Summary: Are you gonna respond like Barbie or G I Joe

This week Interview with Deputy Chief Warren Riley

He is positive God has placed HIM THERE–

Todd Beamer---

God will leave his children in Chaos to bring order

God doesn’t cause the Chaos—

He will leave his kids in it to bring order

So many Christians are in Chaos-

WAITING FOR GOD TO DELIVER THEM

We’re there so WE CAN BE DELIVERERS

Going through times of Growth HURTS—Working Out—Carry a can of Slimfast can make you skinny---

YOU GOTTA DRINK IT!!!

Look back—see when you grew –

Easy Times –or– in the middle of CHAOS

IN CREATION-----GOD BROUGHT ORDER

Growing Hurts—

Don’t give up too soon–Christians are wimps........

But when we stay in the fight–

SOMETIMES WE’RE THE DELIVERER

Set up- Ester Queen, Kneeling, mad, genecide, King approves, Mord. sad

Ester 4:9-16

Accidentally switching voicebox of GI JOE—BARBIE

Sometimes want Joe–get a barbie----vice versa

Ester was beautiful & exquisite—naturally—

No extreme make over-- She was hot from the Lord

Mordecai tells her— not here because of looks, hotness, look good on his arm

MAYBE YOU ARE HERE TO BE THE DELIVERER

She says I might die-

Or- I may be BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

So how can we find out what we we’re born for—I cant tell You

I can help you hear God

4 ways to find out what you were born for

1. Accept Your Situation- James 1:2-3

Quit looking for a way out—God is not a magician

He’s real- he doesn’t use magic to fix a problem—

He uses himself---

WHICH MEANS—He’s going to use the CHURCH

Today’s church has an escape mentality–

Hold a meeting on the RAPTURE—Fill it up

Hold one on standing strong- Facing Chaos—

Not a building small enough-- to hold em

The time I’ve grown the most–

was when I stayed in the middle of CHAOS

God help use me for–direction, peace, guidance, deliverance

Which will you do----Suck it up----Back it up

There are times when we need to bail—

Many times we need to be D.C. RILEY

God has place me here to save New Orleans

2. Ignore Your strengths– 1 Cor 1:26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.”

I’m not saying God won’t use what you’re good at–

I’m saying don’t rely that—

That’s going to be your mealticket

Ester was just a hottie, who slept with the KING

GOD MADE HER —A DELIVERER

Sometimes your strengths—are the things keeping you from your destiny

Moses and David- GREAT SHEPHERDS

Peter and JAMES- GREAT FISHERMAN

MATTHEW- GOOD WITH MONEY

Paul - Good CHRISTIAN KILLER

GOD will take our weakness and confound the wise with it

3. Prepare Yourself- Ester 4:15-16

Make up your mind to be a world Changer—

That’s what Jesus was

“well if it happens, it happens” “God’ll let me know”---

ARE YOU READY—Waiting for prosperity, healing—

Are you ready for it

Good stewards of what you’ve got----

Can you give up handicap sticker

If we’re going to realize what we’re born for----Let’s prepare ourselves

It’s like --- 2 a days or parenthood—

You’ll never be 100% ready—

4. Move in faith- VS 17-

Doesn’t mean- walk around with a death wish

Hey I’m trusting God –to get me through this—

If I’m born for it—I gotta be willing to die for it

If terrorist took over America tomm.–

They’re coming after preachers—

I want to be a threat to cults, religion, false teachers, pharisees

They might kill me—But maybe I’m here to change them

Take a look at your situation---

Don’t back down... maybe you were born for such a time as this
