ARE YOU EXPECTING A
CALL? |

God has a great purpose for each of us. Everyone is not called to be in the spotlight, some of us are to hold up the hands of the ones who are, just to be armor bearers. That is one of the greatest calls. You will be closest to God when you are lifting up someone else. I believe everyone has to be an armor bearer as a proving time before qualifying for some of the other gifts and callings.
We can be in the dark about the call of God on our lives for two reasons: either we have not heard God’s call and we’re living as though we have or we have heard God’s call and we’re living as though we have not.
The only reason it appears that some people are “More called” by God than others is that they were expecting the call and answered it.
Confirmation of His call is important, but true confirmation will only come from a person with a direct line to God themselves, who seeks to know God’s will on your behalf. But it won’t be that only they hear and you don’t. Do not ever think that you have strayed so far away from God that you’ve forever missed your call. God will find you wherever you are. The Bible says that “the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29). When God issues a call, He doesn’t take it back. He only waits for us to move into it. He first gives a vision and then says, “Walk step by step with Me and I’ll do it through you.” We have to surrender our own dreams, (get self out of the way) to fulfill His call for us.
If we wait the doors will eventually start opening. You will know when an opportunity is not in line with His will for you. If you feel called to something better than what you are doing now, it is probably because you are. He will not leave you where you are forever. As long as you are consistently praying about it, God will either take you where you’re supposed to be, or give you grace to remain where you are until He says it’s time to move on. Keep in mind that once you hear God’s call on your life, it doesn’t mean that things will start happening immediately. You will experience that time of waiting when you are in preparation time for where He is taking you, don’t ever doubt His call for you.
God’s call on all of us is to be a light to those who are in darkness, but sometimes He has to take us through our own darkness so we will learn to depend totally on His light.
Don’t be afraid of the perfecting process that prepares you to move into God’s call on your life. It will establish, strengthen, and settle you (1 Peter 5:10). Just stand strong through the fire and you will be purified, molded, humbled, and made ready for what He has for you to do. Just walk step by step with God.
God’s idea of greatness Is having a heart, soul, and spirit so full of His greatness that it magnifies through us.
Remember that in order to hear God’s call, you must be expecting a call. You need faith that He will speak to you, that you can hear Him.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
Romans 8:30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
Ephesians 1:17-19 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
Matthew 5:14, 16 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. . . . .Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. |
