WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT STORIES, BUT ALL TO THE SAME RESOLVE; GOD WANTS TO TRANSFORM YOU.
MANY OF US COMPLETELY MISS WHAT GOD WAS TRYING TO DO IN OUR LIVES.
MANY OF US COMPLETELY MISS WHAT GOD WAS TRYING TO DO IN OUR LIVES.
MAYBE WE AREN’T SO DIFFERENT FROM SAUL WHO WAS SELF JUSTIFIED IN HIS SIN.
WHY ARE YOU IGNORING THE NUDGING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?
SOMETIMES GOD HAS TO USE EXTREME TACTICS TO GET YOUR ATTENTION!
SOMETIMES GOD HAS TO USE EXTREME TACTICS TO GET YOUR ATTENTION!
GOD TOOK AWAY EVERYTHING THAT WAS DISTRACTING SAUL. HE TOOK HIS SIGHT AND HE GOT HIM ALONE.
SAUL WAS AT HIS BEST, WHEN HE WAS AT HIS PHYSICAL WORST.
SAUL WAS AT HIS BEST, WHEN HE WAS AT HIS PHYSICAL WORST.
GOD DOESN’T WORK ALONG SIDE YOUR PRIDE! THE PROUD HEART HAS NO ROOM FOR JESUS! HE BREAKS YOUR PRIDE.
ONLY THEN CAN YOU GO THE DIRECTION THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NUDGING YOU.
ONLY THEN CAN YOU GO THE DIRECTION THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NUDGING YOU.
GOD HAS PLANS AND NOTHING IS TOO BIG WHEN GOD HAS HIS HAND IN IT.
THERE’S A MOMENT THAT WE SEE CLEARLY THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL.
WE SHOULDN’T BE WRESTLING TO GET OUR WAY, BUT INSTEAD WE NEED TO HOLD ONTO JESUS WITH EVERYTHING WE HAVE AND CRY OUT, "LORD BLESS ME!”
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?
Talk It Over
1. What did God say to you from the message? What affirmed your walk with God? What stuck out and challenged your walk with God?
2. In your own words describe what Dan is saying in this quote: “We all have different stories, but all to the same resolve; God wants to transform you, but many of us completely miss what God was trying to do in our lives.” Many people give up on the idea that God can transform them. How do you know that God hasn’t given up? Describe a time you completely missed that God wanted to transform your life?
3. Acts 9:7-9 says, "The men who traveled with him, stood up speechless hearing the voice, but seeing no one. Saul got up from the ground in though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; And leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without site, and neither ate nor drank.” God took away everything that was distracting Saul. He took his sight and he Got him alone. Describe a time in your life when God got your undivided attention. How has it shaped you?
4. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 says, "And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.” Dan said, "God doesn’t work along side your pride! The proud heart has no room for Jesus, therefore, He breaks your pride.” How has God broken your pride in the past? What would you say to someone that is living a life in disobedience to the Holy Spirit’s nudging or God's word?
5. In Genesis 32:26 Jacob is wrestling God and God dislocates his hip, “Then he [God] said, let me go, for dawn is breaking. But he [Jacob] said I will not let you go, unless you bless me.” What are you wrestling with God about in your life right now? More importantly, in what ways are you wrestling God to hold onto Him to bless you life? Stop and pray a prayer of confession and rededication to Jesus.
