How did you know you were called?
There are several threads regarding the ministry and I was wondering: How did you know you were called to preach?
Did God speak audibly? Dream...Vision? How did your calling come to you?
I was called in my teens. I'd go to church and preachers would call me out and say things like "This young man will one day preach". I began to pray about t and had visions of me preaching. I'd stand to testify and end up "preaching". One day in church, the Lord spoke to my heart saying something like "Go into the streets and preach the Gospel". At that time, I had no idea something similar to those words was in the Bible. I told the pastor what I believed God had spoken to me. The next Saturday, I preached my first message on the street corner in a well known "trinitarian" town. I was 15 years old.
So, preachers, how did you know you were called to preach?
