In this short, impassioned sermon, the speaker declares that personal wounds, poverty, or social rejection do not disqualify anyone from being used by God to effect change. Citing biblical figures such as the widow with flour and oil, the desert‑dwelling prophet, and the demoniac of Gadara, the speaker emphasizes that God deliberately chooses the "throwaways"—those with rough edges, brokenness, or societal stigma—to demonstrate His power. The message urges listeners, especially those who feel discarded or hopeless, to trust that God values them and can work through their suffering to bring about a larger purpose.

Chapters

Your wound doesn't stop God from using you to change the world. Anything, because surely she can't sustain anything. She can't even take care of her own son. Her husband is dead. Who is she? God says she's important to me. God says, I like to, I like to use the throwaways, the part that you don't look for. Fill it up. I like the ones that have the rough edges. Fill it up. Yes, I like to, I like to look at the edges that are rough, the ones that nobody look for. That's the one I can use. I love to use a one crying in the wilderness wearing camel hair, eating locusts, and hair matted to his head, and he's screaming. I love to use them. I love to use the ones that are in the tombs, that are cutting themselves, screaming, breaking chains, and the community is afraid of them. Ah, God says, tells Jesus, go to Gadara because there's a demoniac there that I wanna use. He's out of his mind, but I'm gonna give him my mind. Yes. As I hasten to a close, This is much bigger than a miracle about flour and oil. That's right. God hid the future of a movement inside the obedience of a woman who thought her own future was over.
