Are You Ready to Surrender Your Dreams to God?

Learn from Abraham’s faith and trust God to lead you into a life of divine adventure and blessings.

How willing are you to surrender your dreams to the Lord?


When Abraham offered up Isaac to the Lord as a sacrifice, he did so in faith knowing the Lord gave his son to him and would somehow revive him or return Isaac to Abraham after death. Abraham trusted God in the unknown to fulfill all that He said He would do in his life, and make him a father of a great nation.


The story of Abraham describes how God loves inviting us to surrender it all for a beautiful adventure with Himself. We can confidently surrender all our lives to the Lord knowing He sees the desires of our hearts and loves to co-create with us.


Abraham had it all when God called him. He was from a prominent wealthy family, he had comforts, and security. But we can deduct that because the Lord promised Abraham he would be the father of a great nation, there must have still been a sense deep within Abraham’s heart for significance even though he had it all.


The Lord saw his heart and spoke to Abraham about his desire for children and invited him to dream in the midst of an unknown future, which may have seemed scary to some.


Abraham’s counter-cultural way of life included, following the Lord out of comfort, leaving his family inheritance behind, and choosing a single wife, yet the Lord returned it all to him blessed over and above.


God is the original adventurer.

At the core of each one of us is a love for adventure, one just needs to observe children to realize it’s only when life happens as we grow up, we might become fearful of the unknown.


«When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood, and bound Isaac his son and placed him on the altar, on top of the wood. Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son.But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He answered, “Here I am.” The Lord said, “Do not reach out with the knife in your hand against the boy, and do nothing to harm him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld from Me your son, your only son of promise.»
