“God’s hand formed and shaped me.”

Job 10:8

Intro

  • Experiences teach me to rely on God
    • 2 Corinthians 1:9 “This happened so we might learn to trust not in ourselves, but in God.”
      You’re never going to know that God is all you need until He’s all you have.
  • Experiences help to accomplish god’s purpose
    • Philippians 1:12 “Whatever has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.”
      TRUTH: SOME EXPERIENCES ON EARTH WON’T BE EXPLAINED UNTIL HEAVEN

Using your pain & Victories for God

  • Review your experience
    • Galatians 3:4 “Have you suffered so much for nothing !”
  • Do something with what you learn
    • Pain & victories are great educators
    • HARD KNOCK UNIVERSITY RULES
    • IF you flunk the test the first time you just keep taking the test until you pass it.
    • Just about the time you think you’ve graduated God makes up a new course.
    • JESUS MATURITY IS FINDING THE LESSONS EVERYDAY
  • Learn from the good and bad experiences of others
    • Warning: experiences are helpful and God does use them in your life, but they are not infallible. Experiences can be misleading. misinterpreted. Experience is not always reality.
    • “ YOUR STANDARD IS ALWAYS GOD’S WORD”
  • Use your experiences to encourage and help other people
    • 1 Thes. 5:11 “Encourage one another and help one another”

GOD MADE YOU UNIQUE
He did it so your life would matter.
Use your unique to help others. That’s called ministry.
