Your Calling Is Still Intact
-
One of the things I’m realizing about each and every human being I speak to is that your potential is a mystery. Not to God, but to you and to all of us who are watching you, your potential is a mystery. It is a mystery that will be revealed with maturity. So, the more you decide to grow into and go forward in what God speaks to you, the more we will see what was there all along.
-
This is why it’s very important that you never limit God by speaking about your potential from the point of view of your past. Moses was a great man of God. He went on to be one of the greatest leaders the nation ever knew, but he was also a murderer. Moses had a great passion to lead God’s people, but he also had a past.

All of the people who have some funky stuff in your life right now, make some noise and praise God. He knew what I’d be caught up in. He called you up even as he saw you caught up in the things you’re walking through in your life right now. So, the truth of it is you’re here today, and you’re praising God because “I am forgiven.
-
” You are forgiven, but it is also true that you may be frustrated. Although you are forgiven of certain things, you are not free of those things yet. So, I’m forgiven, but I’m also frustrated, because although I’m forgiven completely by Christ and I know that’s done and he knows I’m his and he knows what he has called me to… He knows what he has called me to, but I don’t, so I’m frustrated because I’m forgiven, but I’m not completely free yet. So, God says, “Moses, I’m sending you to do a big work,
