Book of John Chapter 3:
John The Baptist challenged people to live rightly. Virtually proclaiming to people to 'Heeding God's call'. John's ministry was do his calling that the people wondered if he might be the Messiah,
No but John declares that he is merely a way preparer,for the one who will baptize people with God's very Spirit.
Could have called this article 'Faith In Action, 'Making A way',' but first we need to heed God's call to our lives, to become A Way Preparer'.
The honor John had was to baptize Jesus. so the people could see in John Ministry the one he was preparing the way for. That is he challenge to us all, people not just to see us, going about the faithful things, but through those faithful things see Jesus.
The faithful things, faithful in prayer which is really faithful in communication with Our Lord and Our Friend.
Faith in commitment, does Our Lord and Our Friend have priority in our lives.
Faith in knowing, it is impossible to know all about Our Lord and Our Friend, and somethings will need to wait until we are finally called into His Glorious Presence, but are we taking the time to find out what we can about Him. Reading, Studying and Searching whenever we can
Faith in displaying: the Fruit Our Lord and Our Friend has for us, to feed on, to use, and to spread
Galatians 5 verse 16: "I say then, 'walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh".
Galatians 5 verse 22: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, self-control.
All the tools we need to 'Heeding God's call, being 'A Way Preparer'
God Bless
