you know the Bible over and over again mentions the word called the called ones the called of God and the word in its meaning in the original Greek language is even more powerful it’s when God reaches out to your life and calls you and he does that not with your ears necessarily right not with physical ears he calls you on the inside and uh that’s a wonderful thing to think about because God who is all loving and all kind is also all holy and All Pure and he’s the Eternal God and the Bible tells us that
his name is yah that’s right the god of the Bible has a name y a yah is the name of the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob the god of the Bible so listen when life gets tough and when life gets messy and difficult and we suffer through things God knows exactly what we’re going through because the Bible tells us he came to us in Christ Jesus when we’re tempted evil when we have fear surrounding us God knows exactly what we’re made of and he’s here to help us why because he knows that we are just as
the Bible says dust and isn’t that an amazing Proclamation because it is scientifically true the same elements that make up this universe makes up up very physical existence he knows that we’re weak but yet he’s called us into his presence to know him and to get ready to meet him and one day he’s going to call us either by death or by the Rapture of the church he’s going to call us unto himself and so I want you to be very very keenly aware of something you ought to be able to look inside yourself
and ask yourself am I a called one well grab your Bibles and let’s find out what the word of God has to say about you being called by God [Applause] Galatians 4:19 he says my little children this is Paul the Apostle speaking my little children isn’t that not beautiful for whom I labor and birth again until Christ is formed in you Christian that is the Salvation life and then the sanctification life that follows so Romans 8:28 says and we know that all things work together for good work it’s the word iron you can write it
down it’s on the screens actions behaviors Deeds the doings in example of the meaning of the word is as used described the work of a designer or a Craftsman using his tools to create or to finish his thought or idea I love that by bringing into physical existence I just love the fact that God made us creative individuals now some people are not so creative that’s okay you’re not supposed to apologize for that that God God died for your sins he didn’t die for your personality do you know that well he’s really loud and
she’s really quiet and I’m somebody in between and this person’s that way and they’re the other God loves that it’s the sins that God hated enough to go to the Cross to die in our place okay so if you’re quiet be quiet unto God if you’re a big mouth be a big mouth unto God but don’t try to be somebody else if he wanted you to be somebody else he would have made you that person so stop trying to be like them plus they’re probably trying to be like you anyway now the math of God is amazing in fact listen to
this this word work implies that all things are activated in the believer’s Life in other words all things are online not online online but online in power they’re working see you and I we fail to recognize this because we get bogged down in the mundane of life see we lose it because it’s the routine this is what happens friends listen please listen carefully the more predictable your life is in some areas fantastic but also the predictable things of your life that that are not effective that’s not
good God wants to take the predictable things where you’re seeking after him with all of your heart and you’re loving on God you’re going after him and then he takes your life and he transforms it into something incredibly active I don’t mean busy we need to get away from busy when I’m when I say active I mean activated your life in the spiritual realm when now you’re you’re alert to things you’re he you’re hearing from him he’s leading you and you want anything else but him to be speaking to you and
when that happens in our lives and we can decide today to have it happen that the word of God is going to be Supreme period you make up your mind that’s it all things work together for good to those who are called to those who love God according to the purposes that God has engineered for my life I’m going to go for it when that truth takes hold of your life when verse 28 takes control of your life Everything Changes I’m going to actually show you what happens when verse 28 takes control of your life um
so I don’t know if You’ ever heard of the national Bible B Championship uh it’s insane I mean I mean that in a good way I I’ve learned that from young people it’s it’s fire um hang on it’s busing that’s that’s something coming from somebody that I came from groovy this is amazing what happens when the spirit of God takes the word of God and gets a hold of your heart and it becomes real put your eyes on the screen all right here’s your last passage both riches and honor come
Madison 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18 sorry that is incorrect for the rest of you Bethany oh 1 Chronicles 29 10 through3 that is correct please recite it 1st Chronicles 29 10-13 wherefore David blessed the Lord before all the congregation and David said blessed be thou Lord God Israel Our Father forever and ever [Music] oh Lord you the greatness and the power and the glory and the Victory and the Majesty for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is
