Understand that your past does not define who you are, that your fears and insecurities can be replaced with the truth of God's Word, and that when you truly encounter God, you will discover who you are.
What you say and believe about yourself determines your destiny. But many people struggle with understanding who they are. They allow past mistakes to define them and shape their future.
If God is looking for reformers, not performers, what is a reformer?
A reformer is someone who brings about reformation. A reformer is someone who changes things. The word reform means "to shape again." Reformers are those who reshape the individuals, families, churches, cities, regions and nations over which God has given them influence.
Think about John Knox: He prayed, fought and persevered for almost 15 years until he saw Scotland set free from religious oppression.
God used John Knox to bring reformation to his nation.
Think about Martin Luther. Four hundred ninety-nine years ago, Luther forever changed the church, his city and his nation. Martin Luther reshaped so much that we are still talking about him today.
In this hour, God is looking for people who are ready to reform and not perform.
Luke 3:16 in The Passion Translation says, "John answered them all, saying, "I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, into the baptism of holiness and with raging fire."
If God baptizes you into holiness, you will completely turn away from the things of this world. One of the things that the Holy Spirit comes to set us free from is insecurity.
If there is anything that will get you to be a performer instead of a reformer, it is undealt-with insecurity in your life.
Insecurity will always make you feel like you must perform in order to impress people.
The answer for insecurity is knowing who you are in God.
Refuse to be shut up! CRY OUT!
