Bringing Dreams to Life!
• Going after your dreams
• Create a Dream Culture around you
Impossible is just a big word thrown around by
small men who find it easier to live in the
world they’ve been given than explore the
power they have to change it. Impossible is
not a fact. Its an opinion. Impossible is not a
declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential.
Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
~ Adidas
What is a Dream?
• A dream is a picture of the future that I want
to live in some day.
• Dreams are hope carriers and are not bound
by time or reality.
Dreams are seeds of possibility planted into your soul, calling you to pursue a
unique path to the realization of your purpose. ~ John Maxwell
God had a dream and wrapped your body around it! ~ Lou Engle
You have Permission to Dream
• Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a
desire fulfilled is a tree of life. (Prov 13:12)
• Write the vision and make it plain on tablets,
that he may run who reads it. (Hab 2:2)
Dream List
Ask yourself these questions:
• How would I live if I were fearless?
• If money were no object, what would I do?
• How would I live if I believed?
• Who do I want to be?
• What things do I want to do?
• What things do I want to have?
Core Values
• God is good all the time “How great is the love the Father has
lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John: 3:1)
• Nothing is Impossible “With God all things are possible” (Matt
19:26)
• I have a purpose “ We are His workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk
in them” (Eph 2:!0)
• I am responsible for me
“So then each of us shall give account for
himself to God” (Rom 14:12)
• Greatness comes through
serving “But whomever desires to
become great among you, let him be
your servant” (Mat 20:26-28)
Dream List
Ask yourself these questions:
• How would I live if I were fearless?
• If money were no object, what would I do?
• How would I live if I believed?
• Who do I want to be?
• What things do I want to do?
• What things do I want to have?
Big dreams Financial dreams
Fun dreams Emotional dreams
Physical dreams Spiritual dreams
Legacy dreams
SMART Goals
• S
• M
• A
• R
• T
– Specific: How clear is your dream?
– Measurable: How will you identify your
progress toward your dream?
– Achievable (Attainable): Is your dream
within your capabilities?
– Realistic (Relevant): How significant is this
dream to you?
– Time based: When will you start or
complete your dream?
Ready, Set, Go…..
Overcoming Setbacks
How you respond to those obstacles will determine whether or now you carry
on pursuing your dream.
• Overcoming disappointment
• Regaining Courage
• Restoring Hope
• Resurrecting Dead Dreams
Overcoming Mindsets
Set your minds on things above, not on things of the earth. (Col 3:2)
What do you believe?
World hunger is going to end in 10 years
What you believe will determine whether you begin to think of creative
solutions (how this can be done) or creative defenses (why this cannot
be done).
Delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your
heart. (Ps 37:4)
Align your thoughts with Heavens
Why its Important to Run after your
Dreams
• Life is released around you
• All creation is waiting for YOU
• You have a divine mandate to dream
• We must dream bigger in order to see global
transformation
• Heaven is waiting
Creating a Dream Culture around you
Dreams are powerful. Dreams and those who live them can change cultures,
redirect nations and move mountains.
• Find a dream partner or dream friend – encourage
one another to pursue your dreams
• Encourage the dreams of people around you
– share your testimony of the dreams you’ve pursued, to unlock the
dreams in the lives of others
• Develop questions to ask dreamers as they
pursue their dreams – You want to intentionally help one
another to bring your dreams into reality.
The world is waiting to see what picture your life paints of who He is, so live
well!
Activation
• Share a dream and SMART Goals
• Overcoming setbacks - What setbacks to you see when looking
at pursuing your dreams?
– What could you do to keep the truth about you and your dream in front of
you?
– What plan do you have for the next time your dreams are challenged?
– What tools can you arm yourself with so that you are set up to overcome?
• What mindsets hinder you? – What thoughts are stopping
you from pursuing your dreams?
– Just tell me what to do? (Don’t feel the freedom to think for yourself and
do what you desire)
– I’m too busy (You’re running fast but not making any forward progress
towards your dreams)
– Someone will do it for me (You’re just waiting around for your dreams to
come through and/or God to provide your desires)
– I’m too small, too big, too young, too old….. (How you see yourself
prevents you from going after your dreams)
