We had an awesome time on this past Sunday on the Dream Catalyst Weekly Prayer Call. For many people fear is what keeps them from pursuing and fulfilling God's dream for their lives. All of us must learn how to effectively deal with fear in order to continue to progress in the things He assigned us to do.


During the call this week I shared 4 keys to conquering fear that will position you to move forward and render fear powerless in your life. Just click the link below to listen and enjoy!

I look forward to your comments below...

The Poor and the Marketplace

Ruth Gleaning in the Field of Boaz | Source: www.mainlesson.com
"When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God" ~ Leviticus 19:9-10
In a recent devotional Os Hillman, founder of Marketplace Leaders, wrote about the responsibility of helping take care of the poor. From a Biblical perspective those in business are supposed to play a pivotal role in this process, even more than the government or churches. He writes:
So how does God want us to care for the poor? Is it through government welfare programs, food stamps, or soup kitchens? God gives us his answer in the Old Testament story of Boaz, Ruth and Naomi. It was customary for farmers to not glean their entire fields in order to leave some of the crop for the poor to glean. This allowed the poor to come at the end of the day and work to receive their provision. This is how the widow Naomi was able to care for herself. Boaz allowed the poor in his community to come to his field at the end of the day to get the leftovers of the harvest.

Notice that God created a partnership between the marketplace and the poor. I believe it is the marketplace that has a responsibility to the poor. By providing an opportunity to glean something from our businesses through an opportunity to work, we provide provision and dignity to the poor.
Finally Hillman asks, "What are the gleanings in your business? Consider how you might serve the poor."

Have you ever thought about how your business can serve the poor? I would love to hear your thoughts below...

#YourDreamMatters: The Giver, the Gift, Grace, and his Glory

Don't believe the lie that your life doesn't matter or that God has no use for you. His dream for your life is connected to your purpose and people. Your dream matters more than you know! Join me at Prayer Assembly COGIC in Phoenix, AZ on Sunday, December 28th as I share this powerful message.

Like Jesus, Your Dream is God's Love Gift to the World

12/24/2014

Comments

 
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him would not perish, but have everlasting life." ~ John 3:16
Picture
As we celebrate the birth of Christ in this season (and what should be the reason to celebrate all seasons), you must realize that your dream was not meant just for you. There are people who are closely connected to the obedience and fulfillment of your dream. God wants to bless the world through your dream.

The #1 motivating factor in all of this is the fact that God gave Jesus to the world because of love. Likewise, God is demonstrating love to the world through the dream that He gave to you to change lives and transform communities.

Please enjoy the playback from this week's Dream Catalyst Prayer Call. Also, in keeping with the Christmas spirit, during the prayer God revealed a great picture in how we should related to His Word as a security blanket as represented by Linus in A Charlie Brown Christmas. Enjoy the recording and have a blessed Christmas!

Why Is He Living on Top of a Bus for 30 Days?

12/23/2014

Terence Lester, founder of Love Beyond Walls, has made a choice that most people probably wouldn't make even if they were getting paid. He has decided to live on top of a bus for 30 days to raise awareness and money for a unique idea to restore dignity to homeless people. His goal is to raise funds to retrofit a 30 passenger bus and turn it into a mobile barbershop, closet, and shower to serve homeless individuals in the city of Atlanta, and under resourced communities.

So he started camping out on December 14 and he won't be coming down until January 14. 11 Alive News in Atlanta just did a story on him and this great initiative...

How You Can Make 2015 The Greatest Year Ever In Your Business!

12/18/2014

Comments

 
Picture
Here's a quick survey to determine how truly ready you are for 2015 to be the greatest year ever in your business:

  • Are you tired of making resolutions or goals at the beginning of the year and then falling through before January is even over?
  • Are you sick of getting to the end of the year and wondering why you didn't get the results you were expecting over the past 12 months?
  • Are you frustrated about not having tangible evidence of financial progress that you promised yourself you would make this year?
  • Are you through with people telling you to "dream big" and "write the vision" without showing you how to do it well and live it out?
  • Or have you given up on your dream because you think your window of opportunity has closed because you had too many years of unfulfilled expectations?

If you answered "Yes!" to any of these questions then you need to join me for a special tele-seminar, Dream Mapping for Entrepreneurs, tonight at 8 PM EST.

Call-in: (712) 432-0850

You have been in the wilderness of your dreams for too long. It's time for you to take over your promise land!

Your Dream is Connected to Your Dominion

12/17/2014

Picture
During this week's prayer call devotional I shared how God, like he did with Joseph, will take you through a process of maturation where you go from dreaming to interpreting dreams to managing dreams. The place where God has called you to manage dreams - industry, region, community, etc. - is the place of your designated dominion. This means your God-driven dream is the platform for your influence and authority in the earth.

Enjoy the audio recording below and I look forward to you being on the Dream Catalyst Prayer Call call this Sunday!

Study Shows A Strong Correlation Between Youth Jobs and Crime Reduction in Chicago

12/16/2014

Comments

 
Picture
A few years ago, the city of Chicago started a summer jobs program for teenagers attending high schools in some of the city's high-crime, low-income neighborhoods. The program was meant to connect students to work, but officials also hoped that it might reduce crime-related problems that arise when there's no work to be found.

The program produced some unexpected positive results, including a major reduction in crime, even long after the summer program had concluded. Researcher Sara Heller, of the University of Chicago Crime Lab, conducted the research and one of her observations was:
"A lot of things could be going on here. Teenagers who might have committed crime to get money would no longer need to when they have a job. If their added income allowed parents to work less, they may also have gotten more adult supervision. It's also possible that students who were busy working simply didn't have idle time over the summer to commit crime — but that theory doesn't explain the long-term declines in violent arrests that occurred well after the summer program was over."
Whatever the combination of reasons that crime decreased among this population of teens, it makes sense that kids need jobs, which also serve as a great deterrent to at-risk behavior. When the conversation about solutions in our communities shifts to justice, poverty and jobs must be at the center of that conversation.

Dream Catalyst Prayer Call Playback #3

12/9/2014

Comments

Your dreams are significant to the plans that God has for the people in the world. The dream He gave you is an answer to somebody's prayer. People are longing to see the light of God's love shine through your talent, gifting, ideas, passion, diligence, and faithfulness. When you stay on the sidelines with your dream somebody loses.

In this prayer call I passionately discussed how the conditions of our communities are directly correlated to Christians not pursuing the dreams or fulfilling the callings that God established for their lives. Our communities need your God-given dreams to manifest. Can God send you or shall He look for another?


Enjoy the recording and I look forward to your feedback...

Please join us for the next call this Sunday night at 9:30 PM EST. Also, please join the Dream Catalyst Prayer Call Facebook Group (click here), and feel free to share you prayer request there or with me directly.
