Can I ask for a sign to confirm or deny where God wants me to serve as Gideon did?

One thing often overlooked is that Gideon first worshiped the Father and also offered sacrifice. He did this before he asked the Father to show it is HIM.

Fast and pray to God >Is 58. Make no decision out of pressure. Be lead by the peace of God. Not everyone is called to be a pastor and those that are called to be a pastor God should be leading them and directing them.

They should be filled with the Holy Spirit and know the voice of God. Only God and tell and lead someone into what He has called them to do. After God reveals s will and call on one's life He always will confirm it with 2-3 witnesses that line up to Fast and pray in Jesus name only God can reveal this to you.

If you read the entire account of Gideon, you'll see that God had already made Gideon chose to not take God at s word and insisted on tangible evidence that God in grace gave him. If you are seeking God's direction, trust m to lay Once you're sure you've heard obey.

Of course, Jesus even said "Ask". Luke 11:9And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. I believe Jesus told the Pharisees not to request signs because they did not believe.

I am not sure that any amount of signs will cause someone to believe. But, because you DO believe, you are asking your Heavenly Father for guidance, acknowledging m as the supreme creator of all and the Lord and ruler of your life. I believe by asking we are making known to we believe in and that we know He loves us and wants the best for us.

Now having said that, I also believe that you will get an answer but remember to test the spirits to find the truth as our enemy, satan, the devil, will sometimes disguise himself and seem to be that which he is not, after all he was an angel and he is sneaky! Especially for those who may not know the voice of God all that well. So I say ask.Blessings.Ps (Little s in satan on purpose, I don’t like the guy!

).

I personally think that you should just do what ever you feel is right. One thing I remember from college, a Jesuit priest told me that "your deepest desire is what God desires for you as well". So if you wanna do the outreach work then go ahead.

You never know, the outreach offer might have been the sign and you're just looking for a reason to say no. Then again you might also really not want to do it and you're just having difficulty turning it down. Just go with you're conscience, pick what you feel is most correct and stand by it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
