THE HOPE OF YOUR CALLING

My Dear Precious Child,
   In one of the writings of the Holy Spirit I said that I want you to have a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Me, having the eyes of your understanding enlightened so that you will know the hope of your calling, the riches in the glorious inheritance of the saints, and the immeasurable greatness of power in you as a believer.  (Ephesians 1:18-19)  We have looked at and understood the riches of your inheritance and the greatness of My power in you, but we have not examined the truth of the hope of your calling.
   My magnificent calling of the Gentiles (unbelievers) to a life filled with My goodness and kindness, to My love and to My joy was considered blasphemy to some of My children of the flesh, the Jews, because of their claim of being My only children.  I call the unbelievers to be born of My Spirit and baptized in My Spirit, calling them into a Father/child relationship with Me through which they have the ability to become changed into My image by the power of My Holy Spirit,  Your calling by Me had nothing to do with works of religious laws, as was required by the Jews, but it was a new calling based on faith in Me. 
   Only believing in My Son Jesus qualifies you to become My child without ever having to obey Jewish religious laws.  It is called becoming My child of faith.  Having been born of My Spirit and baptized in My Spirit, you become One with Me with the hope of your flesh also becoming changed into My image in the earth. (Ephesians 4:4; John 17;11 and 22)  Having always been pagan and never having observed the religious laws of Israel, the only thing that is required on your part is your answering My call to become My child, fulfilling the pleasure of My goodness to you by the work of faith via My power.  It is a special calling by Me, calling you by faith into My kingdom of love, which is My all powerful and eternal family.  (II Thessalonians 1:11) I said that not many wise men in the flesh or mighty men or noble men are called, but I said that I call the foolish of the world to confound the wise. (I Corinthians 1:26-27)
   The hope of your calling is that you enter into My kingdom of heaven by inheriting My good and kind gifts to My children while you live in the earth and also when you enter into My heavenly home just like your brother Jesus did.  He relinquished His claim to My Holy Spirit and He sent My Spirit to live inside of you to lead, guide and direct you away from the evil that is in the world .  My Holy Spirit calls you to become transformed by the renewing of your mind to what is My will in your life, which is to have the mind of Christ supplant your human mind.  When you answer that calling, pressing on to the high mark of the calling of Christ, then My kingdom comes into your life on earth as it is in heaven. (Philippians 3:14)
   My plan for the world and My children was by My unmerited favor to save them from the works of the devil.  That was My calling for you before the world began.  It was My backup plan in case the first man sinned and allowed the devil to enter into the world and become lord of it by dispensing his evil into it.  I found a way for My Son to enter into the earth via being born of a woman and I worked My power in the earth through Him.  He died for the sins of the whole world and came back into My heaven with Me, sending into the world His power source, My Holy Spirit, to live inside of people and transform them into My children. 
   You are the child of a holy calling, having been afforded a new and glorious way to become My child of promise in the earth, that being by faith and by My power and not by observing religious laws.  I challenge you and My other children to be diligence to make My call to you and your acceptance of My call a sure and certain occurrence so that you will never fail in anything because you have allowed My Holy Spirit to train your flesh into becoming My image in the world just like your spirit has been transformed by Him. (II Timothy 1:9)
   Make it your aim to strive toward that glorious calling of being completely transformed into the image of My Son Jesus Christ by having your mind renewed and by your being tutored by My Holy Spirit.  My calling is not that you rigorously strive to win souls for Me.  My calling is that you become changed into My image of love in the earth so that people will see your good works of love and glorify Me. They will desire to become My image in the world because they see Me in you, the image of My love, peace, kindly affection, goodness, godly virtues, mercy, joy, patience and faith also, in answer to My plan of changing you. (II Peter 1:10; Matthew 5:14-16)
   Until you personally know the hope of your calling, you will labor in the flesh for Me instead of praying and allowing Me to do the calling of people and your working with My Holy Spirit as He tutors you into becoming My image in the world.  The combination of My work of calling people and your work of allowing My Holy Spirit to cause you to become the image of My characteristics in the earth brings people to accept My calling to them of also becoming My child who is transformed into My image in the earth. 
    When Jesus walked the earth, He was My image and people were drawn to Him as being My image in the world.  He said if you saw Him, you saw Me.  My plan for you is for you to also be able to make that statement, that when people see you, they see Me in you because you have allowed My Holy Spirit to transform you into becoming My image in the earth so that you can also flood the earth with My love.
   Your willingness and diligence is all that is required of you.  My Holy Spirit does the work of molding you into My image.  You are the clay and He is the potter. (Isaiah 64:8)
    When My Spirit is allowed to transform you into My image, people will see your good works of love and glorify Me.  Praises will flow from your mouth because of My marvelous presence in your life.  That is the hope of your calling and it is My hope of your calling.
