When people are trying to go into ministry, how do they know that it is God's will or their want? How do they God is leading if situation seems to go wrong? I've been trying to apply for a job so that I can take a ministry training for campus ministry early next year. People only have once in a life time opportunity to become a staff once they graduate. Therefore, I've been looking for a job so that I can save up. I've been looking for a job for like five month now. However,it was hard for me to find a job. If I have financial struggles, does that mean God want me to give up since it might not be beneficial for me? or does that mean God want me to give up secular work and serve him? I have option of self support raising so is it his will for me to do that if finacial answer for a job is being shut down? if the prayer for getting a job is being shut down, what does that mean? Just go into ministry believing in that other people would support? or is God telling me? What is the reality? Would it be better for to go into ministry believing in that other people would support or not do it because financially I am not stable? how does minister deal with financial problem before going into ministry?

A life of ministry is one of service. There are many forms of service and you must be sure in what field you are to work. At this stage you are still close to vocation and therefore not certain which way you should go. This is the time to talk to older and wiser folk and to seek their guidance and advice. It is also the time to live in the world and to interact with humanity so recognising where there is need. Your lead will come when you are ready and you will discover your path. What you are experiencing at this time is your need for trust and the testing of your vocation. Go in peace.

i'm already interior the ministry and have been for many my existence. that is rewording and tiring however the rewords are worth each and every of the tiring day you ought to think of of. For those call to the ministry, pronounced as with the aid of God, it quite is significant with super reword, seldom ever seen. yet for persons who bypass into the ministry, that are actually not pronounced as, look to have extra issues.

Read Proverbs 3:5-6 and if you really want true answers be open to study with a Jehovah Witness. I know you will not regret it. Read Matthew 6:33; Philippians 4:6-7: I Pray you will study.

Depending on what denomination you are in-you may or may not get much support.
My advice is- first get a job. Then , do ministry as time permits.
If you go through seminary, then your denomination can help place you in a church.

I would go and see a psychiatrist dear. He will treat my schizoid delusional mental disorder and I will then be able to go back to a normal life, free from religious superstitions and delusions .
