How do you know when God is calling you into ministry?

by Shelly Adams
(Guyana)

Blessing to you my sister-in-Christ. It is over one year now that I am feeling a pulling and urging in my spirit to attend Bible College, but, I keeping putting off. I am once more having that feeling again.The truth is I am afraid of the reason why would God want me to go to Bible School.
What would you advise me to do.

 Choosing to Follow
by: Karen

Hi Shelly,

Unfortunately, I have to disagree with Kathalene somewhat.

It is your choice to follow God's leading. It is always your choice. God gave you the right to choose about all things in your life.

God is a true gentleman. He will never force His will upon anybody. He wants you to freely choose His plan, whatever that may be.

Best of luck,

Karen

 Ministry
by: Kathalene

God's calling you to the ministry is the voice of the Lord, if you sit quietly, you will hear him. It is not the family that is encouraging you, it is your own soul that desires it.

This is not your decision to make, it does not come from you. It comes from God. This will be God's decision... if it is within his will.

The Bible says that if we delight in the Lord, he will give us the desires of our hearts (Ps.37:4,Ps.20:4,Ps.21:2)

Hope this helps!

 Follow the Call

Hi Shelly,

It's a little overwhelming to think that God may be calling you to ministry, isn't it? I know the feeling.

Shelly, the bottom line is that God wants you to be happy MORE than you do. Because He created you, He knows exactly what it will take to make you happy. You have absolutely nothing to lose by following the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Of course, that being said, please feel comforted that you don't have to turn your whole life upside down all at once. Take a step. If God has anointed you to ministry, then things will fall into place. If He hasn't you will struggle and not have a sense of peace. But at least you'll know.

Shelly, God will meet you where you're at. If your heart is open and willing He'll show you how, where, and when. Just take the first step and see what happens.

Many blessings,

Karen
