Title answering the call of God somebody say answering the call of God Today I want to minister to you as a message that is universal for all that were called upon the name of Jesus all those who were Called God their heavenly father who have come to know his son in the pardon of their sins the body of Christ every one of these points apply to each and every one of us that we’ll find in answering the call of God clap your hands for our children on the way out
Amen many of us we think of the call of God as a one-time event um as a single moment when we heard his voice and responded as Eli did to his son given to him by the woman of God he told his Samuel to go back and that voice that you heard call
You because it wasn’t me it must be the Lord tell them here am I his servant hears and so people see that from that first calling they believe that’s the only time that God calls and he hearkened back to it as if it’s the only time yes it’s the
Initial encounter It’s usually the most significant because it’s necessary in the formation in your formation for everyone to know when they were saved when God called you I may not know uh when God activated motivated his Spirit moved upon your heart and you were convicted whether it was during a sermon
Or whether it was at your house by yourself whatever time that was that was the first call and there are many more to follow but at least these four that I’ll speak about today so while that initial encounter is undoubtedly significant I want to share with you this powerful
Truth that answer in God’s call is not just an event it is a continuous and transformative lifestyle for every believer you have to answer the call of God when it comes just as a a river flows it winds its way through different places that’s how God’s called does
Through the SE seasons of Our Lives it flows through and is not a destination we reach once and just forget about it it’s a path that we walk daily it’s a journey that shapes us it refines us and it calls us to his deeper purpose for our
Lives so today we’re going to explore and looking to how answering God’s call is not just about the past uh or the future it’s about how we respond here and now right now our everyday choices our everyday relationships our everyday actions what we choose to do who we
Choose to be in our everyday life that Embrace of God’s calling on a continuous basis on a daily basis as a continuous process is what would lead to a fulfilling and fruitful life and a source of Joy growth and meaning in our lives and this message certainly is
Tailored for that purpose because there are far too many brothers and sisters in Christ who have fallen along the way who have found themselves being unfruitful in the knowledge and work of our Lord Jesus Christ and so if you ever felt stuck in a room that you can’t get out of this message
Is for you and God bless everyone who’s watching online we BL bless God for you we pray that everybody would share this and certainly share it on my stream as well uh share it uh like it and subscribe so that you can get the alert
Uh whenever we go live with the word of the Lord and certainly this may be a blessing to someone who is on your timeline as well you don’t know whether they’re waiting for this word in particular all right the the the the main purpose the the main person I want
To take for example to to put out and highlight for this message of answering the call of God is one that we all should know he is our father uh is the father of Faith by the name of Abraham his name was initially Abraham Abram he
Was a son of a an idol worker and so you have to know that coming up in a heathen uh background worshiping multiple gods that for any God to break through and become the one true God the only God to someone has to be a great
Advent God was looking in the Earth for someone for someone who could walk this thing out and become an example for all that would follow him he was looking for one man who he could find to be faithful in his discourse looking for one man that he could use his body to become
Become the seed Bearer The Seed so that it could bear fruit after time and bring forth this Christ and so Abraham was this seed line that he chose to use now Abraham he had a journey in God and the first word to the Lord Genesis 12 And1
It reads now the Lord said to Abram go or get ye from your what out of the thy country and from thy Kindred and from thy Father’s House unto a land that I will show thee and I will make of thee a great nation and I will bless thee and
Make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing and I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed so Abram Departed as the Lord had spoken to him and lot went with
Him and Abram was 70 and5 years old when he departed out of Haron now from that last verse what you should notice is that there’s never a time too late there’s never a moment too late to hear the voice of the Lord you may be a thief on the
Cross while someone else is is what is harassing the man who has the power and authority to bring you down off of it yes sir and you will hear that this day will you be with me what in Paradise you get the point that there’s never too
Late a time to hear the voice of God and so whether you go to someone who was out in uh in the streets or maybe you go to a nursing home it is never too late for somebody to hear the what voice of God I’m not saying that they’re going to
Leave what their land modern day Ira Iraq and what and leave and go to what to Canaan land but I’m saying that what they can go to the what spiritual Canaan land they can find themselves in heaven in the place of Paradise in God’s presence in the bosom of the
Lord so you have to know that that no matter who it is what their background what their age is there’s no discrimination when it comes to what this word of God that God can save by many or by few God can save what young and old God Saves what’s his
Name what’s his name well y’all say it like y’all don’t have no power my God like there’s no power in the name of what Jesus glory be to God see It’ll have the power that you would put in it meaning that if that is what Jesus is
To you then that’s going to be something what Great and Powerful but when you wh about your what your problems your situation your circumstance you tell what you tell everybody how big your problem is with your chest but say Jesus like he what he’s a little itty bitty baby in the
Manger like he still what that that shrivel up man on the cross like the Catholics hold him up there right so you have to what know that what there’s power in the name of what Jesus let this build your faith Abraham had to leave his own home
