MANY ARE CALLED

Part 2

 

Most people who are searching for God do not realize that He is closer than they think. As we discussed in Part 1, no-one can desire to find God unless He has first stirred them to. In spiritual terms, we call this being"called" by God. What happens is that He touches us on an unconscious level, while we cannot actually feel the touch itself, we are aware of its effects on us. We become conscious that we are in need of God, of a savior, of forgiveness. We have a new unexplainable desire to find Him and we have just become spiritual seekers.

 

In the unseen spiritual realm, the moment God reached out and touched our hearts we entered a spiritual window of opportunity, so to speak. It is a time when God sends an invitation to us to come and be washed and restored. How will you know that it has happened? The simplest answer is just this... you will want to find Him. Your natural, fallen nature has no desire to discover God, so nothing other than an active miracle on His part can make you look for Him.

 

There will be other signs along with this because during this window of opportunity God will present Himself to you a various ways. He may send someone to speak with you, you may read something by 'chance', or maybe it will be in the form of a dream or something as obvious as a church sermon that touches right into your heart. It doesn't matter which vessel God chooses, the point is that He will bring the Truth to you. And the Truth is that God's power and love are able to save you, and most surely will if you surrender your life to Him, turn your back on your old ways and follow Him.

 

Hebrews 7:25

"....Jesus Christ is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him."

 

God's invitation always asks for our surrender... and it always offers hope, forgiveness and salvation from everything that haunts you! If those words stir a hope or a longing that they could be for you, then do not look for further proof that God is calling you - He is. You may have a thousand reasons why you believe He would never want you, but if you want Him, then you can be certain that He wants you! For many of us, accepting words like this is not a simple task. Shall we discuss that next?
