Psalm 8:1-9 – God`s dream for you – Sept 27, 1981
Intro: Many people do not realize that God has a dream for them. Something many realize too late or do not take it to heart. God thinks we are real special and He wants us to realize that today.
1. God created us to have dominion over all things. We bear His fingermarks. We are His testimony and man is God`s grand creature. Created in His image.
2. Man is heir to Jesus Christ when we are willing to accept Him as Lord and Savior. We have the power to choose Him and have friendship with God.
3. God created man originally to be King over the earth but we were defeated by sin but one day we shall reign with Him in glory. God`s dream is that we have dominion.
4. We were created in the image of God and yet so many do not like themselves. This is one of biggest problems in Canada.
5. God`s dream is that we are in control and not to be controlled. We are created for a high and holy calling. A calling worthy of God.

To have God`s dream in your life depends on two facts. First, your opinion of man. One man quoted. “It is not what you think you are but what you think you are.”
1. What is your opinion of yourself? Do you think you are worth something? Evolution has robbed us of our high position on this earth. It says we started from a one cell creature. We must break away from that devilish thinking.
a. We were created in the image of God. We have worth. We are God’s crowning creation. Our high calling was lost at the fall but given back to us on the cross.
b. Environment tells us that we are insignicant. Eastern religions make life cheap. Media portrays us as nothing but livestock. Pornography peddles that people are nothing but creatures obeying their lusts.

2. The Bible however says we are the temple of the Holy Spirit. God is not going to let us go. Today many children are told they are good for nothing but to God every life is precious.
A. Evolution says we came from a monkey. The Bible says we created out of the dust of the earth and God breathed life into us. We are His creation. The Bible and evolution will never agree.
B. We should not be controlled by cursing, complaining, low morality and low self - esteem. David knew what man was worth when he said that we are marvellously and wonderfully created.
C. What a relief it is to come out of the darkness of unbelief into the sun shine of God’s love through Jesus Christ.

In Psalm 91:3, 7 and 13
1. This psalm tells us that the second thing that will help achieve God’s dream is having a right opinion about God. We have victory in the Lord and so you do not have to be afraid of darkness. Remember fear is a spirit that will be cast out when we allow God’s power, love and a soundness of mind to fill us.
2. We can actually talk and think ourselves into sickness. 85% of all sickness is caused by the mind. 85% of all hospital visits are because people think they are sick. Jesus is our healer. God will heal us if we asked. Remember by His stripes we are healed.
3. You need to rest in God and remember He is doing a good work in your life. God wants us to walk in victory over our problems. 2 Cor 2:14 tells us that we will triumph in the Lord.
4. We have dominion in the Lord and this all comes when we have the right opinion of God.
5. Psalm 91:1-2, helps us to realize that God is powerful. When we obey God we have victory. Many in the past have tried to attack God’s people and have lost. Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar were both humble by God. God is in control and not circumstances.
6. There is no one mightier than God. He spoke and the world came into being.

The Bible has many example of God rescuing His people.
1. God rescued Hezekiah from the Assyrians by sending an angel that killed 185,000 Assyrians.
2. Daniel was rescued from the Lion’s den.
3. Peter was rescued from Herod.

God’s dream is for us to be in control not be controlled. God’s dream is that you would know who Christ is in you. God wants to dominate the situations in your life and not let them dominate you. Let Him fulfilled His dream in your life today by giving your life over to Him today.
God’s dream is for you to let Him take control of your life and learn to trust Him. If we have a problem with self condemnation let Him take control and give you the victory in Jesus Christ. His dream for us is to believe and trust in Him. You can and will have the victory as you do that.
