You are Guaranteed Big Dreams!

You are guaranteed big dreams!

If I show you in the Word of God that you are guaranteed big dreams, will you accept them?  If your answer is yes, then keep reading.  If you answer is no, stop reading because you will be held responsible for reading this.

Jeremiah 29:11 reads,

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

After reading this verse, you can see that you are guaranteed big successful dreams from God.  This is why you must trust God as your source because this scripture is for everyone.  Which means that there can’t be any scarcity in the earth because God had to make plans for everyone to succeed.

Be real with yourself!  You know you have big dreams!  They came from God.  So your question may be “why aren’t my dreams coming to pass?”  I have your answer!

In our dreams, we usually focus on the end of our big dreams or what the results are.  We tend to focus on how much money we will have, what kind of lifestyle we will have, or who we will marry, etc.  But we rarely pay attention to the person we have become in the dream.  Catch this next statement!  You can’t have the results of your dreams until you become the person in the dream! (Yes, you need to read that again!)

Look at Joseph.  He had dreams but he had to develop into the person in the dreams that had the sun, moon, and 11 stars giving obedience to him.  He had to develop into the person that the sheaves bowed down to.

There is a built in governor or safety valve on the dreams that God has for you coming to pass.  That governor is becoming the person of the dream.  I know you think you are the person of the dream.  All it takes is one question to find out if you are the person in the dream.  Have your dreams come to pass?  If not, then you have some more growing to do!  If it has come to pass, then you need to get another dream, because when you stop dreaming, you become useless!

Let’s go through the a few people of character in the bible to see if what I’m saying is true.  We have Moses on the backside of the mountains leading sheep before leading God’s people out of slavery!  We have David tending and protecting sheep from dangerous animals before protecting God’s people from slavery (Goliath)!  Finally we have Jesus in the temple (Luke 2:46-47, 52), 40 days in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-2), and the garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:39) preparing for ministry and the cross!

My advice to you is to stop focusing on the results of your dream and focus on becoming the person in the dream! (Matthew 6:33)

Sincerely Money

I’m never given a chance to express my thoughts so here goes.  This letter is meant to let you know what I’m thinking and how I feel!

Are you righteous?  If so, then I was commanded to be in your house (Psalms 112:3).  I don’t like disobeying my creator.  By the way, you do know to enjoy me is a gift from God (Ecclesiastes 5:19)?

I get a bad rap cause sometimes I wind up in the wrong hands!  Do you realize that Jesus never talked negatively about me?  Any negative talk was about the IMPROPER HANDLING of me!  As a matter of fact, Jesus told me to be your friend (Luke 16:9)!  Once again I don’t want to disobey my creator!  And Stop calling me evil.  I haven’t done anything but follow your orders.  I don’t like being called “evil”  behind my back with your friends after all the good I have done for you.  Really, I'm inherently good because my forefather (gold) saw to that (Gen 2:12)! 

God created me for you.  Please don’t reject me cause I have feelings and I know when I’m not wanted!  I only stay where I’m appreciated and used properly.  You and I can make a lot of people happy.  You take the lead.  I want you to tell me what to do, but if you don’t I’m make a decision for you.

God is willing to teach you how to get more of me (Isaiah 48:17).  If I knew your dreams, I could recruit more of my friends to help me bring your dreams to pass.  If you talked to me more often in the right way, I’ll invite more of my friends over. 

If you think there is not enough of me to go around, I will always control you.  When u see me w/someone else, don't be mad.  There's enough of me to go around. I don't die. I multiply!  If you let me, I can enhance your happiness!

Every time you buy something with me, stop saying I’m spent.  Begin to say that you are circulating me and watch I come back.  When you give me away with right intentions, I always return with more friends.

I got a feeling that you are a good boss and more of my friends will be willing to work for you!

I’m glad you read my letter.  Watch how comfortable we get with each other the more we talk.  I bet you didn’t know I had so much to say!  Don’t be a stranger, lets talk again soon.  I’m waiting for your instructions!

Sincerely,

Money

Should I Make Friends with Money?

I finally understand Luke 16:9! It reads:

And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

First, we must at least consider the importance of this scripture because it is spoken from the mouth of Jesus, our Savior!  This scripture has baffled the church for so long because it sounds contradictory.  It sounds like Jesus is telling us to become friends with or come into covenant with money.  So the first scripture pops up in your head, my head, and everyone else’s head is 1Tim 6:10 (the love of money is the root to all evil).

But to understand this scripture, you must read the story of the unjust steward (Luke 16:1-8) and realize that Jesus used that parable to illustrate how the children of this world use their (now get this) TWISTED CREATIVITY to make a way for themselves.  Jesus said that in the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

I had the words “twisted creativity and their generation” in bold type because these words are important.  First, Jesus was emphasizing the importance of using your God given creativity or infinite intelligence (1 John 2:20) to make yourself valuable because you can produce and implement ideas that produce wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18).  The children of this world have been using their twisted creativity to make money.  But God wants you to use your righteous creativity to fulfill His will in the earth and the children of this world will pay you for it because to them that’s the most valuable thing they can come up with to exchange for your God given brilliance! 

If you read Luke 16:10-13, you’ll see the word “faithful” used over and over.  Now in order for you to grasp the insight of this parable, you must understand the word “faithful”.  Faithful means to be full of faith or to be full of God’s instructions, which produces consistency.  So if you apply that definition to those verses, then you’ll see that Jesus is pointing our focus on using God’s intelligence on the small assignments. Using God’s intelligence when handling money.  Using God’s intelligence when we are on our jobs!  If we do that, then God will know that we’ll use His intelligence on the big assignments, He’ll give you the wisdom that controls everything, and He’ll cause you to be promoted to own your own!  That sounds like money, riches, wealth chasing you!

The Jesus finally culminates this parable by saying verse 13 of Luke the 16th chapter.

 ¹³No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Jesus was letting us know that, when we perform services or give our labor, that we must give our 100% percent effort by using all that we know and what God knows to accomplish our task, regardless of pay.  When you do that, you are serving God, and He becomes your Rewarder.  Money is no longer a master because you are not working for money rather working to express your creativity. And for that the Greatest Rewarder alive will reward you!

So when Jesus told us to make friend with unrighteous mammon, He was telling us to use our creativity or God infinite intelligence to perform on the earth.  If you need an example of someone making friends with unrighteous mammon, read the story of Joseph (Genesis chapters 37, 39, 40, & 41)

Finally, the children of this world are no longer wiser than us because we are going to begin using God’s intelligence (1 John 2:20) to perform in the earth!
