  Speaker 1: It's time for today's word. On your early morning praise
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: party with me, your girl Sheery Nacky. Today's word called
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: beyond the catch look five ten and eleven says. Jesus
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: replied to Simon, don't be afraid. From now own, you'll
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: be fishing for people. As soon as they landed, they
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: left everything and followed Jesus. You know, Peter had spent
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the night fishing and he didn't catch a thing. He
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: was exhausted, he was disappointed and lightly frustrated. He was
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: ready to pack it in. Then Jesus showed up. Oh,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and Jesus shows up. He told Peter to push out
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: into the deep water and let down his net again.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Peter hesitated at first, after all, he was the experienced
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: fisherman now, but he obeyed Jesus's word, and in that
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: moment everything changed because he chose to obey God. The
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: nets filled with so many fish that they began to break,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and the boats began to sink under the weight of
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the blessing. Hello, somebody. Overwhelmed by the miracle, Peter fell
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to his knees and cried out, Lord, please depart from me.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I'm too much of a sinner to be around you.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: He felt unworthy, he felt unqualified, he felt undeserving of
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: such favor. But noticed Jesus's response. He didn't shame Peter.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: He didn't agree with his doubts. Instead, he said, don't
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: be afraid. From now on, you will fish for people.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Jesus wasn't just feeling Peter's nets. He was calling him
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to his destiny. He was saying, Peter, you may not
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: feel worthy, but I see more in you than you
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: see in yourself. You are forgiven, you are chosen. You
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: are called to be a disciple, your call to be
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a world your call to be a history maker. This
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: is the heart of the gospel. God's blessing, his mercy,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: his favor. They are not based on our performance, and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: they're not based on perfection. Thank you Jesus, we can
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: earn them. They are gifts of grace. Just like Peter.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: You may feel like your past has been too much,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and you may think I'm not qualified, I've made too
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: many mistakes. God can't use me. But the truth is
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: God specializes in using the unlikely. He calls the imperfect,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: he redeems the broken, and he turns ordinary people into
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: extraordinary vessels for his glory. When Peter heard the call,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: he left everything and followed Jesus. He exchanged the life
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of catching fish for a life of catching souls. And
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: just like Peter, God is calling you beyond the temporary.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: He's calling you beyond the blessings and to greater purpose.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: The miracle of the fish was just the beginning. The
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: real miracle was the transformation of Peter's life. So don't
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: let fear, don't let shame or self doubt keep you
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: from receiving what God has placed before you. His call
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: is not about what you've done, but about what He's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: able to do through you. Say yes, follow him and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: step in two the life he has prepared for you.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Oh Father God, thank you for seeing more in us
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: than we often see in ourselves. Thank you that our
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: past mistakes and failures and shortcomings do not disqualify us
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: from your call. Help us to receive your grace, to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: lay aside fear, and to step boldly into the destiny
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that you prepared for us. We choose to follow you
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: wherever you lead in Jesus' name. Hey, now that's your
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: word for today. Take it apply to your everyday life,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and you continue to be encouraged and inspired. AH here
