SEVEN STEPS TO FINDING GOD'S WILL |
I. What you are desiring to do must be scriptural. ~ Luke 11:28 "...blessed are they that hear the Word of God, and keep it." II. Only seek advice from other christians (and God, of course). ~ Psalm 1:1 "Blessed is the man that walketh NOT in the counsel of the ungodly." III. Get more than one Godly opinion. ~ Proverbs 11:14 "...in the multitude of counselors, there is safety." IV. When you have doubts about doing something, don't do it. Wait and see what God wants you to do. ~ Psalm 33:20 "Our soul waitheth for the Lord..." V. If you have confusion in your mind and heart after you have stepped into a situation, you are doing the wrong thing. God doesn't lead you in one direction, only to change His mind later. ~ I Cor. 14:33 "For God is not the author of confusion." VI. God has placed in every chrisian a spiritual barometer (the Holy Spirit) who registers peace when you are walking in God's will and unrest when you are out of it. Tune into this barometer and become sensitive to Him, always responding appropriately to His urgings. If you continue to follow your own way, He will stop urging. Follow Peace! ~ Psalm 34:14 ..."seek peace and pursue it." VII. God uses other people to confirm what He has already made know to your heart. Note the word 'confirm', the Lord speaks to YOU, first. If you are listening, you will hear Him. Then, He confirms it by a word from some other Godly person. Listen to His voice. ~ I Cor. 10:15 "I speak as unto wise men; judge ye what I say." |
