SHARE THIS POSTMost days, I have to deal with the “Worried Me” versus “The Word Me”.
The “Worried Me” frets too much and thinks negative thoughts. He wakes me up in the middle of the night and says stuff like:
- You’ve taken your church as far as you can!
- Your leadership-led (not Spirit-led).
- You’ve hit the wall!
- This is as big as you’re ever gonna get!
- You’re in WAY over your head!
He just tries to worry me SICK!
Then, the Word in me speaks up. “Hang on, just a doggone minute!!!”
The Bible says, that if any man lacks wisdom (and I certainly do) then I can ask of God and He will give it to me. God will give me all the tools and provision I need to do whatever I’m called to do.
Research companies and “experts” will study our church and say stuff like, “It’s crazy! How is this possible?” They’re always astounded at how we’re able to do what we do.
You and I are called to do something EXTRAORDINARY for God! But, the “Worried You” will try to keep you occupied and exhausted!
Meanwhile, the “Word You” will just go right on confusing and confounding the experts!
Have a great day, today! I call you BLESSED!
I was trying to decide if I should open up a business and I was confused, but I know what to do now.
U hit the bullseye again in my life Pastor David!!!! Ur message was just what I needed to hear.
I am at it again. Trying to raise sponsorship to enter my Driver in the INDY 500. Biggest auto race in the world. I know I can do this!!! I know my driver can do this!!!!
But the “worried me” gets the best of me sometimes.
I need to stand on the “word me”
especially the verse” that God will finish what he started” 30 years ago GOD gave me auto racing. To love, enjoy and be passionate about.
Now he has given me the BIGGEST MOST PRESTIGIOUS AUTO RACE IN THE WORLD TO RUN IN. I just need the sponsorship funds to make it all happen. Please pray for me that those funds come my way!!!!
Thanks again for speaking to my heart!!!
I appreciate everthing Faith Church is in my life and the time, thought and awrsomely powerful energy that goes into every service and event for us!!!
Godspeed,
Joanna Kent
