Expecting a Call

The only reason it appears some people are “more called”

by God than others is because they were expecting the call

and answered it. (God will inform you of your calling and

not just others.)

"Darkness or suffering" This process prepares us for

“greatness.” What comes to youir mind when you say

the word “greatness”? Read and think about the

first paragraph on page 118 and learn about God's

perspective on greatness.

Waiting in the Wings

Surrendering Your Dreams

Does your dream include or exclude God and His plan for your life?

Sometimes our lives seem to be standing still like nothing is happening.

This is usually when things are not going as we planned.

Before you can have this beautiful garden the plants have to be pruned.

Just like we have to be pruned. God prunes us by cutting away all the

things that would hinder our future growth. During this time we may feel

dry and barren, but after the pruning process we will bring forth good fruit.

Often God has us surrender out dreams because they are for us. He wants

our dreams to be for Him.

Knowing How to Pack for the Wilderness

It can be hard to see God's purpose when we are in the wilderness. When

we are in the wilderness we do not have the comfortable to depend on.

God wants us to be removed from the familiar so we will become more

dependent on Him.

And he said unto Him, "If Thy presence go not with me, carry us not up

hence." Exodus 33:15 Wouldn't you rather be in the desert knowing you

are in God's will and His presence is with you than in "Egypt" and knowing

you are not walking in His will?

Knee pads for fervent times of prayer. An open vessel to hold the living

water God is going to pour out on you.
