It's not complicated and you don't have to be fully trained.

Hi there.
Last night I went out to a church meeting.
And the person who spoke spoke about God's will.
I know alot of people are worried about what tomorrow brings, because we are humans.
Do we have enough money to pay the bills, to give to churches.
When it comes to ministry, a lot of panic, because it seems rather complicated, and we have to do courses in being fully trained, to go out and do God's will.
We think we have to join some sort of church to be part of, when we find that box, we tick it off.
When we find a small group, we tick that one off.
And when we go to a particular seminar, we tick that off.
When we sing in the worship team we tick that off, or volunteer in some other way.
A lot of it can be religion.
We are supposed to be in the world but not of it.
When we put away or put aside our religions ideas and get to where and who God is, by laying aside our wants and ambitions.
God doesn't call in huge big voices, he doesn't go around with visible signs for us to look at, he doesn't google answers, or earth to know where he's going, he made the earth and everything in it.
We put so much time and effort into courses, and being productive with our time.
i'm not against what you're studying, God calls us to be productive in what he's given you to do, and it's very good.
Perhaps God has given you something to do, and you feel like you've got to make it complicated, or you have to be fully trained, the thing about what God calls you do, is.
That he takes on people who aren't fully trained, who don't often have the PHD or the Dr's, ahead of their name.
When Jesus called Peter out of the boat, he called him because he knew the next conversation, that he was going to have with him.
It was an easy thing to hear, feed his sheep, but how hard was the to do?
Ver hard, it costed Peters life, and his eyes, because they pulled them out.
The call of God on your life is amazing, it's like a magnetic force once you have it, it's there for life.
Alot of us, make things complicated,  and how often do we make things make it complicated so that we have power over a circumstances, or people who are weaker than us, to make ourselves better?
I've done it, but it's false and it's pride.
And it's not where God wants us to be.
God is with us, for things, that don't make sense, but it does.
My encouragement to you, is to keep going, you don't have to be fully trained to do what God has called you do to.
Why don't take time out, and sit back drink in God's word, and asking him where you need to be.
And go with God.
