Two Sendings
Here are two places that God will always send us. There are more but here are two:
- Out into the unknown away from our security system (Abraham)
- Back into the thing we fear the most to set others free (Moses)
You can look at all the patriarchs and see a 'sending' that applies to your life. Those sendings apply to anyone who is following God.
"For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance." - Romans 11:29 KJV
God's calling isn't your vocation. He Is calling you to Himself and that is way out there and deep in here.
"The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints," - Ephesians 1:18 KJV
This calling is not solitary. You need people. I need people. Lone rangers are going to live ignorant of many things. They will be poor. Those great gatherings, that have a mix of amazing and annoying people, house a glory found no where else. They have merciful eyes and words peppered with grace but there are also going to be novice traits and inappropriate saying said in those groups.
"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;" - Ephesians 4:4 KJV
Oh. There is hope is your calling.
"I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." - John 10:9 KJV
Safety from the dangers 'out there' are not found by hiding. They are found in Him. Healings from the hurts within are not found out there. They are found in Jesus.
"Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:" - 2 Timothy 1:8-10 KJV
Jesus is the burning bush. Look at Him. Draw near to His fire that warms but does not consume. He will send you and victory will be the result. You will be free of your past and others will be free also.
