Lesson applied

James 1:22
“Do what God's teaching says; when you only listen and do nothing, you are fooling yourselves.”

• Have you ever heard a sermon that just stirred you up, challenged you in the very area that you’re feeling weak in, had you up on your feet hollering “amen, say it again pastor, hallelujah hollerback?” I know I have, but I also know that there have been plenty of sermons where I get pumped up only to not do anything about it. I mean when was the last time we lived our life like Nehemiah, driven by vision? When was the last time we left believing that Gods plans for our life are good plans for hope and a future? When is the last time we acted upon the words that God has spoken to us? Ouch tough question, but here is one more, Am I doer of his word or am I just listening? The life of a christian is not of a spectator but of a play maker. So it’s time to get off the bench and DO what God is teaching us.
• If I am to do what God is teaching me, then I have to find out what he is teaching me, here are a couple sermons/lessons that I’ve been listening to or reading about that are going to be on my to do list:
o Nehemiah Project- live a life of vision
• Pray for a vision from God
• Set up a life plan (vision)
o Chase the Lion- Taking Risk
• Take a Risk
• Build faith
o DESIGN- Spiritual Gifts
• God has designed me with spiritual gifts
• Focus on 1 spiritual gift
o One Month to live- Learn humbly
• Answer the questions at the end of each chapter
• Ask myself that question daily

•Lord you teach me new lessons every day but I don’t want to just hear new lessons without learning the previous ones. I’ve always been someone who has learned by hands on experience, so let me learn these lessons by applying them to my life.
