True North Collective

Naturally we all take on assignments, projects, mandates, etc. and once were in them the feeling of “I’m not fully equipped for this begins to rise up within us” The worst is when we see others doing the same thing as us but their results are better than ours. Which causes to believe the lie of I can’t do this This must not be my calling This must not be what I was created for I’m wasting my life at this job I’m wasting my life living in this town I’m wasting my life serving at this little church I’m wasting my life bc i’m not married or bc i don’t have kids or bc i don’t have someone to come home to, ETC IF SATAN IS TELLING YOU ALL THOSE THINGS- WHAT DO YOU THINK GOD IS SAYING?! Acts 1:2-9 Verse 8 8But I promise you this—the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and you will be seized with power. You will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces —even to the remotest places on earth!” Power- in the greek - Dynamis(doo’-nam-is) it’s where we get the word dynamite Power, ability physical or moral as residing in a person or thing “In Him we live and move….” Power in action as in performing miracles! THAT IS THE TYPE OF POWER GIVEN TO EVERY BELIEVER! THE HOLY SPIRIT IS EQUIPPING YOU WITH POWER TO LIVE AND MOVE AND FUNCTION AND THAT SAME SPIRIT OF GOD EQUIPS YOU TO DO THE SAME THINGS JESUS DID ON THE EARTH WHICH ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS PERFORM MIRACLES TO SHOW THE GLORY OF GOD. LET THAT MARINATE! Verse 8 Jesus said you will have power to be my messengers. Moses didn’t represent God without signs and wonders Elijah and Elisha didn’t point to God without signs and wonders Jesus didn’t just speak the words of God He performed miracles as well. THE HOLY SPIRIT EQUIPS YOU TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL THROUGH YOUR SPEECH, THROUGH SIGNS AND WONDERS & THROUGH THE WAY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE AND SO MUCH MORE.......
