Your Call Can only be realized

In Relationship With The Lord

  In the book of Acts Stephen tells us how Moses at the age of 40 knew in his heart that he was called to be the deliverer of Israel. And out of his calling began to try and minister the calling of the Lord on his life. And in his first attempt to be the deliverer of Israel he failed, and neither did the Israelites recognize him as their deliverer. For Moses was trying to fulfill his calling, void of the most crucial ingredient, a relationship with the Lord. With only an understanding of his calling Moses tried to answer the call on his life in the flesh, and failed. At which point he ran into the desert to hide, for he had killed an Egyptian. 

But it was there in the wilderness, the Lord brought humility into the spirit of Moses. And after forty years, Moses had become a meek and humble man, a man that the Lord could now empower through intimate relationship to go and fulfill his call to bring out the people of Israel from their bondage, and slavery. It was at the burning bush that the Lord, brought Moses into an intimate relationship. And Moses would go to fulfill his call, but only this time he went as an ambassador of the Lord knowing his God and operating not out of his flesh, but by the spirit of God through relationship. 

It is this kind of relationship the Lord is currently building within His children. Preparing us to walk in relationship with Jesus, and out of this relationship to walk out our call to Glorify His name. You see it was quite different the second time Moses went to perform the task of his calling to Israel. This time he was directed by the Spirit of the Lord to go to Pharaoh and declare let my people go, that they may might bring the Lord a sacrifice, and worship the Lord.  Moses was now able to lead Israel into relationship with their God, out of the relationship that he now had with the Lord. Before he could only operate in the flesh out of a knowledge of his calling. Now he could do what was most necessary, and important. And that was to bring the people of Israel into relationship, which leads to worship. And that is where our greatest expression of our relationship comes to Him whom we love and know personally.

Acts 7:20-36

"In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:  And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.  And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.  And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:  For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.  And the next day he showed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?  But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?  Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?  Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Median, where he begat two sons. 

 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.  When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,  Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.  Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.  I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.  This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.  He brought them out, after that he had showed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. "

Exodus 4:29-5:1

" And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:  And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.  And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.  And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness."
