God is building a team and is now taking applications!

God is building a team and is now taking applications. In these days of
unemployment, this is very good news. In these days of immorality, this is
very good news. In these days of murder, war, and abuse, this is very good
news.

They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the
display of His splendor. - Isaiah 61:3 NKJV

God is always taking applications. I will give you the inside track on the
type of resume you need to submit. These are the things that will catch
God's eye.

First, you need to state that you have laid your old or current sinful self
before the cross. You need to state that you have or are now willing to
repent for your sins and accept Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God,
into your heart and accept His death for your freedom from it.

Second, you need to state that you have turned from your old ways and now
strive to serve God. You need to state that you pray to your Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ, everyday to help you achieve this goal.

Third, you need to state that you are ready to lay down your life for God.
You are ready to leave anything or anyone that would stand between you and
your service and employment by God.

Please remember that God will take all applications that will be submitted.
But please remember that many are called but few are chosen. Matthew 20:16
NKJV This means that though some that apply may think that because they
have the most Bible study hours in, or have gone to seminary, or have served
in leadership positions in their churches have a better chance for the
opening, they may be mistaken. For only God knows the heart of men and says
in Matthew 20:16 that the first will be last and the last will be first.
This is not being said to discourage you from applying now or at a later
time for a higher position or a move to the next level with God. For only
He will know when the time of your heart is right. So apply now and always
strive to go deeper and to go higher with God. If you don't get the job
this time, keep applying. It is God's wish that you "grow" where you are
planted. And remember that little acorns grow into those "mighty oaks"
spoken of in Isaiah 61:3. So turn in your application today and I will be
praying for you......Patti
