If a young child is asked “What is your dream?”
they reply ‘General’, ‘President’, ‘Diplomat’ without hesitation.
They do not think what steps they must take in order to be such a person.
When you ask the college students “What do you want to do in future”,
they might answer “I would like to work in a big company.”,
“I would like to start my own business.”
Their answers are a little more realistic, but it is still fanciful.
At last, when you ask the adults like 40-50 years old “What do you want to be?”
they might reply “What can I start at my age?”
I would like to work hard and raise my children well.”
They realize that there will be no more development at their age.
Humans can feel frustrated by growing old.
Mere man could be increasingly corrupted day by day.
Their thoughts, body, courage and will fall down.
However, spiritual person has a tremendous dream, even though
they are very old. They know that they can have a new dream when
they obey the Holy Spirit and their thoughts are ruled by God remembering
the past experience of the Holy Spirit every day.
They believe that when they hold the Holy Spirit, they can carry out uncontrollable
things that could take 5 years in 6 months. The spiritual person could accomplish
the huge things in their final year.
We must be dreaming dreams by the Holy Spirit.
When we dream a dream by the Holy Spirit, the desert will be changed to
the highway, manna will fall down from Heaven and water will come out of
the rock.
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.” (2 Corinthians 4:16)
Despite how much life is left, a person fillied with the Holy Spirit can achieve
great things.