thine thine is the kingdom oh Lord and thou are exalted as head above all both riches and honor come of thee and now reignest over all and in thine hand is power and might and in thine hand it is to make great and to give strength unto all now therefore Our God we thank thee and praise thy glorious name 1 Chronicles 29 10-13 [Applause] [Music] Bethany bring us into your heart and mind what was going on there I just realized how powerful and in control goddess and how everything is just because of him and he’s so great and
amazing that ladies and gentlemen is the way the word of God should impact us praise God that’s awesome that’s what this is all about wow right I mean excuse me for a moment no that’s no harsh radish here not on that one wow so when trouble yeah when Trouble Comes to her life she knows that there’s a great one that she can go to she doesn’t have to have all the answers he’s got the answers she’s got what she’s got somewhere to go so many in our world today do not know you and I know people we have
relatives we have friends we have spouses or we have children or grandchildren they don’t know where to go they don’t know that that kind of God is available but he is I’m going to give you an equation God gave it to me it’s personal it’s it I’m I think I’m going to make don’t make a shirt I’ll make a shirt but God showed me some math this week preparing for this message 1 + 2 equals 1 you see you need to figure that out yep number one is all the good things in life are working out for my good all the
good things in my life are working out for my good because I love God it might be a little bit of love but I love God and I do know that I’m called because I can’t walk away from him and that he’s bringing his purposes about all the good stuff number two is all the bad stuff one good stuff number two bad stuff the bad stuff is working together for the good exactly as the good stuff I don’t see it I don’t understand it God says I got it I’m doing something here when 1 + 2 equals 1 God says I’ll
take the bad I’ll take the good I’ll take the good and I’ll take the bad and when I get done it’s one and it’s this way I’m in them all to bring you to one spot in one place and that is the likeness of my son that is the if you’re a Believer here today the only reason why you’re alive today you may think that there’s a thousand reasons why you’re alive I get it I understand that but according to God there’s one reason why you’re breathing right now as a Believer and
that is to bring his son Glory says the spirit of God John 14 John 16 and all the good comes out from that what about the bad God’s going to work the bad out too Bible says in James chap 1 verse 2 James 1:2 it says my breth en counted all joy when you’ll fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience but let patience have its perfect work that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing that means that that Perfection is not Holiness Perfection it means that God’s
got absolute lordship over your life and you’re yielded is it it’s amazing God says come with me where are we going we ask where are we going he says come with me you’re going to find out you want an exciting life follow God i’ rather jump off of a building yeah well I don’t know eventually you’re going to get you know tired of doing that or your parachute won’t open but if you want a thrilling life you ought to follow Jesus radically it’s funny in this world everything’s about extreme join us for an extreme
Adventure this fall you know what sign up you know on this tour and it’s an extreme get on your kayak and go down the Colorado River it’s an extreme extreme yeah let’s sign up it’s extreme and then I show up and say hey follow Jesus it’s totally extreme and people like what go be be quiet but listen you start at one end of the river you end at it’s over with him it never ends never ends with him and when it says that all things are working together this is awesome the word together in the Greek language
means it’s coming from the outer limits to the center it’s coming from what’s outside to the middle all that’s going on life in the world around you you name it from what’s Happening to the Middle East outer space on your street in your yard at your dinner table on your skin the target is your heart what will you do with the information and how do you process all that’s going on in the world friends listen people are losing their minds right now because of what’s going on in the world because they will not look at
the Bible seriously people are all caught up in rioting and all kinds of opinions and they’re protesting and violence they don’t even know what they’re doing they don’t understand there’s an eternal plan at work but listen when there’s no God in your life you’re going to lose it listen if there’s no God then drink all you want you need it but if there is a God you need to know him and listen just this is free young people stop stop with the stop with being offended what people are saying on
your in on your Tik Tok or whatever your thing is did somebody say something to you and they didn’t like you this week and it hurts your feelings yeah who said that I don’t know it was star puffy fish 13 said it do you know star puffy fish 13 no then what are you upset about they said something do you see how nuts our world is first clue kid anybody who names themselves Starry puffy fish 13 ain’t worth a minute conversation and the other thing is no matter no matter what you say to them they’re not going to be happy with your
answer if you really want to get involved in something that is social and extreme follow Jesus and instead of being a victim to the internet why don’t you become a Victor in the internet W you why you throw some Bible verses out there see what happens for give them John 3:16 all the way to verse 21 Watch What Happens you’ll have 50% people loving you and 50% of the people will hate you John go ahead that’s John 3:16 to 21 when you follow Jesus you’re going to be loving when you follow Jesus you’re
