“The slothful man says, ‘There is a lion without! I will be slain in the streets!’”
— Proverbs 22:13
One problem in life is that too many people stop dreaming when they become an adult. Children have many marvelous dreams, but too many times we abandon those dreams by the time we become adults.
I think of a young boy who was but seven years old when Sputnik circled the earth. He became enamored with space. This was in Costa Rica, and he was very poor. But eventually, through hard work, he became the first Hispanic astronaut. He had a dream and would not let it go.
We must work at our dreams. Many people think this is some sort of magic wand. They erroneously imagine that it is some sort of a genie in a bottle. Not so.
One of the reasons some people do not dream large dreams is because they are too lazy to even think about putting feet under them. The very thought of it makes them tired.
Sometimes we can invent supposedly “Christian” excuses for what is really just laziness. “I can’t go into politics because it’s all a dirty business.” “I can’t work on a movie because Hollywood is just corrupt.” “I can’t tell my neighbor about Jesus because he doesn’t want to hear it—besides, it would be unchristian for me to be so pushy.” An excuse is an excuse is an excuse, no matter how we tend to mask it. May God grant us the discernment to see the difference between legitimate obstacles and just plain excuses.
God, help us to see clearly the dream You have planted in our heart as opposed to that which is there from selfish ambition and give us the wisdom to know the difference…
BY GOD’S STRENGTH, GODLY DREAMS
CAN BECOME REALITY.  | ||||||

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

BIBLICALLY BASED DREAMING
CHRISTIANS ARE BLESSED
Christians are Blessed
Because God is Not Counting our Sins
I am against sin. Sin kills, steals and destroys and is not where any believer wants to hang out.
I am against sin. Sin kills, steals and destroys and is not where any believer wants to hang out.
But an incorrect belief about how God sees and has dealt with our sin is very damaging, leading to guilt and condemnation.
The truth believed is the only thing that sets us free.
There is no condemnation in Christ.
Many claim that Christians can only be blessed by God if they do not sin. But God states that the one who is blessed is the one “whom the Lord will not count his sin.”
“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.” Rom 4:7-8 - Quote of Psalm 32:1-2 ESV
Now if a person was not sinning, why would the Lord need to not count their sin?
In these verses, King David is talking prophetically about a blessed person who does sin, and God does not count their sin. Who are these blessed people?
You are one of them if you have placed your faith and trust in Jesus as Savior.
Not counting our sins is one of the biggest blessing’s God can give us.
Why is God not counting/imputing our sins?
The problem is not our sin.
The forgiveness of our sins has been fully dealt with on the cross.
The problem is our inherited Sin nature under Adam that leads to the inheritance of death.
Jesus came to save us from this inherited fallen Sin nature we received under Adam. He did not come to see if we can qualify to get into heaven.
He came to fully qualify all who would trust in His righteousness.
When we believe, we are born-again under Jesus, our past sins are forgiven, we are credited with His righteousness, made right with God for past iniquities, become co-heirs with Christ of eternal life and are placed under grace where sin is not counted/imputed.
Sin is not imputed when there is no law. Rom 5:13b NAS
Finish short study HERE.
While all the above is True, it is the Word of God, however,
This is also True:
No one who lives in Him keeps on Sinning.
No one who continues to Sin
Has either seen Him or known Him.
(1 John 3:6)
