Ever felt unqualified for what God's calling you to do? You're not alone. The truth is, God never calls the qualified—He qualifies the called. This foundational principle unlocks understanding about our divine purpose and the spiritual gifts we've been given.

In this soul-stirring episode, we explore how spiritual gifts function like fire—they must be fanned into flame, nurtured, and consistently used, or they become dormant. While Romans 11:29 reminds us that "the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable," many believers let their God-given abilities lie inactive through fear, comparison, or simple neglect.

The reality is both sobering and exhilarating: you possess unique spiritual gifts that no one else can offer in quite the same way. These gifts aren't primarily for your benefit but were designed to serve others and glorify God. When you step into your calling, you'll quickly discover it requires supernatural empowerment—it's meant to be something impossible through human effort alone, ensuring God receives all glory. And someone is waiting on the other side of your obedience.

With Christ's return drawing nearer, there's an urgency to this message. We'll all give account for how we stewarded what God entrusted to us. Are you using your gifts? Are you walking worthy of your calling? Have you surrendered to God's purpose despite fear of what others might think? These questions deserve honest reflection.

Whether you're just beginning to discover your spiritual gifts or seeking to revitalize dormant ones, this episode provides practical guidance for identifying and stepping into your divine calling.

The question many Christians ask: "Was that God's voice or just my own thoughts?" This deeply personal struggle emerges especially when we face significant decisions, standing at crossroads where determining divine direction becomes crucial.

In this episode, we explore the profound difference between hearing God and truly listening to Him. John 10:27 reveals that Jesus' sheep don't merely hear His voice—they listen actively and follow intentionally. This distinction marks the pathway to spiritual maturity and authentic relationship with God.

God communicates in multiple ways—His written Word (alive and active, transforming us from within), the Holy Spirit's inner promptings, dreams and visions, godly counsel from other believers, and even occasionally through audible voice. Yet discerning His voice requires both knowledge and practice. We unpack five practical methods to position yourself for divine communication: daily Scripture immersion, cultivating stillness amid life's chaos, engaging in two-way prayer, journaling divine impressions, and practicing prompt obedience to what you've already heard.

True divine communication consistently aligns with Scripture, draws us closer to Jesus rather than away, produces spiritual fruit, and brings supernatural peace. While God's conviction may feel uncomfortable, it fundamentally differs from condemnation—one restores while the other destroys.

For every believer feeling distant from God's voice, the solution isn't complicated though it requires diligence: return to these foundational practices of listening. God isn't hiding—Jeremiah 29:13 promises that wholehearted seeking always leads to finding. The remarkable truth is that you can hear God's voice not because of your perfection, but because of His presence within you through the Holy Spirit.

Session 4 of the Finding Your Purpose Series:

That relentless pull toward something greater isn't random—it might be God stirring purpose within you. When we truly delight in Him, our desires shift to align with His divine will for our lives. But how do we distinguish between His promptings and our own ambitions?

Five powerful questions can guide this discernment journey. First, do you have peace about it? Even when God's calling seems overwhelming, it carries His unmistakable peace. Second, does it align with Scripture? God never contradicts His word. Third, have you genuinely surrendered it in prayer? Fourth, does it reflect God's character by drawing you closer to Him and serving others? Finally, have wise spiritual mentors confirmed this direction?

These divine stirrings take many forms—persistent thoughts, burdens for others, dreams you can't release—but they're often connected to the gifts God placed in you before birth. Yet timing matters. Not every God-given desire demands immediate action. Sometimes there are seasons of preparation where God is pruning and developing both you and your calling. He gives us seeds, not just fruit, and those seeds require patience through watering, nurturing, and testing.

Remember, God doesn't ask for qualifications—He asks for surrender. He's inviting you to partner in His purposes not because He needs you, but because He loves you and created you with specific gifts to fulfill specific callings. Your responsibility isn't the outcome but simple obedience. What desire keeps resurfacing in your heart? It might be time to take that step of faith.

Finding Your Purpose Series

Session 3

Ever waited for a thunderous voice from heaven only to hear silence? Maybe you've questioned whether those subtle thoughts were divine guidance or just your imagination. The good news is that God isn't playing hide-and-seek with you—He's constantly communicating, but perhaps not in the ways you've been expecting.

God speaks to each of us uniquely, much like how parents instinctively know the best way to communicate with each of their children. Your Creator knows exactly what will capture your attention and resonate with your heart. Sometimes His voice comes through dreams that demand interpretation; other times it's scripture that suddenly illuminates with fresh meaning just for you. For some, it's that unexplainable peace that descends in the midst of chaos or the persistent inner knowing that won't be silenced.

Divine communication doesn't follow a formula. It might arrive through worship music that moves you to tears, a timely sermon that addresses your exact situation, or through friends who unknowingly speak exactly what you needed to hear. While some have experienced God's audible voice, most often it's that "still small voice" within your spirit that requires intentional quiet to discern. What distinguishes God's voice from all others? It consistently brings peace, clarity, and sometimes loving conviction—but never confusion or fear.

