In (what I’ll refer to as) the footnotes of Isaiah 6:13 in The Passion Translation (TPT) of The Holy Bible, we are reminded that, even regarding the appearance of darkness or dark times wherein ignorance seems to run rampant, YHWH (with inserted vowels YAHWEH transliterated JEHOVAH commonly interpreted the LORD) always has a remnant people. For a true believer reborn by the blood of Jesus has the power of God within to manifest the things of God in the way of God. The Apostle Paul describes them as the “faithful in Christ” whom the LORD God – Abba Father has called-out of darkness and into the Kingdom of His only begotten Son. Though the re-created or reborn spirit is made perfect by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus, the remnant must endeavor to further develop their own faith whilst bearing the good fruit via ongoing renewal of the soul (i.e., intellect, will, emotions) in the Word of God through the Teaching of the Holy Spirit for revelation knowledge.

• “that you might walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light, who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love, in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.”  Colossians 1:10-14 (WEB)

Simmons et al delineates that the “divine call” consists of seven requirements: a revelation of God, a revelation of His holiness, a revelation of humankind’s uncleanness, divine cleansing, a personal call by the voice of God, abandonment to God, and divine commissioning.¹ Such also bespeaks the five-fold ministry gifts of Christ Jesus as relayed by Apostle Paul in Ephesians 4:11 – Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Preacher, Teacher for the edification of the Body (of Christ) in the unity of faith to the fullness of Christ. Though humankind has a tendency toward raising one of these gifts above the other, divine commissions work in support of one another. Likewise, these don’t conflict with the gifts of the Holy Spirit relayed in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 to help those sans revelation knowledge and/or under-developed faith to manifest by the power of God within. For the Sovereign Lord God Almighty is Omnipresent and Omniscient and Omnipotent; (And) There is nothing more powerful than the Word of God. Therefore, a true believer must speak as the Lord Jesus who only did and spoke as He heard of God the Father; Speak the promise.
