Last Days Believers - A God Dream (notes)

Last Days Believers - A God Dream

Joel predicted a time in history when God would pour out His Spirit upon humanity.

God Is going to give people (young & old, men & women) supernatural dreams and visions before the end of the age.

God Is pouring out His Spirit upon people everywhere and He is giving visions to His children of what is coming.

We Are Going to speak about what it means to be a believer in the last days.

Paul

  • Said that perilous times would be characteristic at the time before the end of the church age.

2 Timothy 3:1-9

The Last Days

  • Are going to be characterized by an increase of evil and an increase of good. Light always overpowers evil. The power of God is greater than the power of darkness and will always conquer evil.

Acts 2

  • I believe God is pouring out His Spirit upon people everywhere.
  • How thirsty are you for God?
  • How hungry are your for revival?

Are We Are On

The verge of the greatest move of God in church history?

Peter Addressed The Crowd:

These men are not drunk… this is what Joel predicted. In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people.

Acts 2:4-17

Signs Of Revival

  • Your sons & daughters will prophecy.
  • Your young men shall see visions.
  • Your old men shall dream dreams.
  • On My servants, both men & women I will pour out My Spirit and they will prophecy.

During Past

Moves of the Spirit, missing limbs have grown, new organs have appeared in tests where they were removed surgically, tumors dissolved, crippled people walk and the dead have been raised back to life.

How To Tell

  • If a vision is from God?
  • Is it bigger than you?
  • You can’t let it go!
  • You will be willing to give everything for it.
  • It will last forever.
  • It meets a need nobody else has met.
  • It brings glory to God.

Examples Of Visionaries

  • Abraham
  • Joseph
  • Moses
  • Davie
  • Daniel
  • Stephen
  • Paul
  • Jesus Christ

How To Discover Your Dream

  • Get alone with God.
  • Review your gifts and talents.
  • Review your past experiences.
  • Decide what’s really important in life.
  • Explore different avenues.
  • Write your dream down.

Joel 2:12

  • Turn to Me with all your heart and with fasting and with weeping and with mourning and rend your heart, and not your garments and turn unto the Lord your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness and repenteth Him of the evil.

Jesus Said

  • That He would baptize people with the Holy Spirit and fire. The fire is the glory of the Lord that Moses saw, that Isaiah talked about that Ezekiel saw & Haggai predicted would fill the temple in the last days. Visions & dreams will result from the baptism in fire.

The Wind of The Spirit

Is blowing throughout the earth in this hour and God is looking for people who have a heart for Him and for revival.

The glory of the Lord is being manifested and we don’t want to miss it.

God is granting His people supernatural visions and dreams.
