I am a homeless 56 year old male. I now do ministry work at my church. I can not work a job because of my health. The ministry work I do is diffrent. I can pace my own self so I want give out. At the end of my short day I feel so rewarded and good for what I have done, this is a better feeling than working tord any paycheck. My church takes care of me and has blessed me in so many ways.
I want to think God for what he has blessed me with, I might be homeless but I am happy, blessed and loved from God through my church.
THANK YOU GOD
I am 38 years old and i still feel lost on what my calling is, but i still pray and i trust that God will show me the way. Please pray for me too that i will trust in him and follow his path......thank you
Hey the calling that all christian have is to make all nations disciples!
Hi ! Where are you now since it's been 2 years from your post. I am in exactly the same situation, absolutely lost and no direction
@@Claudia-yc8xksame!!
Heavenly Father I pray that you hear the call and requests of your faithful children. Provide clarity and direction as they navigate their daily lives. REVEAL YOUR WILL TODAY TO THOSE THAT SEEK YOUR GUIDANCE. AMEN. 🙏🏻🫶🏻
I have always loved Dr. Stanley's teaching. When I began to grow in Christ, he was one of the Pastors I've always listened to.
Me too. 🙏💜🙏
Me too💜🙏
Me too
Me too!🙂❤
So true when I first got saved I did not know much about scripture he is one of the first bible teachers I listened to
Proof that you don’t have to be a young pastor in skinny jeans and metro vibes to have a great message. Love this pastor!
7:00 Amen. I would like to add a word or two to Brother Charles's wisdom. Even when we miss our calling, if we seek the Lord, with all our hearts, mind and soul. He will do wonders with whatever is left over. No matter how old, broken or sinful we are. Always remember. Nothing is impossible with God.
Pastor Stanley, I hope my words reach your eyes and heart. I have called you my "Spiritual Grandpa" for as long as I can remember, I have looked up to you for God driven guidance and advice, and you have had more of a positive influence in my life than any other, second to God. This message brought me to tears, you have helped me feel the unconditional love of our Lord all these years, and to be reminded of His ultimate guidance and blessings in life. Praise God for you, thank you! Mel :-)
BodyCareBoutique I feel the same way! ❤
I echo your sentiments. I always feel such peace listening to Dr. Stanley, and I can attest to the truth of this video--God will move heaven and earth to reveal His will for your life. God bless you and Dr. Stanley.
BodyCareBoutique A M E N !!!
Aww that is so cute!I have to agree with you He is a good preacher.He makes it plain and simple. I have also learned from him.
Wow, what a beautiful comment, you express my feelings exactly.....5 years later!! I did not know Pastor Stanley 5 years ago. He is my 'go to', every time I listen to him it is like Holy Spirit is speaking so loud and so clearly through him. Such a legacy he leaves, what an awesome soldier of God. God Bless you Pastor Stanley! You have brought me God more times than I can begin to thank you for. And I do, thank you, for answering His call!!!!!!!
I look back on my life, and I see that God has been leading me where He wants me to go. I thought my job as a server in restaurants was not important. However, I look back and see that because of my job, I have influenced many people. Even my hob was for the glory of God. Thank you God for making me what I am today. Fay Carroll
3 years ago i watched this video when i was troubled and confused in my spirit about God's call over my life, i cried all night that day, it was terrible but God confirmed his calling over my life by that time and now im pursuing the fulfilment of his work through me...
Thank-you,I have waisted years,now I need to do what God called me to!
God bless you with that. Your life doesn't have to be wasted, just desire to obey Him, God knows and sees our hearts. He has all the best for you! 😊
Same here. More than two decades worth. How are you doing 6 years later?
Don’t be afraid my dear friend,what God has called you to do he will give you power to do,I also am called to preach,glory to God because we are base creatures and God will get all the glory through our preaching🙂
How are you all now ? God bless all
I have been praying about relocation. After 7days of fasting, I got 2 confirmations on one day, in a matter of hrs that the Lord is saying I am to move. Now my next waiting period is to find out where will be my new address that God is leading me to. And next will be the money he’ll need to provide to move. I have great faith that He will finish what He started. If you read this, Please pray that God will make it clear as He did when 2 people said I am to move without me mentioning anything about moving.
Thank you
You ate nothing for 7 days?? Or you fasted for certain meals?
Please pray for me I want to know my calling. Lord I repent of my sins. I may have missed my calling. I’m in my 40’s and still don’t know what my gifts are.
@lesliethomas5088 I know exactly how u feel. In my 50s and still want to know what my talent or calling is?
God Bless u Dr. Stanley!! Ur insight has really propelled my walk in Christ!!!
Indeed
Born2sing28 I love Dr. Stanley’s preaching! There have been so many times, God has delivered messages directly to me through this wonderful man. I’m sure you don’t read these, Dr. Stanley, but if you do. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Born2sing28 exactly how I feel! Thank you for putting it into words for me
At a young age I was hit with the immense desire to travel, visit other countries, meet people around the world, see as much of the earth as possible.
