- 0:00Speaker 1: Nobody, and I do mean nobody does it like your
- 0:02Speaker 1: early what he praise party with me, your girl, Sherry Mackie.
- 0:06Speaker 1: At it's time, right now for today's word. When God
- 0:11Speaker 1: redirects your life. Exodus three ten through eleven says, so
- 0:17Speaker 1: now go, I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring
- 0:21Speaker 1: my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt. But Moses said
- 0:25Speaker 1: to God, who am I that I should go to
- 0:28Speaker 1: Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt. You know,
- 0:32Speaker 1: Moses was not looking for a calling when God found him.
- 0:36Speaker 1: He was simply tending to sheep on the back side
- 0:38Speaker 1: of the desert, far removed from the palace where he
- 0:42Speaker 1: had once lived, and far removed from the man he
- 0:45Speaker 1: used to be. Forty years earlier, Moses had made a
- 0:49Speaker 1: devastating mistake. Acting in anger, y'all, he killed an Egyptian
- 0:54Speaker 1: and fled for his life. Moses killed a man, y'all
- 1:00Speaker 1: seemed like a promising future ended in exile. Now he
- 1:03Speaker 1: was older, he was quieter and convinced that his best
- 1:07Speaker 1: days were behind him. Then God spoke from a burning
- 1:11Speaker 1: bush and interrupted Moses' routine with a divine assignment. God
- 1:16Speaker 1: told him go back face Pharaoh. He had to confront
- 1:22Speaker 1: his past and to lead an entire nation out of slavery.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Moses's immediate response was not confident, y'all. It was total insecurity.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Who am I? He asked? In other words, God, you
- 1:35Speaker 1: got the wrong person. Who am I to do this?
- 1:38Speaker 1: I'm not good enough? Hello. Moses saw his failures. He
- 1:45Speaker 1: remembered his crime, his rejection, and he remembered his limitations.
- 1:51Speaker 1: He struggled with his speech and didn't feel capable of
- 1:55Speaker 1: addressing leaders or inspiring people. God could have chosen someone younger.
- 2:01Speaker 1: He could have chosen someone more polished or more articulate,
- 2:05Speaker 1: someone without a messy history. But God chose Moses on purpose,
- 2:10Speaker 1: for purpose, God wasn't intimidated by Moses's past or limited
- 2:15Speaker 1: by his What or what Moses felt like, was a weakness,
- 2:19Speaker 1: I should say, In fact, God knew that everything Moses
- 2:23Speaker 1: had walked through had prepared him for what was ahead.
- 2:27Speaker 1: The desert had shaped Moses's humility, The sheep had taught
- 2:30Speaker 1: him patience. His failure had broken his pride and taught
- 2:34Speaker 1: him dependence on God. See what Moses thought disqualified him
- 2:38Speaker 1: was actually part of God's preparation. Many of us stand
- 2:44Speaker 1: where Moses stood. God places are calling on our hearts,
- 2:49Speaker 1: and we immediately list all the reasons it won't work.
- 2:52Speaker 1: We feel unqualified, we don't have the education, we don't
- 2:56Speaker 1: have the connections, we don't have the confidence if we'll
- 2:59Speaker 1: be honest. The obstacles seeing too big, and the past
- 3:02Speaker 1: feels too heavy. Yet God sees something greater when he
- 3:06Speaker 1: calls you, he also supplies what you need. Come own, Jesus.
- 3:11Speaker 1: When you step into what God has called you to do,
- 3:14Speaker 1: there's a supernatural force that goes before you. Favor opens
- 3:20Speaker 1: doors no person can shut. Courage rises where fear once lived.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Strength shows up where weakness tried to take over. God
- 3:28Speaker 1: doesn't just give you a new assignment. He changes the
- 3:31Speaker 1: entire trajectory of your life. What once held you back
- 3:36Speaker 1: will no longer define you. Where you thought your story ended,
- 3:41Speaker 1: God says, it's only up againning. Come on, Jesus, Father,
- 3:45Speaker 1: thank you that the calling that you placed in our
- 3:48Speaker 1: hearts is greater than our past mistakes, failures, or even
- 3:51Speaker 1: our fears. Thank you that you are working supernaturally to
- 3:54Speaker 1: redirect and transform our lives. We choose to trust you
- 3:58Speaker 1: and to step into what you call us to do God,
- 4:01Speaker 1: we will declare that we will fulfill our purpose in
- 4:03Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Now that's your word for today. Take it
- 4:07Speaker 1: apply to your everyday life, and you continue to be
- 4:09Speaker 1: encouraged and inspired. It's your early morning praise party. I
- 4:13Speaker 1: am Sherry Mackie.
