Speaker 1: Pastor Rick Warren often says you were made by God
Speaker 1: and for God, and until you understand that, life will
Speaker 1: never make sense. Welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. Today.
Speaker 1: In our series called God's Vision for the Rest of
Speaker 1: your Life, Rick continues in his effort to help you
Speaker 1: discover the unique purpose and vision that the Lord has
Speaker 1: for your life. Now, before we get started, we want
Speaker 1: to let you know that a very generous friend has
Speaker 1: given one hundred thousand dollars matching grant to Daily Hope.
Speaker 1: That means that all this month, every dollar you give
Speaker 1: to help Daily Hope share the hope of Jesus around
Speaker 1: the world will be matched up to one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: You can find out more by going to Pastorick dot
Speaker 1: com or by texting the word daily to eight hundred
Speaker 1: six hundred five thousand and four. That's Pastorick dot com,
Speaker 1: or the word daily to a hundred six hundred five
Speaker 1: thousand and four. Right now, here's Pastor Rick Warren with
Speaker 1: part one of a message called how to Get Ready
Speaker 1: to be Used by God.
Speaker 2: Now we've been talking about how God has a purpose
Speaker 2: for your life, a plan for your life, a mission
Speaker 2: for your life, and the greatest adventure of life is
Speaker 2: to be used by God. Nothing else compares to that.
Speaker 2: Nothing comes close to the feeling of being used by God.
Speaker 2: And if you've never had that feeling of being used
Speaker 2: by God, I really feel sad for you. Because God
Speaker 2: wants to use you. And the Bible says God is
Speaker 2: looking for people to use. But there is a qualification.
Speaker 2: God says you must be usable. The Bible says this
Speaker 2: in Romans six thirteen. Let's read it aloud together, give
Speaker 2: yourselves completely to God so you can be tools in
Speaker 2: the hands of God to be used for his good purposes.
Speaker 2: God wants to use you for his good purposes. And
Speaker 2: the big question now is now, what what do I do?
Speaker 2: What are my next steps? Well, today we're going to
Speaker 2: look at those next steps. What you do once you've
Speaker 2: surrendered your life to say, God, whatever it takes, I
Speaker 2: want you to use my life. Because God says there
Speaker 2: are five things he looks for in your life. If
Speaker 2: you're going to have the blessing and the power and
Speaker 2: be usable by God, let's get right into him. Step one.
Speaker 2: The first step if I want to be used by
Speaker 2: God is to purify my heart. Purify my heart because
Speaker 2: God uses people with a pure heart, not a perfect person,
Speaker 2: but a pure person. And the Bible says on two
Speaker 2: Timothy two twenty one, if you keep yourself pure, you'll
Speaker 2: be a utensil. That's a tool that God can use
Speaker 2: for his purpose. If you keep yourself pure, your life
Speaker 2: will be clean, and you will be ready for the
Speaker 2: Master to use you for every good work. Now, God
Speaker 2: uses all kinds of people. He uses shy people, he
Speaker 2: uses outgoing people, he uses really smart people, and he
Speaker 2: uses people who aren't so smart. He uses all different races,
Speaker 2: all different ages, all different stages of life, all different backgrounds.
Speaker 2: He uses men and women. God wants to use you.
Speaker 2: And God will use plane vessels, and he'll use ornate vessels,
Speaker 2: and he'll use big vessels, and he'll use small vessels.
Speaker 2: But there's one thing God will not use. He will
Speaker 2: not use a dirty vessel. We have to be clean
Speaker 2: on the inside. That's why Joshua when he was telling
Speaker 2: the people to get ready to go into the Promised Land,
Speaker 2: for forty years, they'd been waiting an entire nation, and
Speaker 2: the next day they're going to cross over the Jordan
Speaker 2: River and go into the Promised Land. They're going into
Speaker 2: the next stage of their vision, and Joshua says this.
