Stuck On Standby!!!

I know that Pastor Clint Brown used this title for a recent sermon that I ministered in Michigan. I feel that it was a "now word" for a lot of the youth and young adults that were in attendance and I wanted to share some points with you.


I ministered out of Deut. 1:5-8; here are some key points; the children of Israel had been stuck in the wilderness for 40 years because of the negative report of 10 people. The journey should have only taken them 11 days but they were "stuck on standby" for 40 years. I feel that the church of America has been "stuck" for too long and it's time to move on. There were three things God told Moses before they were to possess their promise.
The word standby means: held near at hand & ready for use.
1.) Realize They Dwelt Here Long Enough
- You've been at the same place for too long and it's time you realize it and move on.
2.) Break Camp
- Before you can FULLY move into your destiny you have to break the thing that is "comfortable" to you and start progressing.
- We need to forget who has wronged us and ran us through the mud and move on. We have got to quit talking about the "used to" move and start talking about the "NOW" move. People aren't interested in the used to they want to know the now move.
- You can never fully get "here" until you are willing to leave "there."
3.) Go & Occupy
- The word occupy in v 8 literally means to possess the land. The word possess means to drive out other tenants. We have tenants that are "squatting" illegally on our land & it's time we go and drive them out.

Hope you enjoyed.