The challenge isn't whether God is speaking; it's whether we're creating space to listen. This week, carve out intentional time away from distractions. Get quiet, open your heart, and simply listen. As Psalm 46:10 reminds us, "Be still and know that I am God." Remember, you were created on purpose, for a purpose, and hearing His voice is essential to discovering what that purpose is. Ready to tune your spiritual ears to His frequency? Join us next week as we continue the Finding Your Purpose series and go deeper together.

Finding Your Purpose Series- Session 2: God Wants to Use Your Story!

What if the most painful chapters of your life are exactly what God wants to use right now? Not after you've polished your story or tied it with a neat bow, but in its raw, authentic state.

The testimony of what Jesus has done in your life carries supernatural power. As Revelation 19:10 reveals, "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" – meaning when you share what God has done for you, you're prophetically declaring He can do it again for others. Your breakthrough isn't just yours; it's a roadmap for someone else's journey toward freedom.

Many of us have endured trauma, rejection, addiction, depression, or divorce – experiences we'd rather forget. Yet these painful moments often become the foundation for our greatest purpose. The enemy hoped these wounds would destroy you, but God intends to use them as launching pads for ministry, business, creativity, or whatever calling He's placed on your life. As 2 Corinthians teaches, He comforts us specifically so we can comfort others with that same divine comfort.

Your healing has a ripple effect beyond your personal redemption story. The battles you've fought might be exactly what someone else needs to find their way through similar darkness. That's why I'm challenging you to document your testimony today – the real version, not the sanitized one. Write down where God met you, how He transformed you, and what He redeemed. Even the unfinished parts of your journey matter.

Ready to let God use your story? Join me for session three of the Finding Your Purpose series dropping next week, and connect with me during my live TikTok session on April 28th at 12 pm Eastern Time @YvonnePaschalMinistries Remember: you were created on purpose, for a purpose. Your story isn't over, and it's about to set someone else free.

Finding Your Purpose Series- Session 1

Have you been searching high and low for your purpose, only to feel more confused and frustrated? The revelation that changes everything is startlingly simple: your purpose isn't "out there" waiting to be discovered—it's already within you.

This eye-opening exploration takes us deep into Romans 12:6, revealing how our gifts aren't random coincidences but divinely appointed tools specifically chosen for each of us. Through a practical four-step approach, you'll learn how to recognize what God has already deposited in you. From identifying natural talents that bring you joy to understanding your spiritual gifts designed for kingdom impact, this roadmap guides you toward the intersection where your identity and assignment meet.

The journey begins with honest self-reflection about what comes naturally to you and where others consistently seek your help. We then explore how assessments like StrengthsFinder can put language to your innate abilities, whether they're in communication, strategy, relationship-building, or other areas. Your spiritual gifts—perhaps teaching, prophecy, encouragement, or administration—extend beyond church walls into every sphere of life, evolving as you grow in Christ.

Most powerfully, you'll discover why comparison derails purpose and how even "small" gifts fulfill crucial roles in God's grand design. True fulfillment comes not from chasing external success but from faithfully stewarding what's already in your hands. When you use your unique combination of gifts for God's glory, your purpose naturally unfolds, bringing clarity and satisfaction to your spiritual journey. If you're ready to stop searching and start seeing what God already placed within you, this message will transform your understanding of divine purpose.

Have you ever experienced a miracle so profound that words fail? That's exactly where I've been living these past few weeks—immersed in testimonies of divine healing, resurrections, and heavenly encounters that have utterly transformed my faith walk.

These aren't just feel-good stories; they're divine invitations into deeper faith. When we witness God's supernatural power—whether through physical healing, emotional restoration, or literal resurrection—we're reminded that the God of the Bible is actively working wonders today. These miraculous accounts serve as powerful signs that awaken believers to realms of God's ability we often acknowledge but haven't fully embraced experientially.

Your testimony carries similar power. Revelation 12:11 tells us believers overcome "by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony." When you share how God has worked in your life, you create a bridge for others to believe He can do the same for them. Someone is silently suffering right now, desperate for hope that change is possible—and your story might be exactly what they need to hear.

This spiritual awakening has coincided with a significant shift in my own ministry. After leaving my corporate job last October, I heard the Lord say "Be gathering"—a directive I initially misinterpreted, but which He clarified as a call to focus on gathering souls. With the conviction that Christ's return is imminent, I'm temporarily laying down aspects of my business to prioritize reaching those who don't know Him. As Jesus taught in Matthew 6:33, when we seek first His kingdom, everything else falls into place.

Has this message stirred something in your heart? Whether you're hearing about God's healing power for the first time or feeling called to share your own testimony, I'd love to hear from you. Follow me on social media @Yvonne.Paschal to join this journey of faith, healing, and purpose as we await Christ's return.
