Have you ever found yourself avoiding a phone call? We’ve all done it.
But when it comes to a call from God there is a necessity to answer. It’s time to answer the call!
As we begin our month of missions we will start off by looking at the call Jesus gave to Saul/Paul and how his answer to the call started a mission to reach the world.
It’s time for us to continue reaching the world but it starts with answering the call. You only have two choices: answer or decline the call of Jesus! It’s up to you!

What is the purpose for everything that happens in our Christian life?
It all comes down to one thing, the glory of God. This brings up a question, what is the glory of God? The glory of God could be described as the greatness of God. The deep desire of God is for His creation to know His greatness and power. He desires for us to point to and declare His greatness.
The journey you are on right now is a set-up to bring Him glory! Every trial, blessing, challenge, and success is an opportunity to point to God’s greatness. So, what is the purpose for whatever you are facing right now? Don’t miss out on the great opportunity we have to point to our great God!

Sometimes things in life can just feel completely overwhelming. I’m sure you can relate. We can face some problems that seem to have the upper hand on us. 
In our minds, we give up and admit defeat. There is a force behind the problems of this world. Satan is the ruler of darkness and works through life’s problems to make us feel defeated.
We must wake up and understand that we are God’s children! We were created to stand against evil and to live out the power of God! The disciples experienced a time of spiritual defeat in the gospels, but Jesus stepped in and taught them how to experience a breakthrough!
It’s time we stand in the power of prayer to experience spiritual breakthroughs in our lives.