Speaker 2: In the next verse, verse five Joshua three. Joshua told
Speaker 2: the people, purify yourselves. Now this is something you do
Speaker 2: to yourself, for tomorrow the Lord will do great one
Speaker 2: among you. God is going to do great things to
Speaker 2: this church. There's not a doubt in my mind. In
Speaker 2: the years ahead, we're on a new level, wor on
Speaker 2: a new plane. But the starting point is we must
Speaker 2: purify ourselves. How do you do that, Well, you do
Speaker 2: it through a real simple word, confession. Confession. Augustine said,
Speaker 2: the confession of bad works is the beginning of good works.
Speaker 2: And the Bible says this. Let's read first John one nine. Together.
Speaker 2: If we confess our sins to God, he will keep
Speaker 2: this promise and do right. He will forgive us our
Speaker 2: sins and purify us from all our wrongdoings. God says,
Speaker 2: here's your part, you confess, and my part is all purify.
Speaker 2: Now what does it mean to confess, Well, the word
Speaker 2: in Greek literally is the word homo. Oh, that's what
Speaker 2: confessed means in Greek, and confess homo means same like
Speaker 2: homogenized milk, the same and logeo means to speak, and
Speaker 2: so homologo literally means to speak the same about my
Speaker 2: sin that God does. Means I just agree with God.
Speaker 2: You're right. It wasn't a faux pas. It wasn't a mistake.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a peccadillo. It was a sin. Is call
Speaker 2: it for what it is. It was wrong. Now, it
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you're bargain with God. I'll never do it again.
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean you you bribe God. I promise to
Speaker 2: read my Bible every day if you'll forgive me. No,
Speaker 2: you just admit it, he said. All I got to
Speaker 2: do is admit it and God will forgive it. That's
Speaker 2: what he says. That's called grace. And so I admit
Speaker 2: it to God, and I say, God, what do you
Speaker 2: want me to confess? Here? Here's what I would suggest
Speaker 2: you do if you really want to be used by
Speaker 2: God this next week, take a day off. Here's your
Speaker 2: action step. Take an hour in a day or sometime
Speaker 2: in the next couple of days, and sit down with
Speaker 2: a yellow pad and say, God, just be quiet. God,
Speaker 2: show me what's between me and you, what's piled up
Speaker 2: in my life, what's wrong in my life? Just show me,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna write it down and I'm gonna admit it.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna confess to you. And you wait and
Speaker 2: you just say, God tell me, and you write something down.
Speaker 2: He gives you another idea. You write that down. First
Speaker 2: time I did it, I thought I was gonna write
Speaker 2: a book, The Purpose Driven Sinner. It was about nine
Speaker 2: pages long the first time I ever did this. Now
Speaker 2: I've done this many many times since. But the idea
Speaker 2: is you make a list and then you can write
Speaker 2: first John one nine all over it and say, God,
Speaker 2: I admit it to you. These are wrong. I don't
Speaker 2: want them in my life. And God says, I forgive,
Speaker 2: and I forget. So you ask God to cleanse your life.
Speaker 2: Who have I hurt? That's guilt. Who's hurt me? That's resentment?
Speaker 2: What am I worrying about? That's a lack of faith?
Speaker 2: Just things like that. Who have I been jealous of?
Speaker 3: You?
Speaker 2: Just cleanse your life. That's the starting point. I must
Speaker 2: purify my heart. Now here's the second one. This one's
Speaker 2: even a little bit more difficult. I need to sanctify
Speaker 2: my body.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening to Pastor Rick's Daily

Speaker 1: You're listening to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope once again. Here's
Speaker 1: Pastor Rick Warren.
Speaker 2: So you ask God to cleanse your life. Who have
Speaker 2: I hurt? That's guilt? Who's hurt me? That's resentment? What
Speaker 2: am I worrying about. That's a lack of faith, just
Speaker 2: things like that. Who have I been jealous of? You
Speaker 2: need to cleanse your life. That's the starting point. I
Speaker 2: must purify my heart. Now here's the second one. This
Speaker 2: one's even a little bit more difficult. I need to
Speaker 2: sanctify my body. Sanctify my body. Now, what in the
Speaker 2: world does that mean. Well, sanctification is just a big,
Speaker 2: fancy theological word that means to dedicate something for God's purpose.
