The Call to Be Great in God
"...He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" (Mark 4:9)
The manifestation of the sons of God is near. These are the "Dread Warriors" – a class of uncompromising "overcomers" committed to doing everything in God's heart. Before you imagine an exclusive company of uniquely qualified candidates, pause for a second and insert yourself. God is offering an epic opportunity for anyone who has ever felt excluded or unqualified to be part of a historic commissioning! That is, if you have ears to hear.
Be Included!
God desperately wants you to be included. In this world of "haves and have nots," He has created a singularly inclusive administration. What is being established has a built-in feature of equal opportunity. As Paul said, in Christ "there is no longer Jew, Greek, male or female..." with respect to inclusion (Galatians 3:28). While this is not the same as equal outcomes, it means anyone who wants to enter can.
God is offering us a unique opportunity, which stands in stark contrast to a world where barriers can be unsurpassable. In His world, all that really matters is your desire and obedience. He has constructed His Kingdom in such a way that no one can be held back against their will. Where there seems to be no way, He will always make a way.
At this very moment, thousands upon thousands of volunteers are being prepared in secret. By the simplicity of their response to His voice they are making themselves candidates to be chosen. Like a passionate musician practicing in the quiet of their bedroom, far from the notice of the world, God is preparing a generation.
This opportunity is a real version of the Utopian dream socialism promises but cannot deliver – unparalleled equality. As such, no one is tied to traditional barriers...be it money, beauty, talent or breeding. Though we may not engage equally, the same opportunity is open to all without respect of persons.

For Those Who Hunger and Thirst
Even so, the Kingdom of God overflows with differences and distinctions. Jesus spoke of various gifts and anointings, as well as spheres of authority which include few or many cities. Far from being without tiers, His dominion is rife with distinctions so that inclusion is available, but not guaranteed. You are master of your own domain and no hurdles are insurmountable. So while there is a divine vetting system designed to sift and sort, it is attainable to those who hunger and thirst for righteousness; all of which is directly overseen by the Just Judge of all.
Some Christians may have operated under an alternate view. Their supposed answer to the pain of exclusion is a Heaven where fairness requires equal outcomes. I believe this is a foolish substitute for equality. To me, this is a shortsighted, empty gesture – equivalent to participation trophies. Nothing could be further from the truth as even a casual read of Scriptures would bury this notion (see Luke 19:15, Mark 10:40).
Rather, the key difference between His Kingdom and the world we all know is expressed in this: "To him who has ears to hear." Transformational power is resident in His Word to change us into whatever we need to become.
As we have all heard and read, God is no respecter of persons. Which is another way of saying that no one has an advantage over the other; not the rich nor the famous. No one jumps the queue by virtue of status, family name or bribery. Yet, there are... (continue reading)
This is a must read word for many in the Body of Christ.
