The Power of No

Message Title: The power of No 

Message Text: Nehemiah 6:1-3, 16 

Message Truth: The most powerful addition comes by subtraction. 

• Ephesians 6:12 

• 1Peter 5:8 

• Galatians 5:17 

• 2 Corinthians 11 

1.God has called us all to a great work 

2.The adversary will use anything to distract you 

3.We must wage war on the enemy and sin that wages war on us

If we don’t practice some “planned neglect” of other things, even good things, we’ll be distracted from God’s best 

• What is your great work? ________________________________________ 

• What are your distractions? ______________________________________ 

• What are you willing to do? ______________________________________ 

• How am I praying about this? _____________________________________ 

The key is little by little in the presence of God — but we want to things to happen fast in our power and control. 

Action Steps 

1. Practice saying Yes to God’s priorities 

1. Practice saying No to the adversary’s distractions
