Dreaming

A friend sent this me in an email. Enjoy

By Dr. Gailyn Van Rheenen

Dream the dream . . . again.

Walking with God--personally, intimately, faithfully.
Being transformed into God's likeness.
Absorbing God's love, seeing His holiness, witnessing His faithfulness.
Shedding anger, losing lust, giving up personal advantage.
Reframing ego--from our glory to His glory.
Praying, fasting, worshipping . . . communing with God.
Bowing before Him, acknowledging that He alone is Lord.

Walking in community--personally, intimately, faithfully.
Journeying together with God to become like Him.
Putting on love which binds us together in perfect unity.
Loving the unlovable, accepting the unacceptable -- within each of us.
Encouraging the young, listening to the old, growing together in Christ.
Expecting the miracle--bondage broken, addictions cured, bodies
healed.
Confessing sins to one another--feeling freedom, love, and acceptance.

Walking on mission with God--personally, intimately, faithfully.
Emulating the ministry of Jesus.
Becoming God's ministers of reconciliation.
Becoming spiritual friends with searchers and skeptics.
Equipping God's people for works of ministry.
Doing church God's way- not my way.
Training leaders to plant churches that plant churches that . . . .
