God Thinking LXXXIX - Principles Of Power 7

• " If you to God with and open heart and an open mind, God might tell you to rest.
• If you go to God with and open heart and an open mind, God might tell you to go.
• If you go to God with and open heart and an open mind, God might tell you to give.
• If you go to God with and open heart and an open mind, God might tell you to go to the mission field.

Some of us still think of missionaries as a small group of people who had nothing better to do, but give up everything they had to move to a remote area

To teach the unteachable  

while earning their own substance

because they really couldn’t get a job anywhere else

Missionaries are simply those who said YES, before God told them what they would be doing.

"One night ma and pa were sitting at the edge of the setee and they knelt down to pray and they made the mistake of praying like this, “Oh God, why is this burden on my heart?  I feel you tugging on me.  What is it you are trying to tell me.  Make it clear and I will obey.”

“Go to Nairobi”

“Go to Sri Lanka”

“Go to Bangledesh”

“Go to Frankfurt Germany”

“Go to Sydney Australia”

And sometimes God calls you to more familiar places, like:

“Stay where you are for five years.  Be faithful and serve in this place.”

People go and needs are met when you go to God with a YES, fixed in your heart and on your lips, but you might not get the answer you think you should."
