God's promises are in your reach. They're not in your hand.

Dr Tony Evans says God desires us to participate in our own victory.

He wants to see that you believe his word enough that you will go get it.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans, author, speaker, senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, and president of the Urban

Alternative.

Do you see your future full of exciting possibilities, or just more of the same problems and pain.

Today Dr Evans offers powerful encouragement as he talks about why God wants us to pursue bigger

dreams.

Let's join him.

In 2nd King's join him. In 2nd Kings, Chapter 13, the King of Israel, Joache, has come to the Prophet Elijah on his dying bed.

And he says, my father, my father, we have a problem.

Our problem is that we're under attack from Aaron.

Aram had risen up to challenge Israel and to destroy them.

And the king was outnumbered, overpowered, and didn't know how he was going to make

it in this situation. One of the reasons that God allows things in our lives that are too big

for us to handle is to let us know

let us know you you ain't all that on your own because without me if I just let this thing have its way with you, it'll do you in. They come to

the Prophet Elijah and he says, my daddy, my daddy, daddy my father my father so he recognized the need for the

spiritual if he was going to successfully address the physical. He comes and he says, what am I going to do? He wants

spiritual perspective. Elijah says, well here's what I want you to do, King.

Verse 15, take bow and arrows. He picks up the bow and arrows. He picks up the bow and Elijah then puts his hand on top of the king's hand.

This is called sharing the anointing.
