God calls us through lifes interruption's

YOU HAVE A CALLING



WHAT IS THIS CALLING? 

Being free from our past lives and becoming a servant of Jesus Christ in whatever capacity God begins to shape.

Every dead area of your life is now available for further review for God's life-changing power.

Maybe a relationship in your life has fell apart
Maybe you lost your job
Maybe you made a terrible mistake
Maybe you are stuck in sin

Everything looks dead, But it's not over God is CALLING YOU!

Most of us give up on things way to soon and never consider hearing God's calling. 


WITHOUT GOD IN YOUR LIFE NOTHING CAN RESUME HOPE.

So let us be clear, all of God's people partake of the one calling, a calling to holiness, hope, eternal life and the kingdom of God. And having accepted that call we then get down to the business of obeying the Word of God which includes working with our hands in whatever way possible so that we are not a burden on others and so that we will have something to share with those in need.

 
You Were Made By 

God's 

Design 

To Serve Him In 

A Special and Unique 

Way Within The Church 

or Within The World, But 

Not Of The World. 


God’s saving call

is a call to a

particular
        people...you. 

Those whom God calls,  are nobodies, from the world’s viewpoint. 
They are not wise, nor mighty, nor of noble parentage and birth; rather, they are foolish, weak, and lowly in the sight of men. Those who are called know themselves to be sinners, unworthy of God’s grace, deserving of His everlasting wrath. Yet God knows them as those whom He chose from eternity to be His people; those for whom Christ died and arose; those in whom the Spirit implants the new life of Christ; those made saints, and brought into the church of Christ. Every human being is called but not all respond.


When God calls us, He speaks to us.


 He does so, as we stand by nature in the world of sin and unbelief and ungodliness; loving the lie; and hating the law. And to us He says:

 “Come out of such ungodliness and unbelief. Stop having ungodly ambitions. Don’t strive after worldly greatness. Stop having fellowship with unbelievers. And come into the knowledge of the truth; walk in the light; and enjoy the saving fellowship of Jesus Christ, your Lord.” 

This speech of God by which He calls is really nothing else than the voice of Jesus Christ. 
Christ emphasizes this in John 10:3, calling Himself the Good Shepherd. Just as the earthly shepherd goes to the pen in which the sheep and goats of many different masters have spent the night, and calls his own by name to follow him, so does Jesus Christ call His own sheep,
with His own voice, and they come.

This call comes to us through the preaching of the gospel, as the Spirit works by that preaching to save the elect. The first four chapters of I Corinthians explain this point. God is growing us into the mysteries of God.  

Are you hearing the teaching of God's word in some fashion?

This is very important because it helps you make the inner connections.


Today God reminded me personally to remain in my same calling. God has been preparing me and I tend to get sloppy with my life and calling. I need to remain faithful and strong.

1 Corinthians 7:20 " Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called."

I pray today God spoke to you personally!

Now for a little laugh!  
I wrote this post awhile back. It ended up in a friends time hop this week and she shared what I sent her way back!
I chuckled when I looked into old posts and files this week. 
Check out this picture of me. This was the first year I started this blog. So end of 2010, not sure why I chose that bright red lipstick! 
Now this is a reason to like the app called #timehop

I had short hair but of course I knew how to make it BIG! 



Have a blessed day friends!
