What is your Purpose? Are you called? Are you Chosen? Have you truly been Sent?

[karen d washington]

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that morn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

John 4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 6 When he had thus spoken, clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 7 And said unto him, Go wash in the pool of Si-lo-am, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and he came seeing.

God has called the people of God for a time such as this to preach in season and out of season in order to bring the people back to God. The people are crying and moaning for their God to hear their cry due to emotional stress, depression, poverty, loneliness, bitterness, anger, sickness etc... and the people of God should stand as Samuel and say, "Speak Lord for your servant listener" or shall speak as Isaiah "Send me Lord and I will go." Are shall I be as Ezekiel and say "“Who Hath Believed Our Report?," or Jeremiah "It is just like fire shut up in my bones," or the three Hebrew boys "If my God does not deliver it does not mean that he can." People of God, stand boldly before the face of my father at the time of need to bring forth deliverance to his people. When God call, you are equipped for battle, standing on his word with the whole armor of God, so you can stand against the wiles of the devil.

Rest assure for Jesus is mines and there is none before him and there will never be another like him. Being sent by God is more than having a name for your self or just being well known. It is the measure of faith that bring forth the power of deliverance for his people. The question is "Are you sent by God, did you go and wash in the pool of Si-lo-am so you may see the mysteries of God to behold his beauty, to know him for who he is?" It is time to fall off your beast, off of your high place and go to the city of Damascus, on your knees, so you can meet the Ananias in your life so you may receive your sight. People of God, let us go to the pool of So-lo-am and wash the blindness off our eyes and let us go the the city of Damascus and find the Ananias who suppose to give us the direction the go forth in God, so the scales can fall from our eyes. People of God, let us go so we can be made whole as God said to Ezekiel prophesy to the dry bones so they may live, dry bones I command you to live.

Dry bones of depression, Dry bones of confusion, Dry bones of lies, Dry bones of death, Dry bones o laziness, Dry bones of falsehood, Dry bones of being high minded, Dry bones of nobody can tell me nothing for I know it all, Dry bones of limitation, Dry bones of you are not good enough, Dry bones of you will never make it, Dry bones of Lust, Dry bones of perverseness, Dry bones of homosexuality and lesbianism, Dry bones oh Dry bones I command you in the name of Jesus "LIVE." For I have been sent by God and I will no longer be tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine. Dry bones I command you to live.

I receive the word of God. I am fortunate enough to have encountered what God is speaking through you. There is a measure of faith that is essential to be in a position to walk and to speak. A bunch of folk are speaking, but they can't move with the spritual fortitude that God is requiring. Churches are packed, but is it because of men's agenda, or the sovereign rule and will of God? God's leaders must be transparent. It is because that there are so many struggles in living that somehow there is not any expectation. We are measuring what God is going to do based on what we have seen. But, by faith, I am stretching my hand to God to experience things that no one has seen! When Jesus raised Lazarus, there was an expectation of Martha that her brother would not have died if Jesus were there earlier. This is based on the fact that Martha understood AND KNEW JESUS AS A HEALER. She was even in the word when she mentioned that her brother would be raised in the last day. But Jesus is going to do that which we cannot even begin to perceive ("eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him."). So Martha's experience with Jesus gave her an idea of what would have happened, but Jesus had to let her know that what she thought should have happened in her life, was based on her experience. But what Jesus showed her was that her past experience was only a foreshadowing of his divine ability. I AM THE RESURRECTION, AND I AM THE LIFE! This is what lifts us, the same spirit, that puts the world on notice, that this thing is far more than what your previous experience would suggest. I am compelled to write this, and identify the presence of the the holy ghost in you, keep us in your prayers. Keep walking and talking (walking in the spirit, and speaking, publishing, preaching, and teaching the word of God.
