I've got a big vision. We can reach a lot of people with an extra one hundred million. If you can accomplish your dreams in your own strength, talent, ability, and resources, then your dreams are too small. You don't need God's help with small dreams. Believe big. Your destiny is too great, your assignment too important, to have little goals, little dreams, little prayers.

Sometimes your family will not be your biggest cheerleader. They may not encourage you. You've got to listen to what God's telling you and not to what other people may tell you. People will try to talk you out of the dream in your heart.

Be wary of people who play up to your weaknesses as a way to convince you that you need them in your life. They'll try to make you think you're not smart enough on your own. You're not talented enough, and you need them to make up for what you're lacking. Don't believe those lies.

Don't you dare plan on dying. We need you, so plan on living. Keep the right vision in front of you. You can. You will!

We weren't created to live a small life with little goals, little dreams, little influence. God created us to live an abundant life. No matter where you are, you're not supposed to get stuck at that level and stay there. God is a God of increase. He has something bigger in your future.

What you say when the enemy is roaring is very important. Speak victory in the face of defeat, speak peace in the face of fear, speak health in the face of sickness, speak abundance in the face of lack.

When you start seeing yourself as His favorite, you'll go to Him with confidence, you'll pray bold prayers, you'll ask Him for your dreams, you'll believe for your health to turn around, you'll expect new doors to open, you'll move up to the next level—not because of who you are, but because of Who your Father is. You know He'll go out of His way to be good to you.

You can set a new standard. You were made for more.

TODAY'S THOUGHT You may have failed in some area of your life—we all have—but you're not a failure. You may have had some bad breaks, but you are not a victim. You are who God says you are.

Father, today I lift my eyes to You, for my help comes from You. Thank You for doing a work in my life. I choose to cooperate with You and keep an attitude of faith. I believe You are using every situation in my life for my good. I declare You are preparing me for promotion! I praise You today no matter what is going on around me, knowing that You have a good plan for me in Jesus' Name. Amen.

before long you're going to be filled with faith. But you cannot soar with the eagles as long as you're pecking around with the chickens.

You are closest to your victory when you face the greatest opposition.
