Greetings,

Being "Called" by the Lord can be a bit frightening for some (As it was at first for many in the Bible)
How does one know when they have been ... Called?

Your thoughts?

Luv all of ya

Hello O-meister

God bless you this day.

I know because God's Word tells me repeatedly throughout The Bible. One example: Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

In addition, He places a desire or an urge to serve Him within us once we receive Jesus as Christ and Savior, and depending on the Spiritual gifts He gives us, the desire or urges seem to be stronger. We can still resist in we want to -- we still have choice -- but the urges return through blessed inspiration, as He continues the process of conversion within us.

God bless and keep you. Enjoy your day with Him.
Love,
Mack

Hi Christianity Oasis i sure know when my pastor asked take over the nursing home and preach there for the church i was afraid i stepped out and did it in faith and allowed God to work through me and equip me to do the task of preaching i was appointed to do.

How do we know that we are called Jesus tells us in the word to go into the world teaching others about the Gospel well he was telling the Eleven disciples to do this but once we become converts of Jesus we become his disciples as well....



Matthew 28:16-20 (KJV)
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.


Mark 16:15-16King James Version (KJV)
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Amen!

Ciny,

God chose well through your Pastor ...

You have such a compassionate and meek soul and are able to reach others who are in the darkness with LOVE.

They FEEL it.

Luv ya

Thank you Christianity Oasis for your kind words of encouragement God bless you !!

How does someone know when they are called? When God shows up in the most unexpected way and uses you....as long as you are willing to follow Him. I know because the Holy Spirit pulls at me...tugs at me....talks to me...and shows me what I'm to do....even if I don't know how...He does.

AMEN.
