This morning's topic is how to discover God's will for your life. We're going to be looking at Deuteronomy 29:29 and other different passages. And I'm going to be weaving my testimony in and out of this message, not because I think that I'm the golden example of how to discover God's will for your life, but largely because as a young Christian man, I felt like there were, there was a lot of ways I did it wrong. And the Lord brought some mature Christians into my life.
Early enough in my life, I think to save me from some problems and, and I'm very grateful for what the Lord taught me as I matured in Christ. And so I'd like to share some of that with you guys this morning. you guys may remember a couple of weeks ago, Pastor Milton and using one of his illustrations, he used a, a book called God Smuggler by Brother Andrew. Do you guys remember him talking about that book?
I read that book, when I was 14 years old, right after I became a Christian. And after reading that book, I was convinced that God wanted me to be a missionary. And not just any missionary, but I was going to be a missionary to smuggle Bibles into Russia, just like Brother Andrew, and I was convinced that that's what God wanted me to do with my life, and I proceeded. I had no idea what a missionary was other than it's somebody who goes on 007 type adventures.
And smuggles Bibles into dangerous areas and gets to see miracles worked by God. And so, I began to, to go on different summer mission trips. I went to Washington DC one year with Student Venture. I went to Hawaii of all places with Campster State for Christ and worked at McDonald's on Kalikawa Boulevard and then did evangelism in the afternoon, learned Pidgin English like shaka bra and Emanuao and stuff like that, and, and had some wonderful experiences....
