What A Great Dream Looks Like
“He said to them, ‘Listen to
this dream I had.’” Genesis
37:6
In 1989, a movie called “Field of Dreams” was
released. Kevin Costner played Ray
Kincella, a 37 year-old man who had never done a crazy thing in his life until
he heard a voice one day that said, “Build it and he will come.” You see, Ray had had a stormy relationship
with his dad. As a rebellious child of
the 60’s, he scorned his dad who loved baseball, refusing even to play catch
with him. His father died before he
could make things right. When he plowed
his cornfield over and made a baseball field, everyone said he was crazy for
following his dream, but through the magic of the movie he could be reunited
with his father as a young man. The
theology is certainly not correct, and the plot is nowhere near reality, but
that is what makes the movies, the movies.
One thing is for certain;
people will come to a place where their dreams can be fulfilled. God’s field of dreams is not in Iowa, but
rather in the hearts of His people. How
do we know what a dream looks like? This
list below gives us a good description of what a God-given dream looks like:
A God-given dream will stir your passion.
A God-given dream will be humanly impossible to
accomplish.
A God-given dream will make an impression on you for a
lifetime.
A God-given dream will cause you to exercise strong
faith.
The enemy of our soul will
attack a God-given dream.
Prayer Focus: Pray that
Fredericksburg Wesleyan Church will be a true “field of dreams” where people
can find and fulfill their dreams. Pray
that the whole congregation will be united in our dream to build a larger
facility. Pray that we can be one so
that the world can be won. Pray for
church leaders to have discernment for decisions that affect this dream. Ask God to protect our dream from the enemy.
