WE NEED TO BELIEVE GOD TO BE CALLED OUT, SET ASIDE, TO HEAR THE CALL OF GOD TO BE FAITHFUL, A PECULIAR PEOPLE…

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

LARRY CARTER TAUGHT ME A GOOD LESSON ABOUT THE WORD PECULIAR. In Greek PECULIAR is made up of two words. 1. CIRCLE and 2. TO BE. God is the circle, we are to be the dot in the middle of the circle… We are to be the dot in the middle of the circle! WE ARE TO BE TOTALLY SUBMERGED. To be totally contained within the heart of God.

To illustrate this point of value consider a GLOVE. This GLOVE cost around $12.00 at the time it was purchased. The $12 GLOVE sold at auction for $60,000.00. Why? There was documents that proved this was the GLOVE that Michael Jackson wore, they could PROVE WHO IT BELONGED TO…

OK, take a cheap latex glove and put it on the hand of a brain surgeon? The action of the hand in the glove could be worth $100 K and save the life of a loved one… WILL WE GET UP AND ALLOW GOD TO MAKE US A PECULIAR PEOPLE?

It is about the PLAN OF GOD… GET UP AND DO… THE PROMISE LAND IS AHEAD. Will we be satisfied to CAMP on the other side of the promise?
