1 Peter‬: 5
“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand. The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Mark my son. Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen…”

“Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble…”

{‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬}

“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up…”

‭‭{James‬ ‭4:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬}

~GOD’s~ picture of a leader is one who is humble in his thoughts about himself, but is exalted in his thoughts about ~JESUS~. The world teaches us that we are to stand our ground, be our own person, to stand tall, and that we are king. In ~GOD’s~ Kingdom, we come to know who ~JESUS~ really is through His life—changing power, and through this process, we realize we can accomplish nothing except by the Spirit of ~GOD~ moving through us…

The first step to a higher calling in ~GOD~ is when we come to the end of ourselves. The way to ~GOD~ is always down on our knees with our heart turned towards Him. ~GOD~ never lifts us up until we have found ourselves cast down before Him. Our egos must go, and self must be destroyed in order for ~GOD~ to lift us up for His service and calling. ~GOD~ is not interested in our flesh, but He is interested in our spirit person being totally dedicated to Him, which will bring the natural person into subjection to the things of ~GOD~. In the world’s eyes, we may be at our lowest position, but this is when ~GOD~ lifts us up. When we reach the place where our desire is to do ~GOD’s~ will, and we take no pride in what we do, but much pride in what ~GOD~ does, and we give Him All the Glory for our accomplishments, then this is when we become world—changers, answering the call of humility…

May ~GOD~ allow us to Die to ourselves and be Resurrected in Him…

Ezekiel‬: ‭3
“Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel. So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll. And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them. For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee. But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted. Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads. As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears. And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord God; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear. Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place. I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing. So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me. Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel–abib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days. And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. And the hand of the Lord was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee. Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face. Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house. But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them: And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house. But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house!!!”

Matthew‬: 6
“Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof…”

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby…”

{‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬}

We should always be moving forward in our Christian lives. Every day should be a day of growth and advancement in our Lord ~JESUS~ Christ. There is only one direction from birth to Heaven—forward. There are no “going back” days. Even in times of rest we should be advancing in our spirit. If we live in the same place day after day, our vision becomes weak and we lose our vitality to advance. This is a dangerous place to be. This is a position that can cause backsliding…

The Scriptures record our greatest advances and our most difficult times. It is not the easy times, but the hard times when ~GOD’s~ glory descends. We should be moving forward during times of testing and trials. As a matter of fact, it is during these times that ~GOD~ actually makes us into what He has called us to be. All reconstruction in our lives happens during difficult times. These are the most beneficial times of growth. In one of my most recent times of difficulty, a friend of mine asked me this question, “Did you think it would be easy???”

~GOD~ does not call us to sit on the sidelines. He calls us to action. When we reach the place that we believe there’s no hope, that is the time ~GOD~ makes us the person we need to be for that day and that hour. That is when we have a testimony and something to share about the life changing power of ~JESUS~ Christ. As a matter of fact,

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations…”

‭‭{James‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬}

We are in a perfect place when we have done all that we can do and we must look to ~GOD~ for the answer. If we will allow ~GOD~ to, He will mold us and make us into His image…

Are you going through difficult times? Have you reached the place that you are willing to turn it all over to ~GOD~? Is ~GOD~ calling you to a higher place? If we are serious about being used of ~GOD~, then He will be serious about taking us from one place to another. We have a great calling and a great victory, but it can never be in us, it must always be in Him…

My prayer for you is that you will be what ~GOD~ has called you to be and you will be willing to be used of Him even in the tough times…

Romans‬: ‭3
“What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law!!!”

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy…”

{‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:9-10‬ ‭KJV‬‬}

Yes, you are called!!!

You are included among ~GOD’s~ elect. For many, this will be a revelation for they believe that only a few are called, and these are called to greatness. For the rest of us, we will stumble through life and somehow or another, barely make it into Heaven. I do not believe, nor does ~GOD’s~ Word teach, that we are to barely do anything for the cause of Christ. ~GOD~ did not send His son, ~JESUS~ Christ, to die on a cross for us to “just barely” do anything. His Word declares that we are more than conquerors through Christ and that He would do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we could ask or think. As a matter of fact, ~GOD’s~ promises are always above and beyond. They are not settled in the least, but are given in the abundance…

I believe ~GOD’s~ calling is a two—fold calling. There is a general calling to all—the call of salvation, that none would be lost, and there is a second calling to the individual—the call of a servant. It is in this calling that we must decrease, that the Spirit of ~GOD~ may increase in us. Christ teaches us it is from the least that greatness comes. Paul, one of the greatest apostles, said he was the least of the least…

Many of you are sitting squarely in your calling and you don’t realize it. You have access to the power of the Godhead to accomplish ~GOD’s~ will in your life. You are looking at other people with the thought that it would be nice to be called of ~GOD~, when in fact, you were created on purpose and for a purpose and your greatness and your destiny lies in ~GOD~. I challenge you this day to steal away in some quiet place and ask ~GOD~ to not only reveal His specific calling for you, but for Him to accomplish His perfect plan in your life…

We will never know our destiny in Christ until we do two things: we reach a place where we say to ~GOD~, “I completely give myself to You for You to do with me as You desire” and we ask that ~GOD~ would be gracious enough to use His Spirit to break us and remold us into His image. I believe as we catch a glimpse of who ~GOD~ called us to be, it will amaze us, excite us and cause the hindering forces that have been set against us to flee…

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world…”

‭‭{1 John‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬}

May ~GOD~ richly bless you in your surrender and in His calling…
