God's Misfits

Many of us today feel inadequate to be God's instrument that He uses because of our decisions we have made in the past. There are many reasons for this. It could be because we haven't really forgiven our self even though our Father has. Maybe it's because of how others think of us and the things they say about us. But really in most cases, it's Satan that tries to control us about what we have done, so our Father can't use us. Remember this, God will always win.



When we look back through the scripture we can find many that felt they were not adequate enough to be used by God. Many of our great saints we have studied for years, committed some huge sins, but yet God used them. Think with me for just a moment and lets look at a few of them.



The very first one we come across, was Moses. Moses killed a man in Egypt and spent forty years in the desert before going back and leading God's people.



Aaron cast gold into the fire and said that the golden calf just jumped out and they worshipped the golden calf. He later became the first High Priest.



King David was an adulterer and murderer yet God used him in a mighty way.



Jonah was disobedient on many occasions, but God sent him to Nineveh anyway and did a great work through him.



Peter denied God three times adamantly, still God used him.



But possibly one of the biggest was our brother Saul who was converted and became our Paul. We all know what he was doing before God moved in his life. He was killing and persecuting Christians. Yet God wrote almost the entire New Testament through him along with other great things.



Are you a misfit? Do you have that THING that causes you to not do what you feel the Lord calling you to do? Coming from one who knows, GIVE UP. God is going to use you the way He wants to. We go through so many things because we won't follow. We can avoid many of those things by just surrendering. Never listen to Satan. He is the liar of all liars. He is a deceiver. God doesn't care what you have done. In fact, God has this way of using the most unlikely candidate for His mission. Why would God do this? Could it be because by picking you and me, those who see, know that it can't be you but has to be God. When God takes people who don't fit our definition of THE ONE, it becomes a miracle and God is glorified. Where if it had been done by one that we expect, we would tend to think of the one who did it instead of our Father.



Remember this, our God is the God of victory, not defeat. Jesus has overcome all our sin. We have been forgiven for every one we have committed and every one we will commit. We are not bond to anything. He has set us free and God can do anything He so chooses. Not only that, but He will supply everything we need to get it done. What God will do through us is not done in our self, but it is actually God Himself performing all that is said and done. We all have a message to tell. There are many who are out there that are going or have gone through the same as you. They need you to speak up and tell what God is doing and has done for you. God uses us all to share His great love He has for us. We are living in a very troubled time and most of us need to feel the freshness of our Father. The Holy Spirit is touching our hearts to share His word and work, that He is doing in our life.



I have spoken of a great movement that has begun and we will be participants in the days to come. Our God will not let us be broken. The fear that is before us, He is greater than. He will supply us all that we need. God's people need to hear this. Plus there are many that don't know our Jesus, that will come to Him in this time. God is rounding up all of us misfits and has a plan to use us for His glory. As He spoke to Peter and James, come follow me and I will teach you to be fishers of men. Mark these words down, you will have the opportunity to step out with the Lord and unite our hearts together for the same cause. It won't be a denominational move. It will be a spiritual movement that involves each of us lead by our Lord Jesus. Accept the call, deny yourself and take up His cross and follow.



Remember God does His greatest work through us MISFITS. He chooses us to do His work through. I look forward to seeing you in the near days standing side by side participating in this great work. Be praying now. Now is the time.



God be with us all,

Stan
