Do You Know What Your Calling Is ?

[Hollyrock]

God has graced each of us with different callings, giftings, and talents...what are some of yours ?

My calling is to listen and obey his will...that is what he said to me as a new believer and I am hopefully still walking that path with fruit bearing in it's season... ^_^

Bless ya!

To be a good husband, father, son and brother. The ministry gifts I leave up to HolySpirit and allow Him to use me as He sees fit. :)

Love radically in all situations.

I had this discussion with God a couple years ago. I wanted to know what I should do. Should I go preach to people, should I do this, do I have to do that etc etc. I got great news!

What I believe the Lord told me is this.

"Enjoy life! Go and do what you want. Relax and have fun. Don't worry about it." So, I am. It's funny though. Through my travels the past couple years I've been in situations to either witness to someone, or help them with something regarding faith. This is only the beginning I know. Apparently right now I'm in a "training/learning" phase.

The coolest part is this, Had I sat around praying, and wondering, and not doing the things I enjoy, the oppertunities never would've came up.

I rejoice that our calling is based on His purpose and grace given to us before the foundation of the world.

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
(2Ti 1:9)

Live holy and be continue to be filled with the Holy Ghost!

 

[Episkopos]

To cleave to the Lord and remain in Zion where He is.

I think my gift is the Word Of Knowledge...there is always a testing and preparation period given before one can operate in gifts.

Where does the idea that we each have a "calling" come from?

 

[elysian]

The idea of calling makes us feel important, that we are part of a grand scheme, and so on.

Where does the idea that we each have a "calling" come from?

Romans 11:29, 12:6... 1st Corinthians 12:4, 12:9, 12:28 etc.
