All of this later in the program but now let's get started with today's teaching here is Alan Wright like he is poison imaginable. You think you should just run from his power, but I show you a greater power and is going to be marvelous because it's going to surprise everyone. That's what I think going on. Think ordinary see God has a habit of crooning those who wrong for the job but exactly right for the job, you can just go to the holy Bible is the story over and over and honestly God's trying to get this across to us. A man named Abram the qualities a man of whom we know nothing of his history and we really basically know this, that the mark of his life, along with his wife Sarah is very old and they never had any children and so their way beyond any possibility of rearing children and God kicks him out to be the father of the nation's on the one hand, he is the least likely person on the face of the earth to be the one who become known as the father of the people of God and yet we realize is a perfect person because not only had they had a lifetime of longing for a child, but they would be the ones who would believe God, and they would be one who, when they had a child it would be evident.

It was a child born not in the ordinary way, but by the promise of God.

Man named David who was so unlikely to be the next King that when Samuel the prophet came and said the Lord is shown me that one of Jesse's signs is going to be the new King Jesse says let me see your signs because the Lord show me Jesse doesn't even bring David out of the field is just too young and he's a shepherd anything no one would consider.

They didn't look like a king. They didn't think any bring them and say was it was none of these that do not have any other signs that a bring David out.

David look like he was exactly the wrong one to be king in the same way like he was exactly the wrong one to fight Goliath. Goliath was a huge Philistine, probably 7 feet tall. Lots of the Scripture how heavy and huge. His armor was his shield spear that he carried in the Israeli soldiers would not find him, they been challenged to a one-on-one fight with Goliath and no one would do it clean including King Saul. When David came and brought some food to his brothers in the battle line. He said who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should talk the Army of the living God that I'll find Saul's armor on the way this armor.

I'm not used to this. This is a feel-good use in looking at is going to stay in the future of Israel on whether David this scrawny young Shepherd can go out here and defeat this huge giant of a lawyer looks like exactly the wrong person. Interestingly, Mac Malcolm Gladwell has written assignment: David and Goliath when she talks about this from more of a historical point of view, and what historians of war have to say about this scene and I know God was involved in something supernatural anointing David because about a block the Lord and so that's we trust all that but just historians of war have said what actually happened here was that David surprise Goliath with a whole different type of battle. There were three types of lawyers in ancient times there were the infantrymen want to put on armor walked on foot and fought hand-to-hand.

That's what Goliath was expecting to have happen when David and there are also Calvary. Those that rode horses and they could move fast and and fight battles.

But there's 1/3 category were the projectile warriors. They were the archers and the slingers and the archers and the slingers they had a unique place in ancient warfare. What was it was one of those things where between Calvary and infantrymen in archers and slingers was kind of like rock paper scissors. You know what could be the other know to be the other, but they couldn't all anybody Goliath thought he was going to have a battle with David. It was on the infantry infantry style foot to foot hand-to-hand but David was never going to fight that way that's laid up with armor on site to go fight him like that. David knew what he was good at and I was what he been practicing for years as a shepherd us Lane was along with ropes and a leather pouch at the end and they would put an end with wider and wider concentric circles of slinging around when they let go of one side of the rope and let it swing. They said that in ancient times you have some real accuracy and real force, even up to 200 yards away there ancient pictures of of slingers hitting the birds midflight and, in fact, one scholar said really, really skilled slingers can send a stone about 35 km a second word, when David went to battle. He killed Goliath within a second is interesting story because David was running towards Goliath. Goliath's got all this huge armor on his clunky and he's big and he can't move fast. He was a sitting dock. David broke the rules and you just know what it was no rule that said you can't go rock at him. So that's what David did. That's more teaching moment from today's important series to be accepted perfectly free to be yourself with no fear of injection rolled her eyes make fun of you and what he lacks. No more anxious feeling that you feel like the pressure is always on right here in longing for life with no show before sin came into the world. The Bible tells us in this relationship, know something ever since the fall of the human heart has been riddled with camping trip except some condescend. I try to be perfect in order to meet since I'm not a measure at them as well. Right now the road ahead is pleasing pricing and there is only one the grace of God in Jesus Christ.

We are happy to send this to you as I thanks from Alan Wright Ministries, 877-544-4860 877-544-4861 come to our website past Rowan.work. Today's teaching now continues once again is like a small, but I have killed lions and bears try to come after my shave I have protected sheet for a long time and they're harder to hit than this guy is Bill giant of a target out there that he ran to the battle zone and there in the first one he does mail them right and killed the giant. So in other words, David look like he was exactly the wrong person for it. But he was exactly the right person. Moses look like exactly the wrong person for this job because he was a man on the one hand, you could say of no people. He was in exile. He was no longer an Egyptian royalty was amongst the Hebrews who, like Moses, but the fact of the matter is that because he was raised in the Egyptian court. He had an entryway. It it was it was like he could just walk back in though he was hated and despised and was considered a fugitive.

He knew all the people is like Pharaoh's son was his brother and he went right into new at an entryway to speak to Pharaoh when no one else would.

And yet he was there as a Hebrew, so he was a Hebrew Egyptian. All of this is pointing to the most unlikely hero in the history of the world know what is expected that the King of Kings would be born as a baby in Bethlehem to a peasant mother or grow a son of a carpenter and a little rural town called Nazareth, he was Jesus was considered a rabbi, but it sure would like any of the other teachers.

