This Is Bigger Than Me | Pastor Brian Bullock

Let's go to the book of Ephesians, chapter 3, and let's look at verses 20 through 21.

Ephesians 3 · chapter mention

Ephesians chapter 3.

Ephesians 3 · chapter mention

And let's look at verses uh 20 and 21.

I'm gonna read out of the King James version, and uh we're gonna read out of the holy version of the Bible.

Praise God.

King James.

I say holy, that's where I grew up.

I grew up on King James, and uh they said if you need it to be interpreted, then you don't have the Holy Spirit.

That's what they say to you, and so and so they didn't know that it was just different English, that's all.

Ephesians chapter 3, verse 20.

Ephesians 3:20

Alright?

It says this now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.

Amen.

Come on, man.

Now unto him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us.

The title of my message is This Is Bigger Than Me.

Can you just push a neighbor and say, This is bigger than me?

This is bigger than me.

Come on, man.

He'll push somebody and say, It's bigger than me.

This is bigger than me.

Father, open up our eyes and our ears that we may receive a word from you that would change and transform our lines forevermore.

Hind me behind your crown, so that your voice be louder than mine.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Everybody say, Everybody say, Amen.

Amen.

This is bigger than me.

Uh, there was a teacher, a professor, who walked into a college classroom.

And when he walked into the college classroom, he held this up to all his adult students, and he asked them, What is this?

And they said, It's a broom.

And then he then he grabbed, he grabbed this and he held it up and he said to this adult class, What is this?

They said it's a towel.

And he said, Wow, great, great job, class.

But then he went to a kindergarten class.

And when he went to the kindergarten class, he held this up.

He said, What is this?

They said it's a sword.

And he and the and he and he held this up and he said, What is this?

They said it's a cake.

And I was thinking, how is it possible that you can show the exact same things to a different group of people and they see two different things?

It's because one is seeing with one filter of eyes and the other one is seeing with another.

And my sneaky suspicion is that there was a time in your life that when God showed you a dream, you said, Wow, that's a sword.

When God showed you a gift, you said, Wow, look at that sword.

When God showed you a promise, you said, Wow, look at that sword.

But over time, when God now shows you a gift or a dream or a vision, that sword is now just a broom.

And that towel is just now a towel.

What was once a cape is now a towel.

What was once a sword is now a broom.

And my question is, what happened to the day where you were able to believe and dream and envision?

When did a sword just become a broom?

When did a cape just become a tower?

What happened in your life that made you stop dreaming?

And my assignment today is to get you to believe in a sword again and to get you to see a cape again.

Somebody shout hallelujah! Amen in this place.

Come here, my God.

Come on, come on, come on.

You got it, you got it, you got it, you got it.

Boom, boom.

There we go.

My my job and my goal is to reawaken your dream.

Reawaken your imagination to get you to start to say, Man, what happened to the day where I would see five years from now and smile?

What happened to the day where I would imagine myself doing certain things and I would see myself doing certain things?

What took place?

I'm trying to get your imagination back, and I can feel the judgment in the room.

You're so churchy, so judgmental.

You say, Pastor, leave all of that imagination stuff to kids.

Those are that's a kid thing.

I'm I'm sophisticated.

I'm I'm I'm a CEO.

I'm uh I'm an entrepreneur.

I'm I'm I'm uh I'm a landlord.

I own Airbnbs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You don't own them no more, but I own Airbnbs.

I'm I'm I'm I've got my master's, I've got my PhD.

This is why I believe the Bible says that you gotta stay with childlike faith because there's something about childlike faith that keeps imagining when everything else is falling apart.

Hear me, there are some of you in this room that say, Pastor, that's for kids, that's for the world.

That's a Disney quote.

That is not Bible, that is not God.

Well, let me push back on your theology because when I read Ephesians 3:20, I absolutely see space where God is inviting us to dream and to think and to imagine.

Ephesians 3:20

Pastor Way, do you see that?

Ephesians chapter 3, verse 20.

