'...You shall go to all to whom I
send you...' Jeremiah 1:7 NKJV
Wow is all I can say! I looked at the clock and three hours had gone by just like that. Every time we were about to shut down the Spirit moved in another way. What an incredible move of God's Spirit in our service yesterday. God exponentially answered my prayers for each and everyone of you. I'm excited for what God has instore for Calvary moving forward. God has something special for each and everyone of you to do. Don't let Satan tell you, you can't. You must just embrace it! Jeremiah told God, '...I cannot speak, for I am a youth.' (v6 NKJV) Have you been saying, 'I don't have what it takes'? God told Jeremiah, 'Do not say, I am a youth, for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you...' (vv 7-8 NKJV) When actors audition for a part, the director conducts what are known as 'callbacks'. At that point the actor either gets the part or it goes to somebody else. But when an actor is experienced and well-known, sometimes the director offers them the part without them even auditioning for it. Understand this: God doesn't do auditions and callbacks! That's because He's already designed a role for you that nobody else could fill. Even if others were to study you endlessly they still couldn't be you. When God says, 'I know you by name and you have found favor with Me' (Exodus 33:12 NIV), be careful about responding to any other call except the one that comes from Him. Since God designed you with all the built-in qualifications you need, you don't have to compromise your convictions, manipulate, drop names or do special favors'. The part is yours! And don't be jealous or intimidated by anybody else no matter how talented they are. In God's eyes there are no other contenders; you're it! You're the only one who can fill the slot because He created it with you in mind. When you feel insecure and unqualified, remind yourself of that. You are loved!
