Galatians 1:15-18

“15. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,

16. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

17. Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.

18. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.”

Most of the time when God is calling you deeper, it is human nature to want to discuss it with someone. However, this is not always the best move.

Taking the example from Paul, we must turn to God. Generally speaking, people mean well and want to offer guidance or good advice. The only problem is they are not the one who called you and they are unable to guide you to where God is taking you. It makes more sense to seek the God who called you.

To walk in this deeper calling, you will need to separate yourself in consecration to hear from God. This is that sacrifice we always talk about. Fasting. To be what God has called always requires a sacrifice on our part. But any sacrifice we make is worth it because the reward is greater. There is no greater feeling than knowing we pleased God. Fulfilling our call pleases God.

Once God reveals himself or his will to you it is then okay to share with people. But doing so prematurely can hinder your progress. Many times people will want to burden you with their lack of faith or what they feel your next step should be. Or they may even doubt your call. This sort of distraction is something we cannot afford. Stay focused and Keep your own secrets. Seek God, trust God.

Enjoy the journey.
