 This is one. I just want to take a brief time to speak on a topic called the structure of a dream How many dreamers do we have in the house this morning? We have dreamers a man have good dreamers and We have to understand one thing from from from being a dreamers that our dreams They never have an expiration date whenever you start in the God gives you a dream Maybe you are a young person. Maybe you're still a kid. Maybe you are a An adult maybe you're going through high school. Maybe you're married Maybe you're an elderly person whenever God gives you a dream that dream does not have an expiration date It's not like if by the end of 2016 I don't accomplish my dreams. My dreams expire It doesn't work like that when God gives you a dream He's behind you to fulfill that dream when he gives you a dream that in the last days God will proud his spirit upon all fresh. It's not by but this time that if it doesn't happen, you know Just dreams are vanished or dreams doesn't come to pass when God calls you You know to reach a generation or to be able to start a home group or to be able to be able to to be successful in business It's not that there's a time frame for that when you have God on your side You cannot put time on to it your dreams do not have expiration date Amen because with our God all things are possible. He can take a drug addict That was just few months was addicted drugs and it's seven months can make him into a home group leader in a person Who influence others who brings people for Jesus Christ in these dreams? They do not have a timeline because we serve a God of impossible a man church with server God that is bigger than our problems Bigger than our limitation and he can do Extraordinary things with simple people like me and you a man church and That's that's something we have to understand. I just want to take a scripture this morning out of Genesis Chapter 11. We're just gonna read verses one through seven And if you have your Bible, we're just gonna have a scripture on the screen It says now the whole earth had one language and one speech and it came to pass as they journeyed from the east that they Found a plane in the land of Sinir Sinir and they dwelt there then they said to one another come let us make bricks and bake them Thoroughly and they had bricks for stone and they had asphalt for mortar and they said come let us build our Self a city and a tower whose top is In heavens let us make a name for ourselves Let's we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth and I want you to pay attention in verse five It says but the Lord came down to see the city in the tower Which the sons a man has built and the Lord says indeed the people are one and they have one language And this is what they begin to do now Nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them The scripture It surprises me and when you read the scripture it just People who do not know God heathens that people who were not Christian were able to get the attention of God But because of what they thought because of what they dreamed of because of what they visioned Can you imagine that a people who do not know God people who are not the children of God complete sinners heathens They said you know what? Let's build the city for us. So let us dream so big. Let us just make a name for a song Let's build a tower that reaches in heaven and when God heard that he said wow Let us get off our throne Let us come down and to see what the sons of man had proposed in the heart what they begin to dream and What they begin to envision the hearts You have to understand the power of a dream the power of Venus vision is that if you dream small You never need God for it If your dreams are so small that you can accomplish it by yourself. Why do you need God? If your dreams are to be small Then you don't need the Holy Spirit to be able to give you the grace and the power To be able to do better than your best to be able to fulfill the destiny that God has for your life Dreams are meant to be so big that you say God I cannot do it by myself and I need your help to be able to bring it to pass And this is what the scripture talks about heathens who do not know God were able to attract the tension of God The God said wow What they propose in the heart nothing will be with health from that because they said look we're gonna do this And we're gonna work at it How much more the children of God how much more who were bought by the price? Through the Calvary how much who the people have the Holy Spirit inside their hearts Can dream big and have God on this side to make the dreams come to past My question to you this morning is how much do you dream? How much do you envision into your heart? What is that thing that God has placed in your heart? How big is it? Is it as big that you said I can accomplish it by myself or is it as big as? God I cannot do it myself and I need you to be on my side to make my dreams come to pass I just want to just give just few points this morning That with the weekend that we can take and learn from of how to is to be able to have the dreams That God has placed inside of our hearts to have them come to past Not just to be daydreams not just to be something that moves the revision But it's something that comes to pass a man. If we aim at impossible We'll be able to reach our maximum if we reach for maximum. We'll be able to reach our minimum If we reach and aim for minimum, we will never get nothing will accomplish nothing Number the first point I want to bring is how big do you want to dream? How big do you want to dream? How big is that desire that God has placed inside your hearts? If you are if you are single this morning if you are you know