What's up friends? It's E! And welcome to this week's episode of Midweek Rise Up. Let's dive right in because I am so excited about the word for this week, which is Dare. And it's simply because I want to dare you to dream.

2020 is coming up and it's time to do what you've been putting off for years. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

The type of dream that God has put on your heart and he keeps nudging you to do it.

And he keeps getting your attention in very ironic, quote unquote, ironic ways to get you

to pay attention.

Well, guess what?

It's time.

It is time.

Think of it this way.

God rejoices when you dare to dream. Why? Because our creative

God created us. To be creative and creative beings. And when we dream, we are putting our creativity

into action, full force. So let's do this. Grab a pen, a notebook, coffee, tea, whatever you prefer, maybe grab a snack. I love snacks.

And let's have a midweek rise-up moment together. Our God wrote the book on making the impossible.

Well, possible. Examples of this, look no further than in the Bible. Look at Moses. Do you really think that an 80-year-old man, a shepherd

would battle up against a Pharaoh? Another example, if that one doesn't work for you. David,

a young shepherd boy having a go at it with the giants of all giants. In Isaiah 1427, it says

that when the Lord All-powerful makes a plan, no one can stop it.

Let me add to that. No disappointments can stop it. No adversities can stop it.

Can you imagine, just for a second, can you imagine how much it must break His heart, our God,

to see us walking around, being complacent, day to day, just doing the

bare minimum, and letting fear stop us from fulfilling something that he's trying to do through us

to bring glory to his kingdom.
