Area Director Dale Coad



Has anyone robbed your dreams?    The stark realities of life can squelch your dreams.   Regardless of your age, there still are kingdoms to conquer.    Caleb was sent out with others to explore Canaan, which God declared He was giving to Israel.   When Caleb came back he boldly proclaimed, “We should go up and take possession of the land!”   The others were frightened and insisted, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”  [Num 13]  Dream killers.  Budgets, time pressure, colleagues, doubting friends who boldly declare, ‘It can’t be done!’   Sometimes, “It can’t be done” is a matter of historical perspective.   The inventor of the telephone, Alexander G. Bell, offered to sell his invention to Western Union.   The committee responded, “...he claims to have discovered an instrument of great practical value in communication.  The central exchange alone would represent a huge outlay to say nothing of the electrical equipment.    Any development of this kind which Bell so fondly imagines is utterly out of the question.”   History vindicated Bell’s dream and exposed Western Union’s folly.   In Acts 2:17 God declares that we will dream dreams as He pours out His spirit.  Let’s keep dreaming bigger dreams.  Don’t let the naysayers rob you of the dreams that God has put in your heart.
