Knowing God’s Will

Ten Steps

7. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit

Isaiah 30:20-21

20 Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them.

21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

(Though you go through adversity and affliction, God will talk to you. You will hear a voice behind you as you turn to the right or left.  God will show you, "This is the way, walk ye in it."That still small voice that makes you feel so uncomfortable is the Holy Spirit speaking to you.)

1 Kings 19:11-12

11 The LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.

 (God doesn't speak to you in a earthquake or fire, but in a still small voice.)

8. Humbly wait on the Lord

Revelation 14:12

This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.

 (Those that overcome the beast and his mark have an identifying characteristic of patience. They keep God's commandments (not man's) and they humbly wait for Jesus.)

Psalms 37:4-7

4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:

6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

 (Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.)

Isaiah 49:15-16

15 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!

16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.

 (He cannot forget you, your problems, or struggles! Trust Him! He thinks about you constantly!!!)

Psalms 25:9

He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.

 (He guides the meek.)
