If you are going to move forward toward your

dream and become the person God wants you to

be, you must pull up stakes and refuse to let limitations define you.

IMAGINE WHAT OUR LIVES WOULD BE

LIKE IF VISIONARIES HAD REFUSED TO PULL UP STAKES

AND JUMP FENCES:

Knife and pain are two words in surgery that must forever be associated in the

consciousness of the patient. To this compulsory combination we shall have

to adjust ourselves.

Thank you, Drs. William Morton, Horace Wells and Crawford Long, for pioneering the use of anesthesia in

surgery in the 1840s.

“The demonstration that no possible combination of known substances, known forms of machinery, and no forms of force can be united in a

practical machine by which man shall fly long distances through the air,

seems to the writer as complete as it is possible for the demonstration of

any physical fact to be.” (Simon Newcomb, Canadian-born

Astronomer)

Thank you, Wilbur and Orville Wright, for being bored with bicycles and

pursuing your dream to fly.

An Astounding Promise:An Astounding Promise:

“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am

going to the Father.”

“Now unto Him who is able to do exceeding

abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the

glory (Ephesians 3:20).”

“If God meant for to us to live inside an invisible fence, why did

He place some of His choicest servants in prison, a lions’ den, a

human-sized furnace, a shipwrecked boat? Why did he send Paul to Rome, or Jonah to

Nineveh, or Esther to the palace in Persia? Because they had

purpose to fulfill, and God meant for them do discover the

unlimited nature of His power and love,

Here’s the bottom line:Here’s the bottom line:

If God is everywhere and everything that exists is before

Him, He is calling for us to follow Him back to the streets to

redeem a world caught in the vise grip of death. If we stay on the

porch, where it’s supposedly safe, we’ll not only miss our

destiny, but the roof may collapse—and we’ll deserve it!

The United States of America would become a

nation filled with Christians whose number one goal in life is personal

peace (or safety) and prosperity.

“You can live on bland food so as to avoid an ulcer; drink no tea or coffee or other stimulants, in the name of

health, go to bed early and stay away from night life, avoid all

controversial subjects so as never to giver offense; mind your won

business and avoid involvement in other people’s problems; spend

money only on necessities and save all you can. You can still break you

neck in the bathtub, and it will serve you right.”

 

Living your perfect life will not achieve the purpose of

GodBecause His perfect

purposes will only be achieved through

imperfect people who believe that anything is possible with a perfect

God. 

So do not fear, for I am with you; Don’t be

dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold

you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)
