If only large numbers in large groups would be leading for it churches could qualify, but actually they disqualify! Please try to find the straight and narrow path for a Christian with me.
One of the scariest things someone said to me was: "now you have to trust in God and in Christ". Of course that resembles the saving faith (Romans10:9) leading to life eternal (John17:3), but then what?!
"This is life eternal: that they know Thee, the one true God, and Christ Yeshua whom Thou has sent", John17:3
"Confess Christ as Lord and believe with your heart God raised him from the dead and you will be saved", Romans 10:9
First of all I established that faith in 1 Lord Christ Yeshua and in 1 true God YHWH Who is a Spirit (John4:24) by being baptized (leading to Christ alone, Galatians 3:27) and later on received prayer with the laying on of hands (leading to God, Acts19:6, and the receipt of Spiritual Gifts, Acts8:17-18). Without that basis of faith I would be living in structural sin leading to the fruit of sin doing my own will.
Secondly it is important to find out what Gifts you received, which can be difficult. I focused on new, odd abilities or things I suddenly experienced, because that's what the Gifts are all about: new abilities you didn't have before and you cannot fake or establish yourself. It can be about your hands, eyes & vision, thoughts, urges to speak, teach, etcetera. If you noticed something pray for clarity and clarification to God yet with an appeal on the name of Christ Yeshua, John16:23, because God YHWH gave you the Gifts being linked with Him!
Prayer always stays important when you go out and meet other people. As a starter: for protection. So always ask God for protection when you leave your house or when you go on the internet.
"YHWH is my strength and my shield;
in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him", Psalms28:7
But not only ask for protection; also ask for Guidance on your path. Pray for approval and for confirmation:
"Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons here?” And he said, “There remains yet the youngest, but behold, he is keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we will not sit down till he comes here.” And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.”, 1Sam16:11-13
"And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.
Rise and go down and accompany them without hesitation, for I have sent them.”, Acts10:19-20
Yet my experience is God can bring people on your path suddenly and the fact you meet them is on itself a small wonder, a confirmation...
You can put the received Gift(s) to use according to the need at hand, but never for money or other worldly compensations. Always honoring and thanking God and Christ. Always according to His 10 Commandments, the 2 commandments of Christ and never with sexual/unclean intent. And in that way daily you are walking on the straight and narrow yourself too. Being and staying that proactive Christian going out.
When in doubt: pray & ask
When you transgressed: ask forgiveness
When you need help: ask in prayer
Your trust is in God YHWH and in Christ Yeshua so do everything with their help and ask them for it. Connected to them you belong to their working unity! Be vigilant and aware you'll get an answer!
