God has a history of getting people to do what THEY and everyone else thought they could not do
God has a bible full of people doing things beyond their natural ability
Moses had only a staff
Delivered 1 million people
Samson had the Jaw bone of a donkey
Took out 1000 men
David only had a few stones
Took out Goliath
Joseph was a slave
Ruler of Egypt
Daniel was a slave and refugee in Babylon
Became a great ruler of the whole kingdom
God put these people in the bible so we could learn something about our possibilities in God’s hands
We need to stop judging what is possible in our lives based on our idea of what’s possible
God designed you with gifting and talents
So many people never step into their abilities because:
They don’t believe they have any talent or ability
They know it but are afraid to step out into it because they might fail
The fear of failure is a very effective tool used to stop your progress
FEAR period is the reason for
Definition of fear
fear as "a distressing emotion aroused by an impending pain, danger, evil, etc. or by the illusion of such."
Fear causes us to...
Stay in jobs that are below your ability
Stay in relationship that are abusive and destructive
Fear of expressing ideas or attempting new things
The bible says something important about fear:
PUNISHMENT:
We as people are so used to:
Getting punished for doing wrong (some punishment was excessive and unwarranted)
Having people not believe in you or encourage you
Laugh at you when you failed
Being told we are not valuable ( through being ignored-dismissed-not being affirmed)
Believing that:
Life can be good
That your ideas will work
That its okay to even fail
THIS CAN BE HARD
But God Says.....
The enemy of your soul has spent your lifetime trying to tell you:
That you can’t
That you won’t
That you should not
That breakthroughs and successes are for someone else
Your purpose and greatest life is found by Following your gut (non-Christian)…or…voice of God(Christian)
…will always require risk
BUT...God does something very important when he is allowed into our life
He introduces us to the possibility of the impossible
If we get to know God well enough.....
If we step out and do things he asks us to do.......
We discover that what WE thought was impossible IS possible
If we give God our natural talents…he will give us Supernatural results
What are SUPERNATURAL results?
David killing Goliath with a stone
Moses delivering Israel with a staff
Mother Theresa building a world wide network of shelters for the poor sisters of Charity
God seems to enjoy choosing the underdogs in life to work through
God did not choose Israel because they were a strong noble people
Read Ezekiel 16 for a more graphic depiction of how God saw Israel’s beginning
The Church is no different
1 Corinthians 1:26 Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life.
I don’t see many of “the brightest and the best” among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families.
Isn’t it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these “nobodies” to expose the hollow pretensions of the “somebodies”?
You may seem weak
You may look like the odds are against you
You may fear that everything is going to fall apart
The little you have combined with God’s miraculous provision is enough
