God Has Prepared Works For You For Others
(from “OTHERS – Living Life For Others” by Bill Loveless)Key Points
- God has already prepared specific “good works” for every believer
(Ephesians 2:10) – These are not random or self-created; they were planned by God in eternity past for you and no one else. - Definition of a “good work”
Any work that originates from God and is done by Him through you. - These works happen in your “Six Square Feet”
They are the eternal works God wants to accomplish through you for the people He brings into your life. - Ministry is NOT about your capability
- You are not capable.
- God is not looking for capable people.
- God is looking for available people.
Your only job: Be constantly AVAILABLE so God’s capability can work through you.
- Good works are SUPERNATURAL
When God works through you, the results are supernatural — there is no natural or man-made explanation. It is His life and power flowing through you to transform others. - The same power that raised Christ from the dead is available through you
(Ephesians 1:19-20)
This is the identical power the Holy Spirit used through Jesus (Luke 4:18). Through you, God can:
• Transform someone into Christ-likeness
• Set someone free from a sin stronghold
• Give victory over fleshly behavior
• Heal someone from woundedness
• Encourage, comfort, and give hope to another person
Core Takeaway of Chapter 2
You do not need to create ministry opportunities or rely on your own strength. God has already prepared the works. All He asks is that you live dependent on Christ as your Source and stay available. When you do, He will accomplish eternal, supernatural works through you for the people in your six square feet.
