4. The CALLING FROM OUR SAVIOUR VS 5-6
a. Silver and gold have I none. They were not interested in just meeting his ne
b. Such as I have. They wanted him to experience what they had received
c. Rise up and walk! No doubt he had to be:

As long as you are holding on to something in your hands you will never be able to receive what God has for you!
What you are holding on to tells your family what is important to you.
God is not concerned with your needs. He is concerned with your condition.
You are limited your potential by the size of your cup.
