I believe in people.
I just do!
I believe that every person on this planet has an incredible potential to do great things for God and live a life that is so far beyond their imagination.
I believe that once Jesus Christ comes into to someone’s life—there isn’t ANYTHING that can get in their way IF they will completely sell out EVERY area of their life to Him…
Their passions
Their possessions
Their relationships
Their job
It ALL must become His—we must let our dreams die so that His dreams can live through us; after all, our dreams, if allowed to come true, usually turn into nightmares!
I believe that God has called all that He saves to NOT just sit…but to accomplish GREAT things for Him (Ephesians 2:10), to make the name of Jesus famous…to live an abundant life.
That is what we’ve been talking about in this series called “Stuck!” God did not create us to be mired in mediocrity…but to live a life that causes those who don’t know Christ to say, “I WANT WHAT THAT PERSON HAS!”
I believe if a person will give every ounce of their being to Christ—He will take them and shape them into something both beautiful and incredible. (Please see Jeremiah 18:1-6)
God’s not obsessed with your past—He knows everything that you’ve done—and He can still use you to do awesome and incredible things…look what He has done with a screw up like me! (Yes, I WILL boast in all that HE has done!)
God’s not obsessed with your present—He doesn’t care about how high you climb the ladder OR how big your bank account is…THE ONLY thing that He is obsessed with is our obedience to Him…because He knows that in our following of HIS direction that we will ultimately live the life He desires for us.
God KNOWS your future…in fact, He is holding it in His hands right now…and the one thing I am learning over and over again is that I can trust Him with EVERYTHING. He is HOLY & PERFECT…and so are His ways!
You, reading this—right now, yes you…I believe YOU have UNLIMITED POTENTIAL in Christ! I believe God IS NOT FINISHED WITH YOU YET! I believe that no matter where you are in life…you can begin right there and embrace the life that Jesus desires for you.
It begins with salvation, asking Christ into your life…and it continues through intentional steps of listening for His voice and then doing exactly what He says.
We conclude this series on Sunday…I can’t wait…EVERY MESSAGE we’ve done so far has led up to this one. Hopefully you have made your “to stop doing list” and are READY for what God might want to say to you this weekend! I can’t wait!
My prayer is that you will become all that He wants you to become! It is a journey, not a destination…but there is nothing better in life than walking in the divine plan that God has laid out for us!
