"Being the Kind of Person God Can Use"

If I can be honest with you for a minute...I tend to compare myself to others who seem to "have it together" who seem to be serving the Lord better than I am, and say to myself God can't use me. I was was humbled by this during Wednesday Night prayer meeting. Mr. Hollis filled in for my pastor and preached on I Samuel 17:40-51. I have to admit, when it comes to Old Testament passages I tend to "zone out" a bit. I am thankful I was able to keep focused on receive a blessing.

SIMPLY DESIRE TO BE USED OF God. God can take me and use me for His honor and glory in ways that I can't even imagine. I just have to be willing to be used of him because.....


1. God uses common ordinary people
   --- be willing to do and be honored of the Lord--be willing to do the mundane tasks

2. God uses consecrated people
   -- someone who has a relationship with the Lord and is willing to do what the Lord wants him to do. He demonstrates his relationship with Christ with other people

3. God uses committed people
    In spite of obstacles they still serve God; I need to be faithful and committed to the work that God has for me. 

4. Courageous People
  David was armed with the most unlikely weapons. Be willing to take a stand no matter how much it costs, and be willing to accept the results.
