TEAM 180:

Have you ever wanted to replay in your mind something over and over again hoping for a different outcome?

Our minds have a way of reminding us of all our mistakes over and over again don't they?

180 SECRET - CAN YOU REPLAY THE OUTCOME?

Why did I do that? Why did I say that? Can I go back and change what I did for a different outcome?

If I only coulda woulda shoulda...

Why didn't I say I'm sorry?
Why didn't I prepare?

Paul had these thoughts at different times in his Life. These thoughts can send us Spinning and Reeling out of control.

Sometimes Replaying the scenes over and over again trying to change the impossible causes Mental Stress which causes Pain and Depression.

180 SECRET - CAN YOU REPLAY THE OUTCOME?

When Paul was in front of Caesar he said to himself:

"When no one showed up to help me the Lord showed up and stood beside me."

"The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, "Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome." Acts 23:11

When Paul noticed that young Timothy was Replaying his mistakes over and over he Encourage him with Acts 23:11.

People were questioning Timothy's Leadership because he was young. Paul told Timothy not to despise his youth and to be Confident. Sometimes it gets lonely in Leadership whether you're Leading a group or yourself.

In the book of Jeremiah, Jeremiah also had these Depressing thoughts. Most if not all of the Great Prophets and Leaders in the Bible were very Depressed, Lonely, Afraid, Empty, Guilt Ridden, Suicidal etc...

In today's society they would have been diagnosed with Severe Clinical Depression. In fact, Jeremiah wrote the Book of Lamentations is a book about God's sorrow for us when we continue to rely on everything other than Him.

One Time Jeremiah said this:

"Everyone is against me so I'm going to shut up.... but I couldn't shut up because The Word of God burned within me."

Friends, God uses our Weakness so He can be the Strength of our Lives.

Look at the Contrast in Jeremiah's Thoughts. He goes from Quitting to Executing.

What was the Key to Jeremiah's Transformation?

It was the Power of the Holy Spirit giving Him a Purpose and a Plan for his Journey and Pilgrimage on Earth.

180 SECRET: God wants to do the same Transformation with us through His Holy Spirit in our lives.

Remember, we Serve a God that wants to Lift us Up! The Bible says when we Humble ourselves He Lifts us Up and Gives us Grace!
When Paul was Depressed Jesus didn't say, "I told you Paul! "He said, "hey bro be of good cheer! I need you to go to Rome!" I need you to get back in the Game!
