Exodus 8:20
20 And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. KJV
· For those that are living on the edge – what will it take to push you over?
o To excel?
o To move beyond the land of compromise?
o To be who God has called you to be?
God Calling
If you are waiting for a sign – this is it
Is God a respecter of persons? IS GOD A RESPECTER OF PERSONS??
THEN . . . Isaiah 61:1-7
61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me ; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
7 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
KJV
What I Want VS What I Have
· Write down some things you want - what honest reason is there why you cannot have those things? Spiritual things require sacrifice as well as physical things
· Don’t get stuck in the land of good enough, compromise, barely getting by, squeaking into Heaven.
· Settling for the marriage you have bc you don’t what to pay for the marriage you want
· Move into the land of Canaan
Lacking Nothing
Exodus 4:3
2 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. KJV
We have all we need to move forward in Christ – even The Call
· James 1:2 Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. 3 For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything. NLT
· James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. KJV
