God is like a coach and your the player, if you are the star player and get hurt, but can still play. He will use you but not the way he wants to.
God doesn't want you hurt, but in His sovergnty he will still use it.
God's will.
Its not a mystery.
Does God want everyone saved?
Does He want a personaly relationship?
Does He want His children to goto church?
Does He want you to pray and bless people?
Does He want you delivered from sin, sickness, and impure thoughts?
Are you a puppet?
There are many things in the bible that are black and white, but sometimes its the wrong time. Like does a born again do prophecy the same day they are saved?
Perhaps God wants you to goto another place.
Things that are not black and white, are things that you wonder and ask Him, if it is His will or not.
Do you ask God "Is this sin ok with you?"
If someone is weak, sick, or needs prayer in some way do you say "God should I pray and or help this person?"
If you are young in Christ then you have alot to learn, and doing the gifts of the spirit might not be in God's will for you at that time. God's will would be for you to learn, about alot of things (prayer, worship, fellowship, being set free, gifts) But you can only learn so much at once, and He knows where you are, and the plan for your life, it is you that chooses to follow or not.
