Been "Sent Out" Lately?

TOPIC: Hearing the Voice of God

SCRIPTURE: "...being sent out by the Holy Spirit..." (Acts 13:4)

OBSERVATION: The church dedicated Barnabas and Saul to the work God had for them. To dedicate means "to set apart" for a special purpose. We, too, should dedicate ourselves to use our time, money, and talents for God's work. Ask God what he wants you to set apart for him.
This was the beginning of Saul's (Paul) first missionary journey. The church was involved in sending Paul and Barnabas, but it was God's plan. Question:
Why did Paul and Barnabas go where they did?
Answer:
The Holy Spirit sent them there


APPLICATION: Has the Holy Spirit ever sent you out?

Where did you go?
What did you do when you got there?
Why were you really there?
How long ago was that?

What about today?
What about right now?

Have you asked the Holy Spirit?

Is there anywhere He wants you to go
Is there anything He wants you to do
Is there someone He wants you to talk to, listen to, pray with etc

Have you asked to be sent out?

If you ask
and the listen
waiting for an answer
it will come

I'd love to hear from you
after
your missionary journey is over

Remember you don't have to go around the world
The person might be right next 2 u

PRAYER: Father God, continue to remind me that I need to ask, everyday! Thank you for all those times you've been sooooo faithful to creatively remind me. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your awesome work.
