Minister's Institute Session 4

Here is a fragmented list of notes I took for this session.

Fear of failure and The Call

Results of our actions: Paralyzing - "If I can't guarantee success I can't risk failure."

Results on our attitudes:
1. Critical spirit
2. Domineering leadership style
3. Outburst of anger
4. Super spiritual

Successful leaders see failure as:
1. evidence of vision
2. nothing to worry about
3. my greatest teacher

Therefore pursue your wildest dreams!

"There can be no courage unless you are scared."

THE CALLING

God's people call to Him for help and God sends a person

Exodus 3:9; Jer. 1:5-8

God's vision will scare you and drive you to your knees

God uses those who are not ego driven
Revelation 3

Fear of failure: Distracts our attention

"what if He asked me to do something outrageous?"

Psalm 96

God's rule in us must create a passion for Jesus
Psalm 69:9

God's rule in our lives must create a passion for purity:
in doctrine
in daily living
in practice and integrity
in power

God's rule in our lives must create a passion for unity
