MOVE INTO HIS PRESENCE
by Tara Kayali

  • The Wrong Question: Shifting Focus

    • Stop asking “Why did this happen?” and start asking, “What is God’s plan for the pieces?”
    • God doesn’t break us—He what is broken.
    • Reference: John 11 (Lazarus) – Jesus didn’t promise the absence of death but that the story wouldn’t end in death.
  • Redemption over Prevention

  • Personal Testimony: Overcoming Strongholds

    • Vision of strongholds as a formation that melts away in God’s presence.
    • Satan targets areas critical to your ministry and tries to make the stronghold feel like part of your identity.
  • Moving Closer to God

    • It’s God’s , not human , that removes strongholds.
      -Consistent prayer, worship, and scripture reading draws you close to God and allows Him to work on your heart.
  • Battling Fear and Insecurity

    • Personal story: Fear of people held back relationships and community involvement.
    • Transformation through God’s intervention, what you can become your ministry .
  • Your Calling and Purpose

    • Every believer is called to to others, even if you feel insignificant.
    • Satan’s strategy is to your gifts under strongholds, but pressing into God melts those away.
  • Consistent Faithfulness in Small Things

    • Reflect on the boy’s lunch in John 6 (feeding of 5,000): What seems small can be multiplied by God for a much larger impact.
    • Daily in actions can lead to fulfilling your larger purpose.
  • Victory in the Fire: Refined, Not Destroyed

  • Forgiveness and Release: Personal Story

    • God’s call to forgiveness as a release from being shackled to past hurts, leading to healing.
    • The redemption seen in Sorrells’ salvation and calling as a missionary inside prison.
  • Closing Call to Action: Surrender the Broken Pieces
    -Let go of strongholds and allow God to create something beautiful from your story.
