In this episode of the Closer to Jesus Podcast, we’re diving into where your true ability comes from—and it’s not your own strength. Jesus is the power in your purpose, and today we’re talking about how to activate that purpose through faith, obedience, and a sound mind.
We look at the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 and how fear caused one servant to hide what was given to him. But Jesus didn’t give us a spirit of fear—He gave us power, love, and a sound mind! Let’s explore what it really means to step into the calling God has placed on your life and use your gifts for His Kingdom.
📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
Matthew 25:14-15 – The Parable of the Talents: “To every man according to his several ability…”
2 Timothy 1:7-10 – “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.”
Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
John 15:5 – “Without Me, you can do nothing.”
Zechariah 4:6 – “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.”
🕊️ In this episode, I share how:
-Your gifts are backed by Heaven’s power.
-Fear is not from God—it’s a tactic of the enemy to bury your purpose.
-You are called, equipped, and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
-You don’t have to be perfect—just obedient.
Don’t bury your talents—spend them! What you do now matters in eternity.
