'Have a bigger dream'... 'Ignore the voices that say it can't be done'

My Church (Ivy Manchester) is going through a challenging and exciting season. Lead by Anthony Delany we seem to be pulled, on a weekly basis, out of our comfort zones and challenged to think, and importantly act, on what God is saying and where God wants us to be.

I made a note of the following quotes, from the last few weeks,

'Things on earth grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace" - a real challenge to getting dragged into daily personal concerns

"To be great in Gods Kingdom you must become a servant"

"surviving is no way to live, be alive!"

"Ignore the voices that say it can't be done"

In our lives we will be in 1 of 3 places: 1. A time to serve, 2. A time to wait, 3. a time to go.

Looking at Moses in Exodus Moses made God wait 40 years until he reached the point that he had sufficient confidence to trust that Gods call was right and to step out. I don't have 40 years so this chapter of life is about finding out what God is saying I need to be doing and then doing it.
