Ican - God Can Use Me, Iwill - Obey Him And Commit My Life

4. Let God Use You To Change Others!

Isaiah 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Rom. 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

AND He promises us that He will always comfort us & protect us - Always!

Often in the Old Testament, when the scripture writers wanted to refer about God’s guidance, they would refer to God’s “HAND” guiding us…but when they specifically wanted to talk about God’s Power and protection – they would refer to God’s RIGHT HAND…because the “right” hand was a symbol of power. Because, for example, Kings in that day would make a decree with the signet ring on their right hand, settle issues with their right hand, fathers would transfer their blessing to their children with his right hand… So, listen to how the Psalmist describes God’s protection for us:

Psalm 139:7-10 7 Where can I go from thy spirit? Where can I possibly flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou are there: if I make my bed in the grave, behold, thou are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and fly into the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there you hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.

Let me remind you of a verse that we have reflected on for many, many weeks now:

I Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Be anchored in the Will of God…and as you are anchored in His perfect Will, start working like crazy…remember that the word “labor” is the word that means “to work to the point of exhaustion.” Like a runner who stretches to reach the finish line and is panting after he crosses the line, we are to labor for the Lord…

What situation do you know that you will face this week that you will be able to demonstrate one of the attitudes that we have discussed within this series thus far?

Love…someone

Tell…someone

Serve…someone

Stand…by Truth regardless of repercussions

Praise…God for many, many blessings

Forgive…someone

If you have never really accepted Jesus as your personal Savior, would you do it right now? Do not delay or put it off. If you would like to receive Christ by faith, pray this simple prayer in your heart:

Dear Lord, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died for my sins on the cross, and rose again the third day. I repent of my sins. By faith I receive the Lord Jesus as my Savior. You promised to save me, and I believe You, because You are God and cannot lie. I believe right now that the Lord Jesus is my personal Savior, and that all my sins are forgiven through His precious blood. I thank You, dear Lord, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you prayed that prayer, God heard you and saved you. I personally want to welcome you to the family of God and rejoice with you.
