If you are a dreamer, your dream is most likely bigger than you but you serve a God that is bigger than you and your dream!!! He can afford it so dream big, pray big and believe big!!!

"More"
"But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew."(Exodus 1:12a)
"They multiplied and grew". I'm glad the Bible is a sure Word of prophesy that describes my future. I'm thrilled about the fact that "If God be for us, who can be against us". It doesn't say that people won't come against us or criticize us, it just won't do them any good. In spite of whatever comes against us we will multiply and grow!! "The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways."(Deuteronomy 28:7) It really doesn't matter who or what comes against you, it's just a matter of time until you are delivered from whatever or whomever satan is using to annoy you. I find it amazing that the more this verse comes true in my life, the more the devil is annoyed. There are several things you can count on, one of them is human nature. Human nature is basically a fleshly religious system in itself. Adam and Eve were religious in their behavioral patterns and there was no religion, no churches, no preachers, etc... The one thing you can do that you won't be forgiven for, by people, is be blessed and successful in your ministry or life or anything for that matter. People will forgive you for every sin in the book but don't dare be successful at what you do. The more bricks the Israelites made, the more it disturbed the taskmasters of their bondage. God doesn't want us to fail, He wants us to accomplish His purpose in the earth, which with His blessings we can. We the People of God are growing, multiplying and His Kingdom is spreading all over the world. God loved the world and gave His Son, Jesus Christ for it, He has plans for you. The more the prison system pressed down on God's people in the book of Exodus, the more they expanded on the horizon. I would strongly suggest that you not afflict any one simply because you don't understand them or because of your jealousy of them because the more you do, the more God will bless them. The afflictions of the taskmasters just caused God's people to flourish, your criticism is just like throwing gas on a fire. God comes the aid of His Anointed and Blesses them whether you approve or not. "The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."(Deuteronomy 28:8). Blessed we are and Blessed we shall be!!!

"Hurting on the inside?"
There is no hurt like a hurt from a "friend"! Our friend base can be found is various places in our lives. We can have a relationship in our family that can also be considered our best friend, someone at work or a person we go to church with on Sunday. I think most of you that attend church will agree with me that there is no hurt like a "Church Hurt"! We don't expect the ones we trust to hurt us but they do and when they violate us its not just painful but it is devastating and can bring us to a state of disillusion. An experience like this can cause us to wonder if they were ever really as close to us as we thought, was our relationship that one sided and was I that blind? The truth is, when you love people, you are going to get hurt! I wish I could tell you a different story but it wouldn't be the TRUTH!!! "For God so LOVED the world that He GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON!!!!"
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"(Luke 4:18)
Jesus came to "Heal the Brokenhearted", give Him your pain today. He is the only one that can ease your aching heart!!

"Voices"
Be very careful what you allow yourself to hear because it will have an effect on your future. What you mentally process will either have a positive or a negative influence on you. Whatever has an influence on you will bleed over into the lives of those around you!! The people around you are most likely important to you or at least they should be..... What do you have inside you to give to the ones you love?
"BELIEVE in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; BELIEVE his prophets, so shall ye prosper."(2 Chronicles 20:20)
Please find someone that hears from God and listen to them, they will pour blessings into your life!! They will be used by the Holy Spirit to challenge you, shake you, bless you but they will also change you!!!

When boys become Men....
When boys become Men, they act like Men!!!! They lead their families to God, they stand up for what is right and stand against what is wrong. It's easy to play but life is not a game, it is the real thing. Time will tell if you are a boy or a man and as the old man said, "Don't send a boy to do a Man's job!"
"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit (act) you like men, be strong."(1 Corinthians 16:13). It is what it is, boys!!!

"When the last become first..."
Saturday was a great day in Mississippi football for Mississippi State and Ole Miss, a great day for Mississippi!!! I personally don't have a lot of spare time on my hands to watch sports but I did watch both games in full to support our teams. The last college game I recall watching was live and in person in Starkville, MS in the late 70's when I set one of those cheerleader Pom Pom's on fire but we will save that story for another day!! (Thank God I'm over 40 and it was before smart phones) If I understand my college football adviser, Dr Krista Boyette, State came from unranked to #1 in 22 days, Ole Miss was ranked 18th in preseason and is now #3. That is amazing and I'm always very interested in success stories. We can learn from others if we watch and listen. (If these facts are not correct it's my lack of understanding, not Dr B's lack of game knowledge, trust me) As a Preacher, I call this a "paradigm shift", when things change in a short period of time which causes other dominoes to fall in place. It causes players that are not rated as good as their peers on supposed better teams to be so hungry to play the game that they outplay players that have a higher rating. It's something within that causes you to push past where you were last week. I promise you if we apply this hunger to every area of our life, our lives will change for the better. Stop listening to the people that say you CAN'T and only listen to the "You Can" voices!! You can do all things through Christ strength in you and don't let anyone tell you any different. God can change your rank in just a few days while you can struggle for years to get it done and still fall on your face in fatigue!!
