“Set Apart For Me…”

Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of Herod the ruler, and Saul. While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus. When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also to assist them.

Acts 13:1-5

Paul and Barnabas were among a number of people getting themselves spiritually ready for whatever God might ask them to do, or wherever He might send them.

Are you preparing for what God might want you to do? When the Spirit says, “Go,” will you be ready?

Keep your tools ready – God will find work for you.
