Walk in your Calling!
“Walk in your calling
and all these things
will be added to you!”
I am going to say something here that may be a bit controversial, but I have seen this and known it to be true.
When God created the earth and us and all that is in it, He created every creature to do what He called it to do. When men rebelled and sinned against God by eating of the tree, he lost his place and began to die. He thought he knew what his place was, but he found out that God knew what He was talking about when He said “Let them have Dominion.”
God told them that because of this, they would work by the sweat of their brow and that was a part of the curse. But thanks to the blood of Jesus, we are no longer under the curse!
Take Dominion
God has given us dominion, by giving us a calling in this life. That calling includes our measure of rule, (our sphere of influence), our gifts, and talents and all that He has created us to be.
The LORD spoke to me one day and said, “All of My creation just does what it is supposed to do (the birds do what they are supposed to do and the animals by nature do what they are supposed to do etc….) So I just feed them, cloth them and take care of their needs as long as they stay in what I have called them to.
But My people, who have a choice, do not stay in that which I have called them to, and so they subjected their dominion and all that is in their measure of rule to death and destruction including their bodies. So I cannot support this and they do not have what they need!” Find your calling and your area of dominion and stay in it!”
“Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?
For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.
But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides,” Matthew 6:31-33 (AMPC).
Manifest Sons Arise!
“If they would get in their calling and seek My Kingdom and not their own, then they would have all that they need that pertains to life and godliness, and all that they need would be added to them!
I AM looking for the manifest sons to arise in the earth so that all things will be restored in this day!
If you spend all of your time seeking for things to keep you alive and pay your bills any other way but doing what I have called you to do, then you are not seeking the Kingdom!
This is not how My kingdom operates! I long to meet every need that you have if you will just do what I have created you to do!
Seek My Kingdom first! If that includes a job, then do that. If it includes being a good wife and mother, then do that! If it is preaching and teaching, being a pastor, or prophet etc… then do that!
But move in your calling and all that you go after to live shall be simply added to you!”
“[But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and ] for us and conferred on us!
For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].
For the creation (nature) was subjected to ]frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it — [yet] with the hope
That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God’s children.
We know that the whole creation [of irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now.”
And not only the creation, but we ourselves too, who have and enjoy the firstfruits of the [Holy] Spirit [a foretaste of the blissful things to come] groan inwardly as we wait for the redemption of our bodies [from sensuality and the grave, which will reveal] our adoption (our manifestation as God’s sons),” Romans 8:18-23 (AMPC).