Ephesians 3:20

I read it out of King James, but you guys throw it up in the NIV.

In the NIV, it says, now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than what we ask or a mat.

There we go.

He says, I can do immeasurably more than you ask or imagine according to his power, which is Holy Spirit, that is at work within us.

Now let's do this deductively.

Let's do this deductively.

Keep that scripture up there and don't move it.

It says, Now to him.

I love that.

Let's let's start right there.

Now to him.

Now to him means that I know that my confidence is in him, not in me.

This is not now unto me, this is now unto him.

It's the idea that the reason why I can dream and have a vision and believe the promise is coming to pass because I know that my confidence is in him.

My confidence is not in me.

My confidence is not in people, my confidence is not in my plug or the hookup.

My confidence is in God.

The old saints would say, My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and his righteousness.

I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but holy lean on Jesus' name.

On Christ, the solid rock I stand.

All other ground is sinking sand.

It's the idea that now unto him that I know my hope is in him, my faith is in him, my trust is in him.

My eyes are on him.

I'm walking with him.

We're doing this through him.

Somebody say, Now unto him.

It ain't you.

You ain't got the power.

It's now unto him.

Watch this.

Who is able?

Somebody say able.

He's able, which means I know that I'm talking to a God that has the ability to do all things.

I know that my God ain't weak.

My God ain't running from no storm.

I serve a God that is able.

He can do the impossible.

He can do the things that you can't even imagine He can do.

He is the God that is able.

God is able to do just what He said He would do.

The Bible says, Who is the King of glory?

The Lord God strong and mighty.

Who is the King of glory?

The Lord God mighty in battle.

He's a mighty God, He's a strong God, He's a capable God.

He's a God that steps out on nothing and speaks things though that are not as though they were.

He is the God that can do all things.

Nothing is impossible for him.

He laughed at Abraham.

What is too hard for God?

Pastor, my child is sick, he's able.

Pastor, this marriage don't look like it's gonna last.

He's able.

Pastor, it just seemed like my kids are wilding out in the street right now.

He's able.

Pastor, it just feels like this next thing's about to break me.

He's able.

I'm between jobs right now, he's able.

Money's tight in the season, he's able.

God, some things are breaking down, but he's able.

Can you do me a favor?

Can you preach to your neighbor and say he's able?

Watch this.

God is able to do.

To do.

I love this because God is not just a watcher, he's a doer.

God don't just sit in heaven and watch you die down here.

He is a God that does.

He is a God that can do.

He is a God that performs.

He is not just a God that just says a thing, but he's also a God that can do the thing he says.

He is not just a God that watches from on high, but he comes down to earth and puts his hand in your situation.

We know this because in Genesis, the Bible says he spoke everything into being.

Let there be light, let there be, let there be, let there be, let there be, and there was.

But when it came to you, he put his hand in the dirt and he started to mold you from the dust of the ground.

That's why when we say he got it out the mud, yes, he did.

He done got it out the mud.

And God showed you that I can put my hands in a dirty situation and I can produce something good from the dust of the ground.

Do you anybody here can rejoice that you got a God that don't mind coming low enough to put his hand in your situation?

God says, Your mess is not too messy for me to put my hand in it.

God says, Your dirt is not too dirty for me to put my hand in it.

No, God is able to put his hand into the dirt and the muddy waters and muddy places of your life and create something beautiful out of it.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more.

You know what more mean?

More.

Let's not complicate it.

Let's not go over the top.

More mean more.

Mucho masquito, español.

Puguito.

More means in addition to.

Beyond.

Increase.

More.

More than.

Okay, watch this.

He can do, and he didn't just say more.

It's God over the top.

He can't just say more.

It's gotta be exceeding.

And abundantly.

Immeasurably.

Beyond.

More.

Watch this.

More than what?

More than what you can ask.

Imagine.

Okay, let's let's slow down.

Ask.

That is that is the largest request you can make from your mouth.

The largest thing you can say out loud.

