Untitled Sermon (4)

Introduction

My Dad instilled confidence in me.

Act Sharp, Look Sharp, Be Sharp

Background

Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.

He had a personal encounter with God.

When was the last time you intentionally got in God's presence to figure out His plan for you life.

If you never get in His presence you'll never know what His voice sounds like when He's trying to call you.

We've traded in divine encounters for self help sessions.

Iyanla cant fix your life.

You're trying to find you but He's waiting on you to find Him.

Jeremiah's call was beyond the norm.

He came from a priestly family. But God called him to be a prophet.

(Priest vs. Prophet)

The priest was chosen to carry out the religious rituals but the Prophet was called to be God's voice.

What your in line for is bigger than your lineage.

He royal family he came from a religious one.

This wasn't a call to the chittering circuit but God was about to use Him all over the nations!

Why would God choose me!

Main Idea

What you've been grooming to do is so much smaller than what God has gifted you to do.

Sermonic Points

He SAW you!

You were always apart of the plan.

The Lord had YOU on His mind.

Before you were in your mothers womb.

He formed you.

He knows it will work because he made it!

You see the pieces but God sees the picture! (Illustration)

We serve a God who knows our end from our beginning.

You may feel broken right now.

You may feel like your life is all over the place right now.

He see's the picture.

You're frustrated right now because you've been putting pieces in the wrong places.

It doesn't fit - and it's not supposed.

Examples

Jobs, Relationships, Friends, Environment

You've got to begin to see what God see's!

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6

He SANCTIFIED you!

You've been set apart!

You're not from bottom shelf, the front counter, the bargain bin.

There's something about you. You've received a seal of approval from the Lord of Lords.

The master Creator created you.

Value is determined by the rarity and creator of a thing. There's only one you.

You're not regular.

Common - Go with the crowd.

Comfortable - You want Jesus and ...

Cowardly - What are you afraid of?!?

Sanctification is a process!!!

A progressive work!

Don't let nobody look down on you, they don't know where you're going.

Give God so praise because you don't look like what you been through, and you dont look like where you're going.

What till you get a load of me!

Yay Some of you are to comfortable where you are to get where youre going.

A process is only a process when there is progress! It only works when there's movement.

If you're not moving it's not a process it's your personality!

2 Corinthians 6:17

“Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”"

Romans 12:1-2

You can't be what you've always been.

You may not think much about me be im not playing in the dirt no more because im clean. He washed me.

Somebody says you aint worth nothing can you declare "He said, I Am!"

He SPOKE over you!

The problem is where God has spoken Destiny you keep speaking dilemmas.

Verse 6

“Then said I: “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.””

You're trying to talk yourself right out of your destiny.

As a man thinketh so is he!

The Bible says that a man might not think any more highly of himself then he ought to think.

You got to think about you what God thinks about you.

You may not be but He is

Close

You aren't but I AM!
