He did ask of a rich young man to set aside his concerns over his father's estate even before his father was dead and to come with him. The man felt he could not do so, but that does not teach me that I am also called to do the very same. There is a principle taught there, and it is taught and repeated often within local bodies of Christ Jesus. That being to do all that is done to the glory of God, no matter what one is doing. Many of us are called to drop or suspend what we are presently doing, and to go to other places and take up a task for reasons not even known as we do it. Absolutely every local body of Christ I have known gathers together in support of those among us so called. We offer sacrificially financial support and company and labor in the endeavor. May I encourage you to pay about going at the very next call from your own local body, and to be prepared by saving u for the financial need of that endeavor, and also to give generously to others as they too go? Hear the call? Go! hear the need? Give! There are both calls and needs today. Listen carefully when at the local body with brothers and sisters in Christ worshipping and serving our Lord and savior Jesus. Be alert to the idea that when you personally become aware and hear the call that it is for you, not for another. Hopefully He will give you a jingle very soon and you will be ready to go at that moment without hesitation. Amen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather, they disobey, yet claim to be 'right'. The true Ekklesia? Look FIRST in Scripture - they ALWAYS obey the Father, and if they stumble/ sin/ fail/ disobey, they are chastised, scourged, disciplines, corrected. Churches do not like that. They fail. They disobey. They lead multitudes astray. They hate the LIGHT! ? ! Thus, only A feW, EVER MAKE IT. oNLY those who give up everything to be His permanent disciples. Few, not many.

Never, not ever, no never converted. Never saved. Never seeking God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
