A Higher Calling: Quest for the Kingdom of God By: David Ben-Ariel
Jesus clearly said, "No man can come to Me, except the Father who has sent me

Around 15 a girl I knew had stopped using drugs and sleeping around and classmates
were mocking her as a "Jesus freak." I was impressed and admired how she wasn't
ashamed to carry her Bible to school.

Soon I began attending Bible studies with her group. It was there that I first accepted
Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I now recognize they're a cult, but I'm confident God
permitted that experience to insure my familiarity with His Word, which is what
caused me to separate from them later.

I backslid into the teenage wasteland but had hope God would ultimately straighten
me out, especially after once praying, "The harder I try, the more I fall on my face."
Then Isaiah 45:1-2 glistened before me, God emphasizing that He would go before
me, and that He would break my bonds. I was given a quiet confidence and calm
assurance that God has the ability to set us free; that God is stronger than our
weaknesses. After all, "in the LORD have I righteousness and strength" (Isa. 45:6).
 Around 17, after flirting with foreign gods, I was miraculously called out of that
deception by our Great Creator God, the God of the Bible, the God of Israel who
didn\'t let Christ die in vain as my Savior.

Later, unexpectedly, I was given a vision, a sneak preview of God\'s Kingdom

(http://www.religionandspiritualityforum.com/view.php?StoryID=20051226-035046-
2047r) where I saw myself as a brilliant Spirit-being teaching two humans. Only
after reading literature from the Worldwide Church of God and getting baptized at
19, did I see they confirmed what I saw to be true: the Kingdom is God's Family and
we're to become divine Priest-Kings ruling with but under Christ; the Kingdom of
God-Beings (http://ezinearticles.com/?Kingdom-of-God-Beings-to-Rule-Earth-
from-Jerusalem!&id=105261) are to rule Earth from Jerusalem!

Truly this spiritual journey is the adventure of a lifetime! It's a daily quest for God\'s
Kingdom and righteousness, living and learning, so help us God.
