Good morning, afternoon, or evening, After the fall, Adam began to explain to God how he was ashamed and afraid because he was naked. I love the way God responded: “Who told you that you were naked?” (Genesis 3:13 NIV) Obviously Adam had been influenced, informed and instructed by a voice other than the voice of God. God was perturbed about it! “You think you need to hide in shame and be afraid? Who told you that?” I wonder how many times God has the same objection when He hears the lies we believe:

Who told you that? Who told you, you weren’t capable? Who told you one little compromise wouldn't hurt? Who told you you’d never accomplish anything significant? Who told you it was too late to start over? Who told you that you couldn’t be forgiven? So many voices compete to create a lot of confusion concerning the things we believe about ourselves. Re-member, God’s voice resonates with clarity, wisdom, and vision. When Jesus asked the disciples what people were say-ing about Him, they gave a laundry list of responses. But then Jesus turned the question on them. (Matthew 16:15) “But what about you? Who do you say that I am?” (continued on page 3)

(Continued from page 1) Look at what Peter says in Matthew 16:16-17. For Jesus, what other people say never is the final word. And so the question He’s always asking us in the midst of conflicting mes-sages that we hear about God and ourselves is can you see beyond what people say? Can you look past that to what God has said? If we are going to accomplish great things for God, we’ve got to see beyond what people say. Can you see beyond what people say about God to what He has actually said about Himself? Can you see beyond what people say about your limitations to the fact that you serve a God who doesn’t have that word in His vocabulary? To the God whose capability doesn’t rise and fall with your own inability? Can you see beyond what people say? Answer carefully. Your response to that ques-tion will determine the entire trajectory of your life! Love ya Pastor Randy
