Seeking God's Will

Paul is on his second journey.
He is traveling from Lystra to Troas.
Today, they are in ruins.

Acts 16:6-10

Be A Flexible Follower
You need to have a servant's heart.
Your desires are your master's.
Your desires are not for yourself.
You have to listen to the Holy Spirit.
(Which means you have to learn how to hear it!)

Be Okay With God Saying NO!
You have to accept the Holy Spirit's lead.
God's direction.
You are the follower, not the leader!

This is where most Christian trainwrecks occur!

Don't Confuse Need With Call
Just because you can identify a need, does not mean you are called to anything!

When you identify a need, meet it!
Don't make a ministry of it!
Do not expect comfort.
Do not expect satisfaction.
Do not expect applause.

You must have DISCERNMENT!

Focus On What God Is Revealing
Avoid superstition.
Test, prayer, discern, listen to counsel.
Trust God.
Don't run.
Acknowledge Him in all ways.

Find God In The Ordinary
Consider Colossians 3:17

Find Him where you are.
Find Him in what you are doing.
Do your best for God.

God does not need you playing tourist,
Being a witness to jet set,
Or any of the other sicknesses with circle the Faith.

He wants you where you are,
Doing what you do,
Witnessing to those around you,
Living your testimony ....
