“Is There Not a Cause”

I Samuel 17 Titus 1:5 Acts 28 Acts 16 Job 13:18 Psalm 9:4

• Goliath had the children of Israel paralyzed - They were afraid of Goliath

• Therefore, they were not doing anything or winning anyone for God’s kingdom

• Satan had them bound because of the “wolf ticket” he was selling them

• He was doing all he could to keep them from going ahead

• The enemy wants to put you in a box – He wants to restrict you – Limit you

• Hold you back from your potential – From being able to be the man or woman that God wants you to be

• Until we learn to get on God’s program – His plans – Do it His way

• We will never be able to move past the shackles of our past

• The restrictions, limitations, or the things that hold us back from obeying God

• We will never be able to experience the greatness of God in our life

• Satan knows that if he can keep you bound with fears and intimidations – He will always keep you under his foot

• Somewhere, we have to be able to start running with cause

• When we get cause in our lives – We will start causing God to show up in our lives in a greater area – Cause causes God to show up

• That is why the devil fights you from getting cause in your life

• He does not want you to have a purpose – A reason why you are here

• God did not just save us for ourselves – He saved us for everybody else out there

• Many people who say they are Christians – Are no threat to the kingdom of darkness

• Many Christians go to church just for the sake of going to church

• It is not just about going to church

• If you are going to church and you are not helping to build God’s kingdom - You are not in the will of God

• You need God to show up on your behalf – You want God to bless your life

• Why should God show up on your behalf when you are doing nothing for Him?

• He gave everything for you and you are doing nothing for Him

• You are not building His kingdom

• Not being a witness – Not discipline anybody – Not making a positive difference in other people’s lives

• Whenever you start running with cause, somebody will try to make it appear as if there is something wrong with you

• If you make up your mind that you are going to run with cause, you are going to do everything to please God

• The devil is going to send somebody into your life to try to snatch the cause from your life – Is there not a cause?

• For this cause, each of you have been brought into Calvary Christian Center

• None of you are here by accident – God has you here for a cause

• God did not bring you here under a Man of God that has a cause without you having a cause - God has you here for a cause - Run with cause

• God wants to use you beyond where you have ever been used before – God wants to bless you beyond where you have ever been blessed before

• Cause: That which produces results – To motivate – To bring about – To make it happen – Cause is a good work - Cause brings honor to God

• If there’s going to be a difference, it will happen when you pick up God’s cause
