This article is written in response to some questions why believers fail to walk into their calling as prophesied and why certain anointed men and women can suddenly fall into spiritual dryness like the Spirit of God had departed from them.
Romans 11:29 says, “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” When Saul was disobedient, he could still prophesy with the gift of prophecy. He was still the king of Israel but the Spirit of God had departed from him. 1 Samuel 16:14, “But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a distressing spirit from the Lord troubled him.”
Bill Johnson quotes: “Glory is the manifested presence of Jesus. Revival is filled with stories of His manifest presence resting upon His people. HE lives in all believers, but the glory of His presence comes to rest on only a few.”
The 3 articles vide the link will provide insight of why many ‘fail to be chosen’ to walk in the highest calling as desired by the Lord. God’s requirement is a purified and holy temple to rest the manifest presence of His glory because God is holy.
In order for a prophecy to be fulfilled, one must heed the conditions and obey them. The Bible is full of “If you ... I (God) will ....”
The Lord spoke to Abram in Genesis 17:1-2, “I am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless. I will confirm my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.”
In Zechariah 3:6-7, The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua:
“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.”
In these last days, God hasreleased from His Throne Room,
the Fire of the Seraphim to burn away fear, doubt, disobedience and the dross of a person’s life before the person could be used for such calling. This furnace, heated seven times hotter, is a glorious blue flame like laser which I saw when I was taken up in the Spirit. It beamed through my spirit to purify my soul, perhaps like how the light that flashed upon Saul on his way to Damascus instantly transformed him from Saul to Paul, an Apostle of God.
In the natural, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were thrown into the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual (Daniel 3:19).
Revelation 3:18
“I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.”
Fire is power. Fire is Holy and will burn away the veil that the enemy uses to blind us spiritually. Fire will cleanse and purify to help us to grow and build up our character.
Growth is the goal of the Christian, from faith to faith, glory to glory to the image and likeness of God. Maturity is mandatory. If a child ceased to develop, the parents would be concerned. Doctors would be called and tests would be run. When a child stops growing, something is wrong.
When a Christian stops growing, help is needed. If you are the same Christian you were a few months ago, be careful. It might be wise to get a checkup-not on your body, but on your heart; not a physical, but a spiritual one.
May this sharing bless you to walk into your calling and may God be glorified!
