"With the new calling of God, you will eat and nothing will make you stay in bed."
I immediately was wide awake and was no longer sleepy and got out of bed.
This encouraged me, but I don't believe this was just a word for me but for others as well. This may have a different meaning for others, but this is what I got from it. When I heard this, I seemed to understand that the eating reference was not necessarily actual food, but the eating was in reference to consuming the Rhema word of God and then being consumed by that very word so that the word or directive or compulsion from God would drive you to the point where you could not wait to get out of bed to continue to fulfill the mandate or drive which God had given you, and nothing would prevent you from wanting to accomplish it. And I believe this was a promise from God given in order to encourage me and others like me who right now are not under a specific "calling" other than to love and worship God, that God is getting ready to pour out something which will "consume you" and give you purpose and direction to almost propel you into that which God has for you. Maybe there are others like myself who are not sure exactly what God intends them to do and have not felt a specific "calling" other than to be in God's presence and get up day after day just knowing you have to go to work and do what you have to do. But I believe God is ready to pour out something which will give us a zeal and a purpose and propel us into all that God wants for us as we walk in obedience to Him and attend to Him. As we consume Him, He will see to it that we are consumed by Him and given the purpose for which He has created us.
Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
