God never goes back of His Word, and when He calls we must answer that call, in order to live a life that is full and filled with the true riches of His Grace. Romans 11:29 (New American Standard Bible (©1995) “…for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable”. The (King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) of this verse states: “…for the gifts and calling of God are without repentance”. Nothing can separate us from the Love of our Heavenly Father, including any person. However, a person can stop the Hand of God in their own life, by choose to stop the Hand of God, by allowing hindrances to stop what God is doing in their life. Hindrances come in many forms and everyone is presented with possible hindrances on a Dailey basis, but one must choose not to allow those hindrances to stop the Hand of God, from completing the work of His Spirit within one’s own mind and heart. Hebrews 12:1 (King James Version) “…let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us…” I like the Amplified version of this scripture which states: “…let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us…” First, anything in one’s life that Hinders, Entangles, or Enslaves, becomes sin, because Hindrances, Entanglements, and Enslavements separate one from God and the Life of God freely flowing James 4:17 (King James Version (KJV) “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin”. Secondly, due to the fact that one has within their own power and ability to strip off, lay aside, and throw away every Hindrance, Entanglement, and Enslavement that stops one’s growth in God and God’s completing the work within the lives of those who choose to follow after His Divine Will in their life, and not after their own fleshly desires, but give themselves completely 100% to the Calling of God to receive of Him all the great treasures that are not temporal, and revealing His everlasting character and life within one’s mind and heart. Thirdly, to obey the call of God in one’s life is to run the race, on the particular track that God has placed each believer. Hebrews 12:1 “… and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us…” Running with Patience and Endurance, requires one to examine Daily one’s own particular Race to see if anything or anyone in hindering, entangling, or enslaving of one’s time, resources, or energy and enthusiasm. Endurance is that quality of doing what is necessary in one’s own life to strip off, lay aside, and throw away any and all hindrances. Remember that God requires our best and highest, and He provides the Grace to run in the race, but we must want Him above anything else, because our God is a jealous God and a Consuming Fire, within our hearts and lives. Hebrews 12: 25-29 (KJV) “See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire”.
