GOD IS WAITING ON YOU!

Now before I close this post, I want to share with you a few suggestive, yet practical tips after you’ve said yes to God…

• Try fasting (choose one: lunch time fast, 6am-6pm, 6am-6am, Daniel fast, etc.) – It’s all for the purpose of hearing God more clearly for direction and the task (even if you’ve started doing His will on a particular thing, you can always pause for a fast, if you feel the Lord leading you to do so)  
• Pray and ask for wisdom on what to do specifically (God is very detailed oriented) and pray for strength and endurance
• Take time to wait for direction (don’t rush in…be still in His presence and wait for Him to reveal the next steps) – this works especially when you feel stuck. If you look back in biblical history, most of the time God’s will took time to unfold (remember the Ark, rebuilding the temple, getting to the promised land, etc.) So, trust in His perfect timing to complete whatever task or tasks He gives you
• Prepare yourself in every way: stay connected to the Vine (Jesus Christ), allow God to develop your character along the way, grow from your mistakes, keep a consistent prayer life, and study the Word of God to mature in your faith, strengthen you personally, help others, and to get to know the Lord better (this will also help big time when He speaks through His Spirit to you, because you’ve already been in His presence and in His Word)
• Write out what He reveals to you through the Bible, your prayer and devotional time, and through others (godly wisdom) and do what He shows you to do. 😉
• Know that saying “yes” to God can be exhilarating, too! Before Jesus went to the cross, He trained the disciples, fellowshipped with people, healed the sick, comforted the brokenhearted, and set many captives free (ex. the adulterous woman) – saying yes to God can be very fulfilling 

So, whether saying yes to God is becoming the best helpmate to your husband that you can be, training up your children in the ways of the Lord, serving in your local church or community, being a light on your job, accepting a hard truth or trial, or being more intentional about sharing the gospel with non-believers or encouraging the body of Christ, your yes matters.  
 
When you say YES, again, you are doing His will, and not your own. You are doing what He has called you to do. You are making a difference in someone’s life. You are glorifying God. So, carry it out unto completion, my sister. He’s got you!
