It is amazing to me that when we feel called by God to do his work the first knee jerk reaction is to try and find consensus among men! Do we really think that God needs our approval before we act on his behalf? When enough men get together for long enough they figure we should go kill people in Iraq. And we should go for wise counsel from such as this! There is no three days grace period like buying a gun before we should follow God, and the urging of the HOLY SPIRIT.
This reminds me of a story, so be afraid. I really like to hunt. And once on a hunting trip I was invaded by a herd of goats. [ more than once actually] I wanted nothing more than for these goats to go away and leave me in peace and quite. I want nothing more than for all of these goats to get up as a unit and go somewhere else, but it never happens like that ! ! ! IT ALWAYS STARTS WITH ONE GOAT, HE GETS UP, STRETCHES, AND STARTS WALKING DOWN THE PATH, AND THEN WE FIND CONSENSUS BECAUSE THEY ALL GET UP AND FOLLOW HIM ! ! ! Even goats know how it works.The point is that if we are urged by the Holy Spirit maybe we should just get up, stretch, and start walking.
