1) Remember that the Lord wants to teach you what it means to hear His voice and help you grow in faith, grace, obedience, and holiness (2 Peter 3:18; Romans 8:29). Don't be surprised when you encounter experiences of difficulty, personal conflict, and even anxiety. All these are training opportunities for the Lord to teach you what it means to depend on Him. 
I listened to "Hell's Best Kept Secret" this week and found it to be very intriguing. If every Christian would get the same fire about exposing 'hell's best kept secret' to those who are lost, I believe this world would be a different place. You can listen to the audio here and I am sure it will bless your life and empower you to witness for Christ.
Even with the phenomenal opportunities we have to spread the gospel
today, much of the world still waits for the good news of Jesus. The
numbers reveal the need: 
In 1985 my wife and I went to the renowned Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, expecting a refreshing Elizabethan respite from life in postmodern America. Instead, we found ourselves transported right back to the seamiest side of Chicago. Actors and actresses wearing skimpy leather-and-chains costumes sidled up to theatergoers in the lobby. There was whispered talk of transvestites, nightclub raids, and drug charges. When the play began, strobe lights and the wail of police sirens filled the hall. The provocative characters who had visited us beforehand were now locked in a cage, writhing obscenely and fondling each other. One woman held the key: the nun Isabella, spotlit in a flowing white dress, the heroine of Shakepeare's play.
