Acts 9, Mark 11:1-11

FAITH CAPSULE:  Answering the directions of God for all must be done unfailingly.

The direction of God is His word, a live wire not to be a victim in all areas of life.
Think, what withholds you from responding to the calling of God?
Abraham did not withhold himself from responding to the calling of God for the sacrifice of his only son.
God responded to the obedience of Abraham, sending His Angel, stating, ” And He said, ‘Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” (Genesis 22:12)
Deep in his heart, Abraham had obeyed God, sacrificing his son before it happened in the physical.
Before God, obedience to His direction counts for the glory of God.
Abraham obeyed God.
What is holding you down from answering the calling of God upon your life?
Acts 9, Mark 11:1-11
Jesus commanded His disciples in Mark 11:2-3, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.” (Mark 11:2-3) 
Jesus saw a colt in a position.
However, the colt was tied so as not to be available for the use of Jesus.
Just as the colt was tied down, not to be ridden by the glory of God, are you being tied down, not to be answered and be used by God?
Jesus needed a colt that was not tied down, a colt that was loose.
What must be in place for you to enter into your divine assignment? 
Many are consciously or unconsciously tied down and not available to serve God.
Some are tied down and do not know that they are tied down while engaging in the celebration of Jesus, evidence of not being connected to Jesus.
Answering the calling of God, not being tied down, makes the difference between all the acclaimed believers of Jesus as Lord and Savior.
What is holding you down from answering the calling of God upon your life?
Have the desire for God as a way of life.
Determination is not enough to help in answering the calling of God, but the grace of God is what will get you into your divine assignment.
The word of God promises that “He will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go and He will guide you with His eye” (Psalm 32:8). 
What is holding your life down from answering the calling of God?
Determination is not enough to answer the calling of God, but the desire to walk with God, gaining the mercy of God, will deposit all that it takes to answer the calling of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to live life for Him.
