Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In this opening message of the Built For More series, Pastor Will Jackson addresses the spiritual amnesia that causes believers to live beneath their God-given identity and potential. True humility is not shrinking back or self-rejection, but stepping into divine alignment with who God declared you to be. By recognizing that confidence comes from knowing who sent you, believers are challenged to fan their dormant gifts into flame, break free from past labels, and walk in full kingdom obedience.

Pastor's Points

1.

The Power Cycle: Assignment (chosen for royal assignment), Agreement (confidence born from standing in God's love), Alignment (full obedience to God's vision)

2.

Practical Tools for Kingdom Confidence: Conduct an Identity Audit nightly

3.

Practical Tools for Kingdom Confidence: Enhance Personal Boundaries (N.I.C.E. words)

4.

Practical Tools for Kingdom Confidence: Fan the Flame of your God-given gifts

Key Points

1.
Spiritual amnesia occurs when believers identify with where they are or what they have done rather than who God ordained them to be.
2.
The enemy does not need to destroy your purpose if he can convince you that you are too small to carry it.
3.
True biblical humility is not downplaying your God-given power, purpose, or potential, but coming into divine alignment with what God established.
4.
Jesus served humbly by taking on the form of a servant, yet He never denied His messianic identity or apologized for His anointed assignment.
5.
Your confidence comes from knowing who sent you on your mission, whereas cockiness is rooted in self-promotion and seeking personal recognition.
6.
Life challenges, disrespect, and trials are not roadblocks but spiritual employees working together for the good of those called according to God's purpose.
7.
When you view yourself as chosen through your spiritual assignment, you shift from sabotaging opportunities to stewarding them well.

Sermon Moments

“The enemy doesn't have to destroy you if he can diminish you; he doesn't have to kill your purpose if he can convince you that you are too small to carry it.”

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself or downgrading your purpose; it is coming into divine alignment with what God has established.”

“If God calls you chosen, stop calling yourself ordinary; if heaven calls you holy, stop identifying with your past.”

“I don't have problems, I have employees—because everything is working together for my good.”

“Confidence is about who sent me; cockiness is about who I am.”

“You drive a rented luxury car with confidence because someone with authority handed you the keys; in the same way, Jesus handed you kingdom keys.”

“Adopt a shooter's mentality like Steph Curry by quickly moving past your last miss and continuing to step up in faith.”

“Your internal unrest is because you are full up with purpose and you refuse to pour it out.”

This Week

Perform a nightly "Identity Audit" by reflecting on what you believed about yourself, what evidence supported it, if it lined up with Scripture, and what biblical truth will replace it tomorrow.

Stop calling yourself ordinary or average when God has called you chosen, holy, and a royal ambassador.

Practice Kingdom confidence by remembering who sent you into your daily environments rather than focusing on your own limitations.

Establish personal boundaries for your speech using the N.I.C.E. framework—ensure your words to yourself and others are Nurturing, Innovative, Convicting, and Empowering.

Bring at least three practical solutions whenever you raise a problem to ensure your conversations focus on innovation rather than complaining.

Adopt a "shooter's mentality" towards your spiritual calling by quickly moving past past failures and continuing to step forward in faith.

Fan into flame dormant gifts and initiatives God gave you by taking actionable steps of obedience this week instead of waiting for approval.

Remember This

You were built for more, so break free from spiritual amnesia and step boldly into the authority, identity, and assignment God has handpicked for you.

A Challenge for You

Surrender the need to control what others think about your calling, stand ten toes down in the power and authority God gave you, and declare that you will no longer diminish your identity or shrink beneath your potential.
