You are called!

If you have felt the touch of God in your heart then you have been called by God! This is one call that you don’t want to hang up on or ignore!

Why do I say this? Because no one is sure of waking up or having a tomorrow morning. God loves you and He knows what you can do because He is the One Who created you and placed your talent in you. Each person that God has called, He has always equipped them with the ability to do what they have been called for. Whether it is preaching, teaching or just washing dishes you can be useful to God’s Kingdom.

I know that sounds crazy but God can use crazy sometimes. I mean He even made a donkey talk once so He can surely give you the talent and the ability to fulfill His calling on your life. Don’t turn away from His call. He sent Jesus to save humanity from their sinful natures and from the punishment that disobedience brings. All that you or I or anyone else has to do is recognize His touch on your heart, admit that you are a sinner and that you need Jesus as your Savior. Then believe in Him as your Savior and change your life to follow His teachings from the gospels.

When you pray…

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Matthew 6:7‭-‬8 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.6.7-8.KJV

Our world is in need of prayer because of all of the trouble in our world. From the diseases that spread so quickly to the wars and religious persecution, our world needs God’s help in many ways. Pray for our world.

Be more like Christ!

24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Galatians 5:24 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/gal.5.24.KJV

Life is given to us by Jesus Christ so that we could be His representatives in this world. We are supposed to take His gospel message with us wherever we are. We are not supposed to keep this message to ourselves, we are supposed to give it away. That’s why we are supposed to give it away. We were saved through faith in Jesus Christ and this message is the one that we are to tell others about.

He loved us first!

19 We love him, because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1jn.4.19.KJV

God takes care of us

13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:13 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/luk.11.13.KJV

Do good to one another

15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 1 Thessalonians 5:15 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1th.5.15.KJV

You must deny yourself

35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. Mark 8:35 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/mrk.8.35.KJV

If you feel alone…

Just pray! God is always with us no matter what we are going through.

When you are afraid…

3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. Psalm 56:3 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.56.3.KJV

All of us are afraid at some point in our lives. We may not admit it and we certainly won’t tell anyone that we are afraid…but deep down we are. It doesn’t matter if you are a police officer or a firefighter or in the Special Forces of the Military everyone feels fear. It is how we deal with it that defines our actions and our reactions in those situations. Courage is the control of our reaction to fear.

God is with us when we are afraid and if you are a Christian you have angels who are with you as your guard in front and behind you regardless of where you may be. So why are we afraid? Fear is one of the emotions that Satan uses to put doubts in our mind about God and His faithfulness. Fear can paralyze you and cause you to run when you should “be still and know that I am God“. Realize that whatever your circumstance and whatever may be causing you to fear something or someone…God is bigger than your fear and the cause of your fear!

God sent His Son, Jesus, to pay the price for your sins and mine so that we could be welcomed into His family. God determined that this would be necessary all the way back in the Garden of Eden, long before any of us were known or thought of by anyone except Himself. He knew that we would need a Savior and that Savior would have to be one of the Trinity…His Son. Jesus came to the Patriarchs as the Angel of the Lord or the Commander of the Lord’s Army. He was also the Rock from which the water flowed in the wilderness and the Bread from heaven that sustained them. In Babylon Jesus saved the three Hebrews who were thrown into the furnace by being the One that was “like a son of the gods” in their trial with them.

God is always with us in our trials, whatever they may be so when you feel fear or you are afraid for some reason…pray a prayer for God’s Presence to be near you and to guard you and give you the strength to face it and move on.
