We are called to give ourselves completely to THE LORD!
Often times, fear becomes our teacher, and we actually take comfort in fear because it keeps us from the risk that intimidates and scares us.
However, Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 1:
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Who was preached among you by us-by me, Silvanus, and Timothy-was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes.
20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
In other Words, for all of God’s promises find their “yes” of fulfillment in Him. And as His “YES” and our “amen” ascend to God, we bring Him glory!
GOD declares a promise but HE’S waiting for human agreement. GOD can do everything on HIS own, by HIMSELF, better than all of us combined. That’s not what HE is looking for. HE designed for HIS Will to be done on earth through human agreement. What is the point of being a Son or Daughter who does nothing? How boring would that be! We are to be fruitful in our daily life.
FATHER intended to join with Adam and Eve to co-labor with them so that HIS Will and purposes could be done on an entire planet. HIS Intent was to have an intimate fellowship with mankind to express HIS Love to us and through us.
What is the Will of GOD? On earth as it is in Heaven.
Luke recorded Peter’s address to the people as he spoke by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD.
21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the Name of the LORD Shall be saved (sōzō).’
The Plan of THE LORD is so much greater than every one of us could possibly imagine and be able to explain. Our minds cannot grasp the magnitude of what was prophesied. For the most part, the Body of Christ has greater faith in the return of THE LORD than in the power of the Gospel here and now.
If our faith were in the power of the Gospel, we wouldn’t expect Jesus to return to rescue us but it would be the crowning touch on a victorious church. The Gospel is enough to transform an individual life, therefore It’s enough to transform a family, therefore It’s enough to transform a community, therefore It’s enough to transform a city, therefore It’s enough to transform a state… The Power of the Gospel is enough!
The cross is enough. Within that is the promise of GOD for us to live a fulfilled life. The Promised Land is a representation of us stepping fully into what we were born for, why we are alive. You and I are designed to work but not out of stress. We are meant to be productive, creative, and fruitful unto good works. It is never too late to correct our individual journeys and zero in on our callings.
How do we accomplish such a correction? We are to walk in a surrender, a yieldedness of HIS Word, a dying to self-will at all times, and embracing every Word spoken by HIM.