He was he was hated by the religious aristocracy love by the centers and it was a religious leader. This it makes sense to anybody but ultimately made Jesus. Of course perfect for your salvation in mind is that he was the new Moses. Moses was uniquely positioned to be a mediator because he was both Egyptian and Hebrew, Jesus was both God and man and we have been saved through one mediator, Jesus Christ.

He is our true Moses seen as a God, God looks at your life and he sees what you think might be useless and says what is that your hanging policy was stack cigarette we can use that you look at your life and you say this way is the wrong one for this guy like this in your exactly the right one thing is that you used to disqualify yourself might be the very things of God say that's what I see is qualifying Paul put it this way. Second Corinthians chapter 12 verse seven.

Keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness revelation was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me everywhere Paul went evidently is this demonic persecution is based on this spiritual battle. He wished he didn't have to do it three times and play with the Lord about this.

It should leave me the Lord said to me, my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses of the power of Christ may rest upon me. He just learned his brilliant, brilliant man, Saul of Tarsus, who was on the one hand, the least likely candidate to become the writer of most of the New Testament and the proclaimer of grace because he was a Pharisee, a legalist who hated and persecuted Christians what you realize in his ministry as God had taken his grace imported into Paul's life in such a way that really was. Not all of his superior intelligence that was reaching people for Christ although it gave them entryway to Greek philosophers and other times of his ministry was all it is hereby education when he realizes his weaknesses in my life.

God is using these things that I never would have expected. No words God has taken the least likely most imperfect and made a perfect candidate for the job while story after story is my story, but if you think about that your story the lady name Hilda and Alabama who I came to know because Pastor Bobby Hill and his church letter Bible study in the local prison women's prison using a resource I read shame off you and the local sheriff said that he was delighted for them to continue doing the Bible study because it was helping people so much. It was fine that even though was Christian material and held who I later learned of her testimony had grown up in an abusive alcoholic home and lived with an abusive alcoholic grandfather and she had become violent and she was a repeat offender and by her own words. She was the meanest woman incarcerated in that facility regularly fighting the learned beat up women if they disagree always had a scowl on her face.

She had some exposure to Christianity, but it was more about harsh varieties and never meant anything to her, she stayed away from all that in this group came and another shame off your group and they kept inviting Hilda the common citizen on and finally she said she came in she sat around the outside is start listening in this little church group had so much love. She said there was something that began to attract her and then she started sitting with the group and she said that after his or her word she wrote down after group one night and on a chapter called for the want of a mom or dad. It happened she said. I spent all my crime, I decided I would try talking to God. I like to say that I prayed a loving, tender, heartfelt prayer, but I didn't. I was mad and it didn't matter God for quite some time. I told him I didn't know if he was for me or not I was sick of him messing with me if you wanted a relationship with me. It had to be different than in the past, but if I can have with those people leave the Bible study had that I was willing to try. If not I wanted him to leave me alone. She said she woke up the next morning and a lady looked at her and said what is changed.

She said what she said your smiling and never seen her smile and she said I looked in the mirror and realize I looked different. Hilda came to faith in Christ and see not only started participating in that shame off you group but she became a leader of the future groups that would meet for years and that facility. She is probably the best leader of that shame off material we ever had. She was such a delightful help in every way that they started letting her have work release and that she experienced much favor with local authorities where she worked, and one December with speaking in Shockoe Springs conference center until they get Alabama and the sheriff said that he would allow her to come for the weekend and to meet me and we met and became friends and she and I church Leading for years groups there. Listen to what she wrote later in reflection on this God's grace brought me to the jail God's grace gave me favor with officers favor with the secretary to shift sheriff's office. Allow me to go to work release God's grace kept me in work release God's grace brought me in a church group to do shame off you. God's grace. Let me claim the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross for my sins. God's grace brought me a whole church full of his divine intervention to help me really know my Lord and Savior and eight months later was God's grace to Me at work release after receiving a 21 year sentence was God's grace brought the family back one by one my brother, nephew, niece, sister, my daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter. The following year they close down the female work release everybody but me had to stop or they went to prison. God's grace kept me again and I was Milt moved to the jail side with other ladies in jail except they let me keep going to church.

So now I have the honor of sharing the love of God to group broken, hurting ladies and I can say look I was there. I know, but also that he can fix you better than you were ever broken is really my privilege to take shame off you to those ladies tell them all the wondrous things he's done in my life and how it started. Some of them already knew the old me. You can imagine the shock when I walked in their new creature in Christ.

Sit there and watch them watch me.

They were sure is a fake around trying to get out but just like that with the church group. If you put the love of Jesus in a room full of pain and heartache is like a moth to a flame. No matter what they thought they knew about me. They couldn't deny that there was something drawing them to me. We got a letter a few years ago from her.

She been released. She was free and she disrobed she said I just want to know is for freedom that Christ set us free, but then she said PS he set me free long before I was free.

God takes what seems like the worst candidate for the job for you the perfect candidate.

I don't think that missions is just this thing we do like we go across the world. We do mission I think is instead much more like your hand today right here right now I can use that is the simple blessings that we speak to a neighbor and smallest act of kindness is just being used by God right where you are and if you're like me, or Moses, or any other human being is ever live there probably will be a part of me that says my God turn your attention as well.

Let's not talk about that question.

Let's talk about the question, who is the Lord Almighty is one who can take a staff turn into a snake back into a staff that maybe one day I have held up so the Red Sea can part just whenever you have whoever you are, know this is more than enough for Almighty God to use the change the world gospel Helen Wright in our teaching no more worries.
