How do you know...

Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness..."

When the church asks you to do something, not just something, but somethings...and you realized it can be a tool that keeps you away from your search for Jesus, how do you know who's asking you? Do you wait for peace? What if the peace came with the decision to NOT undertake, for instance, an evangelistic series? Is it wrong to take time off from the church? Especially if the nurturing you find is not from there? But you anyway, seek to nurture those in need, but are not necessarily connected with the church...And what of the people who "warn gently" that to refuse the Holy Spirit will be to regret it much later because we are not "diligently labouring"? Is guilt imposed there? I thought we were supposed to be reservoirs, not canals, out of the abundance of Christ's riches we are to share our wealth. What if you are not yet wealthy and are running on empty? What if you are to take care of your heart...for out of it are wellsprings of life...

Anyone feel free to post...it will be appreciated.
