Summary:
How confident are you that you are where God wants you?
Do you know who you are? Do you know His voice?
It is very practical and easy to connect with Him where He is.
Ask the Lord if “this” is where He wants you, get confirmation
Ask God for that confirmation.
Show notes:
God is very practical and easy, not afar off, He is right here.
Connect with Him where He is, you do not need to travel
a thousand miles because you heard of someone speaking
something about God.
If in a “dead” church, then find where you can find life.
Ask God to reveal where He wants you, our feelings do not
matter as our feelings will not always be correct.
How does one find the will of the Father for them?
What is the process? How does one find the “proof”?
Like Gideon, ask God for confirmation, He will give it.
