IF: Gathering
IF: Gathering exists to gather, equip, and train a generation.
Numbers 13
Joshua
12 spies...
We {kind of} believe that God can use us for a purpose
...but there are Giants!
We {kind of} feel like a grasshopper.
We are grasshoppers and there ARE Giants ....
But-God!
We will lay down our grasshopper insecurities because..YOU.(God)
I don't want to be a generation that missed it.
Go fight the Giants! Take the land!
EVEN IF we don't think we can!
IF: Gathering Question
What could you God do in YOUR land for YOUR ppl?
{make a list}
Cute Quote:
We all think we are going to be janitors in Heaven

Book: Grave Robber
We trust God for the BIG miracles
We need to trust him in the "little" ones.
We all want miracles-we just don't want a reason for one.
Thomas Jefferson cut out the miracles in the Bible....
What promises have you stopped believing?
How much better would you be if you would believe in a God who is bigger than your box?
Don't seek miracles
Seek Jesus
Never put a comma where God puts a period.
Never put a period where God puts a comma.
God can't bring back to life what is not dead.
Sometimes it looks like God is missing the mark bc we are too short sided of what what he is aiming for.
Maybe God is preparing you for something you haven't thought of.
Ie the Story of Lazarus.
Allow moments and space for God to show up.
Don't give up on something unless God releases you.
Exodus:
Stand still and you will
See the deliverance of the Lord
Don't Panic
If one thing doesn't die another thing can't come to life.
Be willing to look foolish
Take the risk!
Work like it depends on you
Pray like it depends on God

Q: who are you?
Q: what breaks your heart?
There is a correlation between leadership and change.
Great leaders make things better.
Status Quo drives leaders crazy!!!!!...
-leaders hate to see broken things continue.
Leaders don't blame.
Blame is the most effective change avoidance strategy.
Broken hearted leaders change things that go beyond their generation.
The thing that breaks your heart may be THE THING that God wants to do through you.
It is possible that what breaks yor heart is Devine Design
You have NO idea who/what hangs in the balance of your decision to embrace the burden on your heart.
Don't Fear!
Don't choose "purposeless" over fear.
Ie: don't think that you are not good enough to do whatever it is
Many years from now- what would you like for people to thank you for?
What God originates, God orchestrates.
HOW is not an issue
Who are you?
What breaks your heart?

Change Yourself: Strengthen your core.
Love the Lord Your God with all your (core) heart, mind, and soul. Love your neighbor as yourself.
We love others as we love ourselves-we just don't love ourselves that much.
You do what you WANT in passion....
You do what you HAVE to out of obligation.
Skinny jeans and a ratio does not make you a leader.
Don't go from burn out to burn out fill yourself with Jesus.
Soul:
Our souls are damaged and it takes hard work to heal them.
We can't accelerate what takes work.
Ex. You may decide to follow Jesus and walk down the aisle to alter with cellulite on your legs but after you say amen, doesn't mean the cellulite will be gone!
You have to do the work.
We must go through the pain of recovery
We put on a good show.
(How you clean your house for guests. You hide the mess)
Same with our souls.
Same with church.
(Oh snap)
Mind.
Take control of your thoughts.
Fill them with the truth of God.
God has not given us a spirit of fear
Cancer is not terminal
Life is!
Christ is Eternal!!
If you see the devil tell him I'm
Going to bed bc God's got this!
Find HOPE in Gods Word!