going from relationship to relationship You see, you know, there's a family curse of people getting divorced and you're saying, you know, maybe that's that's my destiny That's where I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be maybe into a marriage who was divorced That's not a dream that that's not a big enough dream You need a dream that you need God with where are you gonna say that I'll have a marriage Don't be successful not just only successful that I'll be mentoring other marriages and help them to get out of divorce That's a bigger dream Your dream shouldn't be you know, I'm addicted to you know to smoke and I'm addicted to drinking and I pray that God Will set me free your dream gotta be that I'll be set free from drugs and I'll open a rehab center to be able to Get other drug addicts to get delivered from there from their addiction My dream is not that you know, I can hope I can I can you know Save my own life, you know, my nobody's in my family is Christian and you know I want to serve God for all my life. No, your dreams gotta be that I'll open up a home group You know, I'll be the one rescuing my family I'll be the one that will rewrite the history of my family and I'll be the one to release Home groups in one day. I'll open up a church. That is a dream that needs God Don't dream a dream that you can say I can accomplish it by myself Dream a dream that you can say I need God to make it to come to pass in my church When you have faith you are creating when you have faith to be able to dream big your mind and your spirit They come together and they begin to create they begin to create. How big do you want to dream this morning? What is that dream that God has placed inside of your heart? Why we always talk every service every morning prayer we talked about thousands Locally and millions globally because we know we cannot accomplish it by ourselves We know as as maybe as small as we are we know one thing we need God for this dream to come to pass The vision is much more than we can handle that is holy is why Holy Spirit was given to us So we can bring that dream to pass that in the last days God will proud the spirit upon all flesh That our young generation will see visions will see dreams. They'll be able to conquer the schools They'll be able to open up churches There will be a generation to lead the church and that is a dream that is much bigger than us How big do you want to dream this morning? If it's you right now you're working out a job that is just you're living from paycheck to paycheck God wants you to dream one day of owning a business God wants you to dream one day to be able to sponsor people through college to be able to give away cars Be able to give people money for rent to be able to live on more than enough That you represent your heavenly father who says the gold and silver is mine Not just that you can drive it Bentley, but you can be a blessing to other people that when you give to people They say I want to serve the god that you serve not that you are so broke They say come serve my jesus. Well, you are broke. Why would I serve you jesus? But a jesus that has so much money that you are given out to the poor you open orphanages You open up hospitals in terrible countries that you live a life where your dream scares people where sometimes you are ashamed to tell your dream because you say other people call me crazy That is a dream that god has given our pastor when we were starting our church You know when our pastor would share the dream at times, you know when we were sitting and we were kind of like Don't say it's so loud people will leave our church and that's exactly what happened People begin to leave our church because they you you don't know what you're talking about You don't speak the language your youth is is still robbing stores and who are you? Who do you think that you're doing but a pastor had a dream that said god I cannot do it You gave me a dream inside of your heart inside of my heart and that is a dream That can only you can help us come to pass and today we are celebrating because One's man's focus one man's dream wasn't broken One man dared to dream big enough and that is why we are here this morning church I remember when I was uh, I remember when when uh, like around four years ago When zaki was starting off and he just turned 10. I was like man I'm gonna go buy your drum so you're gonna be the best drummer, you know all these things and zaki was like Whoa, that's cool. You know He's still small. I remember it was like you're gonna be the best and you know in our family In our whole family true. We don't have a one professional professional musician. We don't have not one We never had one musician. I mean no no offense to ilia Like my professional professional You know not one, you know, we had we don't have one person in our family tree who actually makes money off music We don't have one person I remember when zaki was small, you know, I went by to my drum sitting every day. I would play, you know A train with the I'm telling you're gonna be the best. You're gonna get signed by company. You're gonna release, you know Videos on youtube, you know, you're just gonna be great. It's like yeah, whatever, you know One day we were like We're giving this mohawk haircut Like this mohawk we hairspray, you know the hell out of that hair It's so hard and then mom comes in she's like Cuts it all off with the gel inside the hairs ripped out most of the hair But I keep telling him a dream bigger dream bigger to a two point You know I'll come into his room. I would see a poster, you know Everything that I tell him was behind the post and every time he would see it He would see it and