Raising the Bar

Cindy Stewart Podcast Raising the Bar Pastor Cindy Stewart February 2, 2020 Thank you for taking the time to listen to this week's podcast. More than ever, I am convinced that God is calling us to a higher standard as we enter this new decade. A standard that requires us to raise the bar as individuals to walk together as His body in a spirit of excellence. 2 Corinthians 8:7 says, “But as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you—see that you excel in this act of grace also.” Raising the bar requires effort on our part in the natural, and partnering with God in the supernatural. In this week’s message, we will draw practical application from Judges 6-8 as we evaluate Gideon’s process of responding to God’s call to lead His people to victory from their enemies. How do we raise the bar to respond to God’s call on our life? Faith Discipline Practice Partnering with God Testing the Plan Gideon’s only perspective was his current circumstances. He knew what God could do, he just didn’t know how God would do it for him. You have probably felt the same way at some point in your life. I know I have. The bigger the challenge, the higher the bar is set. The higher the bar is set, the more impossible it can seem to reach it from where you stand. It was a process for Gideon and it is a process for us! Hold on to the truth. Exercise your faith. Walk in obedience. As you practice, raise the bar one inch at a time! - Cindy Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 8:7 Judges 6-8 For more resources like this one visit my website at: Cindy-Stewart.com Gathering Facebook https://www.facebook.com/wearethegathering/ Gathering Website www.wearethegathering.com Pastor Cindy's Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/drcindystewart/ iTunes Podcasts of Pastor Cindy https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unleashing-the-champion-within/id1229215083?mt=2 UPCOMING EVENTS Miracle/Revival Service Thursday, February 20, 7 p.m. @the Gathering with Jesus 39918 US Highway 19N Tarpon Springs, FL 34689 #positivewordsonly #mappingbodysoulspirit #ExecutiveCoach #consultant #godsdreamforyou