The desire was so strong and filled me with so much joy and hope.
I lost this feeling for a while, became obsessed with my looks and material things but recently I asked God if traveling was still my calling, and it makes my heart feel whole.
I don’t know where I’m supposed to go or what I’m supposed to do.
My boyfriend and I have friends within the church, and our pastor friend was telling us about these mission trips to places like Egypt, places in Asia where it can be dangerous for Christians, ect. and how they plan to Go in the future.
While he was telling us about this, that same joy and hope overwhelmed my heart and I think I will ask to go with them.
God's timing is TIMELESS! I have listened to this message for the 1st time in late 2017 while it was presented in 2012. I would not have been prepared to receive this message if I would have heard it in 2012. But with the situations God has carried me through & the resulting changes they've developed within me, as of here and now, I AM READY! God, His Word, and His power can reach you at His appointed time for you. Don't be discouraged if you're not in a good place. Cleave to all messages He's sending you now. I am a witness to how they surmount into the greatest changes you never knew where happening within yourself until much, much later. God bless you in your journey for a deep relationship with Him and for endurance through any struggles Satan uses as distractions. Remember that God's timing is TIMELESS!
His council was like Mom’s home cooking, her embrace, while watching Mr. Rodgers-all at the same time. 🙌🏼 Good stuff.
Step 1
Clean heart
Step 2
Surrender will to God
Thank you Charles Stanley I prayed for the answer to this question last night and this video came up VERY first on my feed... AMEN!!!! AMEN yes Lord I would be miserable if I did not walk forward in my calling from God. Thank you. hugs Brother, you are amazing. God bless you.
I know now God exist; however. I am longing for his voice or presence. I enjoyed this sermon.
Lilith Boyce-Forde if you read the Bible you will be able to listen to Him. You don’t need to hear a voice literally. God gave us the Bible so we can understand what is required of us. ❤️ He died for all sinners, now is on us to decide whether to follow Him or not. May God bless you. Seek Him, and you will find him.
I agree, the Bible is where you will hear most from God. But also through your sufferings and hardships. He speaks loudly then! I'm writing a book all about my trials and tribulations, because God always gave me hope through his word, prayer, other believers and sermons, that spoke to me in my pain and gave me direction when I needed it most. Just pray and ask the Holy Spirit to give you insight to God's voice before reading the Bible. God bless! 🤗
God Bless Dr. Stanley. Thank you for his insights.
'Yes', I do want to know my calling and servtitude in and for God. 'Thank You' for this video.
Never seen this one before. I enjoyed it.
Most of my life my faith has been like a raging sea totally consuming me and then me falling away. He was with me all throughout my childhood and in my twenties He gave me poems. I am 68 now and have recently returned with prayers for the Holy Spirit to indwell me and show me the way to go. I believe He has brought me back to the work He did through me in the poems he has given me throughout my life and in April I started sharing them and the studies from that time also. I feel He is still working in my life everyday and I am just trying to stay close to Him. Please pray for me and for the poems to be fruitful for His glory ! Thank God for His work through you Dr. Charles Stanley!
I was just talking earlier today about my gift and calling!!! Thank you Doctor Stanley. I want to go to school and I don't have a job and have no way whatsoever to pay for any classes but this just confirms what I was saying earlier God Will Make A Way
This is such a valuable sermon. God bless brother Charles, and thanks for the upload. 👍❤️🌈✝️👑🐑💥
Dr. Stanley was so wise.
That is Amazing to know Gods will at the age of 12. This man is such a strong obedient man of God who we should use as an example for ourselves. I went in the wrong direction in my life and it ended very very badly. We MUST ALWAYS surrender our own will and do as He tells us and as He leads us. I cannot warn enough through my own experience. My Lord, my Saviour is so incredibly Almightily merciful and has given me another chance to follow and serve Him and I will NEVER turn away from Him again. What a magnificent God we serve. Hallelujah 😊✝️🙌💕
hi can u elaborate further if u don’t mind?
I really needed to hear this today. I’m 61 and still don’t know my purpose
I have been searching for answers And found it today. Thank you
Thank you Dr. Stanley -- GOD gives us clear direction AS WE MOVE! Thank you for this amazing message.! Now, I am applying your counsel and taking action today! Blessings to you.
Powerful questions & Biblical answers.God bless you.
I can attest to everything Dr. Stanley says in this video. God will direct you in the path you should go if you are willing to follow Him. For example, early on in my life I wanted to be a musician, but God did not allow it. I finally surrendered and said Lord You know my heart; take my desire to be a musician and transfer it to whatever You would have me to do or be. He took my passion for music and channeled it to education. Today, I am a teacher and if you had told me in high school that that would be my calling, I would have laughed you to scorn. Thank you for the truth, Dr. Stanley.
