Shout out to Chris Soto… a new friend of mine. I do have to correct him though. As a powerlifter he listed on his facebook page foods to eat after a work out… and he forgot the most important one. BACON! 

Oh and Chris, I will get you a navy blue top for those boots, but it will have a big orange C in the middle of it!

I would imagine most men start life with a great dream of what their life will look like… and for whatever reason the dream goes flat. So Today lets talk about how to keep the dream alive or for some of us…. resuscitate it

 

 

Abraham - Didn’t know this God who approached him

Told to leave his whole family

Given an amazing and overwhelming vision for his life

It was given to him at the age of 75

Then made to wait 25 more years

And after the vision came true he was told to kill the dream (which was his son)

 

 

So how did he navigate the challenge of following his vision for his life? 

 

 

 

STEPS

Imagine the possibilities, the future, the unknown 

Abraham look into the sky see the stars…

 What a vision for the future. 

And why the stars? because he knew he would see them every night.

Thats important because it is at night when the enemy can attack you. 

Can’t sleep due to problems, worries, anxious thoughts? Go out and look at the stars. Imagine the possibilities. 

 

 

Take one step a day

Abraham left his family not knowing the whole dream or vision or outcome. But he started with one step.

  - He took action. You gotta take action… BUT…. 

 

*Do you think he would have followed God if he had known all the things that would seemingly line up against him? I don’t think so.

I know I wouldn’t have… you wouldn’t have. 

 

Don’t worry about the outcome- that is 894,338 steps away. Just take one step today. and see where it goes. I think you will be surprised at the momentum that builds in you that drives you to the fulfillment of the vision in your life. 

 

 

Keep track of any indicator that God is moving in that direction

Abraham blew it many times… he sold his wife as a prostitute to the king to save his skin.

He doubted…

Gets another woman pregnant to try to speed up the process (how does that work anyway???) 

In all these things God continued to be faithful. 

 

indicator after indicator that God wants to fulfill his vision for his life.

 

I keep a list of the indicators that God has a plan for my life and he is moving me in the direction. It’s a list on my phone. 

 

I encourage you to do the same. Save memories, prophetic words, coincidences etc…

 

 

Don’t give up

he had such a faith in God that even after the first part of his vision came into fruition (his son was born) God than tests him and says sacrifice your son. Abraham was going to do it- an angel had to stop him. He had learned to trust in God’s faithfulness so much that he was willing to do this. 

That is where I want to be… you have such a rock solid faith in God that even if you think your vision will die, you trust God to bring it back to life.

 

What is todays challenge: Write these 4 steps down and track them over the weekend… and maybe longer.
