Here Am I

When you have sought God or He has sought you and you are following his directions for your life you will encounter opposition. You may be taunted or ridiculed. People may question your authority, your ability, your education. Don’t take it personally.

When Moses encountered the burning bush God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. Moses accepted Gods call on his life.

Being well aware that he would be questioned by those God would send him before, he inquired of God saying, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?  And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.

If you have purposed in your heart to follow God and you know that you are doing what He has called you to do you must respond as Moses responded and say I Am That I AM sent me.  Don’t let anyone undermine the anointing and authority God is working through you. Boldly proclaim I Am sent me.

Sometimes people are afraid to fulfill Gods call on their life, or do what He has told them to do because they are afraid people may consider them as arrogant but what you must remember is that it is God and not you. You are simply a willing vessel. What some people may see as your confidence in your own skills or abilities is actually your confidence in God.

When the children of Israel murmured and complained against Aaron and Moses. Moses basically responded who are we, we are only Gods vessels, and we are doing what He has told us to do. You are not murmuring against us but against God.

You must understand as Moses did, people are not coming against you, but the gift, the Holy Spirit, the God in you. God does not have to defend what He is doing through you, nor will He. And you cannot compromise and become angry as Moses did when he hit the rock out of arrogance because he was tired of the people coming against him. Just do what God tells you to do.

When people come against you, and they will because of the favor on your life, pray for them as Jesus did in Luke 23:24 saying Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

God always provides you with the confidence and encouragement in Him and His ability to do the work that He has called you to do. As Paul said in Philippians 1:6 being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.  

Perhaps God has already called you or spoken to you, or maybe He is speaking to you now. Will you accept His call and say Here Am I?
