THE CALLING PART II What is the HOPE of your CALLING? Do you picture going into a job or Ministry and having everything go according to plan? No bumps, all beauty and roses? From Genesis to Revelation the CALLING of GODS PEOPLE was bombarded with trials and hardship. But Always, they had the POWER of ELOHIM, the LORD of ALL Creation within them to Strengthen, Guide, Encourage and Empower them....for ALWAYS HIS MESSAGE MUST GO OUT, no matter the hardships. It was so then, and it will Continue to be so, Until HE is with HIS People for ALL ETERNITY. Then we will HAVE THE LIVING MESSAGE AMONG US.....THE WORD......THE TRUTH.....A COMPASSIONATE AND LOVING LORD. What Joy floods my heart when I think of it, as it should every Child of GOD. As the LORD was giving Instructions to the Disciples, they knew of some of the things that would face them, for they had been with YESHUA/JESUS on HIS teaching Journeys. But this was to be different, soon HE WOULD BE LEAVING THEM, TO GO TO THE CROSS and TO GO TO THE FATHER, and they had to know and be prepared for what lay ahead. When I was growing up, I was very naive, and had been protected, not only because I had not been out in the world, but I had three brothers who were around, and a very strict Daddy(I am so thankful he was). One day he talked to me in our store about some things to watch out for in the world. He was not crude or anything, he was just a Loving Father preparing me for some things I would face, for he had been out in the world and he knew what people were like. This is what YESHUA/JESUS did, as a Loving FATHER would do, HE told HIS Disciples things to do, and things to be aware of, for HE KNEW THE HEART OF MAN. And whosoever shall Not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. MATTHEW 10:14 Have you ever thought there comes a time to Walk Away. This is what the LORD is telling the Disciples to do. There are some people who Will NOT Believe....their heart is so hard. I never want to give up hope on someone, but our LORD KNEW THE HEART OF MAN. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of Judgment than for that city, Behold I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But Beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for MY SAKE, for a Testimony Against them and the Gentiles. MATTHEW 10:15-18 As I look back over my life, what Daddy told me, could not compare with some of the things I have had to go through in my life. When one has rose colored glasses on, they do not SEE or Want To Believe there is evil out there. I am sure the Disciples had seen a lot and heard a lot, for they were fishermen; But they had WALKED IN THE PRESENCE AND PROTECTION OF YESHUA/JESUS; just as I had walked in the protection of my Daddy and his reputation of Honesty and Integrity. They could not have imaged what lay ahead for them....but JESUS KNEW...and HE KNEW THE SUFFERING and ESTRANGEMENT they would have to go through. This Is Why HIS WARNING WAS SO STRONG. But when they deliver you up, take NO thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is NOT ye that speak, but the SPIRIT of your FATHER Which Speaketh IN YOU. MATTHEW 10:19-20 Just as when I speak to people, and you speak to people, a part of the things our Parents, Grandparents and Guardians have taught us comes out....the HOLY SPIRIT OF THE FATHER, would give the Disciples the Words to Speak....Words they had heard the SAVIOUR say, or Words filled with Power and Authority from ON HIGH. This is why it is SO IMPORTANT for us to TRAIN UP a child in the WORD OF GOD; This is why it is so IMPORTANT for us to BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOUR....for HE EMPOWERS us THROUGH HIS HOLY SPIRIT. Does some of this sound familiar to you? This is happening in Muslims countries today, even in supposed Christian Nations, people are being mocked for their STAND IN CHRIST. Times are TRYING now, but they will get Worse, and we Need To Be EQUIPPED With The WORD and POWER OF GOD. The Wonder of Studying the WORD of GOD and BEING TAUGHT BY HIM, is Impossible to Imagine, unless you have Experience it. And the Brother shall Deliver up the Brother to Death, and the Father the Child: and the Children shall rise up against their Parents, and cause them to be put to Death. And ye shall be Hated by all men FOR MY NAMES SAKE: but he that Endureth to the end shall be Saved. MATTHEW 10:21-22 These Disciples of our LORD Endured to the end, ever Faithful. The same is True for many today. This Warning our LORD gave HIS Disciples was Very Real and Needed and Heeded, and Many of HIS Disciples are still going through this today. They are Persecuted, Hunt down and Murdered, All Because THEY HAD A CALLING FROM THE MESSIAH...YESHUA/JESUS. They are no different than the Disciples who walked with YESHUA/JESUS physically...Their CALLING IS JUST AS REAL...IF you have a CALLING....IF you have been Separated From The World, Because you BELIEVE in THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Take HIS WORDS Seriously, THE WORLD WILL HATE YOU....BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER.....HE HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD....AND YOU HAVE A FUTURE AND A HOPE WITHIN YOU. PRAY FOR THE PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS. FATHER, LORD of ALL Creation, Bless, Teach and Protect YOUR Children all over the World; especially those who, not only Follow YOU, But PROCLAIM YOU. Thank YOU, that YOU hear my Prayer. IN THE BLESSED NAME OF YESHUA/JESUS. Amen. Be Blessed as you become a Student of the HOLY WORD OF GOD.
