WHAT’S STOPPING YOU?

QUESTION • What keeps you from doing what you believe God wants you to do?

JUDGES 6: 11 -12 • 11 Then the angel of the LORD came and sat beneath the great tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash of the clan of Abiezer. Gideon son of Joash was threshing wheat at the bottom of a winepress to hide the grain from the Midianites. • 12 The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the LORD is with you!”

JUDGES 6: 13 • 13 “Sir, ” Gideon replied, “if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn’t they say, ‘The LORD brought us up out of Egypt’? But now the LORD has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites. ”

POINT ONE • Fear can paralyze us from moving into what God has for us.

POINT TWO • Looking back at the past can keep us from moving into the future.

JUDGES 6: 14 -15 • 14 Then the LORD turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!” • 15 “But Lord, ” Gideon replied, “how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!”

POINT THREE • Don’t let your perception of who you are keep you from being obedient to what God has for you.

JUDGES 6: 16 • 16 The LORD said to him, “I will be with you. And you will destroy the Midianites as if you were fighting against one man. ”

POINT FOUR • Don’t doubt what God has told you. Doubt will keep you from obedience.

AMOS 7: 12 -13 • 12 Then Amaziah sent orders to Amos: “Get out of here, you prophet! Go on back to the land of Judah, and earn your living by prophesying there! • 13 Don’t bother us with your prophecies here in Bethel. This is the king’s sanctuary and the national place of worship!”

AMOS 7: 14 -15 • 14 But Amos replied, “I’m not a professional prophet, and I was never trained to be one. I’m just a shepherd, and I take care of sycamore-fig trees. • 15 But the LORD called me away from my flock and told me, ‘Go and prophesy to my people in Israel. ’ • 16 Now then, listen to this message from the LORD :

POINT FOUR • Letting the voice of man speak louder to you than the voice of God will keep you from obedience.

CONCLUSION • Is there something that you feel God is telling you? • What’s stopping you from being obedient?
