ELIMINATE THE DISTRACTIONSMark 8:13-18

THE ONES WHO WILL HEAR THE STILL, SMALL VOICE OF JESUS IN THIS GENERATION ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE ELIMINATED DISTRACTIONS!

A.) IN ORDER TO HEAR WHAT GOD IS SAYING, WE MUST REMOVE ALL DISTRACTIONS AND KEEP OUR EYES ON HIM! Isaiah 6:1-10

I want you to notice Isaiah's 3-fold vision:

1.) When the man who had taken care of him died, Isaiah turned again to the Lord, and it was then that he received his vision!
2.) And, finally, after he saw God and himself, he got a vision of the world that he was sent to witness to.
3.) After Isaiah saw the Lord, he saw himself!

B) THE JOB POSITION IS OPEN, AND THE ADVERTISEMENT HAS GONE FORTH!Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15; Matt.9:37-38; Acts 1:8

The job? Reach the lost at any cost!
The Pay? Matthew 16:26-27
The benefits? Romans 14:17
