How do I know what my purpose and calling is for my life?

Do these words sound familiar?

Deuteronomy 6:4-7 

"Hear, O Israel : The Lord our G-d, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your G-d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength .  "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart . You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up .

 What are we really being asked to do here?

   

 

You are being commanded: You SHALL love the Lord G-d, teach the Word to your children and others, live and breathe G-d in all your daily activities from morning to night . You CAN do this . Let’s learn how .

The main focus of this study course is to enable you to actually carry out this “great commission.”

Matthew 28:18-20 Yeshua (Jesus) came and told His disciples, "I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth . Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and the Son (Yeshua) and the Holy Spirit (Ruach haKodesh) . Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you . And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age . "

The command to “go and make disciples” is not a mere suggestion any more than the ten-commandments are G-d’s ten suggestions . What does it mean to go and make disciples? When we make disciples, we are producing believers by mentoring them until they are grounded in their beliefs and have a firm foundation in the Word (Bible . ) This book will help you to carry out that calling .

Question:

Out of every 10 people who accept Yeshua (Jesus) and G-d’s free gift of salvation, one year later how many of them do you think have left the faith and are looking for G-d elsewhere?

 

80% of new believers leave the faith within one year. Quoted from Rick Joyner’s The Harvest Volume 2.

Why is this happening? Because the vast majority of believers believe their ONLY job is to get people atoned (saved . ) How could so many well-meaning believers come to such an incorrect assumption that this is their “primary job”? Perhaps they were told by the person that brought them to the Lord that their job is to bring more people to the Lord . That is great, honorable, important, Scriptural, yet also naïve .     

If your job was to bring as many 16 year olds to a place where they could get a free car you would certainly succeed . But if all you did was say “Here’s your car, congratulations and enjoy your free gift”, how many of those kids would crash and burn and cause deaths and lasting injuries to themselves and those around them? How many of their relatives and friends would tell other kids to stay away from the place where they give away free cars? My point is this . Just as you would need to teach those kids how to drive and teach them about the rules of the road, so it is after you bring someone to the Lord . It is imperative that you teach them . You can give them this book and that would be a good beginning . Make sure they get connected to other mature believers who can help them to grow .

That means stay with them, hold their hand, until they are securely connected to other believers and a place of worship . Mentoring them is the key to success .

Perhaps you were shown this Scripture verse as the proof that G-d wants us to bring others to Him:
