Title: Are You Ready?
Author: Steve Wagers
Text: Acts 21:13; Romans 1:15; 2 Timothy 4:6
A vacuum cleaner salesman knocked on the door of a remote farmhouse. When the woman of the house answered the door, he walked in and dumped a bag of dirt on the floor. The salesman said, "Now, I want to make a deal with you. If this super-duper new vacuum cleaner doesn't pick up every bit of this dirt, I'll eat what's left." The farmer's wife handed him a spoon and said, "I hope you're ready to eat dirt. We don't have any electricity."
At this very moment, are you ready?
...to BE what God has called you to be?
... to DO what God has called you to do?
... to GO where God has called you to go?
...to SAY what God has called you to say?
If you STAY ready, you never have to GET ready
There is:
No better TIME than right NOW
No better PLACE than right HERE
If not YOU, WHO?
If not NOW, WHEN?
If not THIS, WHAT?
If not HERE, WHERE?

Paul was ready to pay the price, no matter the cost. Determined to do what God had called him to do.
(Acts 20:24) "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God."
"NONE OF THESE THINGS MOVE ME"
PROBLEMS - PEOPLE - PRIDE - PRESSURE
He had:
no ambitions--so had nothing to be jealous about.
no reputation--so had nothing to fight about.
no possessions-so had nothing to worry about.
no "rights"--so therefore he could not suffer wrong.
He was already broken--so no one could break him.
He ...
