When we lose our vision or our way, God has to make a total recall. A total recall is when you go for broke! Many times, our world comes crashing down because we are not operating or functioning in the manner in which He purposed. When your money runs out and doing it your way doesn’t work. When your family can’t help you and all you have left is the feet of Jesus. We must go back to our First love. The one who already purposed us and knows why He loved us first. He knows the plans.
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained (called) thee a prophet unto the nations. (Jeremiah 1: 5)
God said, "I have made thee…."You could put a period behind those four words. Made is a completed work. The creator knows why He said, "Let there be light.” It is an absolute statement. The light was so all can see what is already in existence. Now, God will call it all to order. It looks like chaos to us but to Him, it is a created functioning earth full of divine purpose. Everything has a reason to be. We may not understand it, but just as when we were children void of understanding, God, like our parents, gives us with a stern look that meant it is done! Our parents’ four words were the same as God’s, translated to “Because I said so!” We will never see it totally as He does because He saw and created it all.
So ‘recall’ has to do with the original call or intent of what a thing was purposed to be or do. Once you understand the meaning of these words in Romans 4:17 “Calleth those things which be not as though they were” they take on a different meaning. It is ‘calling what is not, into the now’ instead of speaking what isn’t. Using ‘now faith’ to manifest that which God has already established before time. Understand? This is speaking of waking up something that was once alive. It’s called predestination.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. (Romans 8:30)
When a drill sergeant calls out, “Attention!” the soldiers stop what they are doing and get in line. After everyone comes to order he says, “As you were.” In other words, go back to the position you were in before I called attention to you. We all have a call to order!