Ask is what is the largest request you can possibly speak out loud?

He said, I can do more than that.

You guys say that?

What's the biggest thing you can ask me for?

I can do way more than that.

He says, ask or imagine, which means what's the largest picture my mind can perceive?

What is the greatest picture I can get in my mind?

He said, I can do more than that.

He said, Whatever picture you just came up with, I can do more than that.

Whatever you just requested, I can do more than that.

I can do exceeding and abundantly above everything that you just asked or imagined.

Here's my problem.

We're gonna give, but let's fight first.

Here's my fight with us as a church.

We want God to do more, but we ain't asking.

And we ain't imagining.

And if you gave up on a dream, how can God do more if you stop dreaming?

See, you want to talk about God's more, God wants to talk about your dream.

Because the reality of it is you left your dream in 1989, you haven't picked it up since.

And because you dropped that dream off in 1989, you're expecting God to pick it back up.

But God says, No, you go pick it back up and bring it back to me and watch it.

I can do more than anything you ask or imagine.

But I realize y'all ain't asking.

You ain't imagining.

You left your imagination at the door because Pastor, I, I, I'm not gonna, I'm not going to belittle myself.

No, what happened to the day where you were asking and you were imagining it.

I I I I'll give an example.

I told my kids one time, I my kids said, Pastor, uh uh uh dad, can you can I get 80?

I need 80 for Roblox.

If you don't know about it, just don't worry about it.

And so I said, You guys, I said, Here's what I do.

I'll give you$80.

I said, to get the$80, you save up$40.

When you save up$40, I'll give you$40 more.

And so my kids would come to me and say, Daddy, do you have the money yet?

We need the money.

I said, Where's your 40?

Well, we didn't finish all of our chores and we didn't do this, and we didn't do.

And I said, Well, then I ain't give you no 40.

But you promised, you said, no, I said, I can give you 40 more.

But if you don't bring the 40, how can I do more?

See, you want God to do more of nothing.

Because you bringing him nothing, so he's like, All right.

You you bring it and hear me.

I'm not saying that that you cannot pray a prayer, every prayer has to be, you know, what here's what I'm saying.

I'm saying that most of us have settled at small because we don't want to be hurt by asking for anything big.

So to protect your heart, you have stayed stuck on small because you think small is safe.

As long as I live a small life and have small conversations and be around small people and think small things with small stuff around me, I'll never get hurt.

I'll never have to take on more responsibility than I need to, I'll never put myself in a situation where I'll be embarrassed.

And I'm telling you that small don't mean safe.

The only safe in the kingdom is faith.

Wherever there's faith, there is safe because that's where God is.

But if you have left faith in order to stay on small, because you believe as long as you stay small, then it means you're never gonna be hurt.

Then I've got news for you.

You're gonna be hurt at some point or another because that's not the environment that God has called you to.

Can I just preach to somebody?

This might not be everybody's message, but I'm tired, I'm done with small.

I'm I'm I'm not I'm not I'm not having no more small conversations, I'm not hanging around with no more small people, I'm not hanging in small environments, I'm not giving up with no small ideas.

There's something on the inside of me that just says God is about to enlarge my territory, that he's trying to expand me.

He is trying to increase me.

Is there any person in here that can feel that for yourself?

That I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm done with small.

I's out of my height, outside of my height.

I can't do nothing about the height.

That's why I wear these boots, they make me walk around.

Here's the reality, though.

I've always been the shortest person in the room, but I've never been the smallest person in the room.

I uh just because you got a short height don't mean you need a small stature.

No, I've been the biggest person in every room I've ever been in.

And I'm trying to get you to a place that when you walk into an environment, when you walk into a room, you start shrinking back and you start lifting up your eye to the heels where your help comes from.

Because some of you, God is calling you out of small thinking and small mindedness and small talking and just everything around.

God said, Hey, because here what you did.

What you did was in order to shrink your expectations, you shrunk what God can do in your eyes.

