Here I am


God does not call those who do not believe.
He does not waste His time with unbelieving, disobedient, arrogant people.
He only calls those who say: Here I am.
It was so in the past, it is this way in the present and it will be this way in the future.
Abraham listened to God’s voice and obeyed;
Moses also listened and obeyed;
Joshua listened and obeyed;
Gideon listened and obeyed.
Peter, James, John, Paul and many others that were called also obeyed.
All who trusted in Him, obeyed.
Looking back on each of their lives, I ask:
Which one suffered loss or had things go wrong when they obeyed God’s direction?
Not one.
Do you suppose this voice is now silent?
Did God tire of calling people?
When there is no one left in this world that is willing to obey, then His voice will fall silent.
At this very moment, as you read these words, the Spirit of God is calling you by name.
So then, will you continue to live in sin and close your ears to the sweet Voice of God?
How have you profited, in the bad lifestyle that you’ve been living?
Are you tired of living this way?
The Holy Spirit is calling you NOW!
Take advantage of this moment of distress, find a quiet place, even a bathroom will do, and respond:
HERE I AM, HOLY SPIRIT,
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
And when you least expect it, the Holy Spirit will answer you.
Just wait.
“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you,” John 15.16.
