Do it!
13 Look here, you people who say, "Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit." 14 How do you know what will happen tomorrow? For your life is like the morning fog ?it's here a little while, then it's gone. 15 What you ought to say is, "If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that." 16 Otherwise you will be boasting about your own plans, and all such boasting is evil. 17 Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
When I was reading this Passage in James chapter 4 it really stuck out to me ... and realized how relevant it was.
We (me included) too often get distracted with our own plans, whether it is the fact we are chasing money, or we want a more comfortable life, or we think we aren't able to do what God wants us to do. But the the truth is we haven't got multiple lives to waste as the Hindus believe. We haven't got time to waste, we can't live for ourselves today making money, and say we'll go out on the missionfield later. The key is to be where God wants us to be, to go and do what he wants us to do, to live where he wants us to live ... Not because we have to do what God wants us to do, but we do it because we know he has the best for us. Why live for temporal riches when the riches in heaven are so much greater ... this isn't some idea made up so we would live self-sacrificing lives ... ITS THE TRUTH, so why don't we live it. If we really are following Christ's example we would give it up when God says do it ... we would be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
Its a sin not to do what we know God wants us to do (verse 17)
If God tells you to go GO, if he tells you to stay STAY.
If God is telling you to speak to your neighbour about Christ. If you know God is telling you to give up your job and your unsaved girlfriend and move to Africa as a missionary, then don't be held back. Get rid of the weights that are holding you back (Hebrews 12:1) Run the race.

"He wants you" ;)
Are any of you hungry to know God? Are you unsure about where God wants to take you? Is everything else in your life taking up more space than God? Do you want to be challenged? Then maybe a DTS is for you =)
This school changed my life, it was where the rubber hit the road so to speak, where I stepped out of my comfort zone and God met me in a powerful way. As I surrendered my own wants and desires and saught after what he had for my life, I grew in my relationship with God and my total dependence on Him
There is a DTS Discipleship Training School in ChiangMai, Thailand running from Sept 2005 - Feb 2006. It is a Bilingual School ran in English and Thai.
It is a cross-cultural school with students coming from all over the world.
In the 5.5 months, 3 months are spent in a classroom phase, where different topics are covered such as 'Hearing the Voice of God' 'The character of God' 'Clear Conscience' 'Spiritual Warfare' 'The Father Heart of God' 'Relationships' and others.
There are many opportunities to worship and pray togethor. And to catch a vision and heart for the nations.
The other 2.5 months are spent on outreach around Thailand and other surrounding countires. Its a time to put into practice what is learnt in the lecture phase, to make God known to the nations, and encourage to believers.
If you have some time free, or God has been changing your plans lately, and you really want to Know God more then take some time to pray about doing a DTS (in ChiangMai)
Not everyone is called to do a DTS, but we are all called to "Know God and to make Him Known" which is what a DTS is all about
it changed my life and it might change yours
For more information then check out the website right here
If you are interested in doing a DTS somewhere else,
21 Sept 2005 - 17 Feb 2006 there is a great DTS in Penang see this link
and they along with the one in CM are actually two of the lowest costing DTS's in the world :D
... so take the time to pray about it
