VICTORY NOT GUARANTEED.
It is ofren said that:

"He who kneels before God can stand before anyone"

First this is a wonderful quote, it is very encouraging and it is generally true. Notice I said it is,, "Generaily", true.

The reason why I said that is because there is a prevailing belief amongst us, especially in the Word of Faith movement, that if we believe in what the scriptures says, be it in the court off law or in the inferno of battle, that God will give us victory then He will surely grant it.

There are two problems with this sort of mindset:

1. We presume that He will grant anything
2. If He grants it, we'll likely commend ourselves for it. It's our performance in believing & repetative prayers which obliged God to grant in our favor.

And so what if we lose? And what if He delivers but not in a timely fashion? Does that mean that God broke His promise(s)? Many have left the faith because they think God failed to keep His promises with regard to getting what they desparately want.

The solution is not blindly believing that God will provide nor disbelieving in God's promises, but to trust that God is sovereign in all things.

Please recall in the book of Daniel when King delivered a legal dicate that whosoever fails to bow down to the statue he has erected at an appointed time. the offender will die in a fiery furnance. Notice when asked by the King why, how Shadrach Meshack, and Abednego responded to him:

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up..
- Daniel 3:16-18

Any Word of Faith or any Charismatic infected with the Word of Faith theology would have left out vs 18, because they were taught John 15:14 out of context.

God will indeed give you, what you ask, but notice what else He said: "...in my name". This does not mean that if you use Jesus' name at every end of the prayer it will happen. It is in relation to God's will.

The best sermon I've heard yet is the following video; Paul Washer is a bit intense, but it's extremely good:

I'll Be Honest "Paul Washer Testifies to How God Always Provides" Youtube.com Jan 19, 2011

The reason why I asked is because certain personalities are naturally gifted to certain jobs than the others. What you've just told me is something Introverts excel at. Extroverts can as well, but introverts prefer working alone or in small groups of people.

Now just as there are different types of Extraverts, there are different types of Introverts. Some introverts can work with data, analysis, and numbers (Vet Tech) while others are hands-on (Painting, Music).

Personalities can include a bit of the other. If you feel rejuvinated or energized by meeting people, you're generally an extrovert, but if large crowds or parties tended to drain you, and you get reenergised by being lone in a quiet environment, then you're generally an Introvert.

The following is one of the best you can take. You can take a quick test and see more accurately what kind of extroverf you are. Answer it as honestly as you can; not in terms of what you should do, but what you most would do most likely.

When you get your result, it will feature the strength and weaknessess of your personality, and the kind of job amd career the given personality type generally excel at.

I suggest you take it multiple times just to be sure. And if you repeatedy get the same result, then that would most firmly establish what you really are.

If you want to do a more thorough test, you can do that, but for that you'll have to pay $130 for it and it includes more questions for better accuracy.

I'll be gone for half a day; if you have questions feel free to ask it.

That is, a skill that you can provide for buyers and consumers that they want. If you're good at teaching for example, people woiuld want that so they would hire you, depending on the subject that you're teaching.

Iff you are a good dancer, and that there are people who wants to see a good dance performance, then they would pay to see a dance performance. But the most successful of teachers and dancers are not just good but one of the best in their chosen profession

Entertainer; now that I think requires definite mastery over it. Have you received any lessons on your type of entertainment whether it is siniging, dancing, illusions, or instrumentals?
[deleted]
1 up, 4y
Not really
0 ups, 4y
It would be a good idea to find the most reputable trainer/coach for your choice of career, if you've decided to go through that avenue.

You could also ask the feedback from your family to your teachers, ones you trust, to tell you what they think. Constructive criticism is a must (there's a difference between criticism and constructive criticism as the latter not only points out error but why it is so, and the solutions to the problem); the more you get, the better.

But should you learn that you cannot be a singer for example, either because you can't hold a high note, or lack vocal range, have a fall-back plan. You're an Entertainer, there should be other jobs in relations to it. From what you've shown me, you've done a masterly job in painting.

And, you've also had in mind, a Vetarinarian Tech. You have a heart for mending animals; that humane passion can drive you though veterinary school, and have a job, as.

I didn't mean to convey that you were; but merely to acknowledge that the telling of it is not easy; and the one thing that is with victims of rape is the shame that they typically feel.

Many felt guilt as to why they did not do more to stop their attacker, and many after the fact feel very dirty and used. They fear the judgment of others, including their own families and friends. The feeling and depth of shame is such that many years would go by until they could no longer stand it.

I was going to point out that the best jobs are the ones you're good at, not just what your passionate about.
