What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend? We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.
What assignment has God given each of us?
Just want to encourage you today that you have the power of the living God on the inside of you. Do you ever get tired of hearing that? I don't either. And I think we constantly need to be reminded that God's power lives in us. You see, you're equipped this morning. And I want to announce that. You're equipped. for your unique assignment. God has left nothing out that you're going to need for anything that He's called you to do. And not only has He thought about you, I like what Cindy said, that His thoughts for you, His plans for you are good. See, He thought about us, He knew our assignment, and He put everything in us that we would need. Every gift, every talent, our personalities, our dispositions, everything is just right.
And then he did something one step greater.
How can we develop and grow our God-given gifts?
He put his power in us. He put his power in us. So you have the living God on the inside of you if you're a believer today. So I don't want you to feel ordinary because we all do. Sometimes it's just an ordinary life. We go to work, we come home, we... eat dinner, we do it again, we get up in the morning, we go mow the lawn, we do this, we do... It can feel ordinary. But I want to tell you something. God didn't save you. He didn't call you. He didn't choose you to be ordinary.
Why is it important to anchor our prayers in God's promises?
He called you to be extraordinary. And you've got to understand because you house the living God... You are extraordinary. You're set apart. You're called by God and he has assignments for you to do. You see, it's so interesting because sometimes people don't recognize the call of God on our life. They don't understand the call of God. Or like I said, we may feel ordinary. We wonder if we're accomplishing what God even wants us to accomplish. See, so often we determine the power of God within us by what's going on around us. You see, if I was maybe doing a little better, if God liked me a little more, this wouldn't be happening. Or maybe if I could just get a little closer to God, I wouldn't be going through this trial.
But can I tell you something? That's the way man looks at things. In fact, God told the prophet Samuel, he said, you're going to anoint the next king of Israel. And I want you to know this one thing about this anointing. You're going to anoint the man that I call, but I don't want you to begin to look for what you think would be the king. I don't want you to look for the man that's the right height, the man that's that's in a certain position, the man that has the talents that you think would make a good king. He said, because I don't look at things that way. That's the way you look at things.
How does God view our unique assignments?
He said, you look from the outside. You respond to life from the outside. But see, I am a God of the inside. Man looks on the outside, but God looks on the heart. See, you're qualified today because God chose you to be qualified. He looked at your heart and he said, that's my child. You know what I love about that is that God is the God of second chances. God is always inside of us working from the inside out. He's working on our thoughts. He's working on our actions. He's working all the time. God never sleeps. He never slumbers. He's always at work in the heart of a believer. David said it like this. He said, you teach me wisdom in my innermost parts. That's where you're speaking to me, God, in my innermost parts.
You see, God communicates with us in our innermost parts. And I want to remind you today that you house the greatest power in the universe. I don't want you to neglect or not protect what's on the inside of you. You're not ordinary. You're extraordinary. You walk with humility because you know the God that you serve. But he hasn't made you like anybody else. He separated you. So I just want you to get this in your heart today. Because I think when we realize what we carry... We'll protect what we carry.
