Dreams

 Hello dear friends.

It's me.

How are you?

I hope that you're having a really nice day.

I've been at work today, feeding the students and doing dishes.

After last nights home group, I have a new appreciation of dish hands. Because half my morning is cleaning up after the boys and doing the dishes.

 We are all called, to serve, because we are all hands and feet of God.

Last night, at home group, we talked about holy communion and study on it.

It wasn't just the elements that we take but there's power in them.

It's not just bread and juice, but the body of Christ, that is why there's so much power in comunion.

The more we press into Jesus the more he gives us, Amen?

So what is he talking to you and me about?

That the more we look to the world in these things, the more, we get discouraged.

But we are called not to be , because we have hope in him.

Times will get harder, even today when I said I go to church on Sundays nights, I got some flack, from a new chef, just because I go to church.

It wasn't upsetting, but this is the world that we are in.

And that is why we shall strengthen us in taking communion, it strengthens us.

And dream, Jesus doesn't only give us dreams at night, but dreams of being fulfilled in life.

The more we pray, and press into God, the more fountains he opens up and fills us with his holy spirit.

Jesus isn't as far away as you think.

He is simply close to you, so close you know it's him talking to you.

right here and now.

Dreams are important to us, but we shall not praise the dreams we have, but we need to praise the lord that is in us.

Taking communion connects you to Lord, in home group the other night, we talked about how God remembers us, now there's a special greek word which I have forgotten, but it the word remember means, that he actually does something about it. The lord sees our cause.

He really sees it dear friends, and does something about it.

He sees your condition, and he does something about it.

The lord sees you as made whole, without blemish.

New.

We are all in this together and we are called to fight for the others, to take up our armor in the lord and fight for the people.

Last night in home group, we talked, about angels, now they are big, I've seen them, but they are there to minister, to act on our behalf of the father of Heaven.

Jesus is the one that has given us dreams, and he gives us the strength to carry them through.

If you think there's nothing there, there is.

Like my spring tulip bulbs that are up this year, they spent all year hibernating in the ground, not rotting, but getting geared up underneath the ground to come up.

and grow.

Team right now, you might think there's nothing there, but there is.

A beautiful time of resting, to gearing up for something bigger.

My friends it's time to call on those dreams that you have and put them into work.

Don't let them just lie wasted, in the dirt, but if we pray, and let God grow us, we will achieve so much more than we can do it in our own strength.

So dream big people, now is the time to enlarge your tent, make those tent pegs a bit bigger than you think

And Jesus will do the rest, just let Jesus grow you.

Those are my thoughts for today.
