience for the book and told me the way we could go about reaching this audience.
And what did this girl do with that visitation from God? In a nanosecond I shot it down. I know, I know. I wish I could tell you I was faith filled and revved up. But it was more like doubt-FULL and faith-LESS.
You see this vision would take Jesus right into the marketplace. No separation of church and state. No way. The Lord said, “You’ll be bring me into secular environments.” And again in my limited “seeing” all I could picture was doors slamming in my face and rejection by way of “No!”, “No!” and yet another “No!”.
Then He washed over me with sweet assurance . In His gentle yet firm way He brought to my remembrance this powerful truth, The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters, Psalm 24:1-2
He also reminded to not to be intimidated by the establishment for He’s in charge of them too. The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes, Proverbs 21:1
So what do you do with that God sized dream?
How do you wrap your head around that vision?
Please don’t do what I did that first time. [bctt tweet=”God wants to water your mustard seed faith. ” username=”inspiredfully”]
You allow God to water your faith by simply giving Him your YES . Thereafter, each time He tells you to move, you move. He is faithful to give grace for each step of the journey. Like Michael Jackson in Billie Jean, each step you take toward pursuing your God dream will be illuminated. His word is the lamp to your feet and the light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Confidently place your trust in the One who knows all, sees all and holds it all in the palm of His hand. Catch the vision and move.
You think this world is in chaos? Obey so He can bring order.
Are you concerned about the world your children will inherit? Obey so that your children’s children receive their generational inheritance.
Don’t like what you see happening in the news? Pray so that His kingdom come and will be done HERE as in heaven.
You see, He’s waiting for us to be His hands and feet in the earth so that He can MOVE. There’s nothing too hard for Him. But He would like for us to partner with Him.
Your God sized dream and your God vision are really quite doable. With God, all things are possible.
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
As always, it is my prayer that you’ve been Inspired To Live Fully!

I’ve got dreams so ridiculously big and a heart full of doubts. But I continue to hang on to His promises. 🙂
Lux,
I pray you are taking small steps DAILY to bring the dreams to fruition. When they are God dreams, He will make provision for them to come to pass. But we must do our part 🙂
The phrase “marketplace evangelist” comes to mind and “regaining the 7 mountains of culture for the glory of the Lord.” Praying for you as you step out in faith.
Kelly Kelly Kelly. This is a prophetic word that IMMEDIATELY stirred my spirit. With tears in my eyes I confirm that He’s specifically called me to bring this into 3 of the 7 (family, education system & government social services). I was hesitant to even mention these in the original post of out fear. I thank you for your obedience to share and for following the holy spirit’s lead to read the post. God is strategically making moves to accelerate kingdom on earth growth/advancement. And I’m so humbled He wants to use me as part of the plan. I’m praying for however He’s using you in this season. Thanks again friend.
Ååå, så koselig du har gjort det med pakker, fine bilder og det hele. Nå kom jeg i jumtleesning også;o))Ha en fin kveld.Klem fra Solveig
I wasn’t confident exactly where to ask this, i wondered if the author could reply. Your blog looks brilliant and I wondered what theme and program you used? Any assist would be a big support and i would be really greatful as I am within the method of beginning a weblog related to this subject!
Atid lika kul att se foton här hemifrån!Det måste nog till lite sol innan isen släpper i Lidan. Det känns som Kinneviken är bottenfrusen.Nen det går nog fortare äm vi tror.Solen kikade fram en stund tidigare och tempen rusade upp till 10.Ha det gott!
Thank you for this reminder today! I am also too often “doubt-FULL and faith-LESS.” “Each time he tells you to move, you move.” That’s the essence of discipleship, isn’t it? “If any man would come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me.”
Charlie,
That’s one of my absolute favorite scriptures. Indeed it is the call of discipleship to follow the Master. But we live in a world quite contrary to that don’t we? So I’d say we are the BRAVE ones seeking to obediently following Christ. He is faithful to lead us in paths of righteousness for His namesake. I pray you’ve been inspired to take the next big step 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and do come again.