To go to a place that God would show him you have to understand that what that many times frankly you can’t even get in the car with your kid children without them asking where we going when we going to get there are we there yet are we
There yet right here it is he says what get out of your your land get away from your Kindred get away from your folks and go to a place that I’ll tell you about later just start traveling in the direction I’m told I told you to do
So that’s a what a faith walk because I have to trust that voice that is spoken to me I have to trust that he is not going to lead me around wrong wrong or Lead Me C and I posit to you that many times when God’s voice comes to us that we
Would uh push it back we’ll push back against it we’ll push back against a still quiet voice we’ll push back against the nudging the gentle nudging then before you know it Calamity fall all the way around you and block every other path except the way that God told you to what
To go in the first place well I guess this must be the will of God anybody ever been there okay I ain’t alone so so what happens that that you start seeing that what that that things dry up where you are and now you have to
Pick up and move what elsewhere so why should we sit here and die while others live Abraham response was immediate and it was faithful he left behind his family he left behind his homeland he went on his journey into the unknown simply because he heard God’s
Call what you have to learn from Abraham is that it’s going to take you leaving your comfort zone in order for you to be in God’s will it’s going to take you leaving your comfort zone and trusting in his guidance and being willing to step into the unknown with
Faith because without faith it is what impossible to please him for anyone who comes to God must first believe that he is and that he is a what a rewarder for them that diligently seek him well that’s not the only time that that Abraham just he he showed uh a a a
A a a an ability inate not an inate ability but an ability to hear God’s word hear God’s call and to follow after it this was continuous Abraham had a problem you already see he’s old his wife was what oh and now God gave him this promise
That out of in the all nations of the earth GNA be blessed was let’s look at Genesis 15 and 5 look at what he says to Abraham he says and he brought him forth abroad and said now Abraham this is God talking to Abraham look now towards the
Heaven look up and tell the Stars if thou be able to number them and he said unto him so shall thy seed be now here’s a amazing thing if you look up at the stars and somebody tell you your seed’s going to be like that and you have no
Children do you have this response verse six and he believed in the Lord and he counted it to him for righteousness is there anybody who will believe God despite the fact that you don’t have anything that shows you that is what that his word is going to be true despite natural impossibility of
Having children in his old age Abraham believed God’s promise he responded in faith and trust he just believed god well God you said it I believe it and what that settles it and this this belief God said he counted it unto him as what righteousness now you’re in
Right standing with me because you believe me for my word my goodness see we we have righteousness imputed unto us because we have Jesus we haven’t had to what to walk this thing out like Abraham did the grace of God was with us we were able to see the
Whole story two happened 2,000 years ago we come on the scene and we read it all in the book and we see it and we have the what the witness of it we have the testimony of it we understand that what Jesus came live died was buried Rose
Third day and now what the whole world is full of his glory because of what this this gospel that those disciples believed and what went after it so we have so many many more evidences of the fact that God is what true than anybody than Abraham did but
Abraham believed God even when there was nothing to believe God for he believed the voice of God and he answered the call of God on his life Abraham continues to teach us that answering God’s call it often involves holding on to God’s promises even when the circumstances seem hopeless and
Believing that God is faithful to fulfill his word anybody ever been in a position where you have seen the what a hopeless situation and you had to believe God against hope that God will what step in in the nick of time and what and and work that situation out for
You is there anybody in the house tonight that what that knows that God is able to what work out his best work in what the Hopeless situations that in order for God to what do a miracle all he needs is a miracle situation present and so your hopeless situation is God’s
Place to what do his best work but will you believe God in it are you able to answer the call of God in the midst of it Abraham had the the little thing happened with Hagi Sarah wasn’t on board just yet go on into your servant the
Concubine see if you can work that situation out came out with a ishmail more problems okay now she say what she said but it look like you’re working let’s see if God can work on me now I laughed at him but now what the laugh
The Joke is on on me see I laughed before and now what now the joke is on me so let me go ahead and what see what God can do and out comes what the child of Promise Isaac the very seed the very corn of seed the corn of wheat that can
Fall in the ground and die right unless it unless it fall into the ground and die it abides alone but if it dies if it dies to its own will it brings forth what much fruit and so that’s what we have to do we have to do our own will so
That what God can bring forth much fruit to his account but Abraham believed him he said it counted it unto him as righteousness but now you have Isaac and Ishmael in the same house ishmail gets kicked out with with the Bond woman God makes him promise there but then now the
Seed of promises come forth but then we come to a circumstance where God what gives another word God’s for voice is still speaking speaking and you get to Genesis 22 and we see that God calls Abraham to offer the very son that he just what promised him and just
Brought forth miraculously he told him to offer him as a sacrifice well you can see in Genesis 1 and Genesis 22 And1 it says and it came to pass after these things that God did tempt Abraham God tested God tried Abraham and said unto him Abraham y’all reading with me and he
Said what behold here am I am okay verse two and he said take now thy son thine what only son Isaac whom thou lovest and get thee into the land of Mariah and offer him therefore a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee
Of verse three and Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his ass and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son and clav the wood for the burnt offering and Rose up and went unto the place which God had told him you have God now coming
To Abraham and telling him to do something that doesn’t seem quite Godly you mean you want me to go and offer my only son that I love as a what a burnt offering I have to ma imagine that this messed with his theology you know you had Molech during that time you had
People who were offering their children uh to the god of Molech taking taking them and and these you can see these things now Greg you with me you can see these things now that what that people are what are now take uh have have the very you can search it out online look
Up Mo and you can see they have what gods that are made out in brass whatnot and their hands held out that they could bring their children and put it in his hands now these what brass objects are are heated up put on fire and the
Children are what are burned in it and that’s the what that’s the sacrifice or the offering that Molech desires this is what people were doing and what did what what did the prophets come and tell them what did the what the word of the Lord come to them and tell them thou
Shall not allow thy Sons thy daughters to pass through the what fire of Molech he doesn’t want any what human sacrifice well that’s a conundrum now because we now know on the backside that what Jesus is what the Son of God and he was offered as a
Sacrifice well see that has to do with what God’s prerogative when God steps in and gives his prerogative then it’s what all right every other what situation is not what not worthy of what sacrifice to our God and then he tells you to make yourself a what an offering of sacrifice
But he wants it to be a what Living Sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God which is your what reasonable Serv service you haven’t done anything special live for me nothing re nothing unreasonable about that because I not only lived a sinless impeccable life for you I actually died for you I laid down
My life for you because now all the penalty that was against you the death penalty that was against you I took it on to myself is what Jesus says so that now the righteousness that I have in me from doing it all right now you’ve been been imputed the righteousness upon
You by faith in my perfect work anybody happy about that anybody excited about that glory be to God I having saved people in the house today that are actually excited about the fact that what that God saved you just by having what belief faith in what his perfect work
Yeah but that wasn’t the end of God talking because God came with another word god came with another word and it came in verse 10 verse 10 it says that that uh and when Abraham stretched forth his hand he took forth what the Knight to what slay his
Son and Abra and the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven and said Abraham Abraham and he said what here am I and he said lay not thine hand upon the lad neither do anything unto him for now I know that thou fearest God seeing
That thou has not withheld thy son thine only son from me see it makes sense now that he would have Abraham go through this exercise because God knew in his mind that this is what he would have to do with what his only begotten son behold my beloved Son in whom I’m
Well pleased Jesus had not done any work baptized by John at the Jordan no Works been done yet he says what behold my beloved Son in whom I’m well pleased he ident ID ified himself what in his son that’s my son I love him he’s my what beloved ain’t done nothing yet but
Here it is he’s my beloved Son and I’m well pleased in him glory be to God been a long time since he could say that been a long time since he could say I’m W walking in the what Garden in the cool of the day seeing if I can have communion with my
Son cuz you remember Adam was was the son of what God now you get it all right and so so here it is you have what Jesus who is what the Beloved son and what you see God had to give his son up the father had to give his son so
That we might have what right to the tree of life so we might what have peace with God so that the death penalty of his word that was carried out that any soul that sins shall surely what die what if he’s imputed what unrighteousness on every man by Adam’s
One man’s Disobedience then how much more would the righteousness of man be when he is what imputed the righteousness of God by Jesus Christ but God works in types and antitypes so we can see in the Old Testament the types we can see the shadows of things of good things that
Were to come and so we see that what a shadow of Isaac being a type of Jesus a type of Jesus that was what laid down and what just like Jesus what father where is your sacrifice if it be possible father let this what cup pass from
Me Abraham Daddy this is Isaac talking to him where bound up where is the what the sacrifice I see the wood I see you have everything prepared where’s the sacrifice what does Abraham say in faith God will prepare will provide himself what a sacrifice and that’s where you
Get what Jehovah jyra God will provide how many know your God will provide the angel said lay not your hand on the lad I know you fear God you wouldn’t withhold your son your only son for me you love me that much verse 13 and Abraham lifted up his eyes and
Looked and behold behind him a ram in the thicket by his horns and Abraham went and took the RAM and offered him for a burnt offering in the stead of his son somebody clap your hands for the ram in the bush the ram in the thicket God what providing for himself
One thing I want to stop and and point out here is that God gave Abraham a word he said to go and offer your son on this what mountain that I’m going to show you and Mariah but then God comes back and he tells him what stop stay your hand
Don’t offer your son on this on this place that I told you to do it on so my question to you today is can you handle a second word from God can you handle when God comes back and what changes things up from what you thought before
Cuz many times God has his own purpose and plans and intent because man has his what his plans in heart but the what the the the execution of it will be from the Lord you have to know that you trust in God in all your ways acknowledge Him and
He will what direct your path so you have to know that what that God is always leading us and he’s giv us an abiding presence for us to what have so that we can lead be led by him in his perfect will yes I know that’s what God told you
