Summary of Unit 6

Day 1

• Oh, God, if I ever give You a request and You have more to give me than I am asking, cancel my request.
• Only the Spirit of God knows what God is doing or purposing in my life.
• God will let me know what He is doing in my life when and if I need to know.
• Sometimes God's silences are due to sin.
• Sometimes God is silent as He prepares to bring me into a deeper understanding of Himself.

Day 2

• God used circumstances to reveal to Jesus what He was to do.
• Jesus watched circumstances to know where the Father wanted to involve Him in His work.
• To understand my bad or difficult circumstances, God's perspective is vital.

Day 3

• Never, ever determine the truth of a situation by looking at the circumstances.
• I cannot know the truth of my circumstance until I have heard form God.
• The Holy Spirit takes the Word of God and reveals God's perspective on the circumstance.

Day 4

• In a decision-making time my greatest difficulty may not be choosing between good and bad, but choosing between good and best.
• Two words in the Christian's language cannot go together. No, Lord.
• God works in sequence to accomplish His divine purposes.
• When God gets ready for me to take a new step or direction in His activity, it will be in sequence with what He has already been doing in my life.
• A spiritual marker identifies a time of transition, decision, or direction when I clearly know that God has guided me.

Day 5

• A church is a body. It is the body of Christ!
• Jesus Christ is present as Head of a local church.
• Every member is placed in the body as it pleases God.
• God made us mutually interdependent. We need each other.
• Apart from the body, I cannot fully know God's will for my relationship to the body.
• Every member needs to be listening to what the other members are saying.
• As I function in relationship to the church, I depend on others in the church to help me understand God's will.