today, you know, he's offering lessons to people at 15 years old He's given lessons and he's he's getting paid to teach other people to play drums And this is just the beginning of a big dream, you know This is this is why we have to talk about big dreams to our younger generation Because they catch onto the fire they they they like you tell them you're gonna be great They're like, of course, I'm gonna be great. I have no other option, you know, they don't believe in, you know I'm gonna fail, you know, it's only us that we experience failures and we're like, well, you know If you go too far, you know, you might fall down you, you know things will hurt, you know Just chill, you know, just chill relax. Don't go too far. But for a younger generation the moment you tell them something big They're like, I'm gonna do it. I was that's why why most of them dreams to be astronauts They believe to be doctors and all these great people until they hit like high school and Depression kicks in and that's we're back to working in McDonald's no offense to McDonald's but Because we we cripple their ability to dream We cripple their ability to envision Bigger than themselves we cripple their ability to understand that with God all things are possible Yes, you can say look at me the weaknesses that I am but I can tell you one thing I can see you but also the God that lives inside of you You can say that I'm full of weaknesses and mistakes But don't forget the God that said I would choose to live inside this temple and that anything that they're proposing the heart I'll be behind them to back up the word. You have a God of the universe who lives inside of you Don't dream small Don't dream a dream that you can only accomplish by yourself dream a big dream that only can be possible with God a man church Your dream will set your agenda the dream that you place inside your heart will begin to give you things to do on your daily basis Whenever you begin to dream so big it begins to give you steps on how to accomplish that dream Begins to give you things that you do Every day the people tell you to talk to the podcast to listen to the books to read You know how much time to spend in prayer your dream will begin to give you agenda Will begin to give you to do what you need to do to be able to accomplish that dream that God inside Has inside of your heart amen church Point number two is how hard do you want to work? How hard do you want to work? Prophet to be joshu says one quote that I really love and he says work as if everything Depends on you and pray as if everything depends on God Why we talk about evangelism every service while we pray for souls every service because we understand one point Work as if everything depends on you and pray as if everything depends on God every service We pray for the same thing God we want to see thousands so local Saved locally in millions globally. We pray for it because we know that with our power We do everything that we can with our prayer with our power with our might with us witnessing with our Instagram with our facebook with our video team with our live stream with our how not to invite We do everything that we can on our part, but we also don't forget the other side We pray as if everything depends on God for your dreams to come to past You have to understand you have to hustle You have to work that you know dreams will be able to accomplish themselves You have to work you have to work as if as if everything that you can do To witness to be able to do your business deals You're able to be the best at your workplaces if you're sick in your body and your dream is to have a healthy body You know that you are you know fit the you your dream that's you go to you go to gym You eat right that that is something that you can do by yourself But also the other part where you rely on God where you trust in God If you are not talking about your dream if you're not talking about your vision Your vision is talking about you and it's calling you lazy If you are not talking about your dream of your vision every day Your vision is talking about you and it's calling you lazy And that is the important for us to be able to talk yet to some people you might sound ridiculous The moment you talk about your dream your dreams gives you a to-do list gives you agenda And how to accomplish your dream how to take that step? No, we talked about having our sanctuary packed We talked about it. We prayed about it today. You're sitting the sanctuary that is packed We're talking about that one day your tithe Your income will become your tithe and one day you'll see people will testify what I make today What my tithe this today is what I make we talking about that one day our track will become our regular attendance and service We're talking about it because we know that is the dream that got inside of a heart And it will come to pass in Jesus. Amen, man You need to be talking about your dream You need to be talking about a one day open a home group one day. I'll release people One day I'll lay hands on the sick and they will be healed from cancer They will be delivered from the from addiction. They'll be delivered from the hands of the enemy You got to be talking about your dream So you don't have your dream talking about you in my church It is amazing that we read the scripture that Genesis 11 verse 9 that it says that the heatings that just Do when I when I heard this I was just like I was amazed how people Who do not know God are able to attract God's attention to be able to come down how God left his throne able to see what are these people Imagining in the hearts It's just it just it surprises me how much more the children of God who have the holy