You are capable of reaching ANY goal. -- if it is one you set yourself!
“All things are possible to him that believeth!” Mark 9:23
Dare to set yourself concrete goals! You can only reach those goals that you set yourself. No one reaches a goal without being able to envision it. In the Word of God you will find many examples of people who set goals for themselves and successfully reached them. You will not find one example of Jesus discouraging people from setting great goals for themselves.
The woman with the issue of blood set herself a goal to receive her healing as soon as she touched the garment of Jesus; when she touched His garment she was made whole instantly! Before this healing, she imagined every day how she would be healed. Again and again she affirmed to herself: “If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.” Mark 5:28 Her imagination became her reality!
Do the same thing! With passion, imagine how you will reach your goal! Even more: Visualize how you have already reached it! If you internalize your dream with passion, it will become a reality in your life! This is a spiritual principle: “Believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” Mark 11:24
David knew this principle when he conquered Goliath. He didn’t say: “God, if it is your will, give me the victory,” but he boldly confessed his goal -- he confessed it when he stood face to face with his enemy: “This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee...” 1 Samuel 17:46
What are your goals? Your dreams are a clue to the calling and the plan God has for your life! Do you want to become a millionaire to the glory of God and serve Him with your finances? ... Do you have a business and want to increase your turnover by 1000% before this year is over? ... Have you encountered a challenge in the area of your health and now you want to be more vital than ever before and abound with physical strength? Do you have another dream? Maybe you want to be your own pilot and fly to the ends of the earth to preach the gospel ... Maybe you are single and you want to marry ... Or it is your dream to be an extraordinary medical doctor, an inventor, an exclusive fashion designer or an outstanding architect?
Whatever your goal may be, envision yourself with all the good that God wants to give to you!
Dream about your goals with such intensity that you can virtually feel them. Now, in this attitude, start thanking God for these wonderful things! “According to your faith be it unto you” (Matthew 9:29) This is not compulsive or distressful but rather an enjoyable experience -- and you will see awesome results!
One of my dreams was always to preach the Gospel to hundreds of thousands of people -- in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. And I dreamed this dream with passion long before it ever became reality. Today during our crusades, I experience hundreds of thousands finding Christ. The extraordinary healings and miracles that I am allowed to see are reported on TV and on the radio. But I haven’t stopped—I have many more dreams and goals.
With God there is no respecter of persons. Just as my dream became reality, YOUR dreams will become true! |
