The Person God Will Use

The Person God Will Use
2

• In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord
  sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the
  train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it
  stood seraphim each one had six wings with two
  he covered his face, with two he covered his
  feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to
  another and said "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
  of hosts The whole earth is full of His glory!"
  Isaiah 61-3 (NKJV)

3

• And the posts of the door were shaken by the
  voice of him who cried out, and the house was
  filled with smoke. 5 So I said "Woe is me, for I
  am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips,
  And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean
  lips For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of
  hosts." Isaiah 64-5 (NKJV)

4

• Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in
  his hand a live coal which he had taken with the
  tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth
  with it, and said "Behold, this has touched your
  lips Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin
  purged." 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord,
  saying "Whom shall I send, And who will go for
  Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." Isaiah
  66-8 (NKJV)

5

• 1. If I will be the kind of person that God will
  use I must realize I have a responsibility to
  God.
• A) I must live a pure life
• We all need to do this

6

• Everyday each of us needs to open up our bible
  and say God what do you want to say to me today?
• No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do
  these things to your brethren! 9 Do you not know
  that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom
  of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators,
  nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,
  nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
  drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will
  inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Cor 68-10 (NKJV)

7

• Each of us need to ask ourselves four questions
• Is it helpful what am I involved in.
• Does it get me in its power. Anything other
  than the Holy Spirit is off limits.

8

• Will it cause others to stumble
• Is it glorifying to God
• The second responsibility I have to God
• B. Walk in humility of spirit

9

• These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are
  an abomination to Him 17 A proud look, A lying
  tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, Prov
  616-17 (NKJV)

10

• C. The third responsibility to God that I have is
  to have faith in God
• 1. Believe God will provide for me.
• And my God shall supply all your need according
  to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil 419
  (NKJV)

11

• 2. Believe that what I do for God will prosper
•  Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel
  of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of
  sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful
  2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And
  in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He shall
  be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water,
  That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose
  leaf also shall not wither And whatever he does
  shall prosper. Psalms 11-3 (NKJV)

12

• 3. Believe that God is absolutely trustworthy
• 2. If I will be the kind of person God will use I
  must realize I have a responsibility to others

13

• A. We need a servants heart
• B. We need a sensitive spirit
• Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are
  unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the
  weak, be patient with all. 1 Thess 514 (NKJV)

14

• 3. If I will be the kind of person God will use I

• And in every work that he began in the service of
  the house of God, in the law and in the
  commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all
  his heart. So he prospered. 2 Chron 3121 (NKJV)

16

• B. I must be single minded
• So why do I need to be single minded?

17

• Jesus is coming soon
• But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in
  the night, in which the heavens will pass away
  with a great noise, and the elements will melt
  with fervent heat both the earth and the works
  that are in it will be burned up 2 Peter 310
  (NKJV)

18

• Life is short so get busy
• whereas you do not know what will happen
  tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a
  vapor that appears for a little time and then
  vanishes away. James 414 (NKJV)

19

• Be filled with passion
• You therefore must endure hardship as a good
  soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one engaged in
  warfare entangles himself with the affairs of
  this life, that he may please him who enlisted
  him as a soldier. 5 And also if anyone competes
  in athletics, he is not crowned unless he
  competes according to the rules. 6 The
  hard-working farmer must be first to partake of
  the crops. 2 Tim 23-6 (NKJV)

20

22

• I must understand what success really means
