Have you ever felt called to do something that seemed impossible? How did you handle it? Did you talk to your spouse or closest friends/family for advice? Did you weigh out the pros and cons? Did you go after it or did you put it off until you felt comfortable enough that it would be successful and pleasing to the Lord?

The Lord calls you and me to do the impossible. To take ourselves out of the way and have faith that He will provide everything thing we need. At what point did you throw up your hands and say “OK God! show me the way, equip me. Show me a sign Lord!” Was it after trying and failing? Was it after weighing out the pros and cons and thinking on the advice from friends and/or family? Was it days, weeks, months, or years ? At what point did you follow the “impossible” that you were called to do and at point did you pray for His guidance, strength, and favor?

For all of us the answers will be different. That does not make any of the answers wrong. There are biblical text book “right” answers to all these questions. If you’ve been in church your entire life, or for any length of time, you know the “right” answers I am referring to. What does the Holy Spirit living in you say? What does His Word speak to you?

For me, the answer is years. I have known that the Lord has called me for years to share my many “lives”. I also believe, had I started when I first felt called these last few “lives” I’ve lived through wouldn’t have been the darkest of my life so far. Yet, here we are.

I’ve given up and cried to the Lord, “Show me the way, equip me Lord, to do as you’ve called me” I don’t need a sign. Jesus Christ dying the death I deserved , was the ultimate sign. For all of us.

So what happens next? Your guess is as good as mine, but the Word says in Mathew 7: 7-8 ⁷ “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

”knock, knock”
