What about when we are not sure God has called us to do something? Or he hasn't called us to do something? Or we (just us) think something is a good idea? Something that may advance his kingdom anyway, something that honours and glorifies him, something in faith, something out of love and joy, something good and exciting, should we do it anyway? Without a specific confirmation from the Lord?!
Or would that be a dead work, a tangent, distraction, red-herring getting in the way of what he wants us to do anyway?
Do we pray, asking for the answer or confirmation we want to move forward, do we just move forward without confirmation, or do we stop and look for his will again?
I don't remember specifically being called to do June Project, to go to Soul Survivor, to help at CU events, to be on the pure team, but I did them anyway. Were these works dead? Or were they made alive through my faith and God's grace in me? I do remember feeling called to do certain things that I didn't actually do, like 'a mission to Southport', like a chat to a friend and others, did my apathy, other people's apathy, my lack of time, my worldly mind stop me from doing God's will and lead me to dead works...? I do remember being called to do something that I did do, like CU in Birkdale, or questioning friends' faith at times like easter... were those works alive in God, was the kingdom advanced through my work, was God glorified?
Should I just go for it until I get the no-no from God?
Have I been called to do this and the Devil is putting doubts in my mind?
Can I do a good work if God hasn't called me to it? Should I?!
Just a few questions....!
