Summary of Unit 5

Day 1

• If I do not know when God is speaking, I am in trouble at the heart of my Christian life!
• God speaks to His people.
• That God spoke to people is far more important than how He spoke.
• When God spoke, it was usually unique to that individual.
• When God spoke, the person was sure it was God.
• When God spoke, the person knew what God said.
• When God spoke, that was the encounter with God.
• If I do not have clear instructions from God in a matter, I will pray and wait. I will not try to bypass the love relationship.

Day 2

• An encounter with the Holy Spirit is an encounter with God.
• I understand spiritual truth because the Holy Spirit is working in my life.
• When I come to the Word of God, the Author Himself is present to instruct me.
• I never discover truth, truth is revealed.

Day 3

• God's revelations are designed to bring me into a love relationship with Him.
• God reveals Himself to increase my faith.
• God reveals His purposes so I will do His work.
• God reveals His ways so I can accomplish His purposes.

Day 4

• God speaks uniquely to individuals, and He can do it in any way He pleases.
• When God speaks to me, I will recognize His voice and follow Him.
• I cannot understand spiritual truth unless the Spirit of God reveals it.
• He is more interested in what I become than what I do.

Day 5

• When the God of the universe tells me something important, I should write it down.
• Truth is a Person.
• Prayer is two-way communication with God.
• Prayer is a relationship, not just a religious activity.
• I need to make sure that my only desire is to know God's will.
