Study Notes - Wednesday Night Bible Study, January 23rd, 2008

From the middle of Exodus chapter 3 to chapter 4, Moses makes excuses.
"An excuse is a bold-faced lie, wrapped in the onion-skin of reason."

Self Image:
* God always speaks to your potential.
* What you believe about yourself determines where you will be.
* The will of God is not automatic.
* How you see yourself will determine what God can do with you.

In Judges, Gideon hadn't stepped into his identity.

Prejection: Put off on others what is in you.

People who are afraid are not an asset - they are a liability.

* Pay attention to where you are - "Do you know where you are? Favor!"
* Don't reason away what God is doing. ie God works a miracle - man tries to explain it away.
* Remain God Conscious.
* Greatness is not an accident.

Are there opportunities of faith that you may have missed because of what you thought about yourself?
