3 Sermon Notes
I.
You know what the enemy can do, but how often do you wonder what God can do in your situation? Some of us give up because we know the plans of the enemy better than we know the plans of God. We let the enemy move us out of our position when God says that if you limit me based on what you think the enemy can do, you will never see the full potential of what your God can do.
Don’t limit him.
As long as the enemy has your ear, he has your mind. As long as the enemy has your mind, he has your hands. If you really want your power back, you have to meditate on God’s words and hear what God says about you. He has something to say about your finances, family, and hope. You know what the enemy says, but did you hear what God is saying?
It’s time for you to turn the volume down on the enemy and turn the volume up on the God who called you. The God who sees you; the God who knows you.

II.
Have you ever disguised your fear with reason? Sometimes God uses you to do something unreasonable, and it's going to sound scary for you to do something so unreasonable, but if you reason yourself out of what God called you to do, you're going to be in more danger than if you just stood where God told you to stand and allowed yourself to do something that seemed unreasonable.
You were so busy trying to be God that you couldn't let God be God, and now you just have to trust God.

III.
We are a part of a royal priesthood, and we are children of the most high God. He is all powerful, all knowing, and when he places something in your spirit you have to remember that even when it gets hard and even when you feel trapped, you are backed by power. When you recognize that you are backed by power; it gives you courage and gives you strategy, and it makes you sensitive for sure, but it also dethrones the rule and reign of the enemy. I need you to stand in your power. Culture would have you believe that power is about who's going to be the most arrogant, most popular, the most famous, but that's not power; it's who's going to be the most obedient. Who's going to do it with humility and accountability? Power is available to everyone, but not everyone is willing to do the work.

"There were times where I had to determined in my spirit that I would not let the place I'm in make me doubt the purpose that I carry. I realized that I couldn’t receive the present blessings by living mentally in my past experiences. I had to get what God was giving me in this day." - Rhonda Matthews
