Assistant that asks for a sign…

In the work of God, there are many assistants who are imprisoned by their limitations. Many live real conflicts within themselves. Their inquiries and doubts are constant.
“How can I tell if God is with me?”
“Am I counseling correctly?”
“Am I pleasing God?”
“How am I going to do this or that?”
“How to talk, how to evangelize?”
There are numerous questions that come to mind, when facing different situations.
Gideon asked God for a sign, after the assertion that God gave him,
” And the Lord said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.” Then he said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who talk with me.”
(Judges 6: 16-17)
Gideon asked for a sign and God asked him for a SACRIFICE.
” That same night the Lord said to him, “Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one seven years old.[b] Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole[c] beside it. “(Judges 6:25)
In fact, the sacrifice to God is the answer to all our questions.
If I want to know how I’m going to overcome, if I want to be used by God and hurt the “Midianites” (problems, feelings of fear, doubts, insecurities etc.) as if they “one man”, that had no strength in his arm—the SACRIFICE is the SIGN that God is with me and that I will be an instrument in His hands, thus overcoming all my limitations.
That’s the answer! Make your Sacrifice, what you never did and never had the courage to do, and that you’ve kept for so long, especially within yourself … give that “second bull,” “tear down this “altar “of arrogance, pride, haughtiness you’ve built inside, and cut once and for all that relationship with the fantasies and everyday attractions that deceives so much. Honestly, I do not know what’s inside of you and that you must sacrifice, but I tell you that, it is what weakens you and does not allow you to grow.

I’ve been limiting myself in many things thus limiting God to work in my life & display His wonders. Thanks for posting Mrs Viviane

Thank you so much for this great and very strong message Mrs. Viviane Freitas. I understood that when we sacrifice it’s not matter how much money we need to gave but God’s need quantity.Surrender everything to Him and obey His voice with all our strength and faith.

Thank you Mrs Vivi you know, there are so many factors out there that pressurize us. This all in turn make us to ask these questions. I have learnt from this article that the sign I need is just sacrifice – that’s it !

When we sacrifice, it isn’t a matter of how much we give, but how we obey God’s voice.
