18Jan2014 - Called to God's Sphere

How you doin?  Paulie was up 3 times last night with foot cramps.  Stacey has what she's calling "pinched disk" or "a pulled muscle" in her neck.  Whatever it is she's in a lot of pain.  She can hardly move her head/neck.  Please pray for her.  I've always said that our family faces attack right before breakthrough.  When we are getting ready to leave for a conference or some type of ministry at our own church, we usually have a rough 3 to 5 days before we leave.  We know for sure that the Jonathan Welton conference is going to advance the Kingdom in a way that will bring increase and breakthrough.  As I said before, between the fasting and the conference, Satan is stirred.  If Satan is stirred, that means God is stirred.  Satan is just a cheap counterfeit of what God is doing.  So we'll laugh at those who oppose us along with God. (Psalm 37:13)  If we're facing attack 3 weeks prior to the conference, this is going to be monumental.  1 Thessalonians 4 today.
Verses 7-8,  "For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but [h]in sanctification. So, he who rejects this is not rejecting man but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you."  I left the footnote here because it reads, " I.e. in the state or sphere of".  AWESOME!!!!!!!  Here sanctification means "in the state or sphere of".  God has called us to be in His sphere.  I love this.  If we've said "yes" to Jesus, we've received this call.  Receiving the call is great, but we most answer it with "YES".  I love the choice these verses present, impurity or sanctification.  Seems like a no brainer.  COME ON!!!!!!!
This chapter is very instructional.  That's it for me, since we're getting such a late start.  I hope you take the time to read this chapter.  It is really good.  Say "yes" to God's call today.
