I have a friend that is trying to figure out what it is God wants him to do with his life. I share with him all the time about what it has been reveal to me as my duty in the kingdom, but he struggles and is unable to hear from God. My friend has fasted, he prays every morning, he reads his bible faithfully and steal seems to have no clue of his job in the kingdom.
Now I am fully aware of his gifts and the things that he can do, and I been praying on his behalf that God would use me to tell him what he should be doing. I too am drawing a blank. I'm sure that my friend is not the only person who is not sure what their role is in the kingdom of heaven. You know you aren't suppose to be singing...can't hold a note in your back pocket. You know you aren't to be ushering...no tolerance for rude church goers. And you know that pastoral is just not for you. So what are your suppose to do?
Personally, I knew all my life what I was suppose to do. I have the gift of scribe. In other words, I write. Jesus Cousin was started as my way to lead more souls to Christ. I am also working on a book. Everything that I know how to do is centered around being able to create a website, write the articles, promote to other Christians. God gave me every tool I need to successfully pull this off. I am good at a lot of things, but I am great at writing. That is the strongest tool I have. I know how to put words together so that it can impact one's life.
I'm sure you are saying I still don't know what I'm suppose to be doing, but consider some things.
Open your self up completely to God. Forget everything going around you and diligently seek a word from him. Lead not to your own understanding. Let God speak to you. Below are the spiritual gifts
1 Corinthians 12
Spiritual Gifts
1 -3 What I want to talk about now is the various ways God's Spirit gets worked into our lives. This is complex and often mis-understood, but I want you to be informed and knowledgeable. Remember how you were when you didn't know God, led from one phony god to another, never knowing what you were doing, just doing it because everybody else did it? It's different in this life. God wants us to use our intelligence, to seek to understand as well as we can. For instance, by using your heads, you know perfectly well that the Spirit of God would never prompt anyone to say "Jesus be damned!" Nor would anyone be inclined to say "Jesus is Master!" without the insight of the Holy Spirit.
4 -11God's various gifts are handed out everywhere; but they all originate in God's Spirit. God's various ministries are carried out everywhere; but they all originate in God's Spirit. God's various expressions of power are in action everywhere; but God himself is behind it all. Each person is given something to do that shows who God is: Everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits. All kinds of things are handed out by the Spirit, and to all kinds of people! The variety is wonderful:
wise counsel
clear understanding
simple trust
healing the sick
miraculous acts
proclamation
distinguishing between spirits
tongues
interpretation of tongues.
All these gifts have a common origin, but are handed out one by one by the one Spirit of God. He decides who gets what, and when.
