“So yesterday I was reading in the book of 1 Samuel and at how the Lord kept calling for Samuel but he didn’t know it was the Lord and so he kept going to Eli..Amen..and finally Eli tells Samuel if you hear it again you say speak Lord your servant is listening..Amen..because the bible says that Samuel did not know the Lord it says the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him..1 Samuel 3:1-10..Amen..but I couldn’t help but think to myself at how there are many in whom assume that they are called of the Lord..Amen..or many whom is and has been called of the Lord..but have closed their ears from hearing..and they have closed their hearts from receiving..Amen..because the bible says that many are called..but few are chosen..Matthew 22:14..Amen..and you and I both know many in our lives who are and have been called..there is a difference in them and their lives..for you know when they speak..you know when their presence is there that they are called of the Lord..Amen..and we know it..Amen..we hear and we perceive lies or deception from others in whom claim that they have been called or anointed of the Lord..Amen..so this morning my whole point is this..be very careful in whom you are listening too..Amen..because nowadays every where you look everyone is trying to preach the message of the cross of Christ..or they are just adding Jesus to it and trying in their own power to make something happen..and just say something..Amen!”

“But all the while there is no anointing..there is no power..and there is no presence of the Almighty God there with these people..Amen..so again you as a child of God knows the truth..and you will hear the err of these people that are trying to just say things..that is incorrect and not right..Amen..and why will you know?..because Jesus lives on the inside of you..Amen..and He alone gives us discernment..for we know that it truly takes the foolish things of the world to confound the wise..1 Corinthians 1:27..and God takes the least of them and uses them greatly..Amen..He takes the ones that are and have been the last of everything in life and makes them the first..Amen..so a lot of times we receive the err for the way they look..the way they dress..the money they have..all the while looking at the outward and not the inward..Amen..because God does look at our hearts..1 Samuel 16:7..Amen..so again don’t follow the crowd in your life all the while not following the power and presence of God..Amen..because while following the crowd you may get lost..but you my friend follow Jesus in your life and in your heart..follow His anointing..because the enemy is real and he’ll do anything to lead us astray..but when we know the Lord and we hear Him calling us as He alone did Samuel I pray we hear..we listen and we respond as he did..hear am I Lord your servant is listening..because its one thing not to know the Lord but its another whole thing when you do know the Lord and don’t respond to the call of Christ on you and your life..so listen to the Lord..hear His voice calling out for you today..and respond..knowing again that many have been called..but only few have been chosen..and hear the truth and follow the truth in your life..for you will know it..when you hear it and when you feel it..for it will stop you dead in your tracks..for in His presence everything changes..so let repond and then let us follow through..Praise the Lord..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
