Going to start a new blog series this week and I am going to be basically blogging the message that I preached Friday night at the Conference. Typing it out it would be quite a lengthy blog so I am going to break it up into bits and pieces. Just so you know what is to come, I am going to give you the basic rundown and then I will go into detail with each point as we progress.
1. Know the internal and external forces that form me into who I am.
2. Here is the hardest part, being broken, we must be humbled before God.
3. Allow God to put us on the Potter's Wheel. (God is in control)
4. When we go through the fire of trials, know these are only solidifying us as the vessel of honor that God is making us to be!!
You ever seen the commercial where there are all of these people on these conveyor belts, women on one side and men on the other, at one point on the conveyor belt there is this machine that comes together around these people and when they come out on the other side they are all the same, the woman is blond hair, blue eyed? The guy is brown hair, green eyed, that is what the enemy does he uses those inside and outside forces in our lives and attempts to do the same thing to every person. The Bible says, John 10:10 - The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. So you can see that the enemy wants to put us all into that same mold, the destroyed mold!! But God wants you to break that mold, because he has life for you and it's an abundant life!!!
We will go into detail a little more tomorrow on the things that are out of our control that contribute to forming us into who we are today!
God Bless,
Nathan
