LORD CHANGE ME.
I read a book years ago called Lord change me by Evelyn Christianson It shared how we say Lord change this person or that person Itvreally spoke to me
As I realised that in order for others to change I had to change first
Wow think on these things says Paul
im sharing on Brokenness When something is broken it’s lost it value & maynot be worth anything
In God He loves us to be broken so He can work on us
Let me clarify this is brokenness because of sin & our own actions
Not broken hearted where circumstances beyond our control have happened loss job, accident, disability, illness, death or relational breakdown not caused by you
Psalm 50:17 1 Corinthians 4:4-6
Brokenness is a shattering of my self will & the absolute surrendering to His Will Saying YES LORD to i will do your will
See when all is gone our security We have hot rock bottom & there’s no where to turn that’s what I’m talking about
For me I lost everything My wife to infidelity my daughter wasn’t allowed to see me my friends deserted me except for a couple my job I was labouring not my thing my home I was flatting with a depressed guy my church my wife put a ADO on me Finances where low as had child support
I was a mess I was a broken man
Full of guilt & Shame It was my own fault
I had to take depression medication
Key was to repent from what done & seek restitution Which I did My wife wasn’t having a bar of it We went to counsel but in the end we couldn’t work it out We’d gone different directions
People & things need to be broken in order for God to use them
Judges 7:16-20 Joshua 6:20 Matthew 14:13-21 15:22-39
3 things needed to be broken a pitcher in order for light to get through
A wall had to come down in order for there to be victory
Bread had be broken so 5000 could partake in feeding Jesus was our Bread of life He was broken for us
In conclusion I want to use Peter was a broken man You’ll remember Jesus predicted he would deny him 3 times The amazing thing is that Jesus asked him 3 things do you love me He restored this broken sinner He wants to do that for you too John 21:15-17
1 Broken heart 2 Repentant heart 3 Restored heart
Brokenness brings Breakthrough
I know cause I’ve been there
