If you could pick one word, I could tell you this. When you stand before the Lord in the end, the one word you're gonna wanna hear is faithful. Not perfect, but faithful. You see, Jesus makes us perfect, but we choose whether or not we're gonna be faithful with what God has given us. But what does it mean to be faithful? Right? What does that look like? How do we live that concept out in day to day real life? [00:26:36] (36 seconds)  #FaithfulOverPerfect Download clip

You need to understand that every prompting you feel may not be from god, so always test it by what? The word of god. The word of god is the sword of the spirit. It's the tool that the spirit uses. And it's sharp and it's active and it's alive and it's effective. But when you feel a prompting, you need to know god's spirit will never prompt you in anything contrary to god's word ever.

The holy spirit is god himself. Jesus said when he went back to the father, he was gonna send this helper to them, this advocate who's working on their behalf. And friends, you and I, if we are in Christ, have been given that gift from God. We have the Holy Spirit in us. He's alive and he's well and he's God helping us. That's what advocate means. He's working on our behalf. [00:51:15] (27 seconds)  #HolySpiritOurAdvocate Download clip

You see, you're more apt to listen to the promptings if it's not all about you anymore. It's all about him. That your life is really now all about completing the task god has for you, not about the goals you're trying to meet for yourself, the achievements that you're trying to get, the recognition that we want. No. This is all about completing the task that god wants us to complete while we're here. Of testifying to the good news of god's grace. [00:54:12] (39 seconds)  #LiveForGodsTask Download clip

You have no idea how god might use one single word of encouragement just to keep somebody going, just to help them take one more step, just to get through one more day, just to go back and keep working on that marriage that they're struggling in, just to to not give up on their kids when they're so far away from where god wants them to be, just just so they they know even though they don't like going into work tomorrow, there's a plan for that and a purpose for that, and people care about what's going on. They just need a single word of encouragement today, and god wants you. He can use you to be that person that brings that encouragement to them.

You could be the exception. You could be the one that adds value to them that day. That says something like this to them. Wow. I know this has been hard for you. I I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. Thank you for trying to help me here. I appreciate you so much and what you're doing. Wouldn't that make a difference?

What do you wanna be known for? If you could pick one word and say that's the word I want to be known for, what would it be? What's the one word goal of what you want to achieve in your life?
