Qualified & Called

2nd Corinthians 3:5,

 "It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own.

Our qualification comes from God."

The purpose of this blog is to inspire us to use those gifts that God has given us. It's in the moment of realizing that God has purposed you for great things that the enemy will try to convince you that you aren't capable or worthy of doing them. A personal revelation that God put on my heart is this line:  

"We are not qualified to be called. But once we are called we are qualified."

We were bought into this world with sin. That's just the way it is and we can't change that. But some one did. Some one came to take that sin so that we didn't have to bear that sin on our shoulders. The man who came to take away our sin is the same man who came to breathe life into us to that we could shine before man to reveal his Father's glory (Matthew 5:16). Just as we were bought into sin we were bought into many other things that go along with it and when you're tied down to sin you are filled with guilt. Guilt holds you back. It holds you captive. After we accept Jesus as our savior, we are set free. Once we are set free then there shouldn't be anything that can keep us from God's higher anointing. The enemy will try his hardest at this time. We have to ask God to fill our heart with the revelation that we are not good enough. We are not great. We are not the best that's ever been...until we answer his call. We on our own are not magnificent. But our God is. And because he is our father everything he is we are. Because we are his children we are qualified to answer the call that he's put on our life. So when you get discouraged saying that you are not good enough to answer his call just remember this, "I may not be good or strong enough to do this but because my God is, I am".

Fear = Torment = God's love is?

1 John 4:18,

"There is no fear in love;

 but perfect love casts out fear,

 because fear involves torment".

I've been reading and hearing a lot about God's love, and coming to the understanding of what it is. Something I found is that love cannot be called love if fear is involved. Fear involves torment, and God's love is not a tormenting love. God's love is a love that is stronger than any fear we may come in contact with and if we let fear consume our hearts then we don't know the meaning of God's love. For the love of God should not give us anything to fear. I spend so much of my time wrapped up in fear. I place so many limits in my life, I won't sit in the back of vans because I fear it will make me car sick. I avoid going certain routes when driving because I'm afraid I'll get in a crash. And every time I hear a noise in my house and I'm home alone I jump up in terror. God did not place us here to live like this; fearing so many things. When we do this we put a limit on God without even realizing it. We're telling him that he isn't sufficient enough to protect us from every obstacle. Not only are we putting limits on God but we're putting limits on our self. We can't do this, because this might happen. We can't go that way, because we don't know what's around the corner. We can't, we can't, we can't. Who wants to live like that? I know for so long I've found comfort in this lifestyle. Don't get me wrong. There is a fine line between second-guessing yourself and being wise to think before acting. Jumping in to things is not the answer to limits. Before we make tough decisions we need to ask God for his council. Once we receive an answer, that's when you act, without thinking about the negative possibilities. The enemy is always at work in trying to destroy the plans God has for you. Remember God is good, and he would never intend to bring harm to those he loves. Take this scripture into your spirit just as I am and see the new mind you'll get. You'll see how silly it was to live in such irrational fear and how you can avoid it in the future. Here's some more daily revelation:

1 John 2:14,

".....I write to you,

young people,

because you are strong,

and the word of God lives in you,

and you have overcome the evil one". 

1 John 2:26-27,

"I am writing these things to you

 about those who are trying to lead you astray.

As for you, the anointing you received from him

 remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you.

 But as his anointing teaches you about all things

 and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--

just as it has taught you,

remain in him".
