Exodus 3:9-12


FAKE NEWS STORY: My past disqualifies me from God's purpose for my life.

'''Look! The cry of the people of Israel has reached Me, and I have seen how harshly the Egyptians abuse them. Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You must lead My people Israel out of Egypt.' But Moses protested to God, 'Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?' God answered, 'I will be with you. And this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very mountain.''' Exodus 3:9-12 (NLT)

- THE LIE: My weaknesses keep God from using me.

''But Moses pleaded with the LORD, 'O Lord, I'm not very good with words. I never have been, and I'm not now, even though You have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.''' - Exodus 4:10 (NLT)

THE TRUTH: My weaknesses are what God uses most.

''Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.'' - 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 (NIV 2011)

- THE LIE: My failures are the final story.
''But Moses said, 'Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.''' - Exodus 4:13 (NIV)

THE TRUTH: God's purpose is the final story.
