To get UNSTUCK, to you need a PLAN and a POWER greater than your own.
1. DECADES QUESTION: Can you live the way you’re living right now for decades?
If you can’t, why are you living that way?
If you can’t, why are you living that way?
2. TRAJECTORY QUESTION: Can you get “THERE“ the way you are going?
Is the path that you are on taking you toward what you say you want? If not, what are you willing to do about it?
Is the path that you are on taking you toward what you say you want? If not, what are you willing to do about it?
What is your "There"?
https://hopecharlotte.com/message/unstuck/3. INSANITY QUESTION: If I keep doing what I am doing right now the way I am doing it right now, what will my life and relationship with God look like in 1-year, 3-years, 5-years?
KEY #1: Staying stuck is ALWAYS the absence of, insufficiency of, or the misapplication of TRUTH.
When you find yourself in your personal life repeating a cycle, there is TRUTH available to break you out of that CYCLE. But you have to move beyond KNOWING it, to FOLLOWING that truth.
The distance between the truth you KNOW and the truth you LIVE, equals the PAIN you EXPERIENCE.
The distance between the truth you KNOW and the truth you LIVE, equals the PAIN you EXPERIENCE.
Key TRUTH #2: The greatest barriers between you and the future you want are INSIDE of you, not OUTSIDE.
The only person who can take you out of the will of God is you, NOT ANYONE ELSE.
The only person who can take you out of the will of God is you, NOT ANYONE ELSE.
KEY TRUTH #3 Your Identity is more important than you CALLING or ASSIGNMENT.
Key Truth #4: My IDENTITY rests on the foundation of God’s GRACE, LOVE and STRENGTH.
We’re in Christ in His DEATH – so all our sins are completely forgiven.
We’re in Christ in His RESURRECTION – so we have new life and a new connection with God.
We’re in Christ in His LIFE – so the righteousness of Jesus has been credited to our account.
We’re in Christ in His ASCENSION – so we are seated with Christ at the right hand of the Father even now.
We’re in Christ in His RESURRECTION – so we have new life and a new connection with God.
We’re in Christ in His LIFE – so the righteousness of Jesus has been credited to our account.
We’re in Christ in His ASCENSION – so we are seated with Christ at the right hand of the Father even now.
HOPE OF OUR CALLING: We are chosen, loved, forgiven and sealed by the Holy Spirit.
JUSTIFICATION is the bedrock of our faith, but the doctrine of ADOPTION carries us to the heart of God.
J.I. PACKER- “Adoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers: higher even than justification. To be right with God the Judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by God the Father is greater.”
J.I. PACKER- “Adoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers: higher even than justification. To be right with God the Judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by God the Father is greater.”
The more we remind ourselves that we were helpless and hopeless apart from God’s saving grace, and now be reminded that we’re more valuable to Him than all the stars in the skies and all the jewels gold and silver found on earth, the more our Identity in Christ keeps us from becoming STUCK.
The TRUTH is that our Identity empowers us when we are confident that it NEVER Changes.
Our CALLING is the same as Adam & Eve’s – to bring the kingdom rule of God to every place on earth. Our CALLING never changes.
When we walk in our CALLING, confident in our IDENTITY, we sense God’s pleasure and don’t allow our sin nature or the temptations of the enemy and our own flesh to lead us into being STUCK.
So…when you know your identity and your calling, you find both your WORTH and PURPOSE.
So…when you know your identity and your calling, you find both your WORTH and PURPOSE.
When I’m secure in my IDENTITY and CALLING, I can now fulfill my ASSIGNMENT as a deeply beloved CHILD OF GOD.
The Father’s AFFIRMATION of you and me is apart from our PERFORMANCE. He loves us simply because we BELONG to Him.
Generosity at Hope.
Thank you for your generosity in supporting the ministry of Hope.
