Won’t Start Now – Faith Barriers – Exodus 3

 

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)

 

Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”

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.”

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 11/10/25 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.

 

I pray that you have enjoyed the above message and I pray that you will enjoy the accompanied song.