Praying for the Lord to reveal his will for my life in Jesus name Amen
Thank you for these great words! My conflict is Obedience and I see the cloud that it puts in between me and my Lord. I know that once I get my Obedience in check , God will bring clarity to my gifts. Thanks for sharing !
My calling I believe was in nursing. I've been a CNA for 25 years. CNAs reach residents/patients better on personal levels than nurses do. Can easily share God's word with them and also pray with them.
Indeed His calling IS on your life Dr. Stanley. God bless you and protect you always. 🙏☝☺💝
I love Charles Stanley .He speaks the truth
These videos are speaking directly to my heart after recent revelations on what may be my calling. I don't want to age and realize I ignored God's direction for my life. Thank you.
Thank you sir!!! I thank Jesus For You! I pray for your family!!! 🙏#AMEN
good biblical advice, Stanley keeps it simple and real.
Thank you very much pastor Stanley. These videos not only help the person that emails you but also helps us all as many of us share the same struggles and doubts. I want to respond to God's calling for my life and I don't want to waste any moment or opportunity to do his perfect will. God bless you!
Good morning listening to dr. Stanley this morning early about the burning bush it's so wonderful put God first and know that everything is going to be alright I have a son that is very sickand whatever someone said that he went to the hospital and whatever happened but the deal is what I've learned from reading the Bible everyday is that God spoke to me I don't need to be involved anymorewhen I was involved it was unappreciated which is fine but when you come to know the Lord really knowing he just says I'll take care 🙏 and and living on this planet for and have learned how to live peacefully and thank God I am so fortunate I want to thank dr. Stanleyspiritual advisor that gave me the Lord has passed away years ago help me understand the but you can't talk about it all the time because people aren't listening but that's okay my spiritual advisor taught me and she said it to me before she passed away put God first and everything will be in order 🙏❤️🙏 🙏 this beautiful Sunday morning
I'm 70 years of age and I've been through job after job, career after career with dead end results trying to find out what my direction is supposed to be - trying to find out what God has called me to do. Extremely frustrating! I hope this RUclips gives me some direction and wisdom to know when I'm on the correct path. -- On "The Pathway To Victory!"
RUclips won’t give you the answer(s). God will!
I PRAY you get God's will for your life. He says in the Bible in psalm, "Delight yourself in the Lord and He shall direct YOUR PATH" PRAY and Fast and listen to His voice, it might come in still voice in your heart, your Spirit.
Or however He wants to speak to you, He is God after all.
He Loves you and it's never too late as long as you still have b
reath in your lungs😍
All the BEST. GOD BLESS YOU
Can God take our gifts away? I’ve been too much of a perfectionist and feel like my calling has become difficult, I’m miserable. I hope this is still my calling even though I’m struggling with it. Please God. Everyone plz pray for me😭
Please explain if u don’t mind. How do u feel it has become difficult?
GOD IS AWESOME 💯. I LOVE YOU LORD WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL 💯✅😁👍🏻♥️😊☺️

The wisdom and teaching gifts of Dr Charles Stanley and his son, Andy Stanley is a massive benefit to those that listen. I wonder where I would be if I had grown up under the teaching of Charles Stanley.
It's as if this video was just uploaded recently! God's Word doesn't change. Our hearts should. Thank you for this. I'm glad you answered God's call.
thank you so much ps stanley, been struggling the specific calling for 15 years till now, the idea of clean heart, surrendered will and open minded have been issues for me , no wonder i m walking the same mountain again! this time i believe it will not be the same anymore. Praise God !
I remember I watch the sermon you did a long time ago and it was talking about how you wanted to see your ancestors and your beloved in heaven and how you couldn't imagine going to hell and not seeing them and you were choking up and crying I knew that in there that you are a child of God you're wonderful dr. Stanley thank you you inspire me.
Thank you. God continue to bless you

Sooo much WISDOM sir. Godo bless you
Amen God bless Dr. Stanley and his ministry. I've always had a desire and joy in preaching the Word of God. From time to time I would preach and I loved it. Now I'm sure God has called me to preach because just like Dr. Stanley said, God pulls you closer with him and increases your interest in what he has called us to do for his will. Now I have started a club/bible study at my school during 2:25 - 3:15 P.M. afterschool in highschool and more than 10 members are joining. Oh how Acts 2:17 is shortly coming in place!
😭😭😭 Thank you, Pastor Stanley!
Thank you I want to do the will of God,I desire the discipline of preaching.
Amen.Thank You For Sharing this with us on Here.The Truth Spoken Here.No we can never make up for lost time when we have not been obedient to God.We can be Thankful and Grateful that we have a Merciful God that when we Repent and want to be available for Him to use us Wholeheartedly He does make away for us. I am so Forever Grateful To Our Almighty Heavenly Father For His Grace And Mercy And Forgiveness.Amen