You didn't just shrink you, you shrunk God.

So now God lives at the level of where you can imagine.

And since your imagination ain't going nowhere, God ain't doing nothing, and you get to accuse God of not moving or not doing anything new in your life, and it ain't got nothing to do with God's capability, it has everything to do with your inability to imagine anything beyond what you're sitting in at the moment.

You, you, you, you put a ceiling on God.

You you put limitations on God.

How we serve the same God, but he's moving one way in this person's life, and moving this way in your life, could it be he's handcuffed in your life because you have put limitations on him?

You kept him in one corner of your life and say, I just believe this is all God can do, and you're watching God do something in somebody else's life, and you're saying, Why how is it that God's doing one thing for them and he's not doing it in my life, and you're blaming God, but could it be you've lost your imagination?

Are y'all catching what I'm saying?

Is this making sense?

And so now God got to live down here with you.

God gotta stay down here with you because you do know that some things God can only do if you allow him to.

God don't break down every door in your life to bring you a blessing.

Some stuff you gotta have faith, you gotta ask, you gotta pray, you gotta position, you gotta be in the space.

But I'm just getting to, I'm just, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to push you to say, hey, ask and imagine.

Okay, forget all that.

Put God back in his rightful place.

Take the limits off of God.

Stop saying what he cannot do.

Stop talking.

Oh God.

Put God, can't what is it?

What was the uh rapper?

He said, put some respect on my name.

Can you he came in like put some respect on my name?

Play with something else.

Don't play with me.

It's just hey, hey, play with something else.

Don't play with God.

Put reverence back on God's name.

Stop telling God what he can't do, and stop telling other people what God can't do.

Just because he didn't do it through you don't mean he can't do it.

You don't believe he can.

That's why he ain't.

All right, all right, manhill, I'm gone.

Let me go.

Let me go.

Three things is gonna get you back to putting God in his rightful place.

Number one, I need you write this down.

Ask big.

Ask big.

That's right.

I'm about to push you.

Ask big.

James chapter 4, verse 2.

James 4:2

This verse says, You want what you don't have.

So you scheme and kill to get it.

By the way, kill don't just mean physical murder.

Kill some of y'all are trying to kill somebody else's reputation in order to get what they got because you're such a hater.

And because you want what they have, you try to destroy and kill their name in hopes that if I kill their name, your name will come up to the top.

The Bible calls you jealous.

You are jealous of what others have because you can't get it.

So you throw tantrums, you fight and wage war to take it away from them, but yet you don't have what you want because you don't ask God for it.

Push your neighbor say he's talking to you, not me.

I could never be a hater like that.

Many ask God.

And when you ask, ask me.

It's not that God's a genie, it's not that God is a Santa Claus.

It's I know who I'm dealing with, I know who I'm talking to.

I'm talking to the creator of heaven and earth.

There's nothing he cannot do.

And your level of asking reflects your attitude about his capabilities.

Are you asking on the level that God is on?

Your level of asking reflects your attitude about his capabilities.

We say we serve a big God.

Why do you serve a big God but keep praying little prayers?

Well, Pastor, how do you pray a big prayer?

You trying to, your prayer life, you try to pray things that are reasonable.

I just want to I want something that's within reason.

Why pray if it's gotta be within reason?

Where did you get that?

Well, I just want to be reasonable.

If I can touch the hem of his garment, I'll be made whole.

That is not reasonable.

If you just say the word, my servant will be healed.

That is not reasonable.

Jacob wrestled with God all night long, and when God said let me go, he said, I won't let you go until you bless me.

I'm not gonna be reasonable, I'm going to be unreasonable because I know you're capable of doing anything beyond what I can ask or imagine.

Hey, pray big, ask big.

Come on.

Well, I don't wanna, I don't wanna be disappointed.

Why not?

I don't want to be disappointed, why not?

Ask big.

Let's go.

Elijah said, let the rain stop, rain stop.

He said, let it rain and it rained.

Stop.

Being reasonable.

