It is Time to Rise and Shine!

Oh Called by God Remnant!  It is time to rise and shine!  Pick up your shofar and blow into it!  Be not dulled by the world around you!  Cry out:

“TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!”

No man knows the time and hour of Christ’s return, only the Father – but this does not mean that we sit leisurely and wait!  Seek Your Calling in Him so that You too can prepare the way of our Lord!  Do NOT let your oil run out of your lamp!  What is it that Holy Spirit is speaking to you to do?  You DO have a calling to fulfill!

Do not allow ol’ slewfoot and his dominions to lull your spiritual senses, as a snake charmer charms his snakes.  Rise and shine and declare the goodness of our God!  He has given you a testimony to share!  Shout it from the roof tops!  Praise God’s Holy name!  Allow the light of Christ to radiate from you!  For He has saved you for such a time as this!  Maybe you are saying:

“Kelly, I’m not sure what you mean?”

What I am saying to you is that when you accepted Jesus Christ into your heart as your Lord and made Him your Savior, He sent Holy Spirit to reside deep in the very heart of you.  Holy Spirit is the Comforter, the Teacher, He is your guide!  As you continue to develop your relationship with God, seek Him as to what purpose He has called for you to do!  Is it to write as I write?  Do it!  Is it to teach the Word of God?  Do it!  Whatever the calling is that God has created you to perform – there is a REASON for it!  Do it ALL to glorify His name!  There is someone who NEEDS to hear your testimony!  Don’t hesitate to share whatever it is that God is doing with you!  In doing so, you glorify His name!  There is NO greater joy than fulfilling WHATEVER it is that God has called you to do!  Because the truth of the matter is, you are HIS vessel, chosen BY Him!  It is Him doing a GOOD work through you!  But you have to be open to allowing Him to fulfill that destiny!

SOMEONE NEEDS TO HEAR YOUR STORY!

Listen, our responsibility is to walk in accordance with WHATEVER it is God has called you to do!  The rest is up to Him!  Don’t get concerned with what happens next, be concerned with BEING obedient!  We can do NOTHING in and of ourselves – it is ALL God!  When I sit down and write out of obedience to being a scribe for the Lord, I have fulfilled what it is He has asked me to do!  What happens next with those words I write – is up to Holy Spirit!  I CANNOT change hearts or SAVE souls!  That is not my responsibility, for I am not God!  My responsibility is to fulfill WHATEVER my calling is in Him!  And allowing Him to USE the vessel of me for His purposes!  And OH the absolute JOY that floods my soul in thinking how such a MIGHTY, FORGIVING, LOVING GOD wants to use the vessel of imperfect me!  That’s REALLY what it is ALL about!  

HE DIED FOR ME SO I CHOOSE TO LIVE FOR HIM!  

Galatians 2:20 says:

“I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

There is absolutely NO greater joy then knowing that the God of the WHOLE universe desires me to play an intricate part in what He is doing!  Colossians 1:27 says:

“To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

If this is what you desire, please pray with me:

“Father God, I praise Your Holy name!  I worship You!  I rejoice in You, my God, my Savior.  Forgive me for my sins and wash me in Your precious blood.  Please give me eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart to receive ALL that You are saying to me!  Holy Spirit, please guide me and give me wisdom to know the calling You have on my life that I may walk in it!  Here I am!  Your willing vessel!  I pray that You will use this life which I have given over to You to glorify my Heavenly Father.  I was bought at a precious price by the blood of my Savior, Jesus, and I long to glorify Your name!  BE glorified in and through my life in Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN!”

Oh, beloved Remnant!  I tell you what I DO know – there is NO greater joy than walking in the fullness of Christ.  You were called FOR a purpose at a time SUCH as this!  May God GLORIFY His name in and through you that you WILL stand out as His chosen Remnant so that EVERY knee WILL bow, and EVERY tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!  \0/ \0/ \0/
