I do have some family members who are.

I have no doubt that God truly lets a person know when He
calls them.

I'm sure you have prayed earnestly and have confided in your
Pastor.

Continue to pray and fast. I will help you pray.

May God use you mightily in these last days.

Hooray!

Know Him in whom you have believed (2 Timothy 1:12; also Jeremiah 9:24).

Be a vessel meet for the Master's use (2 Timothy 2:21).

Perfect holiness in the fear of God, cleansing yourself of all filthiness of flesh and spirit (2 Corinthians 7:1).

Preach the Gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15).

If you seek the approval of men instead of God or if you desire to please men, you will not be a servant of Christ (Galatians 1:10).

Remember that the creative force through which the Father made all things, that is to say, the Logos of God, is manifested through preaching (Titus 1:3 with John 1:1-3).

If you ever attempt to speak, let it only be as an oracle of God (1 Peter 4:11).

If you would manifest your sonship of God while you preach, you must be led by the Spirit of God as you preach (Romans 8:14).

In other words Jaydin7656, get off the internet and find your pastor.

I would think that instead of picturing yourself on the platform with a microphone in your hand,
picture yourself ministering to the needs of the church and the lost in your city.,
find ways to serve in your local church easing any burdens on the church leadership.

Talk to your pastor about how you feel, then be willing to do anything you are asked to do for any length of time you are asked to do it. Fall in love with ALL the work of God before you fall in love with the pulpit. Pray, study and win souls, but don’t do it for your “ministry”.

He’s saying that you preach to the toilets before people. So, pick up a scrub brush and a vacuum...

Called to preach? Look out your window, there's your audience. Plenty of folks out there in your city. Go get 'em.

Pray, know the Word, and be sincere. God will have His way, though it may not be what you expect.

Good thing Jesus didn't tell that to the Apostles. It would of taken way longer than 3 1/2 years waiting for those dudes to measure up to Spic and Span.

There is a lot of truth to this. We can offer advice as far as this forum will allow us. You need to confide into your Pastor, and leaders in the church, talk with them.

Proverbs 18:16
A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

Whatever gift you have, God will use you in it, don’t be impatient allow the Holy Ghost to use you in His time, and Will. Allow the great men in your life to lead you as they follow Christ.
