Anchor Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-16
Episode Focus: Ephesians 4:8-13
We've grown, we've learned, and we've got God and now we're ready to move into a new season, a new job, new community, new something.. but let's hold on a little longer. we have to stay 'posted on the strip', or in other words, what if God is telling you to stay in the place he saved you from a little longer? Don't be so quick to leave. Sometimes God gets us out but tells us to stay… in the place He called you out of, in the environment you’re now ready to rush out of, stay there a bit.
What if God's promise and power is in the place you're ready to rush out of? Don't miss your blessings, the power, the promise, and the Spirit that God is pressing in you because you want to be seen as someone that has grown. You and God know that there has been growth. Growth happens in the inside before ever showing up externally and often times where we are doesn't show us how much growth has actually transpired in our lives and we're eager to showcase that. But stay posted, keep in pace, there are still things you can acquire in the place that once broke you, the place that once held you back. Use your newfound self and enlightenment in the place you were once ignorant and in darkness. God wants to use you there. Don't strip God of using you in your stripping.
You're still being stripped, even though you've been refined. Can you strip the attachment in proving that you've grown, that you're better off and doing better than others, that the place you outgrown is less than.. can you outgrow, continue to be refined, and be stripped from these thoughts & disposition of yours??
