BOLD Women's Conference 2015 Notes

John 10:10 Jesus said I came so that you may have life and have it abundantly...overflowing 

Decaf coffee starts with the same bean but is stripped away through over washing

In our lives, we experience over washing and are stripped of our boldness

What does God want to say to me tonight

LIVE BOLD 

Take that which I have given you and receive it every day

We settle for a lot of short comings that God has for our lives

If we just step over the dune, we will see beauty 

Boldly go where no one has yet to go

You're not alone

Matthew 28:18-20

Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them, teach them to obey...surely I am with you always 

Where is God asking you to go?

It's not about what YOU want. It's what God wants

Go where God desires

The more we desire Jesus, his desires become our desires

Boldness starts right where you are

Go where you are right now

Where is your place and God is asking you to be bold

Jesus wants us to be bold right wher we are

We live in a crazy world

It's not always easy to be bold

The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy 

But Jesus came so we may have life

Devil wants to kill your joy and enthusiasm 

Devil can't take what Jesus has poured in but he can get us off course

Like a quilt God takes all the craziness of our lives and does something beautiful

Th experiences, the people aren't beautiful 

It's the collection and completion that makes it all come together 

Acts 1:8

God was going to give a comforter, a counselor, a Holy Spirit so they wouldn't be alone

Th  church is a collect of self centered sinners who have been brought together to share the love and transformation of Jesus in our lives

God uses unlikely people to be bold in this world

Tell others about Christ should be our number 1 priority 

It's not about popularity it's about Jesus in our lives and sharing that with other people

Jesus said go

Acts 4:13

God took ordinary men and used them for Jesus

The defining moment of us all is when Jesus asks who he is to you

We are all sinners in need of a savior

We can't go boldly forth solo

God uses unlikely circumstances for his perfect will to tell others about Jesus

It's not about having other people looking at you and seeing perfection

Why does God allow bad things happen to good people

In exodus our God identifies with suffering so much so that Jesus died for us

God wants a relationship with us at any cost 

Look past the trial and look on to the purpose 

It's ok to ask God why but quickly ask what now 

II Corinthians 12:9 my grace is sufficient for my power is made perfect in your weakness 

For when I am weak, I am strong

Depression- the shame, lack of faith disease

If God can take a murderer like Paul and use him, he can take a depressed hormonal woman like me

Pain brings power and pursuit

To keep me from being conceited, I had a thorn in my side... 2 Corinthians 12:7

Pain brings us a platform. Misery becomes ministry

What are you dealing with right now?

Declaring that you are pursuing gods help

Let God be your strength and power 

God takes unlikely people in unlikely circumstances to do great things for his kingdom

Her love relationship isn't with any man but with God

Let God use all the different pieces of our life to serve him

No matter what we're doing in this life, no matter how 

Make gods presence shine through in every circumstance
