Let God Use You: From Surrender to Being Sent in Faith

Update Understanding God's Call: The Journey from Surrender to Being Sent In the latest episode of the Global Prayer Storm podcast, hosted by James Gaul, the theme is clear: God wants to use each one of us, transforming us from a state of surrender to becoming sent ones. With this message, we are reminded that God encounters are not just for the prophets or special leaders; rather, they are for everyone, emphasizing that spiritual gifts manifest in many forms across our various spheres of influence.In 'Let God Use You! Global Prayer Storm Podcast', the discussion dives into the transformative journey of surrendering to God's call, providing key insights that sparked a deeper analysis on our end. Embracing Prophetic Ministry: What it Means for You The journey of answering God’s call often begins with a deep, personal surrender—an acknowledgment of our human limitations and a willingness to submit to divine guidance. Isaiah 6:8 encapsulates this beautifully, showcasing Isaiah's powerful response: "Here am I. Send me!" This is a reminder that each one of us is invited into a deeper relationship with God where we can participate actively in His plans for our lives and the wider world. Learning from Isaiah's Experience: The Role of Prophets Isaiah's encounter with the divine serves as a significant teaching moment. After recognizing his own unclean state, he was purified before being commissioned to serve. This sequence of surrender, purification, and sending is crucial for every believer today. The podcast emphasizes that we should not underestimate the necessity of prayer for prophetic leaders, as they are essential conduits through which God communicates and enacts His will. From Personal Conviction to Collective Calling A critical takeaway from the podcast is the notion of collective versus personal calling. Just as Isaiah initially recognized his own iniquities, we too are called to confront our shortcomings while actively participating in the spiritual well-being of our communities. James Gaul encourages believers to identify with the needs of others, standing in the gap as intercessors and advocates for their faith. This theme resonates profoundly in the current climate, where many seek to understand their role within a larger framework of faith. Participating in Global Prayer: An Invitation to Action The podcast highlights an upcoming event—the day to pray for the prophets—scheduled for the third Friday in July, coinciding with Amos 3:7. This prayer initiative is designed to strengthen the prayer network and prepare believers to hear from God. Each participant is encouraged to join in prayer, contribute to the community, and allow God to manifest His presence in their lives. Embarking on a Holy Journey: Practical Steps to Surrender If you find yourself asking, "How can I allow God to use me?" consider the following practical steps: 1) Seek God earnestly; spend dedicated time in prayer and Bible study. 2) Find a healthy community or church that encourages your growth and accountability. 3) Begin by serving in small ways, whether through volunteering or sharing encouragement with those around you. Remember, it’s about growth—both in wisdom and favor with God and man. James Gaul's message is clear: God desires to utilize our unique gifts for His purpose, and it starts with our surrender. By yielding our lives to Him, we become vessels through which He can work, leading us from a place of helplessness to purposeful empowerment.
