• 0:03
  Speaker 1: early morny praise party. I am Sherry Mackie in It's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: time for Today's Word. Unshackled from opinions, unshackled from opinions.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Galatians one ten says, am I now trying to win
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the approval of human beings or of God? If I
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: were still trying to please people, I would not be
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a servant of Christ. One of the greatest freedoms you
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: will ever experience is the freedom from trying to please people.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Many never step into their God given destiny because they're
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: wayed down with the opinions, expectations, and demands of others.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: People are often quick to tell you how you should live,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: what choices you should make, and which direction you should take.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: While it's wise to listen to godly counsel, you cannot
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: let the voices of people drown out the voices of God.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: The truth is not everyone is gonna understand the dreams
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and desires God is placed inside of you. They weren't
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: in the secret place when God whispered his calling into
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: your spirit. If you're constantly trying to keep everybody else
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: around you happy, you'll end up exhausted. You'll end up
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: frustrated and living outside of your purpose. People may try
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to box you into their idea of what's best, but
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: if you live by their opinions, you'll miss out on
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: what God created you to be. Paul reminds us that
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: our first calling is not to please people, but to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: serve Christ. Y'all. That takes boldness, That takes courage to say,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I love you, but I have to follow what God
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: put in my heart. I respect your opinion, but I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: cannot live confine to your expectations. When you stop living
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: for the applause of people and start living for the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: approval of God, doors are gonna open, burdens are gonna lift,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and peace will flood your soul. See that's when you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: walk in freedom, unshackled from opinions and fully aligned with
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: your destiny. Oh Father, God, thank you, Thank you that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you called us to live for your approval above all else.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Help us to recognize that we belong to you, and
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: help us to know God when we're being weighed down
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: by the expectations of others. Give us the courage to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: follow the dreams and the desires that You've placed in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: our hearts. God, we declare that we are free from
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: people pleasing and we're committed God to being servants of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Oh, it is in the name of Jesus
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: we pray. Amen. Amen, Amen. That's your word for today.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I want you to take that, unshackle yourself from the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: opinions of people, apply it to your everyday life, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you continue to be encouraged and inspired with me, your girls.