But what is God telling you right now are you able to take the second word from God what he’s telling you to do what right now I know he told you to go there but when but but now what he told you what to leave can you handle a second word from
God verse 14 and Abraham called the name of the place Jehovah Gyra as it said to this day in the mountain of the Lord it shall be seen God provided for him because he listened to the second word he got the provision from the second word see see when you
Listen to just the first word and you stop there the second word is the death of your only begotten son the second word is the death of your your future the second word is a what is a life for your future right because the seed was what in a in Abraham which came
Out in Isaac and now that seed had to what come out of Isaac in order to continue to bring forth the Christ that’s the only way that what all the nations of the earth will be blessed so here it is he had to what listen to the
Second word because if he listened to the first word it be the death of the very promise of God on his life and the angel of the Lord called unto Abram verse 14 Out of Heaven a second time and said by myself have I sworn say the Lord for because thou Hast
Done this thing and H has not witheld thy son thine only son that in blessing here it is he confirms the very blessing that he had on his life in blessing I Will Bless thee and in multiplying I will will multiply thy seed as the stars
Of the heaven and as the sand which is upon the seashore and thy seed shall possess the Gate of his enemies how many know that what that you are the Seed of Abraham by Christ Jesus that we are hes and Joint HS with Christ because what of
The promise and we shall possess the Gate of our enemies how many know that God what can give you the victory over the enemy somebody clap your hands and give God a praise open your mouth and glorify your God which is in heaven he said Verse 18 and in v
Notice because when we get to Romans we’ll see the Apostle Paul made this distinction for what the Jews so that they recognized the salvation of Gentiles was included in this he said in thy seed he said that seed was not plural to mean the whole nation of
Israel that nation that that seed was what singular that seed meant Jesus Christ in thy seed see there was a Gateway essentially the seed is going down a what a sing single pathway once it hits Christ now it opens up the Jews and Gentiles all that believe him by
Faith and now it explodes and now we become like the what the sins of the sea or we become like the stars of the air why of the sky why because it is through faith in Jesus Christ that every one of us who are born- again Believers now
Become the promise of God to Abraham why because thou Hast obeyed my voice he answered the call of God on his life Hallelujah somebody so Abraham he just he demonstrated this this ability to trust in his God this trust in God he he he he believed God even against the very impossible I know there something you
Have that you hold dear that you don’t want to give up for nobody even God even though God gave it to you that’s your Isaac and God says what that’s the only thing that stand up between me and blessing you but because you decided that that’s
Going to be your idol that your seed going to be your idol instead of what God now you’re going to have what problem with the very God who blessed you with it and the same thing that he blessed you with now becomes your curse why because when you do not use
Something appropriately it becomes misuse or abuse in this story of Abraham we see that we have to be able to answer the call of God on our lives and let me show you the calls of God that are on every believer’s life that I told you
Before the first is that we have to answer each of these calls and the first is to answer answer the call of Salvation the first we need to do is answer the call of Salvation Romans 10 and nine says this that if Thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus and Sh believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead Thou shalt be saved for with the heart man believ unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation there is a need for us to answer the call to Salvation now I know all y’all
Sa folks in here y’all what are all right with God because you answer the call to Salvation good job Welcome To The Kingdom right you made it what into the kingdom bless God for you you believe what by faith in the perfect work of Christ you didn’t want you didn’t
Believe that what your own own works are able to what save you you recognize that you’re a sinner and on your way to hell but God who was rich in his mercy and his great love where which he loved you he reached way down to pick you up and
Take you what out of the pit and put you right right in the king’s Palace somebody should be happy about that and glorify your God because of it see you see that is what the answer of call answering the call to Salvation you have to answer the call of Salvation
In order to get into the kingdom now the problem comes in number two the second point because once you’ve accepted that call of Salvation now you’ve been what now you’ve been birthed into the kingdom now you’re what a citizen of the kingdom and now you have
What like the iine Visas now right you know when people come from other countries they need a iine to be able to work it says they have a what a social security so they can be taxed and everything else right that they’re legal to work in this what country well many
People are what are aliens and they’re trying to work in God’s kingdom and it won’t work you get the point many people are illegal operating in God’s what kingdom but they’re not what his so when it’s time for what for us to all go together and get our reward now he says
What depart from me your work was what iniquity you are what work of iniquity I never knew you right so you have to understand that what that this call call to Salvation is a call to relationship and if you don’t have a true relationship with Jesus Christ if you don’t have a
True relationship with the father then he says you are none of his if you have not the spirit of Christ you are what none of his so those Blood Bought Spirit-filled Believers are those that I’m talking to who have answered the call of Salvation okay answer the
Call of Salvation that’s number one then number two you need to answer the call to the Great Commission somebody say answer the call to the Great Commission yeah so this is the problem we get hung up on because we got many people who we understand if they don’t
