Yesterday with Andy and Craig (part.three)
Here are some thoughts from Craig Groeschel’s second talk on Personal Spiritual Momentum.
Craig shared this phenominal quote from Hybels that wrecked his life years ago,
The way I was doing the work of God was destroying the work of God in me. – Bill Hybels
Craig asked the question :: What can I do TODAY to create a heart open to God that allows me to live with Sustained Spiritual Momentum?
1) I will do Today, what I CAN do to enable me to do Tomorrow what I can’t do Today
:: Do something to defeat your darkside (what is your darkside?)
2) Create ARTIFICIAL ministry deadlines
:: Prioritize your Ministries around YOUR Priorities
3) Delegate what someone else can do
:: Don’t delegate responsibilities. Delegate AUTHORITY
- Delegating Responsibilities creates followers and dependency // Delegating AUTHORITY creates Leaders
4) Do something that only YOU can do
:: I’m the only one who can take time off and Sabbath
:: I’m the only one who can be a Husband to Jeanne and Father to our Kids
:: I’m the only one who can GET Broken and STAY broken
I definitely resonate with the idea of doing what ONLY I can do. No one else is going to tell me to stop. No one else is going to tell me to go home. No one else is going to tell me to put my family first. Only I can do that.
Your Turn :: Which of these is most challenging for your Spiritual Momentum?
