The Seven Most Powerful Words (9 of 18)
Series: New Testament Sampler

Philippians 4:13
Introduction: Magicians perform amazing feats with just a word--"abracadabra." That's not for real. Ali Baba in the Arabian Nights opened the door to the robbers' cave with a secret command--"Open Sesame." That's make-believe. Those of us who grew up watching Captain Kangaroo (that's long before Big Bird and Kermit the Frog) will never forget his magic words, "please and thank-you." Those are good words for sure, but not necessarily magic! Tonight I want to share with you seven words that are for real. They are the most powerful words in the world. These seven little words, if understood and believed--really believed, will enable you to overcome any obstacle, conquer every challenge, fight off every foe, bear any burden, and shoulder any sacrifice.

On occasion, he used a dumb beast. But almost always the Lord of glory calls men and women to do his bidding. But not just any men and women. God is partial to a certain kind.
God seeks out ordinary folk to use. God seldom uses the mighty, the powerful, the rich, or the influential. The reason is obvious. Too often such people are too full of themselves to be useful to God. ...
