Despite the Pharisees knowing the word and what had been prophesied, they did not recognize Jesus as the Messiah. This is because they relied on their head knowledge and their own assumptions. We cannot be qualified based on our own experiences and knowledge, it has to be done through spiritual and supernatural means. We must get revelation and understanding from the Holy Spirit, and be led by Him.
In this episode, Pastor Josh discusses who our neighbor is and how we must get the vision from God. Our brothers and sisters are those that are doing the will of God. Some people disguised as our brothers and sisters in Christ will try to distract from what God is calling us to do. This is why it is important to have a clear vision set by God.
The calling of the Lord does not come at our own convenience, and it is not something that we choose for ourselves. It is something that is thrust upon us. If God asked you to do something like Noah, something that would take years of your life, would you be willing to obey the Lord? Complete faith and obedience are the precursors to stepping into the calling God has for your life. Complete surrender, faith, and obedience.
