God would have never taken the time to give Abraham the long-lasting picture of the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore.LOOK AT THE STARS
Genesis 15:1–6 NLT Some time later, the Lord spoke to Abram in a vision and said to him, “Do not be afraid, Abram, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great.” But Abram replied, “O Sovereign Lord, what good are all your blessings when I don’t even have a son? Since you’ve given me no children, Eliezer of Damascus, a servant in my household, will inherit all my wealth. You have given me no descendants of my own, so one of my servants will be my heir.” Then the Lord said to him, “No, your servant will not be your heir, for you will have a son of your own who will be your heir.” Then the Lord took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have!” And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT WITHHELD YOUR SON I WILL BLESS YOU .... STARS AND SAND ON SEASHOREGenesis 22:15–18 NLT Then the angel of the Lord called again to Abraham from heaven. “This is what the Lord says: Because you have obeyed me and have not withheld even your son, your only son, I swear by my own name that I will certainly bless you. I will multiply your descendants beyond number, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will conquer the cities of their enemies. And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed—all because you have obeyed me.”THE IMPORTANCE OF RESTTHE IMPORTANCE OF RESTREST FACTSThe average person will spend about 32 years sleeping.1.

Now in those days messages from the Lord were very rare, and visions were quite uncommon.How can they believe in on they have not heard... A dream must come from a revelationRomans 10:13–15 NLT For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”2. GOD'S DREAM WILL WORK FOR YOU2.
