I hear leaders say…

“I have been looking, but I haven’t found the right person yet.”

In all honesty would should be said is, “I haven’t heard the right person yet.” I know that sounds strange, but that’s the way it was done all through scripture. The one that stands out is this…’

The Prophet Samuel (You), “looking” for the one God has chosen. But only having the ability to see in the natural, wants to choose a man who looks the part, which would probably have been a “good” choice. But, God said that’s not him, you are “looking” at the wrong thing. You must “listen” to me, because only I can see the heart.

It comes down to this…

1. Surrender the process to God
2. Commit to listening to God to hear Him speak someone’s name
3. Don’t get anxious, wait on God, don’t “look” in the flesh. (I just heard the name of one I have been waiting 3-years for!)
4. When you hear the name, even though it makes no sense trust God
