Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackey,
- 0:03Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word.
- 0:07Speaker 2: He chose you.
- 0:10Speaker 1: John fifteen and sixteen says you did not choose me,
- 0:14Speaker 1: but I chose you and appointed you, so that you
- 0:18Speaker 1: might go and bear.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Fruit, fruit that will last, and so.
- 0:23Speaker 1: That whatever you ask in my name the Father will
- 0:27Speaker 1: give you. Did you realize that we were strangers to
- 0:32Speaker 1: God's love? We didn't deserve his mercy, we didn't measure
- 0:37Speaker 1: up to his goodness? But the scripture says, once you
- 0:42Speaker 1: were far away from God. But now you have been
- 0:45Speaker 1: brought near to him through the blood of Christ. You
- 0:50Speaker 1: are no longer strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people
- 0:55Speaker 1: and also members of his household. Sherry, where can I
- 0:59Speaker 1: read that? I'm glad you asked? Ephesians two thirteen and
- 1:03Speaker 1: two nineteen. Jesus says that we did not choose him,
- 1:08Speaker 1: but he chose us. God hand picked you and me.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Now you may feel like you don't fit in. You
- 1:16Speaker 1: don't fit in in certain circles. You feel like you're
- 1:21Speaker 1: not good enough to fulfill your dreams or accomplish your goals.
- 1:25Speaker 1: You may feel like an outsider in your family, on
- 1:28Speaker 1: your job, or even in your church.
- 1:32Speaker 2: None of that stops God.
- 1:33Speaker 1: He still chose and is choosing you. You are valuable,
- 1:41Speaker 1: you are approved. You are so valuable and so approved
- 1:47Speaker 1: that Jesus gave his life for you. Thoughts will try
- 1:52Speaker 1: to tell you made too many mistakes, you messed up
- 1:55Speaker 1: too bad, you're not qualified, you don't come from the
- 1:58Speaker 1: background of faith.
- 2:00Speaker 2: But God is saying, hey, that's okay.
- 2:04Speaker 1: I chose you. I created you. I know who you are.
- 2:08Speaker 1: You're exactly whom I'm looking for. I choose strangers. I
- 2:14Speaker 1: choose people who don't look like everybody else expects them to.
- 2:18Speaker 1: I choose people who don't perform perfectly. I choose people
- 2:22Speaker 1: with flaws and weaknesses. I see what's in you, and
- 2:26Speaker 1: I know what I put on the inside of you.
- 2:29Speaker 1: I know your potential. It's my choice, and I choose you.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Come on, Jesus, Father, thank you for choosing us to
- 2:39Speaker 1: be yours long before we chose you. God, we celebrate
- 2:44Speaker 1: the fact that Jesus gave his life so that we
- 2:47Speaker 1: would no longer be a stranger to your family. God,
- 2:50Speaker 1: we believe and confidently declare that makes us very valuable.
- 2:57Speaker 1: That makes us approved in Jesus.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Now that's your word for today.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Take an applied to your everyday life, and you continue
- 3:04Speaker 1: to be encouraged and inspire knowing that He chose you
- 3:08Speaker 1: in Jesus' name. It's heard about in praise party. I
