1Corinthians 3:4-6

4Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. 5Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 6He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

I love this passage. It has helped me so many times through out my years in ministry. I am not naturally a confident or bold person so I often 2nd guess myself and I tend to get pretty insecure. (I know what a sissy, huh!) But, thats me and I hate it and I have to allow God to use me with all my insufficiencies. Since coming to Olathe Life fellowship, I have all the confidence in the world. I am confident that we will be okay, I am confident that OLF will grow and do incredible things for the Kingdom of God. I am confident that //epidemic will explode onto the scene and transform student's lives in awesome ways. I am full of faith and confidence, which is so uncharacteristic for me. But, I realize my confidence is so overwhelming because the Spirit of God is so overwhelming in what we are doing. OLF and //epidemic are doing God's work free from any restraints. No religious restraints, no tradition to consider. We are just calling on God asking for His Spirit and His direction and we are going. We are receiving vision from God and going in that direction with great confidence. Not confidence in ourselves, just in God and His Spirit.

Apply that principle in your lives and wow, what a difference it makes. It feels so good to actually be confident in what you are doing in life because you know you are doing God's will and you know God is blessing everything you do.

Seek God

In Christ,
Pastor Geoff Lundy
