The Smallness You Feel

2 Corinthians 6:11–13 The Message: 11–13 Dear, dear Corinthians, I can’t tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious life. We didn’t fence you in. The smallness you feel comes from within you. Your lives aren’t small, but you’re living them in a small way. I’m speaking as plainly as I can and with great affection. Open up your lives. Live openly and expansively!

Smallness Comes From Within- The feeling of inferiority,

Inside is Influenced By The Outside- Up bringing, Family, Friends, World Around

Feelings Are From Within---Feelings Come From The Kardia

Smallness Is The Enemy of Your Future- Smallness inside produces smallness outside

Giants Bring Out The Truth - these leaders were genuine in their desire to lead. They had experience in leading. They wanted to help because they were prepared to spy out the land- But

Grasshoppers Influenced A Nation- Joshua 14:7–15 (NKJV): 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart. 8 Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the Lord my God. 9 So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.’

Made The Heart of the People Melt-

Melt- disolve their courage- deflated their spirit-consume with fear, make afraid, to discourage and destroy hope

Sam Childer- Get around Serious people- Get Serious People Around You

Utube Doomsday Prophets- “Its the end of the world sign carries”

Speak From Whats In Your Heart- Matthew 12:34 (NKJV) 34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Caleb Speaks From Whats In His Heart

Calebs Heart- I brought back word to him as it was in my heart.

Heart- Inner Person, Mind , soul, Spirit

Caleb Spoke From the Heart. Caleb Spoke From What His Heart Was Full of.

Numbers 13:30 (NIV) 30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”

Calebs Heart Was Full of God- “but I wholly followed the Lord my God.”

Wholly Fulled Hearts Say “Give Me My Mountain”- He Didnt Want The Easy Way- Give me the giants.

Calebs Inheriatnce Was The land of The Giants

Half Hearted- they do it without any real effort, interest, or enthusiasm. someone whose heart is not really in what they are doing.

There are no half-hearted champions.----John C. Maxwell

God doesn't want religious duty. He doesn't want a distracted, half-hearted, 'Fine, I'll read a chapter...now are You happy?' attitude. God wants His word to be a delight to us, so much that we meditate on it day and night.

Francis Chan

Followed- to be so full of something it comes out in actions.

“We will see what your made of” “see whats really inside”

Fill Yourself With God- It will make you a giant killer- it will pushout the grasshopper within
