What IF?
What if you took a risk?
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF…YOU BELIEVE!!!
Matthew 17:19-20 (NIV)
Over 1500 times the word IF… is used in the Bible!
IF WE TAKE A RISK… THERE IS A REWARD!
2 Corinthians 4: 17-18 (NIV)
Society engrains it in us:
Don’t take healthy risks… Be CAREFUL…
Let’s live our lives to take some risks!
2 Corinthians 4:7-9 (NIV)
Will you allow God to take the What If in your life, and make it What Is?
Things / voices that tell us WE CAN’T:
-others (stupid people say stupid things)
-our own weaknesses / struggles
-the enemy (his voice of FEAR)
Fear stands in the way of RISK.
2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)
Things that say YOU CAN!
-Caring people (talk to wives, friends, kids, family…)
-Your past victories
-Your God
YOU MAY HAVE TO TAKE SOME RISKS… But YOU CAN!!!
Wayne Gretzky once said, “You’ll always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission, said, “Unless there is an element of risk in our exploits for God, there is no need for faith.”
