Dream with Me / Dare to Dream
Kid dreaming, “Daddy, I want to be a Doctor when I grow up… Or a dinosaur.”

Daydreaming…
“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas”
Little dreams are still dreams…
Dream big…
Numbers 12:4-6 KJV
[4] And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. [5] And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. [6] And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
What is a Dream?
Who can Dream?
Joel 2:28 KJV
[28] And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Old men are not supposed to Dream. Dreaming is for the young. Old men typically dream of retirement or moving to a better climate or paying off the mortgage BUT IN GOD the age is not a factor. I believe there are some fifty, sixty, seventy and eighty year olds that God wants to birth dreams in You.
I want you to feel the excitement of a ten year old when he finds out that there are enough scraps left over from the construction site to erect a treehouse in the backyard.
I speak creative flow into the house. If you can dream it, you can see it. If you can see it, you can pursue it if you pursue it you will find it in Jesus name.
What prompts a dream?

Sharing a dream
Do dreams really come true?
How do I live my dream?
“I always get to where I’m going by walking away from where I’ve been.” Winnie the Pooh
Orville Wright said, “If we work on the assumption that what is accepted as true really is true, then there would be little hope for advance.”
“Dream the impossible dream.” Mitch Leigh, Joe Darion
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly cause
And I know if I’ll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lay peaceful and calm
When I’m laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To fight the unbeatable foe
To reach the unreachable star
