This is Namma for Christ with the two
hundred ninety-fifth inspirational message dated Wednesday, November 5th, 2025.
The title of this message is “Won’t Start Now – Faith Barriers – Exodus 3”.
The first three words of this message’s
title are also the words of the title
of the below anointed song/video, “Won’t Start Now (with lyrics)” as performed
by Seph Schlueter.
The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this
message) is from the third through the fifth verses and the tenth through the twelfth verses of the third chapter of
Exodus.
Exodus 3:3-5
New King James Version - (NKJV)
3 Then Moses said, “I will now turn
aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”
4 So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to
look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses,
Moses!”
And he
said, “Here I am.”
5 Then He said, “Do not draw near this
place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you
stand is holy ground.”
Exodus 3:10-12
New King James Version - (NKJV)
10 Come now, therefore, and I will send
you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of
Egypt.”
11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I
that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out
of Egypt?”
12 So He said, “I will certainly be
with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have
sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on
this mountain.”
The title of this
message includes the words – “Faith Barriers” –
which is the “title” of the late
Dr. Charles Stanley’s “In Touch” Daily Devotional for (October 11th,
2025) – which I have included below (Dr. Charles Stanley passed away on 4/18/23).
Dr. Charles Stanley was the founder of the “In Touch” daily devotional. Those
who work on behalf of this daily devotional are continuing its publication - as
it ministers to readers around the world. I recently read the below message and
wanted to share this message in “Namma for Christ”.
Faith Barriers
Exodus 3:10 - 4:11
Yesterday,
(on the 10/10/25 Intouch message) we
saw how God used Moses to carry out His plans and ultimately the mission became
one of the greatest in all of Scripture. But it didn’t start out that way.
When
first called, the future leader responded with list of reasons explaining why
he shouldn’t obey. He tried to hide
behind the same faith barriers believers cite today: a poor self-image (Ex.
3:11-12 see above), ignorance about
God (Ex. 3:13-21), self-doubt (Ex. 4:1-9), and feelings of inadequacy (Ex.
3:10-11 see above). Fearing that he
would fail, Moses protested that the Lord had asked the wrong person, but God
responded with a firm, persuasive rebuttal.
The
theme of God’s answers is something all believers need to understand, just as
Moses finally did – namely, that when we are called to serve, human strength,
skill and wisdom do not matter. Rather, it is the Lord who does the work
through us. He doesn’t seek out the most qualified person for a particular job
but instead calls those who are willing to surrender to Him.
Excuses
for disobedience haven’t changed much since Moses encountered the burning bush.
When you’re tempted to respond with “But...,” remember you don’t have to be
qualified or prepared. God saw Moses as he was and equipped him. He will do the
same for you.
