There will be times when things will look impossible to you. There will be times when you will be tempted to quit. But if God said you can do it, YOU CAN DO IT!
"...But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits."
—Daniel 11:32
Find out what God's vision for you is and go for it. When He calls you, He equips you with everything you need.
Know that you are called, first of all. I knew the day I was first called into the ministry. God sent someone along later to confirm it. Often He will send someone to confirm it.
The first person God sent to confirm the call to me was Kathryn Kuhlman. That was a miracle to me, because I had idolized her for so long. I had seen her twice before. I'd seen Catholic nuns raised up out of wheelchairs in her meetings. In one meeting, a lady behind me was instantly healed of blindness. She began to scream, "I can see, I can see!" Those things made quite an impression on me!
When my mother was graduated from Oral Roberts University, we had our photograph taken with Kathryn Kuhlman, who was the Commencement speaker. Miss Kuhlman laid her thin hand on my head, tapped her little thumb on the top of my head, and said, "You're going to be a preacher, aren't you?"
She confirmed what God already had spoken to me. I just went on with what God had told me to do.
When the calling comes, though, devils will be assigned to try to talk you out of it. They will stick around and harass you until you let them know that you mean business and you're going to answer the call, no matter what. Then they'll leave you alone and go find somebody else to harass. Protect your calling. (It takes some people years to figure that out.)
Many times the call of God is known from the time a person is saved. It might not be accepted, but it's known.
