The Lord’s Call

The picture in John 1 ends with the Lord calling the disciples. The calling recorded by John is different from Matthew, Mark and Luke. In Matthew, Mark and Luke there are twelve disciples, but John didn’t count the number. The number is open; it can still be counting up because John’s ministry is to finish the work. The Lord is calling the generation that will finish the work, the generation that will set up the ladder to join earth and heaven, allowing the King to come and step on the earth. The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of the Lord and of His Christ. Do you know who is going to set up this ladder? This generation.

The burden of this first message is to show us the importance of John’s ministry, to recover our heart and put us into the team. The Lord does not choose the best players for His team; He chooses the worst. None of us are qualified. Nevertheless, on the Lord’s team we are all champions. Why? Because of the name, because of the word. The Lord has laid the foundations for building: the name and the word of the Lord. We cannot let go of these foundations. We have the true witness. We have what is holy, what is true, the beginning of the creation of God. We are very satisfied with what the Lord has given us. I hope that we all might stand up and join this team. We were called to be the last generation to set up this ladder and take the gospel of the kingdom to the whole inhabited earth. We need to allow the Lord to work in us so that we might be prepared and perfected as the bride of the Lamb. We are absolutely not abandoning anything the Lord has prepared for us. Philadelphia has a legal, judicial foundation of the truths that the Lord brought to the recovery. But more than this, we want the living word. Jesus is Lord! Let us pray. Let us consecrate ourselves to the Lord. Let us make small groups with a prayer of consecration, even on our knees. Let us consecrate ourselves to the Lord. The Lord needs to gain our heart. The Lord needs to put us into this generation that will finish the work.
