YOUR HEAVENLY CALL pt. 2: Your gifts make a way for you

Blessings to you the Lord's Beloved!


   We read in the book of Romans 11:29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. This means they will not be taken away. I am hearing a yes, but....  I understand completely. You know your weaknesses and mistakes, your faults and failures.  So does God, and yet He loves us unconditionally and has called us by name for a purpose.

   We read in the Book of Numbers 23:19  "God is not man, that He should lie, or change His mind. Has He said, and will He not do?"  We trust God because we know He cannot lie. It is not in His nature. A matter of fact, it's nearly impossible for Him to lie. Because He is holy and there is no sin in Him. If sin were to be found in God, then we should not serve Him. He would be a liar and untrustworthy.

   In the Book of Jeremiah 1:5 we find the Lord says "I knew you before you were in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations." Before we were even in our mother's womb the Lord knew us. He knew our DNA, what our personality would be like, our weaknesses and strengths, our creative abilities, our intellectual structure, the potential of our characters, and our talents and gifts. The list goes on, but you get the idea.

   Of course He knows, He is our creator. He created us on purpose for a purpose. This must lend some kind of comfort to you. We don't have to try so hard to determine what we want to be when we grow up. A little humor, our age has nothing to do with the call and gifting the Lord has granted to us! The fact is, it has in more ways than one already presented itself to the world around us. Our friends and families, our siblings and co-workers.

   It is who we are in Christ and the things that come naturally to us. When we become one with Christ, He anoints and transforms our natural abilities into SUPER natural by His Holy Spirit operating and working in and through our lives, on behalf of Christ.

   You may want to keep a note book handy and begin to write down things that you know about yourself. Your likes and dislikes. Your hobbies and pass time pleasures. What are things that may motivate you? Your passions, things you'd like to change if you could in yourself, and the world around you. What is it that burns in your heart. How do you feel when you see injustices being committed? What is it that brings you joy? Do you like to lead or follow? Do you like the lime-light or would you prefer to blend into the grey?

   These are just a few examples of characteristics that may be helpful in zeroing in on your gifts and talents. This will be our inspiration board in order to better serve as a starting point for the direction you believe the Lord may be leading you in.

Leave a comment or email telling me what the Lord has put in heart and where you believe He's leading you. I'd love to hear from and encourage you anyway possible. Enjoy your journey in Him!


Many blessings to in Christ Jesus!
