SLP320 - Get Off Your ”BUT” And Make A Difference

The status quo is the greatest enemy of success and fulfillment because average is easy, and normal doesn’t require anything of you.

When we get locked into the rut called “normal”, we begin to see the world through the eyes of limited possibility. The rut becomes our routine, and we lock into a second-nature functionality that cripples our ability to dream, to engage, to explore.

I am here today to challenge everything you have come to believe as normal and to tell you to Get Off Your “BUT” and Make A Difference!

Feature Presentation:

Remember the story in the Bible where the leaders of Israel sent spies into the land of promise to do a little reconnaissance and check out the place?

12 men sent in to scope out the possibilities, the benefits, the prosperity, and the joy that awaited them (and the Giants).

Here is the part of the story that gets me – –

They come back to the leaders and give their report.

The promised land was:

• Amazing
• Over the moon
• Opportunistic
• When you plant a seed there and you expect an ordinary return, you wind up with 10X results
• WOW!

Then the “BUT” was introduced … (Numbers 13:28)

• BUT … We can’t access that (walls)
• BUT … It’s too good for us
• BUT … Giants – people standing in the way of us having it
• BUT … Compared to “THEM” we are little insects

Two of the spies (Joshua and Caleb) intervened trying to convince the people  WE CAN DO THIS!

BUT … they weren’t having it.

They settled for the wilderness while standing at the doorway of the possibility.

Here’s the worst part.

That entire generation DIED without ever realizing their dreams, destinies, purposes, or making their impact.

Why?

Because their “BUTS” got in the way.

All of us have “BUTS”.

Until you can get off your BUTS, you will never rise to the level of your design.

What are your BUTS?

• I’m not talented enough
• I don’t have the kind of resources others have
• The people in that space won’t accept me and my message
• What do I have that can help someone else
• There are too many obstacles I may have to overcome in order to make my mark
• My family doesn’t believe in me
• My pastor won’t sanction or encourage me in this
• People won’t understand

You have a difference-making message on the inside of you, and it is time to say yes to the possibilities.

• YES, there will be obstacles
• YES, you will have to grow and learn
• YES, you will face challenges and problems
• YES, it’s scary
• YES, it’s unfamiliar
• YES, it’s new

When you engage the possibilities, wonderful things happen. Get off your “BUTS”, and go make a difference in the world!
