Word of the Lord: When Men Fail To Acknowledge Your Call

Posted on by Theresa Harvard Johnson

This morning in my prayer time, I heard father say: “Stop striving for men to acknowledge the call on your life. Stop wallowing in the disappointment of not being recognized for who I have called and trained you to be. Don’t you know that I see you? Don’t you realize that I am the one who has called you? Beloved, let ME be enough for you, and walk with you in this season of your life. In my perfect timing, I will bring you out of this place and put you on display.”

Over the years, I've received words like this many times for myself and for others. The mere fact that God is bringing this message back to us and in many different ways, at least to me, shows that we are never too mature to be reminded of His will for us. As I prayed, Father brought some specific people to the forefront whom I have been praying with. I sent this to them, and then He instructed me to post this message publicly.

Some believers have, at some point in their lives walked this way. They have longed or even craved for others (especially leaders in their lives) to recognize or see what God is doing in and through them. I know I've been in this place. But in some seasons, this just doesn’t happen… and you will "feel" forgotten, abandoned, overlooked, ignored, rejected, etc. Everything in your flesh will rise up and block the voice of God which is saying: "I am in the midst of this more than you know."

Celebrating the Lives of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight (2)

We can celebrate the lives of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight. As they move through an intense journey of healing, we can have a hand in helping them heal, to fully recover.

How? Well, those reading this can make sure that these young women do not remain a news headline with spectators waiting for “what happens next” or regurgitating every gory detail from their ordeal that the news media feeds us or pours out. Every one of us can celebrate them by doing our part in making sure that children, our most precious cargo, are protected from the sick minds of child sexual predators.

According to the Center for Disease Control & Prevention here in Atlanta, one in four girls and one is six boys are sexually abused by the age of 17, and only one in 10 will ever tell. In an article published in the Journal of Pediatric Health written by Gail Hornor, 80,000 cases of child sexual abuse were reported in 2008 alone. Officials, however, believe that this number is far greater because children are afraid to tell.  

SIDEBAR: I am blessed to serve with the fabulous organization, VOICE Today Inc., which exists to end child sexual abuse. For quality and excellent tools, resources and information on child sexual abuse prevention for your organization, faith-based institution or outreach initiative, please do not hesitate to contact me directly or reach out to VOICE so that I can tell you more. Watch this powerful video on the left. In addition, Angela Williams, the founder and my sear sister, shares her personal testimony in the book, From Sorrows To Sapphires. Read the latest book review here.

If you had the opportunity to prevent the type of heinous crime that engulfed the lives of Berry, DeJesus and Knight from happening to your child, your neighbor or the child of a co-worker would you take it? Most of us would like to think that we would. But the truth is this:

  • The news headlines will dissipate.
  • The perpetrator, Ariel Castro, will be sentenced.
  • Berry, DeJesus and Knight will spend years healing from this unimaginable tragedy, and those reading this article and following the story;
  • Will remember it only as a moment in history when these women were found.
