How Do I Know if God is Calling Me?

Across the years, I’ve served in churches, Bible colleges, and communities of faith on almost every continent. In every culture and setting, the same question rises again and again in people’s hearts:

“How do I truly know what God has called me to do — and how do I live it with confidence and alignment?”

That question has never left me.

It has shaped my teaching, my leadership, and ultimately, this lifelong reflection is now gathered under one banner:

It’s My Call.

For more than forty years, I’ve been listening to that question — in others and in myself.

I’ve watched it surface in moments of faith and fatigue, in seasons of transition, and in quiet prayers whispered by people who want to live in step with God.

It’s the question beneath every other question:

“Am I walking in what He has truly called me to do?”

The Ongoing Journey of Calling

Calling isn’t a single event — it’s a journey of becoming.

Sometimes it begins with a whisper of direction; other times with a restlessness that won’t go away.

But in every case, calling unfolds through the ordinary moments of life — through learning, leading, serving, and listening.

For me, those moments have come in classrooms and congregations, in leadership meetings and quiet moments of reflection.

There have been seasons of clarity, and seasons when I could see only the next small step.

Each time, God has drawn me back to the same truth:

Calling is less about what we do for God and more about who we are becoming in Him.

That’s why It’s My Call exists — not to define a task, but to discover a way of living that stays aligned with God’s heart through every season.

A Lifelong Conversation

The longer I’ve walked with God, the more I’ve realised that His call rarely arrives with an angelic appearance or a burning bush.

It comes through conversation — through Scripture, through community, and through the gentle work of the Spirit over time.

In that sense, calling is both deeply personal and universally shared.

Each of us has a unique contribution, yet all of us are drawn into the same divine story — a story of grace, growth, and alignment.

I’ve spent my life seeking those patterns:

• how people discern the Directional Call that leads them forward,
• how they grow through the Heart, Abilities, and Anointing that shape their ministry, and
• how, in time, everything converges in what I call the Jesus Quarter — the place of complete alignment and fruitfulness.

The Story Continues in You

Every calling begins in mystery.

It often starts as a quiet stirring — a sense that there must be something more — and then slowly takes shape as we learn to trust the One who calls.

All of our stories continue to unfold.

Yours might just be beginning, or you might be in a season of rediscovery —listening again for the voice that once stirred your heart.

Wherever you are, the same truth remains: God is calling you.

He still speaks in Scripture, through community, and within the desires He’s placed in your heart.

He shapes you through the work of your hands, the message you carry, and the faith you hold when things don’t yet make sense.

And as you follow that voice, step by step, something extraordinary happens — your life begins to align with His.

That’s where calling becomes more than direction.

• It becomes intimacy.
• It becomes worship.
• It becomes life.

The same God who has guided me through every season is guiding you too — patiently, faithfully, and always toward fruitfulness.

Your story is still being written.

And somewhere along the way, you’ll find yourself realising what I have come to know:

This is it.

It’s My Call.
