Gifts and callings are without repentance. You absolutely receive them when you’re borned in this world. The Bible says that. How many believes in predestination, foreordination, election, calling, so forth? If you believe the Bible, you have to. Some of you didn’t put your hands up. I want to ask you something then. Jesus Christ was the Son of God from the very foundation of the world. He was a Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. You believe that? He was the woman’s Seed that was to the bruise the serpents head. You believe that? Then He was predestinated, foreordained of God. Do you believe that? When Moses was born, he was a proper child, and was borned a prophet. You believe that? Nothing nobody had to do with it. God made him a prophet before he was born to fulfill Abraham’s prophecy. How many believes that…Why, John the Baptist seven hundred and twelve years before he was ever born, Isaiah saw him. Said, “He is the voice of one crying in the wilderness.” You believe that? Look at this.
