A DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT by Pastor Scott
"I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions."
Joel 2:28 quoted by Peter in Acts 2:17
God is not done with you! God is not done with me! When I think I’m getting old, I remind myself that God is not through with me. I take dreaming and seeking God’s vision seriously. It is not just about me. I’m focused on what God wants to do to expand His Kingdom and how I can participate.
I dream for PGCC!
I haven’t stopped dreaming about our role, our impact, our outreach, our destiny, heritage, and legacy. Not at all.
Are you a dreamer?
Dreamers open the windows of possibility with God.
Dreamers create hope.
Dreamers take steps of faith.
Dreamers hasten to grow in trust.
Don’t stop dreaming! Don’t go into “coast” mode. The apostle Paul did not say, “I coast.” He said, “I press on….”
Dreamers expect to be surprised by God.
Jesus inspired people to dream, to see that God had more for their lives that they can experience now. Jesus lit fires in people to become faith dreamers. He began the early church on the back of an uneducated, unsophisticated, over exuberant fisherman named Peter.
Jesus handed off the gospel message at his empty gravesite after his resurrection to a woman who was devastated and lost in sorrow. She became the first to carry the resurrection message that Jesus is risen!
Jesus launches dreams into people’s lives. He always does. If you come to Jesus with your life, he will place a dream in you. When you begin to nurture those dreams, and discover and use your gifts, and find your passions for serving, and allow His power to invade your life, God’s dreams will come alive through you!
Don’t stop seeking God’s dreams for your life!
Dream, dream big!
You need to, I need you to, PGCC needs you to, and God needs you to!
