The 3 Steps To Making Your Dreams Come True

(Before I talk about the subject above, I just want to tell you I'm still walking on Cloud 9.  Last night, we just finished our KerygmaConference2015 in Manila and I can't begin to describe the happiness there.  Imagine 20,000+ people empowered, encouraged, and equipped towards their God-given mission.  This Saturday, I go to Cebu for the KerygmaConference2015 there.)

            Do you want to fulfill your dreams?
            God plants dreams in our hearts.
            Here are 3 Steps to make them come true…

Step One:

See The Dream

            Do you really know what you want in life?
            You've got to know your dream so well that you see it in your mind.  In fact, you just don't see it, you feel it in your heart.  Because faith and fear are not just beliefs or expectations—they're also feelings.  When you see your dream in vivid detail, you'll feel the faith rise within you.
            That's why fearful people cannot dream.
            Here's what you do: Imagine all your dreams are already fulfilled.  The more you see it and feel it, the easier it is for your dreams to come true.
            Dream in vivid Technicolor—complete with sounds, smells, tastes, and feel. 
            The reason why many people don't receive God's blessings is because they have a limited capacity to receive those blessings.  The problem isn't in the Supply.  (It's infinite.)  The problem is in the Receiving of that Supply.
            So how do you increase your capacity to receive? 
            By increasing your vision.  When you increase the size of your vision, you increase the size of your blessings.
            See your dream.  Feel it.
            Once you do that, you're ready for the next step…

Step Two:

Sow The Dream

            Actually, you don't sow the dream.
            You sow the seed of the dream.  And that small seed will grow to become your big dream.
            What's the seed?  Your actions.
            Nothing happens unless you act.
            When you plant one hundred seeds, not all of those one hundred seeds will grow.  Perhaps ninety-nine will die.  But that's okay.  It's the one seed that grows that will make your dream come true.
            So make mistakes!
            Act.  And act.  And keep on acting.
            Wake up early.  And run towards your dream!
            Even if you feel that you have very little resources…

Act On What You Have

            When David fought Goliath, he didn't ask for a M9 bazooka, a machine gun, or a bullet-proof vest.  He worked with what he had—a leather sling and five smooth stones.  God transformed it into a deadly weapon in his hand.
            When Moses delivered the Israelites from Egypt, he didn't ask for a phalanx of warriors, a naval battleship, or a couple of nuclear missiles to defeat Egypt.  He used what he had—an old wooden stick.  But through that old wooden stick, God made a snake, turned a river into blood, divided the red sea—and drowned the chariots of Pharaoh.
            So use what you have!
            I hear this a lot from people who excuse their mediocre lives:

• "But I don't have a college diploma”
• "I can't speak English well,”
• "I don't have the right connections.”
• "I'm not good in math.”
• "I don't know how to sell.”
• "I don't have time.”
• "I'm not as good-looking as Bo Sanchez.”  (Have your eyes checked.)

            Don't look for what you don't have. 
            Here's the truth: You have everything you need to reach your dreams.
            Everything.
            Did you read that?
            E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!
            You have the Holy Spirit.  You have friends around you.  You have other talents within you.  Etcetera.
            And here's the last crucial step you need to take…

Step Three:

Surrender Your Dream

            Some of you may even be shocked by my third step.
            I've asked you to dream, right?  To pursue it with so much passion that you see it and feel it in your heart.
            But in Step Three, I'll ask you to do what seems the very opposite: To surrender your dreams to God.  In Step   Three, you say the most perfect prayer of all.  "Lord, not my will but yours be done.” 
            To trust.
            To let go.
            To actually tell God that you're happy now—even without this dream. 
            Here's one thing I found out about dreams.  If I'm desperate, needy, and frantic—I find it so difficult to make that dream come true.
            But if I surrender to God my dream, and relax, and treat my pursuit of the dream as play—I find myself attracting every blessing I ever need in an almost effortless way.
            This is my experience with money too.
            When I'm desperate for money, very little comes my way.  Everything I earn is a struggle, like I'm pulling teeth from the universe.
            But when I'm relaxed about money—trusting that I'm swimming in an ocean of money—the money will come rolling at my feet, begging that I take it.
            When I do this, I don't struggle.  The right people come to me.  The right connections come to me.  The right book comes to me.  The right opportunities come.  Almost effortlessly…

            May your dreams come true,
