Life is A lot of work & can be very hard at times. What is it that gives us strength to continue when we're tired & burned out? INSPIRATION! Inspiration comes in many forms. BNspired sole hope is for you to leave this blog feeling so refreshed that you'll be able to spread the word in hopes of inspiring someone else!
This post is long overdue. Lecrae recent album "All Things Work Together" is a "must listen". Lecrae comes as real as he can on this new album. It's honestly an album that is very different from his previous albums in my eyes.
I listen to some of the songs on this album daily due to the fact that they truly encourage me. The title in itself is encouraging because it stems from Romans 8:28 which is promise from God. All Things Work Together For The Good Of Those Who Love God and Are Called According To His Purpose! That has been my theme verse for this year.
I came across this message few days ago and it really impacted me in powerful way. If you have 39 minutes, please take time to watch this message. BNspired to watch it with an open heart!!
It's Powerful!
Notes:
Shipwrecked- Sarah Jakes Roberts
Running your ship aground = Shipwrecked
Aground- on or into the ground, In a stranded condition or state
•When storms are to hard for the ship to press through its shipwrecked/ run aground
Acts 27:22*How is it that things are going to be okay but we’re going to lose the ship?
*We are going to lose some ships along the way! Relationships, friendships, endure some hardships.
It’s to show us that we trustingto much in the ships in the first place.
•Sometimes we put to much faith in the ship and not enough faith in God who placed us on the ship!
•He causes all thingsto work togetherfor our good! *God does His best work when we’re shipwrecked
•Shipwrecks make you humble and make you press into God in a whole new way.
V.24“Must Be”
We have a must be encounter hanging over our life.
Who Must I Be that I’m still here? Whom must I be that you’ve chosen me to have this influence?
We have to ask ourselves that.
•He’s placed a hedge of protection around us bc we have a “must be”
over our head.
•He wants us to get focused on what He wants us to do.
•The world will become better when we figure out who we must be!
Who must Ibe that youstill have me here? Tell me who IamGod! Ask God
“what do you see in me that Idon’t see?”
•We have a Devineapportionment with the next version of who you are!!
V.25- Believe God
•Paul is in the middle of the storm and he tells them I believe God!
Do you believe in the dark times?
•When I look back over my life I see how believing God showed me who I really was and opened doors for me.
•I believe Him!! I’ve seen him show up in my life!!
•We need the belief that even when we’re shipwrecked but still trust Him.
•Believe him like it’s already done and you’re not even there yet!
More Notes
•God wants to know what are we going to do on the island we’re on! There is work for you to do right where you are!!
•My biggest concern is staying connected to God bc I don’t know how I’m even going to make it to the next level.
•God used a shipwreck to reprioritize what they’re concern was.
•Your shipwreck seasons are more anointed than your Caesar moments bc it’s when we really need God!! It’s when we press into Him.
•God pull me aside if you have too. Shipwreck me if you have to! Take it away from me if I don’t need it. I want to know that I’m doing what you’re called me to do!
•I know that if I’m shipwrecked its just for a moment it’s only so I can be prepared to soar in the next dimension
