Calling and Destiny

There's a difference between God's plan and God's will. God's plan: its how He's gonna get you to His will - and you may change it. God's will: its where He's taking you and it won't ever change.

The call must have an eternal value - ministry is the vehical God uses to fulfill His calling. be driven by the call not the minstry.

This calling is an invitation from God.

Speak the Word of God, then you release Words of Life - the Life of God.

The anointing that comes from within you - you'll feel it even when you're alone - you carry it inside you always. Anointing can fall onn you but only in a public place for specific ministry to people.

Remember:

Strengthen you ability to hear God through prayer and fasting.

Gods main call is to people, not projects

Seperate personal dreams from vision God has gven you

There will be wilderness experiences (Gal 4;19)

Fight for your destiny

Cultivate a teachable spirit (Mt 18:1-4)

Life style of prayer and fating

Be faithful with small thing and you will be given more responsibility in time.

Femi Oni from England spoke this week on Calling and Destiny and those were some of the highlights of the notes from his lectures. He gave us so much good juice material that I know I'll continue to soak it in for weeks to come. So hopefully there will be more to come on this subject! He was is gifted in encouraging fellow believers and hearing from the Lord for specific prayer needs in a persons life. He was able to pray into my life and help me see clearly what had been holding me back in my past and how to step forward into freedom. Every morning I now pray " Lord show me who I am in you today!" He was so kind and fatherly and encouraged me to make a huge collage, collecting different pictures and words and scriptures that describe my personality and passions as the Lord reveals to me over the next few months. Its so exciting!! Thank you for your prayers - my spiritual life has already been turned upside down!

I was sick this past weekend so sorry for lagging behind on the blog posts! I'll try to be more diligent and next time post a fun, funny post :)
Mucho Love-o!
