God is Involved: The Calling and Will of God

(Your name), listen to what you are saying. Let yourself believe, love, and be thankful for the truth!

…I repent and turn from fear about what God is calling me to do. I reject and renounce even the little beginnings of fear. Courage, rise up in me. I will believe God because the person of Jesus Christ is with me here… (pause to hear, believe, and love it as the truth!)

…I will believe God for all that He wants me to do. I renounce and reject the pattern of disbelief and then grieving and mourning about the loss. I repent and turn from grief that comes from disbelief—what might have been will be because God is with me… (pause to hear, believe, and love it as the truth!)

..I turn from doubt about God’s wisdom in choosing to use me. God knows everything about me, and He knows everything about what needs to be done. I will rejoice and be confident about what He has asked me to do… (pause to hear, believe, and love it as the truth!)

…I repent of hopelessness about the calling of God on my life. Hope, rise up in me. I will believe God. I put my hope in You Lord. By faith, I believe that my eyes are on Jesus and the Father before me here…

…I repent of feelings of helplessness about what God wants me to do. Faithfulness, rise up in me. I will be confident about what God is asking. I set my heart to work, play, fight, and rest in Him…

…I will not shrink back because the mountain before me is so great. The Lord is my guide, and I will follow one step at a time. Confidence and courage be strong in me…

…I turn from distractions that take me away from what God wants for each moment. Faithfulness, rise up in me. I will use my time to prepare myself for doing what God has asked…

…I repent of sadness because of daydreams about what might have been. I will not agree with the enemy to weep inside because of doubt about being able to do what God wants. I will believe God…

…I repent and turn from disbelief about what God is asking me to do. It can be done and God is asking me to do it. I will not doubt Your judgement in this Lord… (pause to hear, believe, and love it as the truth!)

…I will not settle for living without vision and purpose. God has selected and asked me to do it. I will not be afraid. I will believe that God will bring to pass all that He desires to accomplish through me…

…I turn from disbelief about my adequacy to do what God wants. The God who has called me is adequate to make it happen. I put my trust in You, Lord, and I am turning my heart to trust that my eyes are looking at You, Lord…

“Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass” (1 Thess. 5:24).

“for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Rom. 11:29).

“My Spirit is abiding in your midst; do not fear!” (Hag. 2:5).

“God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord” (1 Cor. 1:9).

Heart, “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” (Phil. 4:13) because the nearness of God is my strength: “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart exults, and with my song I shall thank Him” (Psa. 28:7).

“…Be strong and courageous, and act…” (1 Chron. 28:20).

“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus” (Phil. 1:6). (pause to hear, believe, and love it as the truth!)

Therefore, I will hide myself in the presence of God and His kingdom so that the demonic realm can’t push hopelessness onto me. I receive and rest in Your presence God so I can protect myself from discouragement while waiting “For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay” (Hab. 2:3).

NEW BOOK

Barry Hall’s first book, Receiving God’s Kingdom by Joyful Repentance, will help you to recognize the practical evidence of how we try to fill our need for God’s presence and kingdom with what we get from worldly substitutions, other people, sinful behaviors, and ourselves. It explains that in doing this, we receive pride that we put on like a coat around us for identity. Without realizing it, we put faith in our pride and try to abide inside it for protection, strength, and worth instead of receiving God’s kingdom and presence as needed. This book also explains repentance as a joyous process that changes our minds one step after another as we listen to ourselves, making bold and joyous declarations of repentance and faith.
