Message:

Being used of God

2 Chronicles 16 vs 9
“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him”

Over the years in ministry I have found that most believers have one thing in common. Almost all those that I have come into contact with have a strong desire to be used of God. Little do they realize that is the very reason why God saves us, so that we can be used for His glory?

Hebrews 2 vs. 6 “ What is man that, you are mindful of him”

Some of us ask the questions:

How can God use me?
What special talents do I have?

God is not concerned with your talents or your physical attributes. If that were the criteria then most of us would not be able to be used.
God only sees one thing, and that is your heart.
It is our heart that determines whether God can use us, if you are obedient and righteous and in line with God’s will, then that is all you will need.

Often believers are concerned about their past and that will stop them from reaching their fullest potential in Christ Jesus.
The Bible states:

2 Corinthians 5 vs. 17
“Therefore if anyone be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away”

Once we are filled with the Holy Spirit we are able to operate outside the natural and move into a supernatural realm where we take on a new persona.
We are then able to tap into:

The ability of God
The authority of God
The power of God

Now you have given up the old man and become the creation that God wants you to be. Your new life begins, but don’t get carried away. It doesn’t happen overnight.
It takes time as God shapes your character and moulds you into the person that He wants you to be.
We come to a place of surrender, where we lay down the things of the past that have caused us to miss out on taking on the character of God.
