He Came: The Christmas Story (Part 4) – Don’t Abort the Mission!


Sunday, December 22nd, 2019


Scripture: Luke 1:26-38


Speaker: Minister Cira Davis 


 


Luke 1:26-38 NLT


Fear makes you run and hide.  With fear in the way, God's direction for your life is blocked.


The fulfillment of the Christmas story was threatened by fear.


God challenged Mary's fear with the peace of divine purpose.  Mary chose to trust God rather than resist her calling.


Don’t seek approval for your life from others. The arms of flesh will fail you, dare not trust your own.


God will always give you a sign in the spiritual and earthly realm.


When we hesitate with what God has called us to do, we create a breeding ground for doubt, fear and insecurity.


Trust the direction/plan God has for your life. Stay the course and DON’T ABORT THE MISSION!!!!


Conclusion


Whatever God has called you to do, don’t let any potential persecution or judgment of others keep you from obedience and God's purpose for your life.  


God's plan is worth ANY  resistance you might face in this world.


 


Action Plan


Ask God to reveal what He created you to do and be confident that He’ll equip you to do it.
Commit to God’s purpose for your life even if it's difficult and the people around you don’t understand.  
Allow God to speak TRUTH to whatever is giving you anxiety today.  He will empower you to move forward into your purpose.
Allow PEACE to reign in your life.
