Send Me

 “Send Me”

Isaiah 6:8
How Many Of Us Pray Safe Prayers? Keep Me Safe Lord, Let Me Pay The Bills, Get Me Through This? What if we took a different approach and prayed Dangerous Prayers? Prayers that are so dangerous we couldn’t help but be changed by them! In our last week we pray “God Send Me!”

1. 3 Responses to God’s Call
   • Here I am Lord-I won’t go!
     • Matthew 19:16-22
     • The Rich Young Ruler
       • Much like the Rich Young Ruler, we seek out the Lord, have him meet us right where we are and He answers us…THEN we give the excuses why we can’t do what He’s called to. The very answer to our question!
       • Common Excuses by us all are: I’m too busy, I don’t have enough money, and I don’t have enough time!
   • Here I am Lord-Send Someone Else
     • Luke 14:15-24 (Also Moses in Exodus 3)
     • The Great Banquet
       • Many times we are invited to come in by the Lord to the great feast, but make the excuse of not being the right person! We are like the 3 who received the invitation, but rejected it.
       • Common Excuses by us all are: Send Someone else, I’m not the right person, I’m not worthy OR the call isn’t big enough for me to do!
   • Here I am Lord—SEND ME!
     • Isaiah 6:8 1 Samuel 3:4-11
     • Be open to God’s Call and Go
       • When we step into what God has for us the blessings overflow! When we see that God wants us to live a life more abundantly…then the more abundantly we get to be a part of what He is doing
2. How to Respond “SEND ME” to God’s Call
   • Luke 14:15-24
     • We literally have to be the servant and do as the Master calls us to.
       • Be in God’s Presence
       • Hear His Voice and What He’s called Us to
       • Do what He Calls Us To
     • When we do this we get to be a part of the feast and fill the table
     • When we pursue God as He has pursued us it completely changes our perspective and our capacity to be a part of His blessings when He says Go!

TakeAway:

• When was the last time you felt compelled to do something out of your norm? How did you respond? Could it have been God sending you?
• To What, Where or Who are you being sent now?
