Jesus has called us.
That is primary.
It is His Call that grants us the authority to minister in His Name, the Right to go.
There is no greater name under Heaven by which we are called.
The Call creates need and desperation.
The Call requires more of me than I have, and therefore it is not a Call to Do more, but a Call to Be more.
That Be-ing is realized only in a vibrant relationship with the Caller Himself.
That is why He came, why He died, and why He calls... to draw all men to Himself.
With the Call comes an offer of Himself, and we never move beyond that dependence.
At the center of the mission dynamic sits a white hot coal of personal discipleship in the heart of a believer who is deeply in love with Christ and what He has done in his life.
Fan that flame.

Yes!
All authority has been given to Jesus. He has the position, power, title and authority! It bears repeating...He alone has the position, power, title, and authority!
He uses His position, power, title, and authority to serve His bride, that is us His Church.
Any authority we have is His and comes from Him and belongs to Him.
His trust in us fulfilling the Great Commission is not in our ability, gifts or calling. Ultimately, He trusts Himself in us to accomplish the mission. This is why dependence on Him is central.
It is truly all about Him.
It is in His Presence that we can walk in our calling with His promise and power to make an eternal difference in this world.
A Passionate Hearted Disciple seeks His Presence alone. There is no other way to walk in authority and power. It is Jesus and Jesus alone.