Answer the call to Salvation they what dying their sins they’re going to hell and many of our family people that we call family and friends are what of those of those ilk and we know it but won’t do what this number two if because if you really thought about it you can
Really think about how intentional you are about this Great Commission you will see and you will know whether or not you are truly working to what to see that your brothers your sisters your cousins your aunt your uncles your grandma your granddaddy are what in the Kingdom your
Neighbor your coworker you will be what intentional about their soul being saved but if you’re not honoring the Great Commission you’re not what answering the call of God on your life well let’s see what what the Great Commission says Matthew 28:19 it says go
Ye all right go ye that means you got to go somewhere that mean you got to get out of the comfort zone just like he told what Abraham get up from where where you are get up from sitting down God can’t use you what sitting down go
Ye therefore and what teach All Nations don’t matter what the background is not just black people cuz you’re black not just white people cuz you’re white even though what you may be concentrated in an area anybody what can receive the Gospel you should not be prejudiced about those who what receive the Gospel
You should give it to all people all nations he says teach All Nations doing what baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost now hold it there when was the last time somebody you took the gospel to was baptized
Some of us crying inside like the baby right now because you don’t remember a time that you’ve told somebody about the gospel and they were baptized why because you have not fulfilled the Great Commission somebody else cared enough to what take you down in the water somebody
Cared another to take you down because going into the water is about the what purifying of a conscience it’s a conscience towards God it is saying that what I identify with Jesus Christ and his burial this is a wary Gra that I’ve gone down into so that now I come up in
The newness of life and the life I live is not only mine but it’s what Christ who lives Inside so you’ve had the experience you’ve been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus and now you come up and you say what forget about everybody else I don’t care whether they what go down in the water that’s not important that’s that religious stuff when he says what
Go ye therefore teach All Nations baptizing them in the name of the the father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost and Peter comes right back around and says what repent and be ye baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your
Sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost cuz there’s a promise that go to you your children and to as many as what the Lord Our God shall call what are we saying you can’t have the father without the son and if you
Going to have the son the spirit is going to have to work on your heart so what the father son Holy Spirit working right right there together and when you go down in Jesus name you are identifying with the one who is able to what give you right get you right with the Father he says now even when you do that now are you teaching them verse 20 verse2 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and lo I am with you always even until the end of the world Amen see see that amen just just puts a what puts a chair
On top it says what that I agree with what I’m just say what I just said because see he says what teach them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you so all he’s told you to do this is what you’re supposed to tell them to do this is what we call
Discipling you can’t execute a Great Commission get people saved and then leave them what leave them to be pray for the enemy who are you doing life with who are you walking with who are you helping out with their life that they’re able to what grow in grace and the knowledge of
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ if you’re not doing so you’re not fulfilling the Great Commission many times people are not fulfilling the Great Commission because they are not have not been discipled themselves they haven’t had somebody walk alongside them and try to correct them or maybe they are what bastards
Excuse me illegitimate children is the term bastard is use in Hebrews okay but but it is what illegitimate children those who cannot stand correction those who cannot be what corrected or chastised he said a bastard child despise CH uh despise the chasing of the
Lord he says if I can’t correct you if I can’t make you be conformed to what who I am and what I am then you can have no parts in me so if you haven’t been discipled it’s going to be difficult for you to disciple someone else but for you to be
Discipled you have to be in subjection to divine order that means you have to have a pastor a Shepherd not somebody who’s a pastor of a church of the church you go to or you attend but someone who’s actually able to what look over your soul and tell you what to
Do that’s too controlling okay bless God for you let’s see how how controlling what uh taking a pot out taking what taking a plant out of a pot and just letting it grow all while with with everything else outside of it weeds and everything get up and before you
Know it it’s get choked out that’s what it is right see that what you see is control is actually protection and it’s because that order is left the church of and the house of God that we have disorder present where people just run wild and are free
Radicals and do whatever they want to do and because that is the case people don’t grow in Christ and they’re not fruitful in Christ so they will come to service time and time again day after day week after week month after month year after year decade after
Decade and have absolutely no fruit to their account where you can’t even think back in your mind who you’ve invited to come to service with you because it wasn’t intentional it wasn’t in your mind to do because you’re are not fulfilling the Great Commission but those who fulfill
The Great Commission you see them fruitful you see them what you see them proud happy you see them working you see them what they happy about what don’t see see you don’t need to look long right now because everybody who who Who’s fulfilling the Great Commission
Should be happy right about now you know how what how pleasing it is when you’re what you’re actually helping people grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ you know how what how it feels when you got when you’ve been working on somebody for like 15 years like my frat
