Plans Purposes and Pursuits
I started reading another book yesterday, Plans Purposes and Pursuits by Kenneth
Hagin. An excellent choice on the topic of fulfilling the plan of God on your life. I burned through the first 50 pages and then had to put it down; not because there is so much to chew on, but because I need to make some adjustments in my life. Then I will continue reading and absorb the rest of the book's message.
Hagin took a few pages to stress the importance of first finding your calling, THEN asking God to bless it, instead of the too-common way of doing what you think is a good idea, then asking God to bless that. The message of the book sounds very simple, doesn't it? If it's so simple, then why aren't more Christians doing it?

I think many people are not doing it because they do not really understand how to get God's direction.Many are lost and do not really understand the true power in the word of God.Jake it is always exciting to hear of you wanting to grow in your plan with God. Praise the Lord!
But that's just it, hearing from God is not some super-spiritual difficult ability. If someone really, really wants to hear from God, I think they will. It all comes back to the basics; reading your Bible, and praying...regularly. By doing this, change will occur in the heart, which establishes a craving for God, which means you want to spend time with Him, which means you'll have fellowship with Him, which means you hear from Him. Boom! That's it.
Yep Jake your writing is good. Buttt.. people really dont think their is that power or direction. I was one of them. No longer because I have experienced Gods Holy spirit.And the Bible really is real.Praise the Lord!
