Here is an old message I found the other day in my cassette tape collection. I hope you enjoy it!

We can learn from everything.

Others can tell if you are submitted.

Submission is a two-way street.

What is the will of God? 

Thanks for listening!

The only way to avoid becoming stagnant is to keep our relationship with God at the forefront of everything we do. After recognizing the call of God, keeping ourselves close to it must be our single most important priority. Every aspect of our lives will be drastically affected when God calls us into the ministry. Knowing this, we must prioritize the call above everything else. If we fail to properly prioritize the call of God in our lives, we will not be successful nor satisfied in anything else we do, and God’s voice will slowly fade into a distant memory.

Thanks for listening!

The call is not contingent upon how good or how talented we are. It is only contingent upon our ability to give God the glory for the great things He does through us. Our abilities are not our own. They are only on loan to us from God. It would do us good to remember that and to keep ourselves in the right perspective while God elevates us to higher heights in both the supernatural and the natural. I have seen men and women fall during this time of elevation, simply because they did not keep the right perspective of who they are and who God is. We will only be what God allows us to be. Some people have natural abilities to preach and move people with their words. Some can sing and move people with their music. But God is the One who gave them the ability to do so. If we ever think our talents are attributed to our own strength, education, or training, we are quickly headed for a fall. 

Thanks for listening!

“For many be called, but few chosen.” This call goes out to many, but those who become the chosen are those who endure long enough to receive the second call from God. The first call brings about a process of elimination that God uses to cause the committed to rising to the top. The first call is hard. It isn’t for the weak or lazy. Only those who prove themselves worthy will endure beyond the first call to receive the second.

Thanks for listening!
