points to get you there fulfilled dreams 1 2 3 4 5 God has plans for you that are so far-reaching you can never exhaust them. He has a dream for your future that is exceedingly abundantly above anything you can ask or think. Here are some points to get you there: God created you with a specific purpose in mind. Ephesians 2:10: "For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]." (The Amplified Bible) He desires to fulfill the dreams He has put in your heart. Psalm 145:9, 19: "The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him." The only limit to God's goodness is your capacity to receive it. 2 Chronicles 16:9: "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him." Having a perfect heart toward God simply means putting Him first and doing things His way. Matthew 6:33: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Obeying God opens the door to the good life. Psalm 34:12-14: "What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it." just nothing better than living in peace and letting God add good things to you day after day. ere's not h ing more t h r i l l ing t ha n walking out God's dream for us. " But w h at i f I 'v e a l r e a d y departed from His dreams for me?" someone might ask. "What if I'm off track because I haven't let God have His way in my life? Do you think He will help me find my way back?" I have no doubt! God is no respecter of persons. He'll do for you the same thing He did for Ken and me. In our first few years of walking with the Lord, we got off track too. We didn't intend to. We were just young and spiritually inexperienced and we made some mistakes. Because of it, we found ourselves outside of God's will—in the wrong place at the wrong time, having a serious car wreck on a Texas highway. Although God protected us, we were devastated. We could see we needed to make a change in our lives but we didn't know exactly what to do. So we humbled ourselves and asked God to lead us. Shortly after we prayed, Ken's mother and father invited us to go with them to a Partner's Seminar at Oral Roberts University. We had no idea their invitation had anything to do with our future. But somehow we sensed we should go. We couldn't explain why, it just seemed like the right thing to do. Someone once said that going with the f low of the Holy Spirit is like being a log f loating down a river. It's being pliable in God's hands and letting Him take us where He wants us to go. Even though Ken and I weren't very spiritually savvy back then, we did have enough sense to be logs! So we chose to go with the flow. We went with Ken's parents to the seminar in Tulsa, and it turned out to be God 's answer to our prayer. It helped us see clearly how to get on the path He had prepared for us. Ken had already been wrestling with the sense that God was calling him to go to ORU, and when we set foot on the campus he decided to do it. We could never have guessed that our whole destiny was tied up in that one decision! We didn't know God was sending us to Tulsa so Ken could work with Brother Roberts and learn under his great ministry of deliverance, or that we'd go to Brother Hagin's meetings there and learn about faith. All we knew was that we wanted to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. L ook ing back now, I'm so glad we chose to go His way that weekend. It opened the door for us to live God's dream. It positioned us to receive more good things from Him than we could have ever imagined. These days we have such a marvelous life that some people might even think we're God 's favorites. And we are! But the truth is, you're His favorite, too. He has plans for you that are better than anything you've ever imagined. He has dreams for your life and blessings beyond measure laid up for you. Ask Him about them and let Him help you discover them. Spend time in His Word every day, commit yourself to doing things His way and follow the leadings He puts in your heart. Flow like a log in the river of the Holy Spirit, and one of these days you, too, will f ind yourself living right in the middle of a dream come true. B V O V : 3 1 i Enjoyed this article?
