From -- 'Why me?' to 'Why not me?' "Do not think  that because you in the king's house you alone of the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" (4:13, 14). “...gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will also fast as you do. After that I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.”” (Esther 4:16 NRSV) 'The queen of the Medo-Persian Empire went from a life of ease to a life of impact. Esther had not been a woman who aspired to "change the world;" on the contrary, she desired security. That all changed because she saw a need, and realised that she was the person to meet that need. She was needed. God had a plan for her life. Her purposeless existence now had a meaning of more worth than a thousand outfits of silks and satins, of more worth than all the choice food and luxurious surroundings. She had been given something to do that could change lives forever, and by the grace of God she would do it.' Maria May How do we handle feelings of inadequacy? Do you suffer from imposter syndrome?Many other Biblical heroes faced feelings of inadequacy: Nehemiah - "At the time, I was cupbearer to the king." Nehemiah 1.11 Moses. In Exodus 3-4, Moses raises several objections and questions, including "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?" and "What if they do not believe me or listen to me?" Gideon: Gideon, in the Book of Judges, is called by God to lead the Israelites against their oppressors, the Midianites. Initially, Gideon questions why he, from the weakest clan, is chosen for such a task and seeks confirmation through signs and miracles. Jeremiah: The prophet Jeremiah expresses feelings of inadequacy and questions why he was chosen as a prophet. In Jeremiah 1:6, he says, "Alas, Sovereign Lord, I do not know how to speak; I am too young." What does the story of Esther and others like her teach us? Inadequacy is healthy: The alternative is that we all feel super-confident and that we deserve a role. That way leads to debilitating pride. “...when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!”” (Luke 5:8 NRSV) That response was the right one in order to become a follower of Jesus Inadequacy is not deadly: “Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them—though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.” (1 Corinthians 15:8-10 NRSV) Paul combined humility with faith Paul's unsuitability to be an Apostle was part of the reason he was chosen! Perhaps that's true for you too! Conclusion 'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. As we let our own Light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.' Brene Brown, I thought it was just me I wonder sometimes how much of my feelings of inadequacy are really my sinful nature's self-defence mechanism attempting to 'protect' me from trying 'new things' for God. My sinful nature loves my comfort zone. Can you see some area of faith where God is calling you to move from 'Why me?' to 'Why not me?'?  Please add your comments on this week's topic.

This is honestly one of my favorite shows on tv, I discovered in back in 2019 while searching HBO. I want to clarify that this is a satire and I cannot repeat that enough, this is a satire. I was so sad to see that season 2 had been put on hold due to COVID and now after 2 years of waiting, season 2 has started. I did see that season 3 has been announced, so that is super exciting. This show is on HBO and is not for children to watch, I wanted to clarify that as well, although if you're listening to this podcast you should know that. Danny McBride has done a phenomenal job with the series and I can't wait for more.

August 30, 2020 - Pastor Donny MartinThe Story of Gideon: Less is More

Give us a Rating and Review   How to Overcoming Obstacles in Life Have you read the biblical story about Gideon? Gideon had a call for a great purpose, but he refused the call, testing God instead of complying. Gideon’s story is rich in lessons that we can borrow and apply in our lives to help us overcome obstacles. How many times have you heard people say,” in everything give thanks”? It sounds easier said than done, but once you start applying this principle, genuinely, I can assure you, life will never be the same. In today’s episode, we will be concentrating on Gideon’s story and the lessons we can learn from it on how to overcome obstacles in life. The Eight Basic Principles to Overcoming Obstacles: Answer the call We do not overcome the things we are dealing with right now for self-glorification Fear is contagious Focus on the objective that you want to accomplish and not the obstacle Be grateful for this chance to serve Faith is contagious Trust that the source is working on the other tent for the greater good Be humble Special Moments in the Episode: 7:11 What’s the meaning of life? 8:21 The power of giving thanks in everything 19:58 Gideon’s story 24:25 Answering the call 25:21 We do not overcome the things we are dealing with right now for self-glorification 28:02 The truth about fear 31:32 Focusing on the objective you want to accomplish and not the obstacle 35:41 Faith is contagious 38:45 Aligning with true service 42:50 Starting everything you do with greater power than yourself 46:00 Be humble Magic Quotes from Mark J Ego is the only real enemy which stands for easing good or easing God out. Start everything you do with greater power than yourself. Otherwise, you are going to be vulnerable to self- centeredness. If we’re aligned with true service and encouragement, we will get encouragement. Stop letting the world tell you what makes you fit in. Why fit in when you were born to stand out. Like fear, faith is also contagious. Success is a service. Give more to get more. Myths show us how to live. Every adversity does have a seed for equal or a greater benefit. The only meaning your life is ever going to have is the meaning you give it.

Scripture Ref: Judges 6; Judges 7:10Topic: FaithNotes:- Israel did evil and the Lord placed them in the had of Median- Israel cried out to God, he sent a prophet- The angel of the Lord (Jesus) appeared to Gideon- Gideon's questions: Where is God?  Where are the miracles?  How can I do this?  Give me a sign.- Jews struggled to believe Jesus is God, we to believe He was a man- We have a fake concept of spirituality and faith- Abraham, a man of faith, at times pulled strings to make things happen- Never put faith in your faith, but in Jesus- God looks on the heart, does not accept our excuses- He equips who He calls.  It doesn’t matter how much or what sin