spirit inside of them How much more we can move God with how much we see in our vision and how much we dream How much more the God that sent his son for us the blood for us How much our mind can expend so much that God said I like what you think I like what you dream because I know you can't do it. But you have to depend on me to make it come to pass I want us to be the people that that get God's attention every morning that we wake up as a god My dream is so big not for me to save by me in my whole house to be saved Yes, my family might be healthy, but I see my whole family being saved Yes, you know when my family the only thing I know is cancer Everybody's dying out of sickness, but my dream is that everybody in my family will be healed Will be healthy and they'll serve the Lord with me. My dream is not that you know, my brothers and my sisters aren't drugs My dream is that I'll be saved from all I'll be delivered from that and I'll be saving other people Who are still addicted and that is my dream and I need God for me to accomplish that dream I need God for me to be able to see the vision come to pass. How much do you dream How big is that your dream this morning? So I want to challenge I want to be able to to be able to to challenge you that don't dream small with God Don't dream small with God. We have testimonies upon testimonies in this place That when they dream big with God God was able to come through for them. I remember as As a kid when I was in uh, Ukraine when I was church service where I was walking and uh, and I was I found a dollar I shared the story before and I found a dollar and then that time in Ukraine was a lot of Money you can be like literally buy a bike with that and I remember that not service You know something in my heart was like give that money to offering as the offering basket comes on Just give the dollar. I was a kid. It was like six You know, I know what a dollar is back in the day because it was like gold, you know And I gave that money and I remember in doing that time when I placed that money in the offering basket Since then I had that dream I'm gonna be live a life that I will be known for giving A like extraordinary things to be able to give things that are everybody's like, how can you give so much? You know even in last year, you know, me and my wife were able to get a privilege to give away a car That's something that I dreamed for since I was a young kid And these are the things that with man, it's not possible with man You cannot accomplish these things but with God all things are possible a man church with God all things are possible Maybe you're in a marriage that is struggling Believe a greater dream that not only your marriage will be saved But you'll be also counseling other marriages from from breaking up in divorce from ending up in being separation From ending up with kids being affected by the divorce dream a bigger dream church. Amen Number three is how much do you want do you want to envision? uh, another quote by prophet Josh that I really love is that a man Is what he thinks all day long A man's life is what his thoughts make it A man's life Is what his thoughts make it You know remember I heard one time I said be careful Of what you think because they can become words be careful what your words are because they become behaviors behavior Be careful of your behavior because they become actions. Be careful your actions because they become your destiny And it all starts out with our thoughts. What what are you envisioning in your mind? What are you dreaming in your mind this morning? What is something that you are going through? What is something that you maybe to you it seems like an impossible situation And that is a perfect recipe for god to step in if you're this morning you're saying, you know What i'm facing in my life is an impossible situation that you are a perfect candidate for god to step along your side To make your dreams come to pass in my church to make the thing that you what you Having your life to be able to come to pass and remember what latimer said pastor lads said one of the The user says vision without action is a daydream and action without vision is a nightmare I know myself, but also know the god that lives inside of me church We know ourselves. We know our limitations. We know our weaknesses But also the god that lives inside of him inside of you inside of me is able to do exceedingly and above and beyond what we can ever think or we can ever imagine That is the god that you serve. He's not a god of a small things But it's a god who can in the middle of a desert in the middle of a thing to be able to feed millions He's a god who who can out of few bread and few loaves of fish to be able to feed thousands He's the god who's able to split the red sea is a god who can take a drug out I can make him into a person that's a there's evangelists to the whole school to the whole family He's a is a god who can take a incurable disease and make you a person with a perfect body And a healthy body who can be testimony that god is the same yesterday today and forever church That is the god that you serve this morning We I want us to be able to have dreams I want us to envision much more than what we can that we can do with god and the last thing Is how much past do you want to forget? How much past do you want to forget? I remember the same time exactly last year Uh, we we had lunch we had things like dinner after New Year's Eve Me at her, I think The China so we were sitting in this restaurant and we were talking about you know goals and accomplishments for that year And I remember at her one thing he said that I was like, you know dream big, you know We're gonna know