- 0:00Speaker 1: Your early morning praise party with me, your girl Sherry Mackey.
- 0:03Speaker 1: And it's time right now for today's word. Step into
- 0:11Speaker 1: your potential, Step into your potential. Philammond sixth says that
- 0:18Speaker 1: the sharing of your faith may become effective by the
- 0:22Speaker 1: knowledge acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you
- 0:28Speaker 1: in Christ Jesus. You know, it's remarkable to think about Peter,
- 0:33Speaker 1: one of Jesus's closest disciples. Before following Christ, he was
- 0:37Speaker 1: a fisherman, working long hours, felling the weight of life
- 0:41Speaker 1: and burden by his own shortcomings. There was even a
- 0:46Speaker 1: moment when he exclaimed to Jesus, depart from me, Lord,
- 0:50Speaker 1: for I am a sinful man. He felt unworthy to
- 0:54Speaker 1: even stand in the presence of God. But Peter learned
- 0:58Speaker 1: a powerful truth, truth that you and I need to learn.
- 1:04Speaker 1: God's approval, God's mercy, and God's favor are stronger than
- 1:09Speaker 1: any flaw or any mistake we may make. See this
- 1:14Speaker 1: shift changed everything. When the early Church began and acts too,
- 1:19Speaker 1: it was Peter who boldly stepped forward to speak the
- 1:23Speaker 1: first message of faith. What made his message effective wasn't
- 1:27Speaker 1: his education, It wasn't his eloquence or even his confidence.
- 1:32Speaker 1: It was his alignment with God's truth. His mentality had
- 1:36Speaker 1: changed from I'm unworthy to I am well able, I'm
- 1:41Speaker 1: strong in the Lord, I'm anointed. He received what God
- 1:45Speaker 1: had already placed in him, and that allowed his faith
- 1:49Speaker 1: to touch others in powerful ways. Well, that same principle
- 1:54Speaker 1: applies to you. Your faith is not strengthened by dwelling
- 1:58Speaker 1: on your mistakes or focusing on your weaknesses. The moment
- 2:02Speaker 1: you start receiving God's approval, the moment you start receiving
- 2:05Speaker 1: God's mercy in God's favor, your faith begins to work
- 2:09Speaker 1: in new ways. So say to yourself, Lord, I thank
- 2:14Speaker 1: you that I am a masterpiece. Father. Your mercy covers
- 2:18Speaker 1: my past, and I am redeemed, I am restored, I
- 2:22Speaker 1: am forgiven. Thank you for the favor you're releasing in
- 2:27Speaker 1: my life. I am ready to step into the plans
- 2:31Speaker 1: that You've prepared for me. Oh. When you embrace this
- 2:35Speaker 1: kind of mindset, you're going to notice a shift in
- 2:38Speaker 1: your life. You'll begin to share your faith with confidence.
- 2:41Speaker 1: You'll begin to encourage others with conviction. You'll began to
- 2:44Speaker 1: act boldly in areas where you might have previously felt unworthy. Remember,
- 2:50Speaker 1: it's not about what you can do on your own.
- 2:53Speaker 1: It's about stepping into the gifts, into the grace of
- 2:56Speaker 1: God that's already that He's already placed on the end
- 3:00Speaker 1: side of you. See your life, your words, your testimony,
- 3:04Speaker 1: they all become powerful when you acknowledge the good that
- 3:09Speaker 1: is in you in Christ. Jesus Father, thank you for
- 3:14Speaker 1: the gifts, Thank you for the talents, Thank you for
- 3:16Speaker 1: the dreams that you placed on the inside of us.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Thank You that we no longer need to focus on
- 3:22Speaker 1: our flaws or our weaknesses, because your proval, your mercy,
- 3:26Speaker 1: your favor are greater God than any of our shortcomings.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Today we receive your grace. Today we choose to step
- 3:34Speaker 1: boldly into our purpose and share our faith effectively. God.
- 3:38Speaker 1: We declare that we are well able, that we are anointed,
- 3:42Speaker 1: that we are empowered in Christ in Jesus' name. That's
- 3:48Speaker 1: your word for today. Take it applied to your everyday life,
- 3:52Speaker 1: and you continue to be encouraged and inspired. Here on
