I heard this message and I thought some of you needed to hear it, because whether you’re 2 or 102, you have a call on your life. If you’re older, I want to encourage you not to give up, and if you’re younger, take it seriously. Whatever phase we’re in in our life, our call matters. This is a tremendous message called “Walk Out Your Call Unhindered” and I thought it would challenge you this morning to be the warrior God has called you to be.

“Take some time to study the Word. What are the promises of God upon my life? What is the inheritance of a believer? When you are rooted in the Word of God, you can’t be easily shaken. I’m reminded by something- when the Lord came out of the wilderness and went to the synagogue, the first Scripture He read was the Scripture in Isaiah:
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
Isaiah 61.1-3 NIV

He begins to list out the things He has been anointed for. One of them is to proclaim liberty to the captive. You see, that is so fascinating to me and so profound. He is to tell the captives- those who are living life like they are bound- He is to let them know, ‘Hey, guys. You’re actually free because of who I am and what I represent.’ What is keeping you bound right now in your life? Whatever it is, you have freedom in Jesus Christ. Who the Son sets free is free indeed. If it’s an addiction, if it’s a behavior, if it’s a mindset, lay it down before Him and replace that lie with the truth of God’s Word. You have to know what is the knowledge of God and what are the arguments against the knowledge of God. In that, you will find personal freedom. I’m believing this for you and I just want to say a word of prayer and we’ll seal this.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for everyone [reading] this. Lord God, I thank You that You know them, You see them, You know them by name. Lord, I pray that as they study Your Word, that Holy Spirit, You would make the Scriptures alive to them, that it would not just be head knowledge, but it would be sealed in their hearts who they are because of You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” ~Stephanie Ike
I pray that you claim that today and have an awesome day, whatever you’re going to be doing!