Speaker 2: You can sanctify anything. You could say, God, I sanctify
Speaker 2: this car. I dedicate it to you for your purposes. God,
Speaker 2: I sanctify this home. I dedicate it to you for
Speaker 2: your purposes. You can sanctify anything. It's whatever you give
Speaker 2: to God and say, God, you use it for your purposes.
Speaker 2: That's what it means. Now, God says, there's something I
Speaker 2: want you specifically to dedicate to me. It is your body.
Speaker 2: It is your body. Notice what the Bible says. Don't
Speaker 2: you know that your body is the temple of the
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit who lives in you and was given to
Speaker 2: you by God. You do not belong to yourself, for
Speaker 2: God bought you with a high price. So you must
Speaker 2: read it with me. Honor God with your body. Now,
Speaker 2: how do you do that? How do you honor God
Speaker 2: with your body? Well, real simple, you take care of it.
Speaker 2: But let me give you a paraphrase of the phrase
Speaker 2: sanctify my body. Here you can write this one down.
Speaker 2: Here's what it means. Get in shape, that's what it means.
Speaker 2: And if you want God to use you, you got to
Speaker 2: get in shape because the better in shape you are,
Speaker 2: the more energy you'll have and the more God can
Speaker 2: use you. See how practical this is. God says, I
Speaker 2: want you to give your body to me. Why because
Speaker 2: you can't do anything without your body. Saw one nineteen
Speaker 2: verse seventy three says this, you made my body. Lord,
Speaker 2: Now give me the sense to heed your laws. You know.
Speaker 2: God set up the principles of good health, and he
Speaker 2: says there's a balance between eating and sleeping and exercising,
Speaker 2: and he says you need all three third John two,
Speaker 2: God says, I'm concerned about your health. I want you
Speaker 2: to be healthy. The Old Testament is full of rules
Speaker 2: about health, and actually a major part, one third of
Speaker 2: jesus ministry was helping people get healthy. So God says,
Speaker 2: I don't want you to just have a pure heart.
Speaker 2: I want you to have an in shape body so
Speaker 2: I can use you more effectively. Now, I guess of
Speaker 2: these three of a sleep and eat and exercise, that
Speaker 2: everybody in this room probably needs to work on one
Speaker 2: of them, at least some of you. You're not getting
Speaker 2: enough sleep, and you're tired all the time, and really
Speaker 2: having that extra hour sleep would probably help you be
Speaker 2: more effective in your life, and you would have more energy,
Speaker 2: and God could use you. God can't use somebody who's
Speaker 2: tired all the time. You're just moping around, jumping around.
Speaker 2: You need to get your proper rest. In fact, look
Speaker 2: at this verse up here on scripture. Someone twenty seven
Speaker 2: verse two on the video screen says this, it is
Speaker 2: senseless for you to work so hard from early morning
Speaker 2: until late at night. For God wants his loved ones
Speaker 2: read it with me to get their proper rest. So
Speaker 2: for some of you, the most spiritual thing you can
Speaker 2: do is go to bed. Now, don't do it until
Speaker 2: his sermon's over. But I mean, don't go to sleep
Speaker 2: on me. But you need to get your rest. And
Speaker 2: so some of you need to work on the rest
Speaker 2: factor in dedicating your body. Some of you need to
Speaker 2: work like me. On the food factor, I don't know
Speaker 2: why God made food taste so good. I mean, you
Speaker 2: could have made it all taste like oatmeal, but he didn't.
