Episode 18: How to be unstoppable
from Empowering Grace Podcast Hosted by Joe McIntyre
Have you ever said this to yourself? “If I was like so-and-so, I would be able to be a good Christian.” The devil will have you believing that things are harder for you because you don’t have a certain gift or giftings. Sometimes the people to whom we are comparing ourselves is our preachers. Did it ever occur to you that a preacher’s gifting is essentially telling others what they ought to do? Pastor Joe says: “I can tell everybody what they ought to do. But honest preachers know that when they step out of the pulpit, they don't have any more grace to do it than you do. In other words, I have a special gifting to tell you about this. But when I step out from behind this pulpit and have to live it, I don't have any special gifting to live it.” But this is good news! Because if it's the same for everybody, then victory is the same for everybody. Victory isn't easier personally for anybody. So in the words of the apostle Paul, “Stand, therefore.” You may not know how right now; you may need to grow; you may need to learn; you may need to develop. But there's nothing intrinsically wrong with you that will prevent you from becoming strong in God and walking in victory and fulfilling your destiny. Let it get a hold of you that you cannot be stopped. This episode is pulled from Pastor Joe's MP3 series, Strong in the Lord.
