Isaiah
46:9,
“Remember
the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am
God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the
beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done,
saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: 11
Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my
counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring
it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.”
I
love walls and gates. I love boundaries of protection with gates that
open to new revelations or new experiences. In 2013 and before, we
were praying, "Open the doors you want open Lord and close those
you want to be closed." We have learned His Ways are so much better
than ours and to Trust Him brings great Joy!
Now,
today we are giving so much Praise and Honor to our Lord who opened
the way for us to minister to the Whole World. We are so humbled and
feel like David...whom God pulled from the fields all dirty and
sweaty from tending to his Father's sheep...unworthy, unknown by many
and just hidden away from all the crowds...but yet remembering what
God had spoken to us on many occasions and He has made our calling
and election very sure (confident, positive, absolute, certain
without doubt, determine, ESTABLISH).
We
knew that in His time God would reveal to us His Will for these Last
Days. I was reminded by a friend as she told me that God spoke these
words to her 12 months ago, "What God ordains He will
establish." Those whom God calls, He ordains, He consecrates
with His anointing. It is not for us to question but to yield to His
timing. He will establish (to work or settle in a permanent
place) build-up, set up, install, to prove, verify, and confirm.
David's
own family had no real confidence in him. When he went to the
battlefield to serve them food, they knew him as their little brother
doing the work that maybe they didn't want to do. He wasn't a popular
person but he was a person who loved God and had seen first hand how
God had protected him against the bear and the lion. David had a song
in his heart that God loved to hear and God chose him to be anointed
as the King of Israel.
To
be a “nobody” is not a bad thing when God knows you by name and
knows exactly where you are. He also knows He can depend on you to
listen to His voice, be obedient and follow His commands when the
Gate opens. At that point, he will lead you into new and deeper
revelations of Himself that you can be the witness that He has
ordained you to be. Whatever the task great or small, it is such an
honor to be chosen and used by God to minister to others. What God
Has Ordained He Will Establish!
