Where is the fire? Where are the dreamers?

Often dreamers soaring in the clouds are shot down. New officers come out onto the field ready to win the world for Jesus! Sound familiar? We are so proud of these new reinforcements! We parade them around the stage and commission them in great pomp and ceremony. But when they hit the reality of all that must be dealt with- the paperwork, the rules, the politics, the red tape- the vivid color dreams fade to black and white. The fire is controlled. Quenched? Dreamers are dangerous because they dream of risky things. They challenge our cherished ways of doing things.

When the fire hit the disciples at Pentecost, it was uncontrollable! Since then, the church has been working hard at finding ways to tame that fire. We don't like to be uncomfortable. We're ready to go with God as long as He doesn't ask us to do anything we don't want to do. "We've got things just the way we like them now, thank-you very much, Lord." The scriptures tell us that all of heaven celebrates when one lost soul enters the kingdom. I wonder how many parties we've launched lately? When we watch people heading their merry way straight to hell *, it should make us spontaneously combust! The fire of God should fairly leap out of us!

Operate a soup kitchen that serves over 100 people daily. When I look over that room full of people, some of whom we've reached, I dream of an extended heavenly party! Can you imagine the celebration that would happen if we were to win just one more those people? Can you imagine the joy we would be releasing within the heavenly gates? There would certainly be enough to spill down on us! Let them eat cake? Let them eat bread of life!

The great commission of Jesus is simply to go to the lost, get them saved and teach them to save others. Our founders knew what they were doing when they put the S's on our collars! Saved to save! Not saved to serve or saved to sit.

Saved to save. The goal of reaching the whole world is built into our Army DNA! What fire! What a dream!

Is it only a dream?

The Dreamers Prayer:

Lord, we need dreamers. We need those people you made to see things differently; who look at impossible situations and dare to see things that are not. . . yet. Send us dreamers.

My Dream for Dreamers:

Lord, teach us to encourage dreamers. Teach us to be open to the different drum beat you play in their ears. Help us value the creativity you inspire within them. Light a fire that cannot be put out; that rages out of our control, but one that moves where you will. Make their dreams come true, by your powerful hand. Build our faith and add it to theirs that together we may reach the world.

Rekindle that fire within us- the one that once burned brightly. The one that once urged us to move out of our comfort zone to the very edge of hell to snatch people from the enemy's grasp and lead them to your embrace. Lord, we need dreamers. Make ME a dreamer.
