When I was young and just starting out in my ministry I sought wisdom from seasoned people. These people had walked with the Lord much longer than I and I really respected them for the accomplishments they had made for the Kingdom of God. I am not going to name a name (because I really do not like name droppers) but this person really had it rockin’ for the Lord in the late 70’s. He continued so till he went on to the Dream Giver’s House!

As I remember, we stood in a dusty, dirt parking area outside my first church in Salida, CA on a exceptionally hot summer day. There were six people in attendance at this time, besides, my wife and myself and our four children. We were living in the basement of the church in the three Sunday School rooms. I had been the pastor for about 2 months. This great person of God came to visit me after I made a call to gain audience and lunch with this individual.  As we stood there, I ask about dreaming the dream of faith. The response was incredible and has stayed with me now for about 30 years. The response: “Dream the dream that you have from God. Dream till it comes true. Your dream is over when you let someone or something wake you up from it!” I thought that is it! My dream from the Lord is a not just a small mediocre dream but a big dream! I could not manufacture a dream this big. So here is what I say: “Just dream and dream big! Don’t let anyone or anything take a bite out of your dream!”

Here is an interesting picture that I found to justify the point.
