Today's Word 11-21-25: You're Approved by God

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
At your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie,
and it's time for today's word. I'm reminding you you're
approved by God. You're approved by God. Jeremiah one in
five says, before I formed you in the womb, I

(00:22):
knew you and approved you as my chosen instrument. And
before you were born, I consecrated you again. That's Jeremiah
one in five in the amplified version. Before your first breath,
before your first step, before your first mistake, God already
knew you, not in a distant general way, but in

(00:45):
an intimate, intentional, purposeful field way. He says, I knew you,
and I didn't just know you. I approved you before
you were even formed. That means you came into this
world already loved, already chosen, already carrying the fingerprints of
divine purpose. But here's the challenge. Life tries to talk

(01:09):
you out of what God has already spoken over you.
The enemy works over time, trying to convince you that
your flaws disqualify you, your past defines you, and your
weaknesses limit you. He whispers, You're not smart enough, you're
not spiritual enough, you're not gifted enough. You're not confident enough.

(01:31):
But the devil is a liar. None of those voices
come from God. God is the one who created you,
fearfully and wonderfully, made in His likeness and his image.
God specializes in calling people who feel unqualified, people like Jeremiah,
who said, Lord, I'm too young, I can't speak well.

(01:52):
I'm not the right person. And God responded, don't say that.
I'm the one that appointed you. See, God doesn't look
for pfe he looks for willingness. He's not intimidated by
your weaknesses. He factored them in when he formed you.
He knew the family you would grow up in. He
knew the struggles you would face. He knew every wrong

(02:12):
turn that you would take. And still he said, I
choose you, I approve you, and I can use you.
So today, stop disqualifying your self yourself, stop rehearsing who
you were, and start agreeing with who God says you are.
You are not an accident, you are not behind, You

(02:33):
are not less than. You are God's chosen instrument. You're
set apart, you're equipped, and you're annointed for the purpose
only you can fulfill. Your past is already forgiven. Your
identity is already secure and your future is right. So
walk like someone who's already been approved, Talk like someone
who's already been chosen. Live like someone who's already been

(02:56):
appointed by God, who embrace his approval. Your silence every lie.
You'll silence every lie of the enemy. You'll rise above insecurity.
You'll step boldly into rooms you want shrink back from. You,
chase dreams you once felt unworthy of, and you began

(03:17):
to fulfill the very calling God placed in you long
before you were ever born. Father, God, thank you. Thank
you that you approved us before we were ever formed
in our mother's room, long before we made our first mistake.
Thank you that you choose us, You love us despite
our weaknesses and shortcomings. Help us to reject every lie

(03:40):
that says that we're not enough. God, we declare that
we accept your approval, and we will walk confidently and
who you created us to be in Jesus name. That's
your word for today. Take it applied to your everyday life,
and continue to be inspired with me, your girl, Sherry Mackie,
it's your early morning praise party.
