What Faith Does to Your Dreams
信心能为你的梦想带来什么
Dec 27, 2017
“Glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of — infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes” (Ephesians 3:20 TLB).
“神能照着运行在我们心里的大能充充足足地成就一切，超过我们所求所想的。”（以弗所书 3:20 和修）
Faith turns God-given dreams into reality. Nothing happens until somebody starts dreaming!
信心将上帝给予的梦想变为现实。如果没有人开始梦想，任何事情将不会发生！
The Bible is full of people who had God-given dreams. Abraham dreamed of being the father of a great nation. Moses dreamed of setting God’s people free. Joseph dreamed of saving a nation and his own family. Throughout Scripture, there are all kinds of people who were inspiring dreamers, like Daniel and Paul and David.
圣经中充满了上帝给予梦想的人。亚伯拉罕梦想成为一个伟大民族的始祖。摩西梦想解放上帝的子民。约瑟梦想拯救一个民族和他的全家。圣经自始至终都有兴奋的梦想者，例如但以理、保罗和大卫。
Ephesians 3:20 says, “Glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of — infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes” (TLB).
以弗所书3:20说，“神能照着运行在我们心里的大能充充足足地成就一切，超过我们所求所想的。”（以弗所书 3:20 和修）
Now, if there were ever a “blank check” verse in the Bible, that’s it. God is able to do far more than we would dare to ask. What are you afraid to ask God for? He is able to do far more than you could even dream of.
现在，如果圣经中有一个节带空格的经文德华，就是这句。上帝可以做的远远超过我们所求的。你还在害怕像上帝求吗？他能够给你远超过你所想象的。
I don’t know about you, but I’m a pretty big dreamer. I can think of some pretty big dreams I’ve had in my lifetime. God says, “Warren, think of the greatest thing you could ever dream of, the greatest thing you think I could do in your life. Guess what? I can top that.”
我不知道你怎么样，但是我绝对是一个很有梦想的人。在我有生之年，我可以思考到一些很大的梦想。上帝说，“Warren，想一想你能想到最大的梦想，你想到最大的事情我也可以在你的生命中成就。猜猜怎么样了？我可以把这个放在第一。”
If there were tears in Heaven, it would simply be because we would get there and realize all the things that we could have done if we had just believed God a little bit more. To me that would be Hell! Hell for me would be seeing everything I could have accomplished and become as a husband, a father, a friend, and a pastor if I had just believed God a little bit more.
如果天堂里有眼泪，那是因为我们可以到达那里，并且认识到我们所做的一切，只要我们更多一点相信上帝，都可以变得简单。对我来说，这将是地狱！见到那些我如果我更相信上帝一点，可以达到的样式，一个丈夫，一个父亲，一个牧师。
But there aren’t any tears in Heaven, and God gives you everything you need right now to accomplish what he has planned for you. I challenge you to dream big about your relationships, your marriage, your family, your career, and your ministry to others. Your faith can turn those dreams into reality, because God is able to do far more than we would dare to ask or even dream of.
但是天堂里没有眼泪，上帝在他的计划中，给了你所有你需要立刻去完成的事情。我挑战你对于你的关系、你的婚姻、你的家庭、你的职业生涯和你的事工有更大的梦想。你的信心可以将这些梦想变为现实，因为上帝所能给你的远超过你所要求的。
