You have to leave sin and embrace suffering. You're not ready for a call of God if you
don't develop a huge threshold for pain. I know many of us come to Jesus to alleviate suffering
but Jesus and the call of God has an element of suffering that many times we don't tell you about.
The Bible does not say that Moses forsook pleasures of sin and embraced an abundant life.
He embraced a life of suffering. We have taught our people more on how to enjoy life
than how to endure life. We have raised snowflakes spineless Christians who melt when hardships come,
who melt when they get offended, who melt when their pride get injured,
who melt when somebody doesn't give them their parking space, who melt when they have to wait
for four hours in the line and not get in the service. Why? Because we have a generation
that has been massaged in their ego instead of being like Moses, who the Bible says he
embraced suffering with God's people. Living a Christian life is not being on the vacation.
It's more like being a Normandy Beach. It's a life of the cross not a life of a Pepsi Cola.
Many of us cannot enter the call of God because we're too soft.
We are scared of pain. We are scared of suffering. We are scared of persecution.
We are scared of losing our status. We are scared of being canceled. We are scared of
being demonetized. We are scared of being de-platformed. We are scared of getting
fired. We are scared of being broken up, that boyfriend leaving you. I want to tell you,
you will never walk in the call of God until you have a big threshold for suffering.
Every person must understand God's callings are activated by God's encounters.
An encounter with God activates your calling. You need, I need the fire of God for a calling. What
has happened in our nation is that Christianity has become this where you want to fulfill the
call of God, you go and get a degree. A biblical way was never a degree is you have to get fire.
That's why we have dead preachers preaching dead sermon to dead people. That's why churches are
closing because a degree does not break the yoke, anointing breaks the yoke. Degree does not drive
out demons, anointing drives out demons. A degree does not cause a homosexual to become a saint,
it is the power of the Holy Ghost and Moses could not deliver a nation before
Moses would have an encounter with the fire of God. Somebody shout, "Fire."
God's fires come on God's mountains and if you don't find your mountain, you will not
find the fire that you need to activate the call that you have. So many of us are looking
for connections and so many of us were like man, if only this person can get me on their podcast,
if only this pastor could just open the door for me, if only you can climb the mountain,
the hill of the Lord; If only you can encounter the presence of Jesus, you won't have to pull
yourself by your shoelaces because once God sets you on fire, listen things begin to fall
into place and no, you're not gonna be like me. You're not gonna be like him. You're gonna be like
you that God created you to be. The world does not need another Vlad, the world needs another you but
the real you is trapped inside because until you meet the fire, your calling won't start working.
You don't need a Facebook page to get your calling going, you need the fuego, a
fire.
Every breaker under the sound of my voice, you need a fire.
