God Will Equip Who He has Called

So God called you for a purpose- ministry, helping the homeless, music ministry, missionary, hospice volunteer, helping lead many souls to Christ. You wonder how God can use you? You may not even know how to start and what you can do. Sometimes it is just being there for others-
God has put many ministering angels along your journey in life. Allow me to tell you about one that came into my son's life a week ago:
My oldest son has suffered from depression and alcoholism. He is an alcoholic and attempted to end his life by hanging himself 3 weeks ago. My earthly father felt the promoting of the Holy Spirit to go outside and check on him, find him hanging from the rafters of the garage and lifeless. He cut him down, got the noose from around his next and starting working to revive him and praying over him. He had no pulse and he kept on and finally my son started the gasp and breathe. This was the 4th time God spared his life. My son had relapsed from  30 days in rehab and had been sober for 70 days. He was heavily in the occult and the demons had him strongly. It was spiritual warfare and they wanted him dead and God said no! As he was put into the hospital for involuntary commitment, he was sent to a state hospital and there he got down on his knees and asked Jesus to save him. He knew his life had a purpose and at 26 years old he knew he could not continue the road he was on for it was torment daily and he couldn't sleep due to the demons that tormented him. I could not see him but for an hour a week and each time for visitation, it was required all visitors be there for 2 hours to take a mandatory class prior to the hour visitation. Sadly out of hundreds of patients only 2 visitors came to see a patient, I included. Very sad for it was coming upon Easter and many patients looked out of the windows through the bars to see if anyone would come visit them.
One man I had never met showed up for Easter to visit the son of one of his friends that could not be there and since it was Easter, this man came to visit seine he never met and to minister to him and encourage and lead him down the path to Jesus. This my friends, takes a sacrifice to give your to give up your Easter Day to spend it with someone you don't know but care enough about the persons heart and soul to be there. This man also not only ministered to this young man he came to see but also to my oldest son. That my friends is a servant's heart!
God sends the people we need at the right time to help us. God has placed you here for a purpose. Ask God to help you fulfill your purpose and He will. God is looking for men and women that He can use to reach others.