Brother 15 years I worked with them I worked on them planting seeds putting the fish out there got the hook in and say praise God come on here one of my fat brothers died and that was the day that he walked out and gave his life to Christ how you
Think how happy you think I am am I’m glorifying God but if you’re not intentional about your seeds if you’re not intentional about ministering to others if you come up with some ideology that says that what that the only evangelist in the church is going to be the
Pastor or that because I’m not called by title evangelist I’m not one everybody is an evangelist everybody is evangelist because of the Great Commission it’s the way we were able to get the gospel and way we have to give it to others all right I beat you up enough
With with the Great Commission that’s Point number two see that that’s another part of the answering the what Call of God you have to answer the call of the Great Commission here’s the third point the third point is to answer the call to utilize your god-given gifts all right God ain’t stopped
Calling yet the answer the call somebody say to answer the call to utilize your god-given gifts for everyone who’s baptized into this what this spirit of God the Holy Ghost anybody got it I got it the holy ghost power the holy ghost power do you want it do you
Want it the holy ghost power the holy ghost ghost power I need it I need it the holy ghost power the Holy Ghost stay there to the altar go stay there till go stay there stay there till you get the Holy Ghost Power oh let me sing it again I got it I
Got it the holy ghost power the holy ghost power I need it want the Holy Ghost ghost power the holy ghost power I need it I need it the holy ghost ghost the holy ghost power go back back to the altar go back to the altar down down on your knees down on
Your knees stay there stay there till you get the Holy Ghost High yeah see y see see we get happy about singing it right singing those songs but do you get happy when that Holy Ghost start to what to give you the unction when it tell you what to do when
It tell you what not what to do you see the Holy Ghost is this abiding presence it’s the spirit of the Lord God himself that is in you resting and remaining leading guiding comforting pericet helper teaching not of his own but of what Christ has said and if the
Same spirit that raised Christ from the dead be in you and dwell in you it says he will Quicken he’ll make alive your mortal bodies so anything dead need to be buried or resurrected and the only thing going to bring it up is the what Holy Ghost the power of the what Holy
Ghost anybody got it praise God praise God somebody got the Holy Ghost well this is a spirit that what that came to indwell you at your time of your first belief when you believe the spirit had to move upon your heart because you can’t come to Christ unless the spirit
Draw you and he says I’ll raise you up in the last day so it’s that holy ghost power that you need to what Quicken you and to Quicken your mortal bodies and that is a spirit that dwells in you to give you the gifts and divide severally
1 Corinthians 12 says to divide severly to you as he will so he empowers you to be a gift to the body whatever your gifting is Apostle Prophet evangelist Pastor teachers Ministers of help governments right you have ministers help you have people who are in different parts of the body and none are
None are what all the same but God says what the spirit will divide severly to you that the spirit will give you the gifting that he wants you to have and then he has what these nine gifts of the spirit that he says he’ll he’ll cause a
Drop down in you you’ll have what the spirit of Faith Spirit of Miracles you have what the spirit of what of Prophecy Spirit of word of knowledge you have the you have you have all of these what giftings that God gives you the gift of healing that God puts in you God gives
You these gifts and many of us will sit down on them unfortunately the reason why people don’t see healings by their hands is it because God doesn’t want to heal it’s because people don’t want to put themselves in a position where they pray for somebody and God doesn’t heal
Them well can I help you there that if that is what one of your your your drawbacks one of the things that keeps you from what praying for someone let me help you there healing is God’s Province only he does it and he does it when he
Wants to how he wants to he’s sor he’s God he just says he uses what you as a conduit to do so so whether you pray and God decides not to do so is up to God not you but you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you see God do it through
You when you lay hands on the sick and they recover when God what gives a miracle in a situation that seems what totally hopeless when God gives you a word for someone a word of knowledge that you had no way of knowing anything about them but you begin to speak into their lives
Something that what only they would know and they say how do you know this this must be God speaking to me and it what encourages them in the faith when you have a Word of Wisdom that seems like prophecy but it’s not it’s a wisdom that tells you what
The end will be before it is because what it is what a Divine proverb that God gives in in your spirit or you a foretell what will happen these are what gifts that God gives to the body how many want to have the gifts flowing in your life the gifts working
In your life how many want that working in your life you don’t want to be dried up but the way you do so is by not taking water and throwing it it on your fire you cannot throw take water and throw it on the fire the word of God
Says quench not the spirit you cannot quench the holy ghost in your life I don’t care what it is you cannot what quench the Holy Ghost you have to what have the spirit active in your life and it’s active in your life because what when you’re what iron sharp is iron and
When you’re around people who what who got the fire it what it rubs off on you but when you’re around people who are what Dy and dead when there a valley of dead bones it will dry it will rub rub off on you and you will take on that same
Culture and unfortunately it is permeating the house of God where where pretty soon God says what y’all have what quenched the spirit so much that now I picked up my bags and I’ve left and wrote ikabog the glory of the Lord has departed and you’re still what
Having service but what God’s spirit is gone and it’s not because what Holy Ghost is not here here is because what you won’t allow God to what to soften your heart Harden Hearts Harden Hearts have kept the spirit of God from what from because see that’s what he does he
