When God Calls

You aren't always expecting it...

"Help me use my talents oh Lord!" I'd say.
"Give me direction in my life. I want to live a life of purpose."
"God, I've lost all my passion, I don't know where to go..." I'd pray.


"God help me, my life has lost all meaning."

When God calls, you're not always ready.


"Oh wow! YOU'RE SO BRAVE! I was going to move out of state too, but, I couldn't leave my Mom...or my job. This place is home-I love Norman, you know?!"




When God calls...
It makes you feel small.
Because the spotlight is on you;

You must choose-
In this war
That is going on inside of you...

Divine vs Evil
Your old life vs your new.

When God calls, there's nowhere to hide.
When God calls, you know it will never be the same again.

"Don't be a Jonah. Don't be a Jonah! Don't be a Jonah! Jade...you have to GO!"

Isaiah 6:8

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.


"Oh God! WHO WILL go...to the middle east and witness to the oppressed? WHO WILL GO to the ends of the earth and spread your word? WHAT WILL THOSE PEOPLE DO IF THEY DON'T HEAR YOUR WORD, GOD?!"
"WHO WILL GO?!"



When God calls...
You hear it loud and clear.
Even if nobody else does.


"You."

"GO."

When God calls, sometimes...you hang up the phone.

Day 1. "Absolutely not. This is not negotiable. Impossible. Unreal. No! No! No!"

Day 2. "God, I am not ready. God-this is crazy, I had PLANS-what about what I want?"

Day 3. "God...please don't make me. Please choose someone else."



Day 4. "God, I don't know why you've picked me. I'm sure it's a great honor. But I'm not ready. This wasn't MY plan God. Can't you send someone else? What if it's dangerous? What if I get hurt? What if I never see my Mom again? God...what if I fail you? What if I stay, Lord? What if I don't go? What will happen? Will you be angry? Will you punish me? God...

What will happen if I don't go? How many lives will be lost if I don't go? How many people will not know your miracles and your mercy and your grace if I don't go? God...I know this isn't about me. Please Lord-humble me. Prepare me. God. Please, Lord...take the fear away. I must go. I must go!





Here am I Lord,
send ME."

When God calls, He changes you, and you do things you never dreamed you would do...


Acts 1:8 To the ends of the earth, Lord. Wherever.
