It sure is tough to find good help these days!
God wants you to be a Loner!
I once heard that there was study conducted with teenagers and the power of peer pressure. The study took 15 teenagers and put them in a room. 14 of the teenagers were in on the study and were told what answer to give. The 15th teenager was not told anything about the study and thought he and the other teenagers were all on the same page. The instructor had two colored cards that he held up for them, one was red and one was blue. The 14 teenagers that were told how to answer the question were told to say both cards were blue when the instructor asked what color. So as the experiment started, the first 14 teenagers said that both cards were blue when asked…when it got to the 15th teenager, 76% of the time the teenager would say both cards were blue, instead of saying one was blue and one was red.
Can you have a deep down core change on your own?
“The Great Commission is not just a commission to be for self. It is a command to be obeyed. God has called us to go; there is no other option,” she said. “What would your life look like if you had nothing to lose? What would your life look like if you had nothing to prove? That’s the call of God on your life.”

As I listened to Heather Mercer and revisit a couple of the questions she asked during her talk…“What would your life look like if you had nothing to lose? What would your life look like if you had nothing to prove?”…Wow, those are tough questions to think about and be honest with yourself. Why? Because in reality I do have something to lose and things to prove! At least the human side of me does. I think for many of us, myself included, we continue to look at a relationship with God completely in the wrong perspective.
If I was honest with myself and 100% completely sold out to God, then I truly wouldn’t have anything to lose or prove. However, in my daily thinking I have not surrendered to this fact. My thinking is I do have something to lose and prove. I have places “I” want to go. Yep, it is still all about me. I wish it wasn’t, but I just cannot seem to shake that way of acting deep down at my core. Let me clarify, I do not walk around conscientiously thinking this way, but if I stop and get honest with what is deep inside, then this is true.
