How many of us have been called to go out!!!!! It happens in the life of any believer destined to do great things in life!!! Enjoy July 15th's notes!!
A Call OUT
Genesis 12:1 “ Leave your country, your people, and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.”
Your journey with God and your new surrender to Him will always call you out. Anytime God wants to promote you and take you higher He will always call you out. It’s not necessarily a geographical shift or call but a shift & move in the Spirit.
God calls you out of familiar settings, out of old mindsets, out of old habits, out of old traditions and out of old patterns.
Coming out is always uncomfortable. Do you believe in God enough to allow yourself to be willingly uncomfortable?
Could you imagine Abrams conversation with his wife??? It would have gone something like this:
Abram: Wife, we are going!!
Sarai: where?
Abram: I don’t know!
Sarai: How will we know when we get their??
Abram: I don’t know!
Sarai: Who told you to leave?
Abram: This God I just met!!
Sarai: How long will it take??
Abram: I don’t know!!
When Abram heard the message he was not only convinced but thoroughly convicted that the author of the message would not steer him wrong. Abram did not believe in God up to a certain point; he gave in a surrendered to God and the call 100%
Lot represents all those people in your life that out of sympathy they have come along in the journey but do not belong!! Lot was not part of the call and he ended up being a detour and a hindrance in Abrams life. Do you have any Lots in your life??
A call out from God guarantees that He is calling you INTO something better than where you were!! God is constantly calling us from “glory to glory, mountaintop to mountaintop, and from one level to another higher one.
The call is point “A.” Where He is taking you is point “Z.” So that will automatically tell you that there is a lot of trusting and unknown trials in the middle. God has orchestrated: wilderness time, cleansing time, stretching time, crushing time, battle time, to ultimately take you to victory time!!! Romans 8: 17b says “ if we are to share His glory we are to share his suffering.” Remember …..please remember that in ALL things God works for the good of those who love Him!! I don’t know where you are in your call but take heart!!!!!! If God called you He will also give you the GRACE to lead you, strengthen you and be your endless supply!!!! It’s time to GO!
