You Have Too Much

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our inner circles and the people we surround ourselves with on our spiritual journey. The story of Gideon from the book of Judges serves as a profound illustration of how God sometimes calls us to 'downsize' our connections to fulfill His greater purpose. Just as Gideon had to reduce his army from 32,000 to 300, we too might need to carefully select those who journey alongside us. This isn't about isolation, but about aligning ourselves with those who share our vision, faith, and courage. The message encourages us to be vigilant about who we allow to speak into our lives, reminding us that not everyone who is present is meant to be a partner in our destiny. It's a call to surround ourselves with 'dreamers' and 'visionaries' who can see beyond our current circumstances and push us towards our God-given potential. This teaching invites us to reflect on our relationships and consider whether they're propelling us forward or holding us back in our faith walk.
