Dare To Dream!!!

And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? And he said, Certainly I will be with thee.

– Exodus 3:11-12

Here's the question," Have you ever had a Holy Spirit inspired dream? A dream of doing something really great for Jesus? A dream of being so blessed, you can finance and have a nationwide revival? A dream of leading literally thousands of people to the Lord?"

I Have.... and at one time or another, you probably have too. Then it seems like reality sets in, and we shrink back from it.. Maybe you thought, "Man, that would be amazing, but I couldn't do that, just look at me...? It was probably late night pizza..."

If that describes you, let me tell you something, I have good news for you. If you'll believe God, even your lack of confidence won't keep you from success. What?? You don't believe me...Look in the book of Exodus and you'll see a man who proved my point. His name was Moses.

Moses didn't have a very good self-image... at all. He made terrible mistakes early on in his life and ministry. It was those very mistakes that drove him into the wilderness and kept him there for 40 years tending to somebody else's sheep.

He had once dreamed of being a deliverer of God's people... but not any more. As far as he was concerned, he was finished...a failure...a LOSER!!!!

But God wasn't thinking that at all... In fact, God came to Moses in the wilderness,(Do you remember this Bible Story?) He didn't ask for Moses' credentials. He didn't mention his (Slim) shady history. He just told him to go see Pharaoh and tell him "What's Up?" and to let God's people go.

Here's the kicker....

Moses, even after hearing from God, was still wrestling with his flesh. "God!! Look at me...Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?" he stammered and stuttered .

You know what God said....?  "Certainly, I will be with thee."

You see, it didn't matter who Moses was, where he came from, from social class he was a part of... What mattered was that God Himself was with him. The same thing is true for you today. You don't need a history of successes behind you to answer God's call on your life. You don't need a string of spiritual credentials. All you need is the presence of the Lord to be with you.

Think about that when the devil tells you you're a failure, when he says you'll never amount to anything in life, be able to do what God has put in your heart to do. Put the devil in his place. Tell him it doesn't matter who you are because the living God has sent you.

Then dare to follow your dreams!!!!

Have a fabulous week... Blessings.
