Conquering Your Silent Dream Killers
January 31, 2021Psalm 20:4
May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, And fulfill all your purpose.
God places dreams in our hearts so that we can…fulfill “all of our purpose”.
Dream Killers
1. A bad attitude and complaining
2. Wrong relationships
Proverbs 13:20 NKJV
He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.
MSG
Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces.
3. Your Words
Proverbs 18:21 NKJV
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
MSG
Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit you choose.
SILENT Dream Killers:
1. Lack of Focus
Luke 9:51
Now when the time was almost come for Jesus to be received up to heaven, He steadfastly and determinedly set His face to go to Jerusalem.
Luke 9:53
Some people didn’t like that Jesus was so focused, and they won’t be happy about the changes YOU need to make to be focused either!
Isaiah 50:7
Therefore I have set My face like a flint
Acts 21:12-14
Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, “What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.”
Philippians 3:13-14
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do…
Lack of focus will NOT be my silent dream killer today!
2. Procrastination
Proverbs 24:30-34
I walked through the fields and vineyards of a lazy, stupid person. They were full of thorn bushes and overgrown with weeds. The stone wall round them had fallen down. I looked at this, thought about it, and learned a lesson from it: have a nap and sleep if you want to. Fold your hands and rest awhile, but while you are asleep, poverty will attack you like an armed robber.
Proverbs 28:19
A hard-working farmer has plenty to eat. People who waste time will always be poor.
3. Insecurity
2 Timothy 1:6-7
This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
Philippians 4:13
You can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens you!
1 John 4:4
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
Insecurity will NOT be my silent dream killer today!
Lack of focus will NOT be my silent dream killer today!
Procrastination will NOT be my silent dream killer today!
The greatest dream any of us could ever have is to be a Child of God.
