You Were Created to Dream

God has a dream for your life. Before you took your first breath, he had already placed the gift of imagination into your brain and hardwired creativity into every cell of your body. But discovering your God-given dream will take faith on your part—just as faith was required of great dreamers in the Bible such as Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Ruth, Esther, and others.

In this inspiring audio Bible study, bestselling author Pastor Rick Warren reveals how God uses a predictable process to grow your faith and develop your character so you can realize his dreams for your life. Each phase is a test of your faith:

Phase 1: Dream—God puts an exciting dream in your heart.

Phase 2: Decision—You make the decision to go after the dream.

Phase 3: Delays—God allows delays to get you ready for the dream.

Phase 4: Difficulties—You face problems that grow your character.

Phase 5: Dead Ends—Your situation become impossible.

Phase 6: Deliverance—God miraculously fulfills the dream!

Whether you're feeling stuck, forgotten, afraid, or uninspired, Created to Dream will give you the tools you need to awaken and pursue the custom-made dream God created you to fulfill.

        “A great dream is a statement of faith,” writes pastor Warren (The Purpose Driven Life) in this heartening guide, “but dreaming is just the first phase” of achieving a goal. Warren outlines a six-part process that starts with ensuring one’s aspiration is God-inspired, in that it doesn’t contradict scripture and requires faith to enact (“It will be so big you can’t do it on your own”). Next, readers must take action, and just as “God gave Noah the dream of saving the world—but Noah had to make the decision to build the ark,” they’ll need to devote time and energy to the endeavor. As well, Christians should expect to encounter roadblocks and must “persist through delay” via prayer, “deal with difficulties” to enrich their faith, and “encounter dead ends” on the way. Warren illustrates his advice by citing biblical figures who overcame hurdles, such as how Moses initially shrank from God’s command to lead the Israelites out of Egypt because of a speech issue, and affirms that “God has always used imperfect people in imperfect situations to accomplish his perfect will.” Enriched by Warren’s bountiful charisma and backed with solid advice, this offers plenty of practical insight. Christians looking for faith-based motivation will find it here.
