Unit: [Home] [previous] [1] 2 [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [next]

Summary of Unit 2

Day 1

• To know and do the will of God, I must deny self and return to a God-centered life.
• I must reorient my life to God.
• I must focus my life on God's purposes not my own plans.
• I must seek to see from God's perspective rather than from my own distorted human perspective.
• I must wait until God shows me what He is about to do through me.
• I will watch to see what God is doing around me and join Him.

Day 2

• Do things God's way.
• God will accomplish more in six months through a person yielded to Him than we could do in 60 years without Him.
• I am God's servant. I adjust my life to what He is about to do.
• Understanding what God is about to do where I am is more important than telling God what I want to do for Him.

Day 3

• God's revelation of His activity is an invitation for me to adjust my life to Him and join in His work.
• "I seek at the beginning to get my heart into such a state that it has no will of its own in regard to a given matter."
• "I do not leave the result to feeling or simple impression."
• "I seek the Will of the Spirit of God through, or in connection with, the Word of God."

Day 4

• God has not changed. He still speaks to His people.
• If I have trouble hearing God speak, I am in trouble at the very heart of my Christian experience.
• God speaks by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to reveal Himself, His purposes, and His ways.
• Knowing God's voice comes from an intimate love relationship with God.

Day 5

• The moment God speaks to me is the very moment God wants me to respond to Him.
• The moment God speaks to me is God's timing.
• God develops my character to match the assignment He has for me.
• He has a right to interrupt my life. He is Lord. When I accepted Him as Lord, I gave Him the right to help Himself to my life any time He wants.
