Today's Word 09-29-26 There's More in You Than You Think · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherri Mackey
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word. There's more
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: in you than you think. Daniel 1132 says, but the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: people who know their God shall be strong and carry
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: out great exploits. God didn't create you to live intimidated
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: by your circumstances. He did not create you to spend
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: your life saying, I can't do it. It's too big.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not qualified. I don't have what it takes. No,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Daniel 11, 32 says the people who know their God
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: shall be strong and carry out great exploits. Notice it
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't say the people who have everything figured out. It
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: doesn't say the people who have the most money, the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: most connections, the most education, or the most experience. It
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: says the people who know their God. Y'all, there's something special, something.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: powerful about knowing who God is and knowing that he's
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: with you. When you know that God is greater than
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: what you're facing, you don't have to run from every
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: giant that stands in your way. You can face it
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: with faith. David didn't defeat Goliath because he was the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: biggest man on the battlefield. He defeated him because he
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: knew the God he served. And sometimes God will allow
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you to face something that's bigger than your ability so
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that when the victory comes, you'll know it wasn't because
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you alone did it. It was God. See, that's what
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: makes it a great exploit. Maybe God has placed a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: dream in your heart that seems too big. Maybe you've
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: been thinking about starting that business, going back to school,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: writing that book, stepping into ministry, applying for that opportunity,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: or using your gifts in a greater way. Stop telling
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: yourself I'm just average. No, you were created in the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: image of Almighty God. He's given you gifts, abilities, creativity, wisdom, courage,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and purpose. That doesn't mean everything is going to be easy.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you're going to accomplish everything simply by
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: believing in yourself. It means you can trust God to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: equip you for whatever he's called you to do. So
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: take the limits off your faith. Stop allowing fear to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: make decisions for you. Stop shrinking because the assignment looks
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: bigger than you. There's more in you than you think.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: But more importantly, there is more of God available to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you than you realize. Come on, Jesus. You're not walking
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: into the future alone. God is with you. So you
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: be strong. You be courageous. You pray bold prayers. Take
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the next step. Use the gifts God has placed on
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the inside of you. And when you look at what's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: ahead of you, don't just ask, can I do this?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Ask God, what can you do through me? Because when
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you know your God, you can face great challenges with
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: great faith and watch God do great things. Father, thank you.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Thank you that you are the all-powerful creator of the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: universe and that you have placed gifts and purpose inside
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of us. Help us stop putting limits on what you
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: can do through our lives. Give us courage to step
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: beyond our comfort zone and faith to pursue what you
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: called us to do when we face something bigger than
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: our ability. Remind us that we don't have to depend
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: on our strength alone. Increase our capacity, strengthen our faith,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and help us to carry out great exploits for your
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: glory in Jesus' name. Now that's your word for today.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Take it, apply it to your everyday life, and you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: continue to be encouraged and inspired. It is your early
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: morning praise party. I am Sherri Mackey.
