1) God does His best work in us at the bottom of the barrel because internally we have no choice but to trust Him.
A) God does not need human strength or effort to express Himself. He is more than capable of using us when we are not aware!
B) God uses stupid people to frustrate intelligent people (I Corinthians 1:18-31).
C) We have to accept whatever and wherever God has placed us. Trust Him to be true and every man a liar (Romans 3:1-20).

2) When you are in trouble, keep your Bible open and your heart and prayers directed at Jesus (Matthew 11:28-30).
A) God is not asking you to be perfect. Be faithful. Be committed to the process/the journey of growing and learning (Psalm 119:105).
B) God will never give up on us. We give up on Him because we allow Satan to steal our hope for the future (Isaiah 40:31, Joshua 1:7-9, II Corinthians 4:16).
C) Purpose to be content wherever God place use you (Galatians 4:4-13).

3) It is a dangerous position to think you are capable of being an oracle, and interpreter of God’s Word. Point people to scripture and allow the Holy Spirit to teach. Push your ego aside.
A) Remember you are fleshly in nature and not spiritual. It takes intentional purpose to be Godly. It is a daily step by step process and not an overnight experience. Daily commitment/alignment to scripture (Romans 12:1-2).
B) Something that appears supernatural most likely is not. Satan can duplicate the miracles of God (II Thessalonians 2:9-12, Matthew 24:4-13, II Timothy 3:1-9).
C) Satan is super gifted in appearing to be like Jesus. Just like the Anti-Christ that is to come. He is and will always be a Christ Imposter (II Corinthians 11:14, II Thessalonians 2:7-12).

Discussion Question:
With all the weight of evil pressing against the world, how do we have hope as Christians? (John 16:33, Isaiah 43:1-2, Psalm 46:1-11).
