Lets pray for; Ears to hear what our Father is saying to us and what He is saying To know the will of the Father

Reference the six chapter of Acts Saul got a wake up call from God. Gods plan for him was already cut out Saul asks “Lord what would you have me do?” Ask the Lord what does He want you to do?

Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. YOU

Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men

This is the confidence we have as Christians Know you can do it because you are doing it in obedience to Him Have a sense of what needs to be done Have a leading from God Know you can do it

What does God ask of us? To sow seeds of Gods word Spread the gospel

Read Ecclesiastes 9:10-12 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol where you are going. 11I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all. 12Moreover, man does not know his time: like fish caught in a treacherous net and birds trapped in a snare, so the sons of men are ensnared at an evil time when it suddenly falls on them.

Verse 11 outlines excuses that should not be considered

Verses to read on your own Philippians 2:13John 15:5

In conclusion This is your opportunity to prove God Jesus is our shepherd Jesus is our strength to get it done
