Our calling is FATHER GOD-appointed!

Our assignment on earth is given to us by FATHER HIMSELF when HE formed us in the womb.  Because of HIS Love for us, we can choose to accept or decline our assignment.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 5:

1  For every High Priest was chosen from among the people and appointed to represent them before God by presenting their gifts to God and offering sacrifices on their behalf.

2 Since the High Priest is also one who is clothed in weakness, he humbles himself by showing compassion to those who are ignorant of God’s ways and stray from them.

3 And for this reason, he has to not only present the sin offerings of others, but also to bring a sin offering for himself.

4 And no one takes this honor upon himself by being self-appointed, but God is the one who calls each one, just as Aaron was called.

The soul would select an assignment based on prestige, power, money, or other self-serving reasons.  In contrast, the spirit-led person will simply say, “Not my will, but Your Will be done FATHER!”

5 So also, Christ was not self-appointed and did not glorify Himself by becoming a high priest, but God called and glorified Him! For the Father said to Him, “You are my favored Son. Today I have fathered You.”

6 And in another Scripture He says about this new priestly order, “You are a Priest like Melchizedek, a King-Priest forever!”

7 During Christ’s days on earth He pleaded with God, praying with passion and with tearful agony that God would spare Him from death. And because of His perfect devotion His prayer was answered and He was delivered.

8 But even though He was a wonderful Son, He learned to listen and obey through all His sufferings.

We are perfected by persevering and in complete obedience to FATHER and HIS Word.  Purification by The Word and The Holy Spirit, brings forth a mature son or daughter of Our Heavenly Father.

9 And after being proven perfect in this way He has now become the Source of Eternal Salvation to all those who listen to Him and obey.

10 For God has designated Him as the King-Priest who is over the priestly order of Melchizedek.

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, David, and others were all chosen for their assignments in the Old Testament.  Aaron was called to the priesthood, David was called to be king.  However, Jesus holds the office of both king and priest, the order of Melchizedek, the calling without end.  We too are called to this same order.

14  But solid food is for the mature, whose spiritual senses perceive Heavenly matters. And they have been adequately trained by what they’ve experienced to emerge with understanding of the difference between what is truly excellent and what is evil and harmful.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 14:

18  And Melchizedek, who was both a priest of the Most High God and the king of Salem, brought out to Abram bread and wine.

19 He spoke over him a special blessing, saying, “Blessed is Abram by God Most High, Creator of Heaven and earth.

20 And blessed be God Most High, whose power delivered your enemies into your hands!” Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all he possessed.

This is the first mention of Communion.  This Communion was to establish the covenant between OUR GOD MOST HIGH and Abraham.  This covenant was initiated by THE GREATER to the lesser and was and continues to be enforced by THE GREATER.  Each time we take Communion, let us be reminded of our Covenant perfected by Jesus Christ, THE GREATER.  The acknowledgement and acceptance by the lesser were to tithe to THE GREATER.  This still applies today.

Don’t trust in your comfort zone!

Our soul and body will pursue a comfort zone which is typically passive and less challenging in nature.  Each of us has an anointing, calling, and an assignment.

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 16:

1  Go ahead and make all the plans you want, but it’s the Lord Who will ultimately direct your steps.

Submitting to FATHER’S Divine plan for your life will challenge both your soul and your body.  When HE directs your steps, doors open and when you are off the intended path, doors close and resistance results.

2 We are all in love with our own opinions, convinced they’re correct. But the Lord is in the midst of us, testing and probing our every motive.

Is there a need for an opinion apart from hearing The Holy Spirit concerning an issue?  Your mindset will develop opinions based on partial knowledge whereas The Holy Spirit instructs you from complete knowledge, understanding, and Wisdom encapsulated in Truth.

3 Before you do anything, put your trust totally in God and not in yourself. Then every plan you make will succeed.

Do you want total success?  If requires total trust in FATHER!

4 The Lord works everything together to accomplish his purpose. Even the wicked are included in HISs plans—he sets them aside for the day of disaster.

FATHER uses every situation and every person in some aspect to fulfill HIS Will.  The adversary cannot outmaneuver FATHER… never has, never will.

5 YAHWEH detests all the proud of heart, for pride attracts his punishment—and you can count on that!

Pride goeth before a fall.

6 You can avoid evil through surrendered worship and the Fear of God, for the power of his faithful lLve removes sin’s guilt and grip over you.

Never allow yourself to forget the Fear of GOD in your consciousness.

7 When the Lord is pleased with the decisions you’ve made, HE activates grace to turn enemies into friends.

As you purpose to walk in the footsteps HE established for you, you will turn enemies into friends.  Consider Saul who became Paul.

8 It is better to have little with a heart that Loves justice than to be rich and not have God on your side.

Riches among the immature are a recipe for disaster.

9 Within your heart you can make plans for your future, but the Lord chooses the steps you take to get there.

My initial plan as a young man who had a low draft number in the Vietnam era, was to fly Navy for six years, then become a commercial airline pilot.  I was accepted in the Naval Aviation program, was then baptized in The Holy Spirit, met my wife to be, and ultimately left the Navy with an honorable discharge, never to become a pilot.  Instead, FATHER began directing me to the various jobs I was to hold throughout the last 52 years.  So much for my plan.  He told me that I was not to be a man of war.

Each of us has a unique path and no comparison to others is necessary.  Each of us needs to pursue our assignment based on our anointing and calling.

My wife and I attend church service at the Bethany Children’s Health Center (https://www.bethanychildrens.org/) on Sunday Mornings. In the conference room, we participate in an online service from Crossings Community Church in OKC. Afterward, we pray for those kids who come down from their hospital room, as well as their parents. This is Love in action. We are seeing beneficial results to the kids’ recovery process.

The following is a teaching by the church which provides an excellent, affirming historical perspective:
