Responding To The Call of God, Part 2
God left a glorious place to come into a world to be with us. The Prophet Isaiah says, 1:23, “God with us, Immanuel.” Which means God is with His people. He came to seek and redeem us; to take us back to Him as it was in the first plan of God, for us to dwell with Him forever! To enjoy His presence.
God did not create a human being for suffering, for hard working we are doing. No, but we are doing all these things, but this was not God’s purposes. This is not why He created us for! What God wants, is for us to be like Him, to create good through our mouths. To speak good things and they automatically happen. We would not need to work or labor. We just speak like God and things happen.
That’s why after finishing creation, God gave Adam His first duty, to name all the animals. Adam (first man) was not struggling to do that. He was just speaking. Any name that came out of his mouth, is the name we are calling the animals even to this day. After Adam disobeyed God and started going his own direction, God removed him from the Garden of Eden. God took him out and sent him to labor; get and eat food in hard work! Man was chased out, denied, rejected and man started living for his own. But God is a loving God, He did not leave us that way! He made a way for us to come back home! To come back in the place where we just speak good things, and they happen.
Jesus came back to teach us how to do this! Jesus says, Matthew 28:18,19, “I have given you power and authority!” To speak and things will happen! “Speak to the sickness, and the people will recover! James 5:15-20.” Speak to the dead, and they will come back to life, Matthew 10: 8! Speak to the mountain, and the mountain will move, Mark 11:22!
Jesus did not tell us to take a shovel and work hard, so that you will please the Father who created you! Jesus just taught us the first thing we are supposed to do. For us to speak and God will perform what you speak. God has given us power in our tongue, to speak life or death. It depends on what you speak for yourself. If you speak death, you die! If you speak life, you live! But God wants you to live! Deuteronomy 30:19! This is the nature of our creation! We have power! If you speak blessing to your children and others, they are blessed! If you speak cursing, they are cursed and will have difficulty and struggles. Because what you speak, is what happens.
We cannot blame God! God is not cursing nobody, but we curse ourselves by speaking evil things. Saying, “I’m nothing.” “I can do nothing.” “I’m useless.” “I’m hopeless.” You say, you’re poor. Who told you that you’re poor? Saying, “I’m sick.” Who told you that you are sick? You said it to yourself. The enemy of God has spoken to your mind. “Nobody likes me.” But God has created you as pure and white as snow! You have nothing wrong in you. You just bring those things by yourself by listening to the voice of the enemy. Then you complain now, where is God because the very things you spoke are now happening to you! At the same time, God is looking at you asking, Where are YOU and what are YOU doing? What are YOU saying?
This is the same question He asked Adam in the garden after he sinned. (Genesis 3:8-11) It was normal for God to walk through the garden and talk to Adam and Eve. That day, He was looking for them. He asked Adam where he was and what was he doing? After Adam and Eve sinned, they hid. Who told them to do this? In their minds, they knew they had listened to the wrong voice of someone other than God. The enemy. They hid from the presence of God! God was missing the persons He had placed in the garden!
This is how we separate ourselves from God. God did not separate us. The glory, power and anointing of God was gone from man after sin. God did not see the person He created. The person He gave power and authority and dominion. Problems started arising and death came in the life. Today, we are trying to hide.
“God says, I set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore, choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.”
