When a range telescopes observe a distant object in space varying light frequencies produce

different views, which can then be combined to produce a single picture. This composite image

offers a view that is far more complete than anything a single telescope could produce on its own:

Using different techniques to ‘detect’ God’s instructions

God will always call you to something for which He has placed inside of you the potential skills,

personality and other necessary attributes. But let’s be honest, hearing from God and trying to

understand where we should direct our careers or shape the direction of our calling can be really

a confusing process.

The Confirmation chart, at the bottom of this page, is designed to pick up the different ways or

‘light frequencies’ that God can speak to us regarding the career that He is calling you to. The

chart will capture a number of factors through which God could be speaking to us – creating a

composite image of what God has planned for you.

Just as using an infra-red image will only show you the red portion of light coming from a distant

galaxy, concentrating solely on one factor to determine your career direction, such as what are

my skills, will give you a similarly limited understanding of what God is calling you could do.

To create a true ‘image’ of your calling, you need to consider a number of factors, which are

found in the Confirmation chart. If you use this it will help you to see or hear more clearly from

God about your next steps.

1) Qualifications

Suggestion: If you don’t have the correct qualifications for the job this could mean a return to

college. Make sure you’re being realistic about your goals and ask yourself if you will be able to

hit the grades!

2) Related experience

Suggestion: Assess what you’ve done in the past. Can you gain relevant experience through a

sideways move at work or by doing voluntary work? Not only will relevant experience help you

into a job but it will also help you to confirm your ability in this area.

3) Known ability

Suggestion: It’s essential that you know what you’re good at doing. If you don’t know, then do an

assessment (hyper link), ask close friends and family, and review your past successes. God will

only call you to something that matches either your present or potential skill set. For example, if

you cannot impart knowledge then teaching is probably not for you!

4) Personality fit

Suggestion: If you’re a square peg, don’t force yourself into a round hole! If you’re a creative

type, you’ll find work in a procedure-bound nuclear power station frustrating!

5) Heart’s desire

Suggestion: You know those deep desires in your heart? Well, they were put there by God.

Spend some quality time getting in touch with these desires, and then pursue them!

6) Prophetic confirmation

Suggestion: Prophetic encouragement is extremely valuable because it will encourage and

confirm your calling. It will never contradict scripture and it will never contradict all the above

factors in your calling.

7) Confirmation from others

Suggestion: The bible recommends that we seek the counsel of others. However, be wise about

who you ask, and make sure they have your best interests at heart. Ask for genuine feedback on

your suitability for a certain career / role, and not platitudes!
