FJWL_01:244
         (Dad:) The way to be used mightily is not to be doing things in your own strength, but to be tapped into the Spirit!--To be operating by the power of God, the might of God, and the strength of God! The way to be used mightily is to be doing the thing that God Himself wants you to be doing. And the only way you can find that out is by seeking Him, by being yielded to Him, and by really hearing from Him and knowing what is His will.
         The problem with so many is that they get led around by their feelings or the things that they think they should do, and they don't really seek the Lord. They don't listen to the counsel and wisdom of others either. So often their minds are made up as to exactly what they want to do, and it doesn't leave any room for others to help them, or for us on this side to get through. In the end they often learn the lesson, but often at the expense of a lost opportunity, of a bus that's missed.
         How much better it would be if they would seek the Lord, if they would pray with others, if they would know exactly what it is that the Lord wants them to do.--And it's not past finding out! (ML #3027).
