Hebrews 12:1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:…
Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
Genesis 12:6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 7 And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him. 8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.6 In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
Called To Walk Before God
.. Abraham was called.. Each true born again Spirit filled believer has that same calling on his or her life. That is the divine principle – you have been called to walk before God. When you understand this then God will start to open up and give light and revelation with regard to your call.. both individually and corporately. So the question that I raise this evening with regard to this teaching ‘ is this your experience? ‘ You have to be brutally honest with yourself and ask these fundamental questions while The Lord is still delaying His coming.. ‘ Almighty God Knows What He Is Doing. ‘
Trust And Obey For There’s No Other Way..
.. We are talking about a vision – a call for the Last Days. We’re told that ‘ without a vision the people perish ‘ [Proverbs 29:18] and they do. God will only reveal to you at that right time when you obey and trust Him and walk by faith. Then God will meet and speak with you further. But He’s never going to tell you where He’s going to take you, what He has for you and so on, and yet we’re enquiring – we ask God and get upset when He doesn’t answer. And He won’t answer because you are called to walk by faith and not by sight..
Confidence Building Exercise
.. And so God says He’s not going to tell us because He knows human nature. He knows we wil plan our life and we do that planning without considering Him. And yet The Word of God says we are to commit all things unto God and He will lead and direct us. [Proverbs 3:5-6] But we don’t always do that. And so the only way God can cut across that is – you’re called and you walk before Him, and you take that each day by faith. And why? Because this is how you will build that confidence in Him and not your reliance on yourself and the things of this world. That’s why, you see God never gets it wrong.. .. ..
Luke 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
John 13:37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. 38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
