God has called each of us to Himself and has a distinct purpose for our lives. It is my prayer that this message will help you discover the call of God upon your life and move into it.

This message on “God Has a Special Purpose for Your Life” is from personal experience and from the Word of God. The translation into the Czech translation is by Pastor Stan Strunc of In His Love Ministries in Gloucester, England.

Notes: The Call of God I: God Has a Special Plan for Your Life

2 Timothy 1:8-11 

The call of God on your life is something that contributes to God’s eternal purposes. It involves surrender and obedience. Jesus said Many are called but few are chosen. Many are called, but few take up the mantle. The price.

General Call to Come to the Lord

• GEN. 7:1 Come into the ark
• Is. 1:18-18 Come let us reason together
• Is 55 Ho everyone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters come ye buy and eat, buy wine and milk w/out money,
• Mt. 11:28-30 Come unto me all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
• Joh 7:37 If any man thirst, let him come
• 2 Cor. 6:17 Come out from among them and be separate, and touch not the unclean thing.
• Rev 22:17 Come let him who is athirst come.

Called to Service

Mark 1:17 Follow me and I will make you fishers of men, We are all called to have a part in fulfiling the Great Commission. Mt. 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-20, Luke 24:47, Acts 1:8. God has something for YOU to do!

Examples of the Call of God

• Abraham went out not knowing where he was going Gen 12:1-3, Heb 11
• Moses and the burning bust. Ex. 3 When he turned aside, he heard God’s voice.
• Gideon Judges 6:14 go in this thy might, Called to do something he could not do.
• ! Kings 19:19 Elisha. Sometimes someone else is involved. Good. But you stil have to receive the call yourself.
• Isaiah— Isaiah here I am send me. Is. 6
• Paul called according to His purpose. 

Read Acts 26:13-23

Evidence of the Call

1. A personal experience with God, a burning bush or Damascas road experience.
2. A prophetic word. (You must have a personal witnesss. Don’t follow every prophecy that is given to you)
3. Hearing God’s voice
4. An inward yearning from the Holy Spirit. For me, a passionate desire to preach and teach and minister to people.

Conclusion: God has a special purpose for your life. Be sure you don’t miss it!