Ask me.

I fly a lot.

I fly a lot.

I'm always on always at the airport, always on a plane.

And the best part of a flight.

The best part of the flight is when they bring those biscoff cookies.

Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Hallelujah.

When the Biscoff cookie comes, it goes no no no no no no.

And every time, every every time I'm on a flight, every time I'm on a flight, I always call the flight attendant.

I say, come here.

And uh I don't want to give nobody no ideas.

And uh and they say, What's going on?

I said, Can you bring me some more Biscoff cookies?

And they say, I'll see what I can do.

And then I'll be sitting on the flight, just sitting there, and before you know it, here they come with a whole thing, and they be like, here you go, sir.

And I'm just like, ah, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I don't even eat them.

I look at them and just say, yeah, no, no, no.

I got a little tray, little tray sitting in front of me.

And whenever I got all these biscuff cookies, somebody sitting next to me.

They be looking at me like, how did you get all of them cookies?

And I look over at them and I say, I asked.

Can I preach to somebody real quick?

Somebody gonna be looking at you like, How did you get all that stuff?

You say I went into my prayer closet and I asked a big God for some big stuff.

Now you wanted the same thing that I had, but you rather be bitter with your arms folded, looking out the window.

I was just brave enough to go straight to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord and ask for what I needed.

Look at somebody, can you tell them?

Can you start asking big?

Can you go on ahead instead of being a hater?

Why don't you jump in and start saying, Shh, come here, God, can I ask you for some more?

Bitch, God cookies.

Because if you ask them, God will go back into the spirit realm.

He will step in to the natural realm and say, Hey, get cookies going, my dog.

Think bang.

Get out of here with that mind.

Thinking what a small thinking sound like.

Small thinking sound like.

Well, I've never done that.

I've never seen that.

So what?

So what?

Well, I've never seen that done in Charlotte.

So why'd you bring that up?

Well, I've never seen that in there.

Okay.

So what?

What you mean?

So God can only do what you can understand.

That's stupid.

Big big.

You know, it might be a little too late.

It might be a little too early.

Well, you know, I'm I'm I'm I'm tall.

Well, you know, I'm short, well, you know, I'm little, you know, I'm big, but well, you know where I come from.

And we know it's just so much.

It's so much.

It's so much.

I I almost let small thinking make me miss this$50,000 seed that somebody gave to our church because because because my wife, we were talking, I was like, man, I think I want to take this to social media.

And then I was like, you know what?

No, let's not do it because I don't want nobody thinking that I'm money hungry and I don't want to be put in into the world with all them preachers that are just taking up money.

So I said, no.

Then I was like, you know what, let's record it.

I recorded the video.

Hey, y'all, if you want to help us with this miracle offering Sunday, it'd be great.

And uh, and then we held on it for days.

And my wife was like, Do you want me to post it?

I was like, I just don't.

I started I started talking myself out of something, and then it just dawned on me, wait a minute.

If a hundred people hate on it, but one person gives to it, all I needed was the one that God was trying to give me.

The hundred haters gonna go on, they're gonna hate on something else tomorrow.

We posted it, and guess what?

Somebody saw it.

That was a fifty thousand dollar seed that somebody wanted to show.

How many things did your thinking talk you out of that God was trying to give you a seed, but he couldn't because your thinking told you, well, yeah, whatever they're gonna say?

I don't want my family hating.

Forget your hating family, do what God's telling you to do.

Your family gonna hate no matter what.

If I ask for the money to get in the building, they're gonna talk about you.

If we don't get the money to get the building, they're gonna talk about you.

Have to decide.

Talk about me while I'm in the building.

What am I trying to do?

I'm trying to get you to stop talking yourself out of stuff before it even happens.

Your thinking has gotten just too little.

It's called stinking thinking.

I mean, heel, some some of your thinking just stank.

Stank.

Stink and stank.

And if you ever been in a room that stink, when you smell it, you'd be like, ugh.

