A Higher Calling
There were men and women in The Bible who had high callings as prophets, apostles, pastors, teachers and evangelists.
There were others who were used by God to deliver entire nations. There were Kings, Queens, mighty warriors, intercessors, and a massive array of soldiers.
Every one of them started out as mere men and women until The LORD transformed their lives and used them in supernatural ways.
Many of you don’t realize that you also have a higher calling than what you are currently walking in now.
You are not pursuing this calling because you are trying to figure it out with your natural mind. The Holy Spirit once put a dream in your heart to be an evangelist, a prophet, or work with a youth ministry, but you didn’t discern that this was from The LORD. You are trying to discern your own thoughts from the voice of God.
In the book of Numbers 13:33 when the twelve spies went into the Promised Land, they reported to Moses: saying, “And there we saw the giants, and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”
Some of you are not moving forward into what The LORD has called you to because you are focusing on the giants rather than Jesus. You recognize that the land is flowing with milk and honey but you are afraid to pursue The LORD’s plan.
You see yourself as a grasshopper in comparison to the battles that you are facing. Jesus will give you victory over every giant that confronts you, and you will go in and possess your land.
Don’t look at the size of the giant. Just as David slayed Goliath, you are well able to destroy every adversary that rises up against you.
In Judges 6, The LORD called Gideon. He went and sat under an Oak tree to hide from the Midianites and the Amalekites after they attacked Israel and left them impoverished. It’s interesting that this was the same place where David slayed Goliath.
The LORD sent an angel to Gideon and said The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor. Gideon replied: if The LORD is with me, why did all these terrible things happen?
The LORD turned towards him and said; “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites . Have I not sent you?”
Some of you are hiding from The LORDs will as Gideon did. You are exhausted from all the warfare, but you need to realize that if The LORD sent you, and He will give you the strength to complete your course. Jesus is saying: “Rise up mighty man of valor”, “Rise up mighty woman of valor.” He will use you to save others from the grip of disaster.
The LORD is saying: “Do not to allow the enemy to magnify the situations in your life, and don’t look at the giants as unconquerable.
Do not see yourself as inadequate but know that with Me you are able to take on any assignment that I have called you to do.
Go forth as Joshua and Caleb knowing that you are well able to possess this land. Go forth in what I have commissioned you to do,” says The LORD.
“And the Angel of The LORD appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!” Judges 6:12
“We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak came from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them,” Numbers 13:33
“I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 (TPT)
