Our spiritual gas tank may be full, but is it full of ourselves. We tend to not want to give up everything and give the Spirit of God room to work in us because that would require giving up something instead of just receiving something. We have no problem giving Him a small amount of room dedicated to Sundays, but why would we want that to still into our entire life everyday in everything we do? Right or no? Don't just check your tank gauge, but evaluate what's truly filling that tank.. John 14:26-27 #misfit4christ #misfitforchrist #garagechurch https://www.instagram.com/p/BmqRcnll0_U/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t1ibshb4kqi3

Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything, every circumstance and situation, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your requests known to God. And the peace of God, that peace which reassures the heart, that peace which transcends all understanding, that peace which stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus, is yours. (Philippians 4:6-7) #misfit4christ #misfitforchrist https://www.instagram.com/p/BmiUIJfFBNQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nw9vj16swbyr

Ships don't sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don't allow what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down causing you to drown. #misfit4christ #misfitforchrist #garagechurch https://www.instagram.com/p/BmiT49PlA4a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v3i4j3bn9mcc

You have a purpose. God doesn't care about your past, status, abilities, attributes, education, achievements, failures, etc. He evaluates your heart and your willingness. He seeks the available and empowers them to be the able. He uses the broken to shine his light through them. He has a purpose for every single person. He uses your specific person to reach others and to fulfill His will. Your past situations, struggles, addictions, temptations, and trials you go through may not seem clear at the time but sometimes are necessary to prepare you for the life ahead, so that you are better equipped with God's strength and to fulfill your calling in this life. #misfit4christ #misfitforchrist #garagechurch

Something to remember when you are going through a rough time, worrying or stressing, or afraid things aren't going to work out. Fear is what we feel during these times, but it's not from God. Fear is a liar just as the devil is. Know that God empowered us with His power to overcome fear, His love to comfort others, and a clear self-controlled mind. #misfit4christ #misfitforchrist #garagechurch

We are like glowsticks. We must first be broken, before we can shine. Just as a glowstick, we don't realize our potential and our purpose, until we have been broken. God uses the broken to show his grace, mercy, and love. The more broken the vessel, the more light shines through. 2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. #misfit4christ #misfitforchrist #garagechurch

Bitterness is a byproduct of unforgivness. If you feel like you think you have truly forgiven someone, when you're reminds of what they did to you, what is the immediate emotion you feel? Is it anger, is it resentment, is it hatred? Do you feel like it is still present and hold it over their head or do you feel at peace and feel it's truly in the past and you have moved on? Realize you are hurting yourself more than you are hurting them.. Ephesians 4:31-32 #misfit4christ #misfitforchrist #garagechurch

God doesn't use the qualified, he uses the broken, flawed, imperfect...the available. He empowers them to do great things regardless of what they have done. God forgave them even when they did nothing to deserve it. He has forgiven you and is ready to use you to do great things too. Are you ready to forgive yourself and allow Him to work? #misfit4christ #misfitforchrist
