We Are Called By His Name

It seems there's always an appliction for us today, no matter what scripture we read I guess that just goes to show what an amazing God we serve.

May we always humble ourselves before the Lord, and seek Him with all our heart, and all our soul. There truly are many things of this world that can so easily distract us from Him. May our eyes, ears, and hearts always remain focused on God and Him only.

It's hard sometimes to remember that I not only have to seek Him, but obey Him. I like to be in prayer and fellowship with Him, but going out and actually doing what He said to do...well, sometimes that's a little harder to enjoy. Especially that "love your enemies" thing.

You know, I was having a very difficult time with "loving" in general.  People just frankly got on my nerves, and I think that part of the reason for that was my sensitivity.  People hurt me too easily.  Anyway, I started asking God what He wanted me to do with my life.  I think that that is a pretty normal question a person just entering into college asks God.  I was begging, pleading, and truly seeking a response.  I kept asking God to speak to me as clear as I was speaking out in my prayers.  Well, I kept seeking, asking and pleading.  I spent months just reading the Word, praying, talking and worshiping the Lord.  I was expecting an answer like..."GO BE AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER, GO BE A MISSIONARY...etc.", but the answer I got totally blew me away.

God answered me, not in a voice, but in a way I had never experienced before.  It is clearer than words, but I can't exactly describe it.  His answer was one of the most real things that I have ever experience.

He told me to love everyone.  To show people everywhere His love.  This had been really hard for me.  I did not love people.  They got on my nerves.  I just didn't have it in me to love them.

But I didn't need to love them.  God loves them.  He opened my eyes to His love.  It was like His love was a spring bubbling up out of me, surrounding me, and pouring out on everyone.  His love became real to me at that moment, and I was completely awed.

GERRY:

And what do you say that job is that He gave us to do?
Did He tell the true believers to follow all of the scriptures, or does scriptures tell us how to follow Him by the apostle Paul?

Paul was chosen by Jesus Christ to be the apostle to The Gentiles, not the other disciples. The other disciples were told to go to the house of Israel only!

Mat_10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

Rom 1:1-3 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

The question need be asked then; what is the gospel of God?
The answer destroys today's false teachings of using what was given TO THE JEWS.

This also makes what is being taught by the Denominations today false!