Speaker 2: Look at this verse up here on the screen. First
Speaker 2: Corinthians six thirteen says food is for the stomach, and
Speaker 2: the stomach is for food. But God will put an
Speaker 2: end to both. That means they're temporary. The body is
Speaker 2: not to be used for sexual immorality, but to serve
Speaker 2: the Lord. Now leave that scripturep there once you know
Speaker 2: those couple things. First, food is for the stomach, the
Speaker 2: stomach for food. What is he saying there? He's saying this,
Speaker 2: You eat to live, you don't live to eat. You
Speaker 2: see the difference. You eat to live, you don't live
Speaker 2: to eat. And then notice he compares over eating down
Speaker 2: here to sexual immorality. Now, I wouldn't put those in
Speaker 2: the same category. You know, you wouldn't think of, you know,
Speaker 2: cheating on your husband or your wife. But God says,
Speaker 2: you know, these are sins against the body. And he
Speaker 2: says this is serious. This is serious. God says, I
Speaker 2: want you to be in shape. And then, of course
Speaker 2: everybody needs exercise. Every one of us need exercise. Now
Speaker 2: I want to personally recommend to you sleepwalking. Okay, I
Speaker 2: highly recommend this. It's multitasking. Okay, you can get your
Speaker 2: rest and your exercise at the same time. Works really good. Okay,
Speaker 2: so you're doubling up your effort sleepwalking, be very, very good.
Speaker 2: The point is this, you can have a wrong attitude
Speaker 2: or a right attitude to your body. What's the wrong attitude?
Speaker 2: The wrong attitude is neglected, the wrong attitude is rejected. God,
Speaker 2: I'm on a different one. The wrong attitude is perfected.
Speaker 2: That's the bodybuilders who are narcissistic, and you know they
Speaker 2: worship their body and they build all these muscles as
Speaker 2: if the body is the most important thing in life. Now,
Speaker 2: you don't worship your body, You don't neglect it, you
Speaker 2: don't reject it, you don't perfect it. What do you do?
Speaker 2: You respect it and you protect it. That's what God
Speaker 2: wants you to do with your body. Why because God
Speaker 2: created it, Jesus paid for it, and the Holy Spirit
Speaker 2: lives in it. So what's our motivation? Look at the
Speaker 2: next verse one Corinthians nine. Read it with me. Athletes
Speaker 2: practice discipline and self control. They do it to win
Speaker 2: a prize that will fade away. But we do it
Speaker 2: for an eternal prize. Our motivation is we want to
Speaker 2: please God in an eternity. You will be rewarded because
Speaker 2: you made the most of what you were given, he said.
Speaker 2: Athletes get you know, they get in shape just to
Speaker 2: win an award, he said, but this is going to
Speaker 2: be an eternal award. If you get in shape so
Speaker 2: that God could use you more effectively. Now here's the
Speaker 2: third step. If you want to be used by God.
Speaker 2: Simplify my life. I purify my heart, I sanctify my body,
Speaker 2: and I simplify my life so I have more time
Speaker 2: to be used by God. You know, the Bible compares
Speaker 2: life to a marathon race, and in Hebrews Paul says
Speaker 2: this Hebrews twelve. We should remove anything from our lives
Speaker 2: that would get in the way and hold us back.
Speaker 2: He says, just as you're running a race of life,
Speaker 2: let go of anything that holds you back. Now I
Speaker 2: know this one from personal experience. If the devil can't
Speaker 2: make you bad, he'll make you busy. Okay, if he
Speaker 2: can't make you bad, he'll make you busy, and he'll
Speaker 2: get you so busy you don't have time for the
Speaker 2: important stuff. It's good things, they're all really good things.
Speaker 2: But you don't have time for God, for time alone
Speaker 2: with God, for ministry, for mission, things like that. So
Speaker 2: Paul says, simplify your life. Get rid of the excess baggage.
Speaker 2: Don't try to do it all, do what matters most.
Speaker 2: You have just enough time to do God's will. That
Speaker 2: means if you don't, you can't get everything done. It
Speaker 2: means there are things on that list God ever intended
Speaker 2: for you to do in the first place. Serious runner's focus, now, friends,
Speaker 2: I have met thousands of people who have told me
Speaker 2: they want to be used by God. But they never will.
Speaker 2: They'll never be used by God. Why they're too busy.
Speaker 2: They're too busy. They've got their own agenda going, They've
Speaker 2: got their own things going, they've got their own plans
Speaker 2: and dreams and ambitions going, and they don't have any time.
