“He Said What???”

October 21, 2010 by Joey Hughes Leave a Comment

I have recently been reminded of how much my life depends on me exercising my faith in order to reach the destiny God has set before me. It is not dependent on anything I am or anything I can do.

When God sends a Word to frame a new season in our lives, our first thoughts are for our current circumstances. Maybe you’ve said something like this: “How can I be called by God after all I’ve done?” Or perhaps you’ve felt this way: “I don’t have the education to do what God has called me to do.”

We must begin to understand that the calling of God on our lives is solely dependent on His power and grace.

In Romans 4:19-24, Paul says these words:

19 Abraham didn’t focus on his own impotence and say, “It’s hopeless. This hundred-year-old body could never father a child.” Nor did he survey Sarah’s decades of infertility and give up.20 He didn’t tiptoe around God’s promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God,21 sure that God would make good on what he had said.22 That’s why it is said, “Abraham was declared fit before God by trusting God to set him right.”23 But it’s not just Abraham;24 it’s also us! The same thing gets said about us when we embrace and believe the One who brought Jesus to life when the conditions were equally hopeless.

It has nothing to do with us; our abilities; our education; or our circumstances. It has everything to do with the power of the “rhema” word of God being perfected in our lives.

Isaiah 55:11 says:

11 So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They’ll do the work I sent them to do, they’ll complete the assignment I gave them.

What has god placed in front of you? What has he spoken into your life as a destiny and a purpose? As you begin the process of moving toward your destiny, allow God to reveal himself to you in the fact that if He has spoken it, He will perform it. He will bring you through any circumstance that may try to keep you from achieving the thing He has purposed for you to achieve.

“Father, help me today to trust you with every part of my life. Help me to know that you have set my feet on a good path and that since you started this work in my life, you will be faithful to complete it. Help me to not look at my circumstances and allow them to keep me from moving forward. Help me to trust that you are my perfect father, and you will not lead me into danger, you will only lead me to what will make me like you.”

Be Blessed Today!!
