As members of the Kingdom of God (the Church, the Body of Christ, His Bride), we have given our lives over to God and been born again in Him. Born again into His Kingdom and given our lives over to Him to guide us as servants and soldiers, available to do His Will in the way we live, trusting Him fully to do what He asks, when He asks, and how He asks.

Unfortunately, we often find ourselves discounting God’s leadings and justifying why we cannot fulfill what He asks of us, without realizing the subtle position we are placing ourselves in... we are becoming in charge and not God.

• Justifying our tiredness and laziness not to do what HE asks.
• His timing to do what HE asks is not good.
• My situation won’t allow me to do what HE asks.
• I am physically or mentally unable to do what He asks.

I will be using the examples of Moses and Paul today as I focus on situations and handicaps that cannot stop God’s will for us as His servant and soldier. God Bless, Pastor John