Speaker 2: And they try to carve out a little sliver in
Speaker 2: the pie of life, say oh, I'll give this to God.
Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way. If you're serious about being
Speaker 2: used by God, you have to say, Lord, what do
Speaker 2: I need to let go of? What I need to
Speaker 2: cut out what are the barriers that are holding me back,
Speaker 2: that are keeping me from running the race you out
Speaker 2: for me? Now, there are lots of different barriers that
Speaker 2: hold you back from God's plan for your life. Then
Speaker 2: let me give you two real common ones. You can
Speaker 2: write these down. The first one is distractions. Distractions. Jesus
Speaker 2: said this in Luke six. Anybody who lets himself be
Speaker 2: distracted from the work that I plan for him is
Speaker 2: not fit for the Kingdom of heaven. He says. Don't
Speaker 2: let yourself be distracted. Now, what could distract you from
Speaker 2: your life mission? Oh, a lot of things. The expectations
Speaker 2: of other people. You're trying to please everybody else's to
Speaker 2: try to please God. You can't do that. You got
Speaker 2: to decide am I going to please God with my life?
Speaker 2: Or am I going to please my boyfriend or my girlfriend,
Speaker 2: or my boss or whatever. You've got to decide who
Speaker 2: you're going to please first. In life, you can only
Speaker 2: have one number one, and the expectations of others, the
Speaker 2: opinions of others. Trying to be like other people can
Speaker 2: be a distraction. Television can be a distraction. Hobbies can
Speaker 2: be distraction. There's nothing wrong with these things. They're good things,
Speaker 2: but they can distract you. Addictions, the wrong kind of
Speaker 2: friends can distract you. There may be some friends that
Speaker 2: you say, you know what, you're just letting me. I'm
Speaker 2: not talking about a good friendship, talking about you know,
Speaker 2: negative one. To finish the race, you gotta let go.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what is the biggest distraction for
Speaker 2: most people. Your past, your past. Some of you refuse
Speaker 2: to let go of your past, and you keep holding
Speaker 2: on to it, either guilt things that I've done to
Speaker 2: others or resentment things that others have done to me.
Speaker 2: And you won't let go of the guilt or the
Speaker 2: grudges or the grief. And as a result, you are
Speaker 2: stuck in the past and you cannot get on with
Speaker 2: the present, and you can't certainly get on to God's
Speaker 2: future vision for you. If you're stuck in the past,
Speaker 2: you need to let it go. Let it go. Your
Speaker 2: past is past, it's over. You got to let it
Speaker 2: go so you can get on with the future. Stop
Speaker 2: rehearsing the past, release it, release it, and let it go.
Speaker 2: Distractions will keep you. Notice this next verse two Timothy
Speaker 2: twenty four as Christ's soldiers, don't let yourself become tied
Speaker 2: up in the affairs of this life circle that phrase
Speaker 2: tied up. Some of you are all tied up in
Speaker 2: nuts by the affairs of this life. For then you
Speaker 2: cannot satisfy the one who has enlisted you in his army,
Speaker 2: if you are enlisted in the service. And by the way,
Speaker 2: they don't call it the service for nothing, it's to serve.
Speaker 2: If you've been listed in the service, you don't get
Speaker 2: involved in civilian affairs because you've got to please your
Speaker 2: commanding officer. And if you said to God, whatever it takes, God,
Speaker 2: I want to be yours, then you can't get tied
Speaker 2: up and a lot of other things. So what do
Speaker 2: you need to let go of? Look at this verse
Speaker 2: up here on the screen. The Bible says in First
Speaker 2: Corinthians ten, everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial.
Speaker 2: What does that mean? Everything is permissible but not everything's beneficial.
Speaker 2: It means this a lot of things aren't necessarily wrong,
Speaker 2: just not necessary. They're not necessarily wrong, they're not evil,
Speaker 2: they're just not necessary. Now let me give you the
Speaker 2: greatest time management tip you'll ever get. This is the
Speaker 2: greatest time management tip. It's a two letter word.
