Transitions - Letting Go

Session 1 of our 2010 Ladies retreat

Are you willing to surrender to my way?

The cost is obedience...

Hinderances of stepping into God's will

1. Fear
- of the unknown (easier to stay put)
- Am I good enough for God's calling?

2.  Lack of Trust
-is God adequate?
-Do I trust God in my heart with my life details?

3.  Not believing that I am loved by God
-will I really trust God with it?
-I need to decide to give it to God

4.  Sacrifice - the requirement of sacrifice
- what is the risk?

5.  Inflexibility
- I need to be flexible to do it God's way
-am I really hungry?  Am I really willing?
-am I really passionate?
-Do I really want God to add fuel to my fire?

6.  Putting God in a box
-God is only getting started!
-He is beyond what we can ask, think, or imagine.

At the end of this first session I was left to answer the following questions... honestly

Am I willing to surrender to God's way?

What are my fears?

Am I good enough for God's calling?

Do I lack trust in God?

Do I trust God in the bottom of my heart?

Do I really know that God loves me?

Am I really ready to trust God with Everything?

What sacrifices will I have to make to do what God is asking of me?

Am I willing to make those sacrifices?

What are the risks?

Am I willing to take those risks?

Am I really hungry?

Am I really passionate?

Do I really want God to add fuel to my fire?

Am I really willing?

Don't put God in a box!  He is only getting started and He will do more than I can ever ask, think or imagine!!
