Sallee's Notes

• Beth shares a brief testimony about her childhood abuse.
• Childhood abuse will trip you up.
• How could something like that happen to a child?
• Why does this happen? Why did he let it happen to you? Why?
• Beth believes in the sovereignty of God. As a father who loves me as he looked at what my purpose would be in my own generation.
• We have a purpose in our lives. 
• That is what matters. We have a purpose. 
• She has used what has happened everyday in her ministry to help her relate to people.
• It makes it easier to get down on my knees and serve someone.
• It is hard to come from my background and be full of yourself.
• God has had constant purpose in my life. 
• Listen we just have these few minutes on this planet. 
• It matters to God what our purpose is.
• After reflection, thought, and deliberation the purpose God knew would exceed the pain.
• If the purpose could not exceed the pain the answer is no.
• If it's just pain and no purpose -  that's what we get when we do not cooperate with Him. 
• If you are a child of God and you went through something difficult, God has a purpose for it.
• If you don't cooperate, you will live it out in vain.
• The Enemy thought if for evil. God thought it, deliberated  it, reflected upon it and knew He would use it for good for the saving of lives. 
• I'll take that. 

Luke 22:41-42 (

41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will (boule), but yours be done.

• Absolutely nothing is allowed to come to you and into your life through the permissive will of God. That does not have some bearing on God's purpose for you in your own generation

• What purpose is it supposed to serve? 
• We have to let him bring healing into our lives so we can live out his purpose for us. 
• People are hurting out there.
• We have problems too! We gather and pray before a conference.
• People need hope.
• Full throttle effectiveness.
• Every time I get to minister to one of you out of my background I'm serving my purpose.
• I was told early on that I would sink my ministry if I shared my story.
• I was chosen for my generation when these painful things are Praise God coming out of the closet.
• Some of us with a background of shame can stand up and brush our hair out of our eyes and serve our purpose.

Psalm of the Week - Psalm 46:10 - Week of July 21, 2014

10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

I love how John Gill explains the phrase "Be still, and know that I am God" 

"but that they should not be fearful, nor fretful and impatient, or restless and tumultuous; but be quiet and easy, resigned to the will of God, and live in an assured expectation of the appearance of divine Providence in their layout. And "know"; own and acknowledge that he is God, a sovereign Being that does whatsoever he pleases; that he is unchangeable in his nature, purposes, promises, and covenant; that he is omnipotent, able to help them and deliver them at the last extremity; that he is omniscient, knows their persons, cases, and troubles, and how and where to hide them till the storm is over; that he is the all wise God, and does all things after the counsel of his own will, and makes all things work together for good to them; and that he is faithful to his word and promise, and will not suffer them to be over pressed and bore down with troubles. Who further says for their encouragement, and is to be hearkened to in it,"

John Gill"s Exposition of the Entire Bible

Personal Prayer Application

Dear God, 

I am tired of being fearful, fretful and impatient. Help me to be still. My desire is to be quiet and calm, not restless and troubled. I want to be still. I know that you can do all things. Help me Father, to accept your will and your plans for me. For I know that you are faithful and keep your promises. 

Let me exalt you among the nations and upon the earth for as long as I shall be here. 

Thank you God for all the times that you have sheltered me from the storms in my life. For the times when I was still and calm inside while troubles swirled around me. Thank-you for all the times that you have given me the strength to endure the troubles and trials in my life. I know that you are God and that through you all things are possible. 

Amen