And you hold your nose because I don't want to inhale none of this air into my temple.

And I'm telling you that some thinking that's happening around you, you got to cover your nose.

And they're gonna say, Why are you covering your nose?

Because I don't want whatever y'all thinking, that's stink, and I don't want none of that getting in my head.

Some of you need to block some people, some of you need to stop following some people because you be scrolling and you letting somebody's thinking get into your head and talk you out of something the Holy Spirit is trying to lead you into.

We saw this with the children of Israel.

We saw when uh the the 12 spies got sent into the land.

12 spies, they came back.

10 said we can't do it, two said that we can.

Numbers chapter 13, verse 30, 31.

Numbers 13:30

They throw it on the screen.

It says Caleb, Joshua and Caleb were the ones who said we can.

Caleb silenced the people before Moses.

You gotta silence the stinking thinking, you gotta silence the small-minded people, you gotta take authority and say, Hey, I silenced those voices.

He said we should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.

But what happened?

The men who had gone up with him said, We can't attack those people, they are stronger than we are.

And I've just come to silence all the hating thinking and stinking thinking and small-minded thinking.

Yes, I understand that there are facts that are a part of this.

Yes, I'm very aware of the difficulty of what we're trying to do.

Yes, I absolutely understand that this has not been done, but yes, I get I've heard it and I got it.

But after I got all the information and I heard all the facts, my spirit still says, This is for me, and we need to go.

So hear me, I don't need to go through none of that no more.

I've heard it, I've thought about it, I've counted the cost, and my spirit says, We're going into that land and we're going to get it.

And once you make up in your mind that we're gonna do it, go and do it.

Put your head down, get into God and do what He's calling you to do.

But you gotta think big.

I ain't never done nothing where I had enough, we never had enough people for any service in our lives.

We've never what everything was faith, everything, but you gotta think.

Some of you are spending your thinking, talking yourself out the same energy it takes to think of the worst, it takes to think of the best.

They're both faith, by the way.

It takes faith to worry.

Matter of fact, all of you who say I don't have an imagination, yes, you do.

You know how to imagine horrible things happening all the time.

You imagine the worst case scenario all the time.

You can see it vividly.

Matter of fact, you can see, I can see right now, that thing's gonna fall apart.

I gotta see, I gotta say, I'm just telling you the same imagination that you use to think of the worst case scenario.

It is the exact same imagination that you gotta use to think of the best case scenario.

And sometimes you gotta stop yourself, you gotta take authority over your own mind, and you gotta say, hey, this mind that's not how we're gonna think, this is not where we're going.

You gotta feed, okay.

The only way to eliminate a small thought is to replace it with a big one.

Oh my god.

So some of you are like, How do I get this thought out of my head?

You gotta start thinking bigger, you gotta start feeding your mind on things above, you gotta start feeding your mind on the spiritual realm, and all of a sudden it will eliminate all that small thinking that's happening in your life.

Here's my last point you gotta ask big, you gotta think big, and then my last point, you gotta dream big.

Come on, come in here, write that down.

Dream big.

Everybody say dream big.

Musicians, you guys can come play.

I want you to dream again.

And I want you to dream big.

And what I've learned is that God can't change.

Before God expands what's out here, He's gotta expand what's in here first.

See, you gotta see it here first before you see it out here.

You're gonna see me in a building, but you didn't see when the building was in me.

Because the building was in me before I ever got to the building.

Some of you want to be husbands.

You you're saying, well, when I meet the right one, then I'll slow down.

No, no, no, no, no.

You gotta see it here first.

You and then you start attracting what you're becoming.

I got ladies in here saying, I'll be a wife when you be a husband.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, you gotta you gotta you gotta see wife in here now, and you start to attract what you are becoming.

Here's what I wrote down, and it's so important.

Uh asking is what comes out of my mouth.

Thinking is what happens in my mind.

Dreaming is what I can see by faith.

Asking is what comes out of my mouth, thinking is what happens in my mind, but dreaming is what I can see by faith.

