90 - Called by His Grace

Called by His Grace to the Land of your calling.

Galatians 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, (Acts 26:19 I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision)

Every man's life is a plan of God. God takes a chance on us with His Grace. We stumble and get up again. He doesn't baptize us with perfection. He baptizes us with His Spirit of Grace which is the Holy Ghost. Knowing this keeps us going.

Titus 2:11 The Grace of God that BRINGETH SALVATION.

2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. When God saw you and called you He saw something in your life that pleased Him. His calling was not in vain.

The eyes of the LORD are looking in on you today. A perfect heart is a heart that will repent. God saw this in you. You are sincere. You are not happy with your mistakes. This pleases God. Your life is a plan of God. Where ever you are in the world it is the land of your calling. Your mission is to seek and to save the lost. Ask Him ~ "how is it between you and me today God?"

It was on a Monday. I was visiting a little old Catholic lady in South Bend, IN. She was telling me how she had prayed to God that morning about a certain thing. She told God ~ I asked you to do this last Thursday ~ You should have this done by now. Then she giggled and said ~ I bet He is going to get me when He sees me. Learn to wait on God. He does all things right.

We operate on God's Time Clock. It is a universal prophetic time piece. He has only one time zone. His second here is the same second everywhere. This is why prayer knows no distance. I can pray for you at 12 Noon here and it maybe 12 Mid-night where you are ~ at the same time I am praying for you here. God knows no distance. I pray for my distant friends with that built into my faith. I send this Newsletter to India at 2:20am. This same time is 11 hours later in India. They receive it at 1:20 pm India time the same day and minute, give or take a minute or two.

Paul was called by the Grace of God. The God that he served turned out to be the Jesus that he hated. This revelation was so remarkably different and sudden as to cause momentary shock and alarm. God let him stay blind three days so he could think about the meaning of Grace. Jesus said to Paul ~ Acts 9:6 Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. Acts 9:17-18 Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. It is all there. Paul preached Acts 2:38 everywhere in every church. 1 Corinthians 4:17 my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

Grace is God's devised way for us to come to Him in repentance without fear. As a sinner we freely obey His Acts 2:38 plan of salvation. God sees repentance in us and invites us to Himself. We start by repenting of our foolish pride.. God's second step in His devised plan is to be baptized in Jesus Name. He then fulfills His promise by baptizing us with His Holy Spirit. With this plan we can walk away from temptation and its power over us. We are set free from sin.

God is never angry with our sins in this process. He is like a Father who pities His child and wants to help us overcome. It pleased God to call Paul on the road to Damascus and it pleased God to call you where ever you were. Be encouraged. Serve Him in the land of your calling.
