Notes from this week's podcast: Feel unseen or stuck in an old situation? Let God put a new song in you!

"Does anyone see me?" Does anyone care?" "Do I even have a purpose?" "Does God hear me?" "Is God going to move?" "Is He going to answer me?" "Will God ever break through this situation, bring answer or solution?"

You're waiting on God to bring a miracle. What if the real situation is that God is actually waiting on you? Maybe the holdup is not God, but you.

It's time to stop, and it's time to see, time to speak, to begin to sing a new song. The new song is waiting for you to sing it.

"I want to see Your way out of this." 

It's time to stop. When we live our lives running, there's a time to stop. 

stop running from past mistakes

stop running from fears

stop running from quiet moments with God

(Example of Moses)

Before Moses could hear God, he had to stop. God had to get his attention. 

God will go to any extreme to get our attention. 

"You're going to send me to Pharaoh?" I'm sure Moses inside was laughing. But God wasn't laughing. When God sends you, He's serious. 

It's time to stop dragging around your excuses and fall on your face and say yes to God. 

When God stops you, you need to see who He is. And when you see Him, you need to believe Him. 

(Example of the Samaritan woman at the well)

Once she encountered the Living Water, she saw Him and believed Him. 

She stopped carrying the water pot, stopped carrying the weight of her past. 

Your past mistakes don't disqualify you from God's grace. 

Those mistakes become the soil that new life can take root in. 

As He has "resurrected" that life in you, that hope, that belief, because you've seen Jesus. Jesus saw you. He's put a new song in you. It's time for you to go and tell and sing that new song. 

God will put a message in your mouth that you cannot hold back because you're experiencing God's grace. He'll give you power to open your mouth and to speak it. 

1. Stop running and fix your eyes on Jesus.

2. See God -- right where you are. 

3. Believe -- His mercy is not giving up on you. He's waiting to give us something new every morning out of His mercy. 

4. Go and tell -- tell those around you; go and tell what God has done. 

Don't waste the testimony.

Share the miracle of God's grace in your own story. 

5. Keep singing that song unto the Lord.
