What would you do?

Today I came across a blog that my pastor, Perry Noble, wrote in 2009.  It really made me think and I wanted to share with all you.  Here's a part of what he said.  If you want to see the whole story, which includes how he came about planting our church, you can find it here.

SO…what about you…what would YOU be willing to attempt for God if you KNEW you could not fail?
If the answer isn’t, “what I am doing right now” then I would say you need to do some serious praying and rearranging.
You see…life is SHORT…our days are numbered…and God didn’t put us on this planet to screw around…but rather to MAKE A DIFFERENCE by USING what HE has given us to advance HIS Kingdom and MAKE HIM FAMOUS!
Too many of us are held captive by fear…but remember He is THE MOST HIGH GOD!!!  Never let fear trump the potential God has placed in you!
Too many of us are held captive by the unknown…but remember HE KNOWS!  Besides…if we have EVERY answer to every question then what He is commanding us to do would not require faith on our part…and where would the fun be in that?!?!?!
Too many of us are held captive by people who say “it” can’t be done…but if you will look at who is saying that “it” you will discover that they aren’t actually doing anything except for trying to hold back the people God is letting loose to do ministry.
Too many of us are held captive by critics…but if you will notice Jesus was criticized…and, if you are not experiencing some opposition then that means the enemy is pleased with you…not exactly the calling our lives should fulfill!!!
What would you be willing to attempt for God if you KNEW you could not fail?
You’ve GOT to beg Him for revelation on this…and when He gives you the Word…you’ve GOT to act.  God doesn’t reveal Himself to us so that we can CONSIDER IT…but rather so that we will be CONSUMED by it and OBEY HIS VOICE!
BTW…if the thing that you would attempt scares you to death…if you have had sleepless nights thinking about it…if you KNOW that failure is a sure thing unless HE gets involved…then you should probably make a move…SOON!  (Like…maybe even RIGHT NOW!!!)
SO…what would you be willing to attempt for God if you knew you could not fail? 
Please feel free to comment in the comments section below - I'd love some feedback, encouragement, or even just confirmation that someone is reading.  :)   My next post will be about the moment I knew God was calling me to minister to the people of Kenya and the several times that calling has been reaffirmed.
