Today’s Living Word – Released to Our True Calling

4–7 minutes

God speaks prophecy to his Church:

Hear me now, my beloved, and come unto my throne of grace to receive healing and forgiveness. What you need I have to give, and what you know not of I will illuminate to you, so that you may ask of me. Life eternal is a long and gradual process of growing in your spirit, and learning who you are in Christ. The physical realm is but a temporary home, a place of training and proving your ability to hear and follow me. There is no secret agenda – no hidden purpose. Each of you are called for a specific purpose. To know your position in the one body is an initial goal for each of my children. Once you know who you are spiritually, you may begin to walk in that calling in greater understanding and service to our family in Christ. Listen to my leading and I will reveal your true identity. 

Some are great leaders and were born to rule the nations. Some of you have sacred gifts of music and were born to lead my family in song and worship. Have you sat in prayer to ask me what your destiny is? Some of you might be surprised at my answer. Be led by me, my children, and your joy will be full. Leave off the things of men and the desires of the flesh. Strip down your responsibilities and focus on your walk with me. Now is the time to realign with me and all I have called you to become. Death is not an end or finish line, but a new beginning for those in Christ. Your lives upon the earth are an opportunity to get a jump start on our eternal relationship. Do not waste the opportunity, but live long and spiritually powerful lives.

Many of the things man strives for upon the earth are not of me. Set your affection on things above, my children, when the next life, that eternity with me begins, you will no longer strive to acquire anything. All will be provided and given freely. Developing relationships and seeking to bless will be your new goals. All will be laid bare and every thought manifested openly. Let my words be your guide to clarity in your walk today. Take this opportunity to reset your goals and direction and ask me, your Father and Maker, what shall I do for you? How shall I serve my brethren, and for what purpose was I born? All is not lost, my children, all is new. Be refreshed. Be renewed. Be released to your true identities. 

Today’s Written Word

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Psalm 18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Calling, klēsis = G2821: a calling, an invitation to vocation.

Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling G2821 of God are without repentance (ametamelētos = irrevocable:—without repentance, not to be repented of.

I Corinthians 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

I Corinthians 7:20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

II Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

A Word of Encouragement

We are encouraged by our loving God to know our calling in the body of Christ. We are to ask of Him what we are here on earth to do. No believer is called by God to be a “generic” follower of Christ. We are members in particular, and each one of us has a very specific purpose in the body of Christ. To set our affection on things above from Colossians 3:2, is to synchronize or be of the same mind and thoughts of those above, in the heavenlies and on high, and not with those who are earthly or worldly. Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father, God, and they together rule the heavens with all the holy host of angelic beings. Both the spoken Word and the written Word of God are from above, so that is where our thoughts are to be focused and aligned. All who have the spirit of God can hear Him. That is the very reason for Christ redeeming us and giving the gift of holy spirit, to have a RELATIONSHIP of living and talking to and hearing him and God!

An Action Item

For those who know who they are in Christ, and are on the path to fulfilling their true calling, can lean into all God inspires and go full strength ahead in obedience to Him. For those who are yet to discover their spiritual identity, or are unsure, sit in prayer and ask of God. Let Him speak to your spirit in His still quiet voice and communicate the direction and purpose of your life. It is not an easy thing to develop your ability to hear Him clearly, but is assuredly one of the most worthy endeavors of your life. Get connected today. We can do all God says, for we are all He says we are!
