There is a call on your life that will affect destinies. The voice of Him who speaks is calling out your name. Do you recognize His sound? Can you hear Him beckoning you to come closer? There are other voices drawing you to themselves and promising grandeur and greatness, but they are imitations and shadows of something higher. Do not fall for their pitch, for they are distractions and distortions of the God-given potential within you.
The direction you seek can only be found in answering the higher call on your life. But you must settle who you are before you can hear the call. It is only when you settle your identity first – who you are, in Him – that you will clearly hear the call and walk with purpose and power. It is only when you are willing to be set apart that you will discover that which you were created for.
Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book. Hebrews 10:7 ESV
You have been created to move mountains. You carry seed that has been born of heaven that can transform the earth. Thus, there is a war over your call. You must be prepared to contend for that call, for the enemy seeks forfeiture. He will appeal to your flesh but will leave you with a bowl of soup instead of the feast your Father intends. You must know that there is a price for the journey ahead.
There is no call without a cost. There is no reward without a reckoning. In your search for meaning, you must count the cost of that which is your portion and your promise. The scroll that has been written for you has not come cheaply.
I see a battle between that which is convenient and that which is consecrated. For those with a high call on their life, a war is raging over your response. Seducing voices promote comfort and self-fulfillment, but the Spirit is calling for those who dare to lay down their lives and sacrifice for a greater cause. It is only in dying to self that you will find the power to move forward. It is only in sanctifying your desires that your heart can rightly lead you.
For those who heed the call, know that your journey will not be one of easy access or sudden promotion. To say “Yes,” you will be misunderstood, rejected, and ostracized by those who cannot see where you’re headed. To take the higher road may require some pruning of both friends and the familiar. It will require hard choices, times of isolation, and seeming setbacks. But know that the toll that is required for your journey will give you access to an inheritance that will far outlive you and a testimony that will endure time.
You have been created with the capacity for greatness. Do not fall for cheap imitations of success. Do not look for a fast track to fulfillment. Dare to be different. Dare to walk away from the crowd and pioneer something new. Do not settle for lesser crowns but press in and press on for the greater reward.
If you are a part of this coming generation of history makers and world changers, determine your course. Settle your identity and determine the cost of the high calling on your life. Know that your mark will not be made without being set apart. Convenience and comfort may soothe the soul and pacify the flesh, but consecration of those who set themselves apart will unleash anointing and power to birth movements and transform nations.
