Gifts We Have Been Given to Work With

Fear Stops Us:

1. Don’t wait for the gifts to become obvious before you start using them.
2. Don’t become so preoccupied or distracted with some substituting action that you never get to express what you were meant to do.
3. Don’t put off till tomorrow what you could have done today.
4. Don’t be trying to keep up with the Joneses.
5. Don’t let the crowd tell you otherwise than what God has called you to do. 
6. Don’t become so enrolled in all that you can’t do, that you end up doing nothing.
7. Don’t depend solely on self and leave the Holy Spirit out.
8. Don’t allow the size of the mountain to climb, leave you giving up before even starting.
9. Don’t let setbacks and criticism stop you in the race you’re running.

Faith Gives Us Confidence to Move Forward.

1. Focus on God and what God is calling you to do.
2. Remember who you are in Christ, His child.
3. Focus on the promises you have been given.
4. Keep developing the gifts you have been given.
5. Let minor successes lead you to greater successes.
6. Remember God is there with you in your endeavors.
7. Put yourself into situations where your gifts can be expressed.
8. Pray for boldness and the power of God to be with you.
9. Be content with what you have been given and move forward with that.
