We bring you today’s message from Pastor Steven Furtick, which is titled, “Permission to Live Again.”
Pastor Steven teaches us in this message that God has given us permission to live again. we’re encouraged to pursue the power and peace that God has put in each of us. God is saying the answer is not for you to shrink yourself; it is to depend on him and step into it. Sometimes in our lives we ashrink and we have our reasons. Maybe you don’t have a college education, you don’t have a support system in your life, the business failed, and you’re embarrassed, the addiction really has its claws in you, or you have been diagnosed with something that you don’t know if you’re going to live or die in this body.
Most of us feel like, “If we shrink, we’ll be safe. And if we’re not safe, at least we’ll feel safe. God is setting you free from You’re shrinking to feel safe. God said, “You keep shrinking, thinking it’ll make you safe, but the answer to your fear is not to shrink yourself down. The answer to your fear is not to shrink yourself. The answer is to get moving.” When they do security training, they teach you that the worst thing you can be is a sitting target. You have to get moving in this season of your life and not just sit in the thoughts of what could go wrong. The problem is that it doesn’t feel like a lot right now. The wisdom you have doesn’t feel like a lot right now. There are some facts to back that up. The problem is that you are a sitting duck for the devil down there. You’re not serving anyone. You’re not encouraging anyone. Some of you quit giving because you started watching the news. Are you crazy? You’re going to sit down there and die there? Get going with the strength you have.
Gideon has a dilemma. He’s in a real pickle. He’s down low. God is calling him up high. God is saying, “You’re a mighty warrior.” Here’s the word of the Lord for us: “You might be in a hard place. You might be alone, living by yourself. You might be in a very difficult dilemma. You might be in a situation where the odds are against you, but you are still a mighty warrior. If God is within you, he is more than anything that is against you.
