At the age of seventy-five, Abram (Abraham) was given the fullness of his calling. In Genesis chapter 12, FATHER spoke:
1 Now the LORD had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country, From your family
And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.
2 I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you and make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
When did FATHER place the gifts and calling into Abraham? Did he finally achieve perfection at the age of 75 and thus FATHER had been waiting to see if anyone would step up to the challenge? No, when FATHER formed Abraham in the womb HE knew what the plan was and when to expect to have this proclamation of Abraham’s calling. FATHER’S Divine Intent was in Abraham before HE formed him in the womb. In Psalm 139, David wrote by THE SPIRIT:
1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.
3 You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O LORD, You know it all.
5 You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
The better we know FATHER and HIS Divine Intent, the better we will know ourselves for FATHER knows us better than we know ourselves. HIS knowledge of us is greater than our own knowledge, thoughts, and intents thus we should make every effort to know HIM fully and completely in order to achieve the purpose HE placed in us before HE formed us in the womb.
HE will not bless your or my illusion of ourselves, HE will only bless the “real you” and the “real me”. If you can receive and embrace this reality, you will be on your way to producing excellent fruit for the Kingdom. How are we suppose to comprehend FATHER in a greater fashion? HE even provided us a way to comprehend HIM and HIS ways by sending HIS Son Jesus Christ as our manifested Example of Who HE is. In John chapter 14, Jesus spoke:
7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority;but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.”
Here is the simple Truth. FATHER formed each of us in the womb and HE placed unique gifts and callings for us to walk in as we mature. In order to fully operate in those gifts and callings we must pursue and comprehend FATHER so that the Spiritual flow will be unhindered. HE sent HIS Son for us to have a perfect Example to round out our understanding and know HIS Love for us. As we embrace the Words of Jesus our relationship with FATHER is perfected and any hindrances to our individual purposes are removed thus the Holy Spirit flows freely in our lives to be a blessing to others. FATHER wants to bless the “real” you, not some illusion or perception that the ego would create. Be at peace with the reality of your gifts and calling and let the blessings flow from FATHER to you and through you to others. It is never too late as we saw with Abraham.