Told what them in Ezekiel he said I take out the Heart of Stone and I’ll put in the heart of Flesh and I’ll what I’ll write my what law on the table of your heart I’ll put my spirit upon you it’s the spirit of the Lord that
Keeps your heart soft towards him so when he comes to convict you you have to take it why because without it you will not have those gifts flowing in your life and frankly the same gifts that should be flowing in your life are butress by Galatians 5 the same
Fruit of the spirit as well love joy peace goodness meekness Temperance self-control right Faith all these are what are fruit of the spirit that should be abounding in your life that when people see you that’s what they see that abounds in your life they see love they
See Joy not because you’re happy but what because what you got the joy of the Lord down in your what soul this joy that I have the world didn’t give it to me the world didn’t give it and the world cannot take it away you have to
Have what the joy of the Lord because the joy of the Lord is your strength hallu you have peace present because your mind is stayed on him he said he’ll he’ll keep his keep your mind in peace and perfect peace the mind has stayed on him is your mind stayed on the
Lord well 1 Peter 4 speaks of how we should utilize that gifts he says as every man has received the gift even so Minister the same one to another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God that manifold grace of God is speaking of the anointing of God on
Our life the holy ghost that caus us to have these gifts to what minister to one another so all I’m doing is ministering my gift right but when is your gift activated when is your gift to what to encourage me activated to say what amen preacher I agree with
That see the the gifts have to be activated in us so that we can all be encouraged to go on with the Lord but no matter where you go I don’t care which of the four walls of the body of Christ you walk into you’re going to
Have to what answer the call of God utilize your god-given gifts otherwise you’ll be like the servant when he comes back that he gave the one talent to who T and dig up dig it up the ground and deposit it in and then when God came back says Hey here
Here you go Lord here’s the gift you gave me he says what you should have taken and put this to the strangers so I could get gain some entrance off of what this gift now what you want to talk to me about knowing I’m a knowing what type of
Man I am oh I knew you were a a auster man reaping where you have not sown and Gathering where you have not strong no nobody else had to talk about talk to God talk to their lord about what type of person he was all they had to do was show and
Prove where are your gifts and are your gifts being activated and is it bringing forth fruit because it gives us to point number four point number four answering for Deeds Done in the body we’re going to answer the call of God we’re going to answer we’re going to
Be answering for the Deeds Done in the body so these spiritual gifts are not just for the purpose of of the body itself there’s a whole wide world on the outside that God tells us we need to operate in you remember they were arguing some of the
Disciples he said well I was baptized by sephus I was baptized by Apollos I was baptizing Paul Paul said well who are we who is Paul who is Peter who is what Apollo but we are what ministers that you’ve come to know Jesus Christ that’s all we are servants he says now the
Foundation of the of the churches of what Apostles and Prophet Jesus Christ being the Chief Cornerstone he say now every man who comes and calls himself to be a master build you going to come build on that you got to be careful how you build upon that because every
Person’s work is going to be Tried by the fire and it would declare what type of word what type of what of of of sort it was whether it’s wood hay stubble precious metal Silver and Gold he said all those will will tell because it’s
Going to go through the fire and a day shall declare it so Romans 10:14 says this why why does you judge a brother or why do you set it not thy brother for we all shall stand before the what judgment seat of Christ for it is written as I live sayeth the Lord
Every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God so then every one of us shall give and count himself to God everyone’s going to give an account to God everyone’s G to give an account to God like I just said so if you have what all your Works burn
Up or if you’re not being fruitful then what can God reward you for see God said he wants you to what go and feed the hungry he clothe the naked visit those who are in prison who are in nursing homes who is in the hospitals he
Said take care of the what widows and the orphans the downtrodden and the outcast take care of all those people he says now as often as you’ve done it unto these the least of these my brethren you’ve done it what unto me well if that be the case are we truly feeding the
Hungry are we concerned about clothing those who are naked what about those who are in jails and prisons when was the last time you registered to go you know you have to register to go that’s a prerequisite can’t just walk up in jail you may end up locked up in there too right
How many care about going for those who are in faler homes or to make it those are the what good works that he told us that we have to do Matthew 5:16 says let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and do what glorify your
Father which is in heaven is anybody glorifying God because of your good works are they seeing you and saying man that is a good brother man that is a good sister look at what they’re doing do you know what the greatest dichotomy is when you have people who
Are on the outside who are heathens who are doing good works they’re being magnified giving what awards here for what for their Pro boner service for their service to to the community and we like I don’t care about none of that get get the point who cares about
The poor who cares about the needy who cares about the orphan who cares about those who are in jail or in prisons do we care in the house of God has our heart gotten hardened because I know that what darkness is covering the world and the Earth and gross Darkness the
People but we have to what that are totally unfruitful unfruitful in the righteousness and the works and the Holiness of God he says follow peace with all men and Holiness without which no man shall what see the Lord be not deceived God is Not Mo whatever you sow
