You Can Change Things!

Every new year brings new changes, but did you know that YOU can cause change in things around you? Read about Jonathan and his Armor-Bearer in 1 Samuel 14 - they made an entire army panic by their willingness to follow God and change things!

How can we possibly change things?

1. Be willing to be SEEN

- Jonathan stepped out into the open to be seen.

- This requires us to put action to our faith - James 2:17 (NIV) — "…faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

- If you stand for nothing, you will fall for everything!

- Be bold! Boldness makes even the smallest dangerous

2. Follow-through when He follows-through!

- Jonathan and his armor-bearer didn't wait once God confirmed their next move. They ran right into action!

- When God follows through and cracks the door to what you have been believing for - FOLLOW-THROUGH.

- Don't hesitate. Be INSTANTLY obedient! Partial obedience is still disobedience.

- When you get a confirmation of what you’ve been asking God for, that’s not a moment to hesitate! No prayer is need! Act on what God is doing!

3. Lean on your ALLIES

- Jonathan and his armor-bearer had each other. They didn’t go it alone. They had each other -they needed each other!

- We need people in our lives to support us and we need to support them. The armor-bearer didn’t see it - Jonathan did, but he was with Jonathan — ”Go ahead. Do what you think best. I’m with you all the way.”

- HUBs are your COMRADES.