Hear me, man.

You need to dream because you need a picture of tomorrow.

Because here's what the enemy does: the enemy will stop your imagination, and the reason why he'll stop or infiltrate your imagination, because he wants you to be stuck on your present pain.

And if I think that my present pain is all there is to life, I will never get the energy to break up out of this thing.

Some of you smoke, drink, throw up in front of a toilet every weekend because you can't see past Friday.

The reality of it is you don't have any dream that makes you put that alcohol down.

You don't have a dream big enough to put the smoking down.

The reason why you can't save money is because you you spend everything you get, because all you think about is today's enjoyment.

But if you ever get a dream big enough, you might find it so easier to save and budget.

Because I got a picture in my head of where I'm going.

You eat anything now because you can't see past the season you're in.

But if you ever get a picture of what your body could look like, if I start to be disciplined and if I start to go ahead and make some decisions, you need a dream because a dream can pull you out of the mud you're in right now.

You need a dream because sometimes you need to see a better tomorrow in your mind so that you can get out of the muck in the mud that you're in today.

Do I got anybody in the room that says, God, give me my dream back?

You you you gotta see some some of you you wake up, you you you you barely wake up, and when you wake up, there ain't no there ain't no drive to your wake up because there ain't no dream for you to wake up to.

You're sluggish, and you think it's your diet, and you think I need more sleep, and you think I need a vacation, and maybe it's the church, and maybe I'm serving too much, maybe no.

You need a dream that wakes you up.

You need a dream to pump some adrenaline.

What you really need is a dream to awaken Holy Spirit, for Holy Spirit to awaken a dream, because when the dream gets the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit get the dream, Holy Spirit starts to move in your life.

This is Bible, Hebrews 12, verse 2 says, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy, watch this, for the joy, future, future that was set before him.

Hebrews 12:2

He endured the cross today, today, despising the shame.

He set it down at the right hand of he's he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

How did Jesus make it through the cross?

He had a picture in his mind of what's coming in the future, and some of you gotta endure today's pain, and you can endure today's pain when you get that picture in your mind.

Oh, when you get your dream again, you actually gonna get younger.

You're aging faster than you're supposed to because you ain't got nothing to live for.

Let me talk to some of my seasoned saints.

You gotta start dreaming for your grandbabies, you gotta start dreaming for your great grandbabies.

When you start dreaming, say, I'm gonna be there, baby girl, for your wedding, I'm gonna be there, baby girl, for your graduation.

You start getting some type of strength about you.

I'm gonna be there when you, I'm gonna walk with you, I'm gonna be there with you.

You gotta get a dream on the inside.

That dream will actually make you younger than you've ever been.

What stole your dream?

Was it a divorce?

Was it a job layoff?

What took your dream?

Minhu?

What took your dream?

What was it a disappointment?

What was it a storm?

What took your dream?

Everybody listen to me.

Whatever it was, you survived it.

Whatever took your dream, you survived it.

And since you survived it, you might as well dream again.

Can you look at your neighbor and tell him, dream again?

Tell your neighbor, dream again.

Maybe the first dream didn't happen.

Maybe the first dream didn't happen and it didn't come to fruition.

But I dare somebody to dream again.

I dare somebody to ask again.

I dare somebody to think bigger again.

I dare somebody to walk out on faith again.

Whatever it was that took your dream, God says, Don't worry, dream again.

Dream again, because this is bigger than you.

Hey, this is bigger than you.

This thing that God wants to do in your life, it is bigger than just you having more money.

It's bigger than just you have his kingdom.

God wants to expand and multiply you because as he expands and multiplies you, he's gonna reach everyone around you.

If I'm talking to you, I need you to say, God, I receive it.

Come on, say God, I receive it.

Come on, say God, I receive it.

Come on, midhill, come on, say you are more say you are Come on, some of you, you're starting up right now.

Some of you there's a fire starting up right now.

Come on, somebody come up with the bigger Come on, come on, it's a good one.
