Ready, Set, GO!

Pastor Ben Díaz
 

“I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” — Philippians 3:13-14

There’s a divine calling on your life. Yes, you! God has chosen you for incredible things, and no one knows your potential better than your Creator. You were designed and gifted to become a spiritual giant! But stepping into your calling isn’t a one-time event; it’s a journey that unfolds as you make walking with your Heavenly Father your daily lifestyle. It’s all about the small, consistent decisions to center your life around Jesus. Your role? Obedience, surrender, and sacrifice.

Pastor Ben reminded us that we don’t need to see the entire path—just the next step. Don't sit and wait for your entire calling to appear, have a vision, make plans for your life and God will lead you. Get in action and start doing the next thing. Simply take the next step, and trust that God will guide you. Ask yourself: Am I heading in a direction that pleases God? Is my life growing stronger and more focused on Him?

You don’t need to question whether you have what it takes—God has already equipped you. Look at Abraham: despite his mistakes, he kept seeking God and fulfilled his calling as the Father of Faith and of many nations. Likewise, the disciples started their journeys with fear, doubt, and unbelief, but by answering Jesus’ call to “follow Me,” they grew step by step into their destinies. They became great apostles, preaching to thousands, healing the sick, doing miracles, planting churches, and writing the New Testament!

Pastor Ben also shared his personal story, starting with a simple desire for God that grew over time. From playing the keyboard with one hand to becoming a worship leader, Bible study teacher, and eventually a pastor, and continuing to expand in ministry as doors open. His journey reminds us that “when you walk with God, you grow into your calling.”
