Often times people will actually trip themselves up, create pebbles and walls simply by trying to search for their “calling.” In the flesh, it seems okay with what they are doing, and shows their character to be good because they are very passionate about trying to work and search for their calling. But none of that lines up with the Bible as a whole, the complete Word inspired and revealed by the Holy Spirit. And only God is good. The question, however, still seems to always rise, and the deeper our relationship with Jesus becomes, the more we realize how very personal it really is: what are we “called” on earth to do? Well, broken down and stripped bare, we have learned it really is a simple question: nourish our relationship with the Great I Am through Jesus, our Savior. It is all about our Creator, the Creator of all things, Who calls us. And that is when it becomes amazingly miraculous and profound! It is a search that requires “no searching” because we need to become internal beings first by turning within and nourishing our relationship with our Shepherd, focusing only on Him as the Holy Spirit cushions us within and establishes, secures and sustains an eternal relationship with us. There is no external searching for the “calling,” because it is first and foremost, an internal call from our Creator, a relationship through our Savior with His Sacrificial Blood coating us. Our identities reside in Jesus. You know, that is why all irritations, both minor and major, along with sicknesses, horrors of the flesh, uncertainties, doubts, and all things you would never associate with God can become so very important to us, because it reminds us God is greater than all things, and simply, He created all things. All things will obey Him. It reminds us we are not here to do it all ourselves, by ourselves and alone, but all we have to do is simply turn within to Him. ‘And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified.’ (Romans 8:28-30)  Our King Jesus reigns within us and with our spiritual eyes and ears attuned only to Him, He then is able to show us, moment by moment “in the flesh,” needs needing met, wrongs needing righted and anything and everything Abba wants us to uniquely be a part of, while at the same time we are privately being nourished, molded, healed, inspired, forgiven and restored, cleansed and strengthened: a fortified tower. It is another profound reminder that we cannot give what we have not received. Our true identities reside in Jesus, and what a wonderful reminder it is during this beautifully private and profound Fall Holy Days of Abba’s. Last week we celebrated Yom T’rooah, the Feast of Trumpets, reminding us to anticipate the coming of our Lord in Him blowing the shofar and coming for us, marking the beginning of another new year in Him; while last night at sunset The Day of Atonement celebration began, Yom Kippur. This feast is in Leviticus 16 & 17; 23:27. It is a foreshadow of the ultimate sacrifice, which has been fulfilled by Jesus, our Sacrificial Lamb.    Richly coated in His Blood we turn within and boldly stand before the Great I Am while the Holy Spirit fortifies our request as we answer His call: “Here I Am, Abba.”
