Do you know your life purpose and calling? The apostle Paul speaks about this in his letter to the church at Ephesus:
“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk
Ephesians 4:1-3
worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all
lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
One of the most important things we can do is to help people identify our Lord’s calling upon their life. We can do this by asking them great questions.
This is continuing the series on how great questions can spark deeper conversations, because they are windows into the soul. The key is to know that any question should be followed by listening – really listening, and responding accordingly. We may only use a few of these questions in one setting, but they should be helpful as we seek to converse and witness to others. And always remember – we may just be planting spiritual seeds, but everyone has a story and
needs the Lord.

Are you fulfilling His calling upon your life? If not, what is holding you back? SO WHAT?
Is it burdens you are carrying that you haven’t given over to the Lord? Is it unconfessed sin or an unwillingness to forgive another?
What are you holding on to from your past that you need to let go of so you can be spiritually clean and free to live life in the Spirit?

How do you perceive other people? As possible friends? Lost souls? Potential brothers or sisters in the Lord?