That shall you also reap you reap to what light to to uh Holiness and to righteousness you’re G to reap life Everlasting but you SE into to corruption that’s what you’re going to reap here it is he says and I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it from whose
Face the Earth and the heaven fled away and there was found no place for them and I saw the dead small and great stand before God and the books were open and another book was open which was the book of life and the dead were judged out of
Those things which were written in the books according to their what works and the Sea gave up the dead which were in it on and Theological issues going on in the church and the theme for this book was accountability before Christ judgment seat which is a which was a common
Belief in the early Christianity so Believers were encouraged to live righteous lives and to serve others knowing that their actions will be be evaluated by Christ at the word it refers to a raised platform or a judgment seat and so for this purpose you have to know that even like this
Right now would be what it what it looks like it’s like when you go to a graduation and now you’re called your name is called and you come on the stage and they tell you that this person graduated and some people just graduated then you have people who
Graduated with honors and they have their honor cords and their tassels and there are some who who have what stols and have special recognitions and this is exactly what happens at the beima Judgment seat of Christ that we will be at those that are Believers by faith
Somebody clap your hands you if you’ll be there I’ll see you there I want to see you get your great rewards and so there we have to know that that uh Paul was talking about to be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord or
To be to have being away from the the the Lord or at home with the Lord he was talking about the hope and the confidence that that Believers have in their Eternal destiny contrasting this present Earthly life with the future life with Christ and so we will stand
Before Christ for judgment the Jesus that you serve that you called by name that you say save you from your sins he is the one who will judge you evaluate you and reward you or give you consequences for your faithfulness and your actions so what you see is that frankly we’re not not
Being judged for sin when we get to the be judgment seat we’re being judged for what judged for our works just like what the unbeliever has been judged for his works at the great white throne and so here we see in 2 Corinthians 5 Apostle Paul says in verse
10 for we must all appear before the Judgment seed of Christ so that each one of us May receive what is due for what he has done in the body whether good or evil in closing what I’m telling you today is that for these answers to the call of God you
Have to know that you have to answer God’s call to Salvation you’re going to have to answer God’s call to the Great Commission you’re going to have to answer a God’s call for you to do uh have the gifts that are in you stirred up so that you can do God’s
Will and lastly you going to have to be stirred up so that your good works are shown before men this is a call to the whole body and just like the call to Abraham I pray today that you will answer the call the call that God has on your life to be fruitful
Multiply and replenish the Earth after your own kind if you don’t like what kind you are you can change it today just by going within yourself repenting for being unfruitful repenting for being slowful repenting for not doing what God called you to do repenting for not being obedient repenting for being
Insubordinate repenting for delaying the call that God has for you there are many people who are what in a valley of decision that God has to go and tap someone else Peter he had a problem with going to the Gentiles what did God have to do go and knock somebody
Else off his high horse get him prepared to come and what and do this what do this this gospel to the Gentiles this gospel of grace to the Gentiles Apostle Paul had to come forth because you see some people will not do the job that God calls them to
Do so whatever the reason is for those who are watching me online those here standing on your feet today that you are not being fruitful in the work of God I’m saying that the the common denominator is the inability to answer the call and today I’m calling on you to answer
The call of God on your life today all standing on your feet amen rest your feet those that can I’m sorry there’s some that can’t praise God answer the call of God on your life maybe you don’t know Jesus in the pardon of your sin there are some who do not know him
And we want to give this opportunity for you you don’t ever want to be C caught at the great white Throne judgment see I know I focus on the negative of it but there is a positive side that every promise in God is yeah and amen that God has what crowns he has
Diamonds he has said we’ll be a royal diadem in his hand God will make us to where we have no more crying no more dying no more sickness no of pain he says we will rule and reign with him for a thousand years on Earth and then go to our Heavenly reward as
Well there’s so many blessings God have for us we’ll wear a robe of pure white which is the righteousness of the Saints God will cover and cloak Us in it but God is going to judge us for for what our works should be so it’s time for us to get busy about
God’s word I’m praying with you today Father I pray I pray Lord God that those under the sound of my voice will hear the word of the Lord that they will take upon themselves the mind of righteous Abraham who is righteous because he believed you he trusted in your word and
Even though he had come against Kings you said to touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm that you stood up for him because that’s what kind of God you are if you bring us to it Lord God you’ll bring us through it thank you Lord for the the grace Lord
God the unmar favor the manifold Grace Upon Our Lives to do what we otherwise could not do to be who you’ve called us to be to be a light in this Earth so that so that people will see our good works and glorify Our Father which is in
Heaven Help Us Lord to be fruitful that we bear much fruit and that our fruit remain that we may be called Children of the most high God in the mighty name of Jesus for those who don’t know you’re the pardon of sins thank you right now for saving
Their souls thank you for your spirit that’s going now thank you for the gospel call that brings them to the understanding of the work of Christ and the peace that we have with the father we give you praise in Jesus name thank God Amen somebody put your hands together give God