you god can use you, you know Just just aim higher, you know what god can do I remember one thing that he told me that that struck me he said but bro I you know, I'm illegal. I don't have papers this. I'm like who told you you can't succeed So who told you that? No, he's like well, you know these people on the path that I know, you know, they don't rise above You know, but I'm like who told you this this we cannot stop you from this. You got to dream bigger today He has a business in photography say he when he takes the picture you can become a model You know once after he's done with photoshop, but you know So single man I talked to him after service So it's today god is using him today, you know, he's given away things, you know As of last year the same time last year, you know, he was living from paycheck to paycheck this year Same time god is blessing with the business. He's making money out of something he loves doing. We take your picture. You look awesome, you know, and That is our god that can be able to to to be able to forget our past You know, we're able to forget the failures of our past and be able to dream a bigger dream a man church Many times our past is is the biggest hindrance to our dreams When we tried so hard to be able to accomplish what god has wants us to accomplish and we fail And we see that as as a road roadblock as as a as you know, when you When you try to ray from a comps they put these strips That if you drive it is like it makes your tire flat that is sometimes our past That's what it does to us We try to go forward But it's something that it makes our tires flatten and we try to go forward But we can't let go what happened in our past quit cheating on your future with your past Your past is too heavy to bring into the future. It's just it's too heavy to be able to say god Well, this is what happened. I believe that you can do it But just remember that I failed just a year ago. Remember what I've done a year ago Remember what I've done yesterday and you begin to tell god god. This is what happened. Yes And god says forget the past Forget the past because I'm not a god that lives in the past But I am the god that lives in the future stay god sees you and not how you are now Not how you were in the past, but god sees the future you god sees a bless you god sees the delivery Do god sees a you that is above and at the east that every time you walk in you are blessed Every time you walk out you are blessed anything your hand touches will be blessed That is the god that sees you that way Let go of the past how much past you want to forget How much do you want to forget of the failures that you tried you tried and you failed You cannot drag your past into your in your present to your future. It's too heavy There was a man, uh, Robert Williams And all you guys know him He put up this picture He made the whole world laugh But yet he couldn't make himself laugh because couldn't let go of his past His past was a way to have it to bring into his future into his present A man who made every I mean you guys seen some of his Comedies you you even made you even laughed at some of the things that he has a wonderful act made the whole world laugh Yet couldn't make himself laugh Couldn't let go of his past and his past Was able to take his life Your past if you dwell On your past you cripple your ability to think To act and exercise faith in the present If you your mind is dwelling on what happened yesterday you cripple your ability to think And to act to to act and to exercise faith in the present How much past do you want to forget church? You know our church existed for some time now and you know, there's so many things that we tried With our church, you know, we stood on the on the freeways with banners You know, we spread over 50 000 flyers and and all these things, you know Just one person shows up and they probably just showed up by mistake and some of the things that we've done that just Failed the failed the failed, you know all these things, but we know that we suffered God that is bigger than our past We know that you know what happened yesterday We let it go and we suffered God that says in the last days He says in the future states and then we dream of a future state because that's where our God is He doesn't dwell on my past but he dwells in the future and he says this is where you are headed and look It'll rise up your eyes and be able to look where you're headed Not what happened but where you are going If he didn't if those who do not know God can attract God's attention But their ability to dream to envision how much more a christian How much more you let us fill with the holy spirit can move the presence of God in your life When you are able to dream big when you're able to work hard when you are able to envision Much and you're able to forget the failures of your past You're able to move God's presence in your life and God will begin to step in your life And he'll be able to stand next to you says that Anything that you do will be able to come to pass and we know one thing if God is for you Who can be against you and that is nobody when God is with the nation Who can stand against her when God is with the believer What weapon can form against when we're prospering because no weapon that is formed against a believer Will prosper in Jesus name and that is you tonight church. I want us to rise up on our feet I want us to be able to spend time and now we're gonna go into worship We're gonna pray after after we're gonna spend this time in worship And I want us to serve a god of big dreams. Amen We want to serve god who nothing's impossible But that is that is the god that you serve this morning church. Amen
