I remember a Steven Curtis Chapman song ‘For the Sake of the Call’…
The Lord has just brought it back to mind…
The refrain goes,
We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die for the sake of the call
The Lord has a word for me…
“Yes Andrew, you will”…
“This is why I called you”…
“To complete what I began when I was on earth”…
“The commission was given but it was not completed”…
“It will be completed in your lifetime”…
“You will lay down your life for the sake of the call”…
“It is the call now not your life”…
“I am removing you from your life and giving you My call on your life”…
“You know what the call is – I have told you before – it is to see the salvation of the world and the purification of My Church right to the end”…
“This is the call which is on your life – you will not be released until you complete it – I will be everything you need – My Spirit within you will be everything you need”…
“You do not need anything else – if I choose to give you human companionship throughout your journey then this is My decision – I will give you what you need – you are to focus on Me and My call on your life”…
“Listen to Me – I will lead you – I will show you where to go – when to go and how to go – I will speak through you – I will instruct you how to conduct yourself in every situation”…
“You will know Me – you will know Me in your call”…
“You will see Me as I have never been seen before by you – you will see Me in My passion to take this world for Myself – to make this world in all practicality My own Possession – and to take My Church from glory to glory until She is pure in the final generation before My return – you shall see it – wait for it and labour for it – you shall see it”…
“I am with you as you work with Me in the call”…
“Love you”…
Jesus…
