As Believers, we are all a part of His Body. And we each have a certain calling that God has set in place for us. But more than that, He has called us to be Holy and separate...to be sanctified. He is the protective God who says, "Come out of her, my people!" (Revelation 18:4). He wants us to be His and dedicated only to His purposes. This has been a big recurring theme recently. Below are some revealed messages and confirmations, though there are more in previous posts. (Search the labels for 'Calling' to see those)
Confirmed 12/13: I opened up Strong's Strongest Bible Concordance after seeing it on the bookshelf. The words 'Numbers' and 'Interpretation' were quickened to me. I knew it was from God....some things you just have to take by faith. And then the wait began for God to build upon this passage. With faith, it doesn't take long. God is faithful to take us from strength to strength.
"Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them." Matthew 13:12 (Hey, that's a reversal of the date. I'll 'interpret' those 'numbers' that way...)
So God gives faith with His messages and then adds more and more layers of confirming signs to the original message. He wants to make the righteous paths clear! He has established our faith, and when we allow Him to activate it, He will always give us even more abundance. He is the Holy One who says, "open your mouth and I will fill it" (Psalms 81:10). I didn't think much of this until later that day; see below for an explanation...
So, Vanessa and I were talking later that day about a "Steps to Jesus" devo I had felt led to read that morning. She had in fact read the same pages after me, as I left the pamphlet open. The pages we read were under a subtitle called, "The Works and the Life'. And it pertained to a specific calling. It pertained to the Works of Jesus regarding His traveling ministry. And it emphasized the fact that such a calling was 'set apart' from the ways of this world. What a life! Let me tell you, it's so exciting. Hard, but exciting.
Vanessa then went directly into talking about the Levites. She asked me, "Have I ever told you about the Levites in Numbers 18?" Before I met Vanessa (and after that, as well!) the Lord often spoke to me regarding the Levites. I've felt that He has given a similar calling to me. Turns out, Vanessa has long felt that way, too. God has both led us to "work for Him" so to speak, through different types of specific ministry.
Anyways, Vanessa mentioned numbers 18, and right away I remembered that 'Numbers' was the word I was guided to in Strong's Concordance earlier that day. My thought patterns were quickened, and I understood what God was saying:
Our Work and Life (from the devo) has been dedicated to the Lord's specific "Interpretation" of a Levitical (from seeing the word "Numbers") calling. God was reaffirming through all these synchronistic events that both Vanessa and I have been called out. We have been called into a Life of dedicated ministry work, just as the Levites were. Praise God! He gives us the desires of our hearts, and His Way is the best way.
Confirmed 12/15: Speaking of interpretations, The Lord gave an interpretation of tongues..."Come Holy Spirit". Simple, but what a glorious thing to ask Him for. When I first wrote it down, I accidentally wrote, "Come unto Spirit". Come to Him; He's called us His! That's the message, anyways, that God made out of my guided mistake.
Confirmed 12/15: Quickened eye-glance in the bible to, "you were entrusted" (Romans 6:17). We have been entrusted to a His calling. We are to be slaves or righteousness!
