SCRIPTURE STUDY ON CALL AND CHOSEN

What is God Calling You to Do?

Today we will be studying a subject that most of the religious and secular world can’t understand.  Why?  Because they are not “Called.”  Only those who receive and accept the call can understand its real meaning and application in their lives.  We need to be sober and humbled by the magnitude of the specialness and hope of this calling.  It is empowering to change our lives and strengthen us through the days ahead.

This is a subject to embrace with all our hearts – to put our arms and minds around with joy and gladness – and at the same time, never let others or the powers of darkness rob us of the hope of our Calling.  This is a subject to spend quality, serious time meditating and praying about it until we can make its meaning a core part of our very being and hope.
