Some people say that God wants us to keep trying different things until we get it right. But this is nottrue. God wants you to know exactly where you¡¯re going. He doesn¡¯t want you to stumble around, unsure of whether the steps you are taking are the right ones. Instead, He desires that you have crystal-clear hearing so you can receive specific instructions regarding the path He wants you to take. In other words, God wants you to stop and ask Him for directions daily. The prophet Jeremiah, was ordained to be a prophet before he was even born; it was God¡¯s plan for his life (Jeremiah 1:4-10; 29:11). Similarly,you have a God-given mission that God will help you carry out. The key to executing the mission, or vision, God has given you is your ability to receive directions from Him and your willingness to immediately obey what He tells you to do. When you increase your awareness of God¡¯s voice, you position yourself to step rightinto His perfect will for your life. God¡¯s directions give light to your vision. They are the steps you must take to accomplish God¡¯s master plan for your life. Your greatest asset is an unbroken connection with God. Through daily fellowship with Him and study of His Word, you empower yourself to recognize His voice and obey Him in even the smallestact. Just like pieces of a puzzle, each step you take enables you tosee the bigger picture.
You must discover what God desires for you to accomplish in the earth. This means quality time communing with Him and makingHis Word the final authority in every area of your life. The Holy Spirit is your guide as you walk out the path for your life, so consult Him regularly. Check with Him before making any decisions, and if you don¡¯t have peace in your spirit about something, don¡¯tproceed. On the other hand, if youfeel ¡°clearance¡± from the Holy Spirit to step out on something you believe God has told you to do, and it lines up with His written Word, move forward withconfidence knowing that He is backing you up.