going to be hated if Christ came back today do you know what the world would do to him crucify him that kill him again don’t think that we’ve evolved into some more tolerant creature no if Jesus showed up today the only people who would love on him would be those who recognize that they’re Sinners did you know that read your Bible all those who wanted to kill them did not believe they were Sinners he’s the Friend of Sinners the Bible says so I want to be in the front of the line that doesn’t mean I go out
and sin in fact as I am now I sin less than I ever have but but I’m a sinner I see my sin worse now than I ever have I’m getting closer to Jesus but what Still Remains is disgusting look at me look I’m dressed up for you today see this inside you don’t know what this is doing right now you don’t know where this is at you know it’s true about you you can be sitting right here and your mind be a thousand miles from church and God knows it all but when the Holy Spirit gets a hold of you goes to work and he does a
beautiful thing and so church we Revel in the fact that when it says to those who are the called so it’s the number one prerequisite to the verse being applied to your life is in the first part of verse 28 do you love God we’re called to love him and you can’t love someone unless you find out about them there’s people who have fallen in love on online relationships or what are they called longdistance relationships and stuff uh and it’s kind of it’s It’s from what I’ve heard it’s been kind of cool
for a lot of people because they lived so far away that they couldn’t cross any moral lines so they conversed with one another and he made he makes comments like this wow this relationship’s been amazing and we plan on getting married but I didn’t realize I could talk so much well why why is that cuz all we do is talk online she lives in another country and our relationship came about this way and was all listen how did they get to know each other conversation and then listen here’s another tip boy I’m just giving out the
relational tips here right now in this service girls this is especially applicable to you if you’re interested in the guy and he says he’s interested in you ask him to pray for you and not like this so hey Rocky will you pray for me yeah sure babe no I mean now you mean like on the phone yeah uh hey that’s a warning don’t get messed up with some guy that you’re not impressed with I’m not talking about his biceps I don’t care about his pocketbook is he humble enough to pray for you and pray over
you that’s somebody to consider think about that it’s all free again it’s all free wasn’t even in my notes second prerequisite is being called called those who are the called definite article the called meaning those who have been invited into the family of God how does that happen God invites you did you know that church the Bible teaches that God will invite you into his family to be one of the called ones well I don’t know what comes to your mind about that word called ones but listen friends it’s it’s beautiful
called the Bible tells us in Jeremiah 333 that God says call unto me and I will hear you call unto me and I will save you call when God calls you’re going to know it this way he’s going to be speaking to your heart God’s invitation to you personally is to open up your heart your life to willfully let him into your life into your world but listen friends this is very very serious not as an add-on God is not an add-on he’s not a module that we plug in God says that he’s to be number one on the list of one not number one on a
list of 10 he is your creator and he loves you and he built you for a reason and so when we talk about us being the called ones we should know it the Bible says these things have been written that you might know that you have eternal life you have been called but somebody might be asking the question how do I know for sure are let me give you this do you want God in your life do you want your sins forgiven do you want your conscience cleared you’ve been called by God if you’re saying I don’t want anything to do with this Jack
I don’t really care people are making me watch this right now and I’d rather not even be listening to this then you’re not called it’s that simple if you don’t care about eternal things if you don’t care about heaven if you don’t care about your sin and your guilt if you’re just as cold as ice you’re not called but if you are touched in your conscience if you do realize that you’ve broken The Ten Commandments you did tell a lie just one lie in your life qualifies you for not only hell it also
qualifies you for salvation that’s right Jesus Christ came to save Sinners and Paul the Apostle said he is the chief of Sinners wow well I think I am how about you all you need to do right now is to age with God that he is the savior you are the sinner that if you call upon him that he will save you from your sins but that all happens because he’s called you first do you want Jesus not religion Jesus Christ not rules and regulations a personal relationship with almighty God pray to him call out to him and say that
to him Lord I Want You Lord I need you I give you my life Jesus take control if you have prayed that prayer in your own words perhaps please let us know we want to hear from you we want to send you a Bible and we want to make sure that you’re well taken care of spiritually no matter where you are in the world we’d love to hear from you jacobs.
