God Thinking LIII - Getting Beyond Your Self 4

"Where would you have me go, that Your will, will be fulfilled?
These are the kinds of prayers that God has placed in the hearts of men and women that are truly seeking God.  Don’t get nervous, it is likely that you are already headed in the right direction to fulfill God’s plan for your life.
 
But you must ask God the question and wait in His presence for the answer. 
Where would you have me go, that Your will, will be fulfilled?

Lord, are there souls at risk, that I could minister to, if I were to give up one night a week?
When Christians go to their prayer closet and ask God how they can expand their time in order to more perfectly provide for the saints of God and to bring more people to the foot of the cross - all of us will have more. 
 
One of the reasons for all the lack in the body of Christ is because they are not listening to God as to what they are to be involved in.  They pick and choose their ministry according to their existing schedule, when their existing schedule might be in direct opposition to the will of God for their life.
 
Lord, are there souls at risk, that I could minister to, if I were to give up one night a week?
 
Lord, do I need to go through something, that I might see you more clearly?
 
God has allowed you and is going to continue to allow you to go through some things - things that you are not comfortable with.
 
Some of you are going to go through financial hardship
Some of you are going to go through sickness
Some of you are going to lose loved ones.
 
2 Corinthians 12:9
 9.  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Note: It is not a placebo to reality to trust God.  It is the only way you can be sure that your life has meaning along the way and that the ending will be of worth also.  It is the only way that you can know (while going through the fire) that God is in the furnace with you.
