We must remember when we use the name of God and HE said...we are involving HIS character and pesonality. We must be careful not to take the Name of the Lord in vain.

You are very right, and this is a worthy message for anyone who thinks they are called to must consider-
I do think people say "God told me" or "God said" way too easily..for one the voice of God goes through our gray matter (our brains) and sometimes God maybe speaking and he could be saying "pray" and instead of praying they "go"
You are saying some great stuff Sister Alvear! You can tell you are a preacher.
Some people are so filled with emotions they do things without even thinking...no wonder they build on the sand. We must have a solid conviction of what God has called us to do. Many make ship wreck of their lives and the lives around them.

Jesus said, MY sheep will know my voice...in the last few years I have noticed more than ever before so many people that say God told them to do something or go somewhere and before you know it GOD has changed his mind...
Have you folks seen a lot of that in your area?
If we had on the field everyone that GOD told to come to Brazil since I have been here we would almost be stepping on each other´s toes...Either we have a lot of people who disobey God or a lot of people who do not know the voice of God.
I cannot imagine serving a God who could not make up His mind...
I used to believe people like that- I once gave 1k that I didnt have because of that--many many years ago.
It is wrong to deceive people, some people their position goes to their heads and they take advantage of innocent people.
Jeff and I very rarely give or commit to giving in the same service as a presentation. It's not that we're stingy--we're not at all!--but we've learned if God wants us to give on Wednesday, He'll still want us to give it on Sunday. It's alright to go home, pray about it, look over the budget, and make a wise decision.
