dave:
Honeylamb, greetings...just to let you know Im sittin in the pew next to you :) And thanking the Lord all day long. I reason that when He needs me for something He WILL know where to find me and He WILL instruct me in my purpose. Peace and Love Through Jesus!

No one said anything about living as a hermit Noeleena, we can only live our lives as God presents it to us, and we all have different circumstances.
 
When I sent the post I was thinking about Ray's "can we lose Gods spirit" audio

Peace

Nope. In a sense.........
Scriptures from Ray's 2009 Conference.
These are in the section: Qualifying for Ruler-ship with no Leadership, Money or Talents
Also read the transcript: http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,11521.0.html
1Co 1:26  For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1Co 1:27  But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1Co 1:28  And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
1Co 1:29  That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Here is an excerpt:
You say, ‘how am I going to do all that? I have no education… I don’t have any money… I don’t have any place to entertain people… I don’t have a car to visit the sick, I’m sick myself. I’m old, I just learned these truths a year ago, I was already 75 or 80, what can I do? I’m an old man… I’m an old woman, how am I going to qualify for this, to rule the world… to rule the nations… to judge angels? How am I going to do that, come on.’

Well, how is he (she) going to do that? I’m here to tell you, whether you believe it or not, it’s possible to develop talents, abilities and character without having those qualities and talents inherently within you. They can be developed without natural abilities, without leadership, without education, without money, etc. But they can be developed!

Here’s how and why they can be developed. I don’t care if you’re a paraplegic on your back in bed, if that’s how you live, you can do this. Here’s why. Because of two principles.

1.)  Proverbs 23:7--
(KJV)  For as he (or she) thinks in his (or her) heart, so is he (she):
(ASV)  For as he thinketh within himself, so is he:
(CLV)  For as one who calculates within his soul, so is he;
(Rotherham)  For, just as he hath thought in his own mind, so, he is:

And the second principle is this.
2.)  Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

On those two principles, you can be flat on your back a paraplegic and you can develop character traits, virtues, fruits of the spirit, wisdom and knowledge so that you can rule nations. (Notes) Likewise, one can meditate (think) and what he thinks then becomes what he IS. Not having money, education, talents, or possessions is no excuse for not being able to produce the kind of character and leadership necessary to “have power over the nation.”

It is in SPIRIT that we accomplish the things of the spirit:

No matter what your condition is, you can keep the law of God. Why? Because it is spiritual.  It is in SPIRIT that we accomplish the things of the spirit

Hope this directs you Honeylamb,
Antaiwan

The conference Akira329 mentions in their post is the same conference I was referring to.

I kind of like what Mica 7:9 (Not the verse but the person) says.

As for me, I have fallen flat on my face more then once in wanting to be too ,eager in sharing the good news of the Gospel
 but I am learning to keep my mouth shut.
Jesus said ;"I can do nothing on my own but what I see the Father do",....I guess than it's no use for me to try to do it.
It's wonderful when you feel the leading of the Holy Spirit and you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt when that happens.

Remember Gal. 2:20   It's no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.
It's a real learning experience to know when you are led by the Spirit or when you are acting on your own.
I find that the Lord is always very gentle in letting me know one way or an other.
So coming back to what Mica 7:9 is saying; "He WILL know where to find me and HE WILL instruct me in my purpose".
I like that.
Peace to you.
John.
