Dangerous Prayers (Part 3): Send Me - Marc Knudson

Marc wraps up the Dangerous Prayers series with a call to action for everyone to pray before God. Send me where I am to do your work. He shares the stories of Jonah, Moses, and Isaiah. Each one had a different response to God calling them to do good work.

HERE I AM, I'M NOT GOING:

Jonah was called by God, but responded by fleeing God. Long story short, Jonah spent a few days in the belly of a whale.

HERE I AM, SEND SOMEONE ELSE:

God called upon Moses to lead His people out of slavery in Egypt, but Moses was hesitant. He created excuses and listed reasons why he wasn't the right person to be sent for the job. "I'm not good enough to do that...".

HERE I AM, SEND ME:

Isaiah prayed this to God in Isaiah 6:8. He opened his heart, his life, and his actions to be used as a tool for God's good work.

In order to be in a position to fully surrender to God, you should have:

- genuine experience with the presence of God

- genuine awareness of your sinfulness

- genuine understanding of God's grace

Marc concludes the series with a reflection and call to action for each and every one of us to surrender of lives to God for His good work. If you think you can't, just know who gives you the power to do anything in the first place. God will always be with you wherever He sends you.
