PROMISES IN THE MIDST OF THE PROCESS

 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.


We are gifted, valuable for the kingdom of God; sometimes we may feel timid and afraid. But Paul is encouraging us to be strong and bold, get going, and walk into the position that God has called us to.


Yes, it is hard at times to accept the position, for we might find all kinds of excuses not to. For me, my excuses were Lord I told you that is not what I wanted to do. I am not qualified, let the Pastor, Ministers and the Evangelist do it, Lord.


Lord, you said that you know the desires of my heart and this is not my desire, when I thought these excuses would it did not, so I draw for some more. Lord remember what they say about me, Jesus remembers I am just a nobody, a normal girl, remember what I did God so you can't call me to do this, this is bigger than me.


With all these excuses all God is saying to me is I got you, I will not put you where you won't manage.


God told Jeremiah But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Jeremiah 1:7


God holds our future in his hands, His will for our lives is perfect.  When we stir up the gifts God will lead us and direct us in the right direction.  He will equip us that is why we go through all the storms, all the struggles, and tribulation. All these are to prune us for what God has in store for us.


All we have to do is surrender our will to his will and once we do, we will find that is where we find peace in him, knowing that He God is the comforter of our soul. We will find unspeakable joy.


It doesn't matter what people may say about you, when God chooses you and set you into a position no one can say others and no one can move you out.


 You have been called many names. You'll never make it again…they say


They turn their backs and cause much pain, but in Christ, the victory remains the same.


 He calls you a holy nation, Stir up the gifts.  A chosen generation, Stir up the gifts. Walk-in your purpose, Walk in God's light. You have been chosen this time. Stir up the gifts.


 You feel like you'll end your own life, Broken and hurting inside….he knows


But Jesus he died on the cross, to save the hopeless and loss


 Stir up the gifts that are inside of you and want into your God-given purpose.


THE PROCESS MAY BE LONG BUT STIR UP THE GIFTS
