2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
3So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.
This passage seems to say the ministy of God had three stages of access
1 :~ Be set apart, we must clean our hands of all sin and selfishness.
2:~ They then fasted and prayed, we must go after seeking and finding God so we can go in communion with him.
3 :~ Their "friends" and church leaders gave them their blessing to go, this race is not a normal running race as christians we must be in a(n, at least) 3 legged race.
Is there anything in our lives that their shouldn't be?
Do we activly seek God's face?
Are we surrounding ourselves with the "right" kind of supportive friends?
Are we being the best support and examples we can be to our friends?
