You are 13. At that age, even Jesus couldn't help. He just lived in Galilee helping his father with carpentry. He was thirty when he turned water into wine. After that, he walked on water.

@sree251 I am 15, not 13 and I don't understand your point. As a child, Jesus was not just helping with carpentry, but he was listening to the teachers in the synagogues and asking questions. “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature." Yes, his miracles and ministries did not start until he was 30 but it was not because he was unable it simply was not in God's time yet. With the authority of God Jesus could do anything and he did.

@Mirabella23 You said: "I am 15, not 13 and I don't understand your point."
My point is that it took Jesus 30 years of listening and asking questions to acquire the wisdom and stature to help others. You are 15, and, therefore, have much listening and asking questions before you can help others. Do you feel it is in God's time for you to start your ministry now?

@sree251 I appreciate your input and I do agree i still have a lot to learn. I will not know all the answers but I believe I can help others with what I do know. I believe the Holy Spirit guides us and all that I do know this far I attribute to him.
I know my calling is to be a pastor, and I don't count answering questions online as starting my ministry. If I can help answer the most basic questions or give advice on how someone can begin their journey with God I think that's ok. Don't forget, even most of the disciples we teenagers when Jesus pursued them. Age doesn't matter what matters is if God is with you.

You still have a lot to learn, you say? What have you learned so far?
Let me share with you what I have learned. There is the learning of knowledge that takes time to acquire. And then there is wisdom that cannot be learned.
Do you agree?
