“God is the sovereign ruler of the universe.
He has been working throughout history to accomplish His purposes.
He does not ask us to dream our dreams for Him.
He does not invite us to set magnificent goals and then pray that He will help us achieve them.
He already has His own agenda when He approaches us.
His desire is to get us from where we are to where He is working.
He leads us from being self-centered to being God-centered.
When God reveals to you where He is working, that becomes His invitation to join Him in His activity.
When God reveals His work to you, that is the time to respond to Him”- Henry Blackaby.
B. Once we see where God is working then we move in accordance with His will.
NOT BEFORE!
C.
He is with us, but that doesn’t get us off the hook when we mess up!
D. Don’t be afraid!
It’s scary to follow God, but work through the fear.
E. Don’t let people discourage you.
(5 discouragers according to Thom Rainer: 1.
The Deniers; 2. The Entitled; 3. The Blamers; 4. The Critics [PAST: People Are Saying That…]; 5.
The Confused.
F. Go and keep going!
