What did Gideon do once he was convinced of his call? Do you know what your call is in life? Explain.
Let’s pray
Dear God,
I come to you as humble as I know how to ask you to reveal my purpose in life. I am Created2Produce. I was created in Your Image. Everything about You in Your Word is about completing destiny.
I stand in faith on Joshua 1:8 – New International Version (NIV) which reads: Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
I stand in faith on Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV) which reads11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Wisdom and knowledge shall be mine according to your word, Amen!

As soon as Gideon discovered he could complete the God given task, he moved with eagerness and confidence to fulfill his assignment. I believe one of my calls in life is an Intercessor. I enjoy praying and encouraging people during good times, not so good times and difficult times. When I was growing up, my friends would come and talk with me about their problems and challenges and I would encourage, console and listen, During my adolescent years, I discovered my interest in helping the underserved and those less fortunate. Although, I knew about prayer, I did more listening, consoling and trying to make people feel good about themselves. Eventually, I became an Intercessor and have stayed on that path until this day.

• Obedience
8) Do you know what your call is in life? If so, explain. If not, let’s pray
• Yes – Teacher as it relates to Eph 4:11 & 1 Cor 12:27
• I have started serving as one of the teachers in my Sunday School Class and it has revitalized me. I get excited about doing the research to share a complete picture with the class. I believe it’s important to be a great teacher in order to make disciples of all nations.

Once Gideon was convinced, he obeyed with zest, resourcefulness and speed.
God called me to be a prophet and teacher to prepare His people for Jesus’ return. As I became and continue to become aware of my own brokenness in life and the spirits that governs my life as a results of my childhood experiences that held me bound and as I continue to work it out and walk in my healing, God has also called me to minister to the broken hearted, to journey with young people in their state of brokenness to a place of wholeness in God, that they may fulfill God’s purpose in their life.

What did Gideon do once he was convinced of his call? He obeyed God’s call and will for his life.
Do you know what your call is in life? Explain. To be a servant unto to God, speak his word, and teach his word unto the nation of his people. Letting them know that they must repent and come out of the old lifestyle that they’re living and accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour.

Do you know what your call is in life? No/Yes/Maybe So If so, explain. If not, let’s pray
Looking back over my childhood, I lived with my Aunt and Uncle from age 7 months to 7 years old. I was always alone. My Aunt was a beautician. Her shop was in the back yard. The entire house and yard were fenced in. The driveway was the length of the front yard and the house. So, between the back yard, next to the shop’s entrance, and the driveway, with a view from a window of the shop, I had plenty of running room.
I played like I was fishing (my Aunt had a beach house in Port Bolivar that she bought when I was 2 years old, and I learned how to fish very well.) I also imagined that I could type (my Aunt always bought me a typewriter, manual, whenever we went to the Salvation Army on Washington Avenue).
I grew up wanting to know how to type. I’ve love typing all of my life, but I did not take typing in school until my senior year. My parents bought my sister a typewriter for Christmas one year. She never touched it. I have no idea how old I was, but I put on the teaching record that came with it and taught myself the keyboard. I am going to guess that it was my freshman or sophomore of high school. I asked for a blank keyboard and would look at the chart in the front of the room as I typed. I made all A’s and was the fastest one in my class. I was so fast, there was a boy that sat next to me that could not type well. I would type my lessons during class and then type his (with a few mistakes). Forgive me Lord! It was when I began working as a System Operator that I realized how much I loved being an administrator, helping others learn the various office equipment, and of course, typing. I had a Supervisor that saw those qualities in me before I ever realized the interest myself. In fact, it took many years after her retiring for me to realize it. But, as Gideon, I did not think I was qualified to excel, therefore I never applied myself. And even though I worked for one company my entire career, I never reached my full salary potential.
So, I am going to say that what I did for 42 years as an employee, what I am currently doing now in ministry, and what my family and friends rely on me to do in my personal life is to be an Administrative Associate.
As I read Created2Produce and absorb your life story, I know that I have a book in me. I’ve known it for a while. I have even had a title for it for about 10-12 years. I know that God will inspire me if I would put my heart and mind into it. At age 65, I am alone again and only Gold knows the plan and purpose He has for my future. I am open to receive the revelation.
Dear God,
I come to you as humble as I know how to ask you to reveal my purpose in life. I know am Created2Produce; I just have no idea what. You know how much I love Administrative work. And even though I am now 65 years old, I still love it. I just don’t have the energy of stamina to do it full time. So, I pray and ask you to show me how to continue doing what I love administratively, with balance. I was created in Your Image. Everything about You in Your Word is about completing destiny. I say “yes” to completing destiny as long as you allow me to wake up every day.
I stand in faith on Joshua 1:8 – New International Version (NIV) which reads: Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. I ask you to give me the desire to read and give me the mind to understand what I read and to write it in my heart so that You may speak through me in the areas of life that You place me in to fulfill the Great Commission of being a fisher of men.
I stand in faith on Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV) which reads: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Wisdom and knowledge shall be mine according to your word, Amen! Transform me and conform me to Your will and Your ways!
