[00:00:49] rightly dividing the word of truth, and learning how to apply it to our daily lives.

[00:00:55] You may contact Elgin at the address given at the end of the broadcast.

[00:00:59] And now, here's Elgin.

[00:01:02] Brothers and sisters, I welcome you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of

[00:01:08] the Holy Spirit to another episode of Words of Inspiration.

[00:01:14] And today, we are speaking on the topic of everything you need.

[00:01:21] Our spiritual inspiration comes from 2 Corinthians 9 verse 8, which reads,

[00:01:29] And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that ye, always having all sufficiency

[00:01:37] in all things, may abound to every good work.

[00:01:42] This verse is a powerful reminder that we do not need to wait for the right time to fulfill

[00:01:49] our purpose.

[00:01:50] God has already equipped us with everything we need to carry out his mission.

[00:01:55] So let's explore how we can embrace our divine calling and utilize the tools he has given us.

[00:02:04] One of the biggest misconceptions we often have is the belief that we need to wait for the

[00:02:10] perfect moment to start fulfilling our purpose.

[00:02:13] But 2 Corinthians 9 and 8 tells us that we already have all sufficiency in all things.

[00:02:21] In other words, God has provided us with everything we need.

[00:02:26] There is no need to wait for more resources, more knowledge, or more experience.

[00:02:32] The time to act is now.

[00:02:36] Supporting this thought, consider Ecclesiastes 11 and 4, which says,

[00:02:42] He that observeth the wind shall not sow, and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

[00:02:50] If we wait for perfect conditions, we may never take the first step.

[00:02:55] Trust that God has already made you sufficient for the task at hand.

[00:03:01] To fully harness the gifts and ability God has bestowed upon us is crucial to continually study

[00:03:09] his word.

[00:03:10] Psalm 119, 105 says,

[00:03:14] Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

[00:03:19] The Bible provides guidance, wisdom, and encouragement, lighting our way as we pursue our purpose.

[00:03:28] When we read and study the scriptures, the Holy Spirit reveals new insights and understanding.

[00:03:35] Hebrews 4 and 12 reminds us that,

[00:03:38] For the word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword,

[00:03:44] piercing even the divine asunder of soul and spirit, and the joints and marrow,

[00:03:51] and in the discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart.

[00:03:56] God's word is not only inspiring, it's transformative.

[00:04:01] It shapes our thoughts, clarifies our mission, and empowers us to act.

[00:04:07] You might feel uncertain about your purpose, but often it's the thing that constantly is on your mind.

[00:04:15] It's that nagging feeling when you see something out of line, and you sense a way to fix it.

[00:04:22] Philippians 2 and 13 says,

[00:04:25] For it is God which worketh in you, both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

[00:04:32] Your passions and convictions are not random.

[00:04:36] They're God's way of nudging you toward your purpose.

[00:04:40] As you study the word, God will continually show you things through the Holy Spirit.

[00:04:46] Proverbs 3 verses 5 through 6 encourages us,

[00:04:50] Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding.

[00:04:56] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path.

[00:05:02] Trust that God's guidance through his word will reveal your unique mission.

[00:05:08] Once you've identified your purpose, it's time to implement the vision God has given you.

[00:05:14] Joshua 1 and 9 tells us,

[00:05:17] Have I not commanded thee?

[00:05:19] Be strong and of good courage.

[00:05:22] Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed.

[00:05:26] For the Lord thy God is with thee, whithersoever thou goest.

[00:05:32] God's promise to be with us ensures us that we can move forward with confidence.

[00:05:39] As we journey on this path, it's essential to remain connected to his word.

[00:05:45] 2 Timothy 3 verses 16 through 17 explains,

[00:05:49] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and it is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,

[00:05:57] for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly

[00:06:05] furnished unto all good works.

[00:06:08] The word of God continues to equip us, correct us, and inspire us to carry out our mission effectively.

[00:06:17] Brothers and sisters, remember that you don't need to wait for the perfect time to begin fulfilling your purpose.

[00:06:24] God has already equipped you with everything you need.

[00:06:29] Continually study his word.

[00:06:32] Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you and step out in faith.

[00:06:36] Your purpose is waiting for you to embrace it.

[00:06:40] And with God's grace, you are more than sufficient for the task.

[00:06:46] I thank you for spending time with me on today, and I look forward to our time together on tomorrow.

[00:06:53] Until then, God bless.
