Greetings to all of my lovely brothers & sisters in Christ.

I am asking for a prayer request to help me realize God's plan for me. I have had a revelation and for the past three months have been trying to decide what it meant. Today I ultimately decided to quit my job (I am a business owner so this is HUGE!) due to an overwhelming feeling that this is not where God wants me to be. I'm not really sure how He wants me to serve him yet but have given my worries and anxieties up to Him and know He will ultimately shine light on where He wants to use me on Earth. I'm just praying for strength against any opposition because what I am doing is considered unconventional today and I know people will have a hard time understanding. As well as praying for hopeful patience while I wait in His loving arms.

Thanks!

Mcgownn I'm praying for God to direct your path. There may be some tests along the way so be prepared and don't doubt your courageous decision. I am sure He is pleased you want to glorify Him with your life and will bless you for it. All of God's best to you.

Thanks everyone!! I made some progress today--explained to my family I would like to leave my very profitable business that I started from the ground up to follow God's word. I told them I didn't know what exactly that was yet, and although it seemed absurd I knew it my heart it was the right thing and that I am fully confident He will provide. I prayed hard for strength for me & understanding from my family and.... THEY TOTALLY SUPPORT ME. I almost fell out of my chair when they said that!! God is good all the time but then there are times He is overwhelmingly surprising!! But that was the first step & I a patiently wait to see what His next move.

In Christ name!!!
Thanks to all who have prayed and responded with support, I truly appreciate it :)

keep seeking the truth, preach repentance and faith proven by deeds, as John the Baptist did, and be sure you are in the faith, and a true saint of God, I pray you will be strong in wherever He leads you, but you must be in His will first, and walking the narrow road that leads to eternal life!

Seek those things which are above!

Col 3:1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.
Col 3:2 Be mindful of things above, not on things on the earth.
Col 3:3 For you died, and your life has been hidden with Christ in God.
These powerful verses above really sum up what is required of you to walk a pure and holy life before God!
But as with all the powerful scriptures, they come with a strong warning and something we must do!
Now IF you were truly raised with Christ in newness of life that comes from the truly repented and crucified life, you will be seeking the things which are from above! The things that please the Lord, who is sitting at the right hand of God!
It also warns to be mindful of thing’s above, which is purity, sincerity and love, and not on the things of this world, as many who profess Christ have it backwards. They love the things of the earth or world more than crucifying their flesh with Christ, and walking the narrow road that leads to life!
Now the most powerful warning so far is the last verse that says you died! Died to what?
You died to sin, worldliness, and rebellion to God, having truly repented (sin stops) and now your new life is free from the corrupting influence of the world and sin, and now hidden with Christ in God!
This death must occur through the process of godly sorrow which produces repentance leading to salvation, if its real, and from the heart, which will show proof such as a clearing of all wrong doing, amending you ways if necessary, a strong fear of God and His wrath to come, plus a vehement desire to cast out of doors all defilement and attachment’s to the world and its vain ways!
This is what real repentance produces in the humble, and obedient soul, who has yielded to the powerful conviction of the spirit of God, who abounds around the whole world, convicting the whole world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, not asking the lost sinner to just accept, believe, and confess in something that never happened!
1Jn 5:4 For everything that has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. (Obedience to the truth)
