Exodus 28:36 (NLT)
"Next make a medallion of pure gold. Using the techniques of an engraver, inscribe it with these words: Set Apart as Holy to the Lord.
God has an assignment for you that only you can fulfill
1. The anointing-
a. 1 John 2:27 (NLT)27 But you have received the Holy Spirit,* and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit* teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.
b. God has given you the Holy Spirit to lead you and direct you.
c. God takes people and gives them assignments that will bring glory to His name. For you not to want to accept the assignment is to not want to give God glory.
d. The God appointed kings and rulers
i. 2 Chronicles 22:7 (NLT) But God had decided that this visit would be Ahaziah’s downfall. While he was there, Ahaziah went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had appointed to destroy the dynasty of Ahab.

c. The separation is a time when God removes everything that means more to you then He does. There should never be anything more important to you then His will and purpose for your life.

e. We see men like John the Baptist separated.
f. God separated the disciples to take the gospel to the world.
g. The life of Stephen was short but Paul saw his witness true to the Lord.
h. Put off all those things that weigh you down.

b. But the Lord said, "Go and do what I say. For Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to the people of Israel.
c. Why do we pray because God said so
d. Why do we do missions because God said so
e. Why do we do what we do because God said so
f. Your world is to small and you need to step out because there is a whole world out there waiting for you
g. God told Jesus to go into the world and give His life for us and He did.
h. God now wants us to go tell the people of this Good News, will you go or just play games with the holy things of God?

Towards the end of the conflict, he joined the US Navy, eventually becoming ship's writer aboard the Moses H Stuyvesant. His reports on the 1864-65 attacks on Fort Fisher were subsequently published, marking his debut as a reporter.
j. A man or a woman of God is always going forward to go backwards it to backslide.
