God's Got a Dream Do you want to be a
chicken or an eagle in the kingdom of God? Knowing what God’s dream
for His people is gives us the opportunity to make it our dream,
too, and to use the wings God gives the church to soar in the
spirit.

| In that day I will perform
against Eli all things which I have spoken
concerning his house: when I begin, I will also
make an end. |

will judge his house for ever for the iniquity
which he knoweth; because his sons made
themselves vile, and he restrained them not. |

unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of
Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice
nor offering for ever. |

said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am
I. |

thing that the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray
thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and
more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all
the things that he said unto thee. |

whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It
is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good. |

understanding being enlightened; that ye may
know what is the hope of his calling, and what
the riches of the glory of his inheritance in
the saints, |

greatness of his power to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of his mighty power, |

when he raised him from the dead, and set him at
his own right hand in the heavenly places, |
| Far above all principality,
and power, and might, and dominion, and every
name that is named, not only in this world, but

under his feet, and gave him to be the head over
all things to the church, |
| Which is his body, the

warned you to flee from the wrath to come? |

say unto you, that God is able of these stones
to raise up children unto Abraham. |

unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree
which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire. |

water unto repentance: but he that cometh after
me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the

and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and
gather his wheat into the garner; but he will
burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. |

| But God, who is rich in
mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, |
| Even when we were dead in
sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved;) |
| And hath raised us up
together, and made us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus: |
| That in the ages to come
he might show the exceeding riches of his grace
in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. |
| For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
the gift of God: |

should boast. |
| For we are his
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good
works, which God hath before ordained that we
should walk in them. |
Ephesians 2:4-10 |
I Samuel 3
| And the child Samuel
ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the
word of the LORD was precious in those days;
there was no open vision. |
| And it came to pass at that
time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and
his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not
see; |
| And ere the lamp of God
went out in the temple of the LORD, where the
ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to
sleep; |
| That the LORD called
Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. |
| And he ran unto Eli, and
said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he
said, I called not; lie down again. And he went
and lay down. |
| And the LORD called yet
again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli,
and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And
he answered, I called not, my son; lie down
again. |
| Now Samuel did not yet know
the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet
revealed unto him. |
| And the LORD called Samuel
again the third time. And he arose and went to
Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call
me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called
the child. |
| Therefore Eli said unto
Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he
call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for
thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down
in his place. |
| And the LORD came, and
stood, and called as at other times, Samuel,
Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy
servant heareth. |
| And the LORD said to
Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at
which both the ears of every one that heareth it
shall tingle. |

Colossians 2
| As ye have therefore
received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in
him: |
| Rooted and built up in him,
and stablished in the faith, as ye have been
taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. |
| Beware lest any man spoil
you through philosophy and vain deceit, after
the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the
world, and not after Christ. |
| For in him dwelleth all the
fulness of the Godhead bodily. |
Colossians 2:6-9 |
|
Ephesians 3
| For this cause I bow my
knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| Of whom the whole family
in heaven and earth is named, |
| That he would grant you,
according to the riches of his glory, to be
strengthened with might by his Spirit in the
inner man; |
| That Christ may dwell in
your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and
grounded in love, |
| May be able to comprehend
with all saints what is the breadth, and length,
and depth, and height; |
| And to know the love of
Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might
be filled with all the fulness of God. |
| Now unto him that is able
to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask
or think, according to the power that worketh in
us, |
| Unto him be glory in the
church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages,
world without end. Amen. |
