WHEN GOD CALL YOU BY YOUR NAME, YOU WILL ANSWER THE CALL
Matthew 6:33-34 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
God is saying to the ones He has called to perform the duties of His pleasure, the ones who fit the certain purpose of His plan; even ones who think that they will never have anything to do with Him that when you least expect it, He can and often do, turn minds and hearts to do His will. And, as He needs and will, in any given situation or circumstance He will choose that which seems foolish and weak to confound the so called wise. (1 Corinthians 1:27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong). He can cause one’s ears to hear and heart to soften toward His commission even in the midst of their rebellion or unawareness. (Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself).
We may think that there is no hope, and all is lost in this time of sorrow and woe and cannot seem to find our way (through the drudgery of today’s mess), but YHWH (GOD) is holding us by our right hand (to be identified as being in the special place of honor”). And what He wants to see happen, by His own hands or by His design, through us, will happen: bringing all under subjection to His Word, Will, and Way. Therefore, if we keep on believing and trusting YHWH (GOD), through our Lord and Saviour, Yashuah (Jesus), that the call He put on our lives will be revealed, the Son will shine again. (Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God). And YAH (GOD) will cause the ones who think that they are in control (and are placing unnecessary strains and demands on everyone else), to be weaken, and specifically removed from their position of power as they are relax in their vanity. And everything, they possess (in the way of helping His cause), will be accessible, without restraint, to Him and no one will be able to deny Him. All according to His plan, which is always better than ours. Because when God put a call on your life or a hold on your soul, it cannot be revoked by man and will not be revoked by Him. (Isaiah 45:1 Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;)
To show how God uses those least likely to be expected, look at Cyrus, a Parisian, a devout Zoroastrian, (one who believes in one God but used pagan methods to worship this god). And according to the Bible he is the liberator of the Jews who were captive in Babylonia. Some may feel as if they are in captivity today, with all the situations and circumstances being presented to you, daily. But when YHWH, GOD, call your name, you will find that there is nothing you cannot do or go through with Him. But you must be willing to listen and act according to His Word (Jesus).
GOD Himself, chose Cyrus, (in some people definition, a heathen, simply because He was not of the Jewish faith). YHWH looked at his heart and not at his outward appearance. (1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart). YHWH, GOD, woke up Cyrus from a spiritual sleep, and caused his dormant faculties, (those which were not considering service to the True God) to be put in motion and activated toward what YAH had in His plan, for him to do. He gave Cyrus reassurance by telling him that He will take him by the “right hand” (hand of power and righteousness) and walk him through this undertaking. Like with Cyrus, YAH (GOD) wants to take us by our right hand and use us in extraordinary ways, that we, ourselves, cannot see happening. If we allow Him, through the Holy Spirit, to be the One who uses us for His plan and then guide us to and through our purpose, not only will we be able to go through the journey but that which we need to do so, will be supplied. He will bring us to the place of realizing that we can do all things, through Yashuah (Jesus), who gives us the strength to do so. (Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me). He equips us by opening up our spiritual eyes to see and understand YHWH’s WORD (Jesus); the need and ability to search our own hearts for that which is contrary to the will (plan), of YAH (GOD); with wisdom, truth, and patience He allows us to seek out the good in every man and thing we encounter; by overcoming fears which hinders our progress; by promoting love toward Him first, self, and others; by helping others in astronomical ways, etc. By His design and with His help, the things we can and will accomplish will be remarkable. He will do so: ask YHWH, (GOD) to give us our mountain (yes, Lord), and the strength and courage to climb. (Joshua 14:12-15 12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the Lord said).
The crooked places to be made straight are people, situations, circumstances, trials, troubles, and tribulations that all of us face, each day. And the gates of brass are the hinderances that are put before us. They are forged, in some of our hearts and minds, by the devil to keep us at a disadvantage and not allow us to be in a position for use by YAH, GOD. God told Cyrus not to worry about anyone coming against him or denying him whatever he needed for this undertaking. Because He would cause all those needed, for this part of His plan, to stand still and let go of their wealth (in any form) and as needed, continue to bless what YHWH (GOD) had commissioned Cyrus to do, to build His temple. (Isaiah 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:) YHWH, through His Son Yashuah (Jesus), has told us that we are to stand still and not become discouraged about the situations and circumstances He will take care of it all: He is in control. (Psalm 46:10-11 10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah). (Exodus 14:13-14 13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace).
YHWH (GOD), through Yashuah (Jesus) wants us to experience all the goodness of His wisdom, love, and the true meaning of “I AM”. This is the same God who wants to construct our life through what we do for ourselves and others, as He would have it to be: saturated with love, overflowing with joy and happiness, breaming with an abundance of patience, full of peace, steady in perseverance, all of the fruit of the spirit, all the benefits of YAH’s (GOD) Love (Jesus). All we have to do is love (the greatest of all His commands, believe, and receive. And all that man thought that they were and are keeping from us and getting away with will be given to those who He has deemed worthy. And there will be no mistake that GOD, HIMSELF, did it. (Luke 6:38 38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again). Isaiah 45:3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
