Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: At your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie,
- 0:04Speaker 1: and it's time for today's word. I'm reminding you you're
- 0:09Speaker 1: approved by God. You're approved by God. Jeremiah one in
- 0:17Speaker 1: five says, before I formed you in the womb, I
- 0:22Speaker 1: knew you and approved you as my chosen instrument. And
- 0:26Speaker 1: before you were born, I consecrated you again. That's Jeremiah
- 0:31Speaker 1: one in five in the amplified version. Before your first breath,
- 0:36Speaker 1: before your first step, before your first mistake, God already
- 0:41Speaker 1: knew you, not in a distant general way, but in
- 0:45Speaker 1: an intimate, intentional, purposeful field way. He says, I knew you,
- 0:50Speaker 1: and I didn't just know you. I approved you before
- 0:54Speaker 1: you were even formed. That means you came into this
- 0:58Speaker 1: world already loved, already chosen, already carrying the fingerprints of
- 1:03Speaker 1: divine purpose. But here's the challenge. Life tries to talk
- 1:09Speaker 1: you out of what God has already spoken over you.
- 1:14Speaker 1: The enemy works over time, trying to convince you that
- 1:17Speaker 1: your flaws disqualify you, your past defines you, and your
- 1:23Speaker 1: weaknesses limit you. He whispers, You're not smart enough, you're
- 1:27Speaker 1: not spiritual enough, you're not gifted enough. You're not confident enough.
- 1:31Speaker 1: But the devil is a liar. None of those voices
- 1:35Speaker 1: come from God. God is the one who created you,
- 1:39Speaker 1: fearfully and wonderfully, made in His likeness and his image.
- 1:43Speaker 1: God specializes in calling people who feel unqualified, people like Jeremiah,
- 1:49Speaker 1: who said, Lord, I'm too young, I can't speak well.
- 1:52Speaker 1: I'm not the right person. And God responded, don't say that.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I'm the one that appointed you. See, God doesn't look
- 1:59Speaker 1: for pfe he looks for willingness. He's not intimidated by
- 2:03Speaker 1: your weaknesses. He factored them in when he formed you.
- 2:07Speaker 1: He knew the family you would grow up in. He
- 2:09Speaker 1: knew the struggles you would face. He knew every wrong
- 2:12Speaker 1: turn that you would take. And still he said, I
- 2:16Speaker 1: choose you, I approve you, and I can use you.
- 2:22Speaker 1: So today, stop disqualifying your self yourself, stop rehearsing who
- 2:27Speaker 1: you were, and start agreeing with who God says you are.
- 2:30Speaker 1: You are not an accident, you are not behind, You
- 2:33Speaker 1: are not less than. You are God's chosen instrument. You're
- 2:37Speaker 1: set apart, you're equipped, and you're annointed for the purpose
- 2:40Speaker 1: only you can fulfill. Your past is already forgiven. Your
- 2:45Speaker 1: identity is already secure and your future is right. So
- 2:49Speaker 1: walk like someone who's already been approved, Talk like someone
- 2:53Speaker 1: who's already been chosen. Live like someone who's already been
- 2:56Speaker 1: appointed by God, who embrace his approval. Your silence every lie.
- 3:04Speaker 1: You'll silence every lie of the enemy. You'll rise above insecurity.
- 3:08Speaker 1: You'll step boldly into rooms you want shrink back from. You,
- 3:13Speaker 1: chase dreams you once felt unworthy of, and you began
- 3:17Speaker 1: to fulfill the very calling God placed in you long
- 3:21Speaker 1: before you were ever born. Father, God, thank you. Thank
- 3:25Speaker 1: you that you approved us before we were ever formed
- 3:29Speaker 1: in our mother's room, long before we made our first mistake.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Thank you that you choose us, You love us despite
- 3:37Speaker 1: our weaknesses and shortcomings. Help us to reject every lie
- 3:40Speaker 1: that says that we're not enough. God, we declare that
- 3:43Speaker 1: we accept your approval, and we will walk confidently and
- 3:46Speaker 1: who you created us to be in Jesus name. That's
- 3:50Speaker 1: your word for today. Take it applied to your everyday life,
- 3:53Speaker 1: and continue to be inspired with me, your girl, Sherry Mackie,
- 3:56Speaker 1: it's your early morning praise party.
