Major decisions in my life have been made this week that will affect my family, Church, State Convention, and hundreds of wonderful people. The decisions we make will come most easily if we abide in Christ daily, begin each dawn in humble surrender to God, seek to please Him in all our ways, and live our lives out of the overflow of our personal relationship with Jesus.
To assist us in decisions God has given means of guidance.
The Bible. "Do not go beyond what is written" (1 Corinthians 4:6). Obedience is the trademark of a biblical Christian.
Prayer. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete" (John 16:24). Pray over all decisions.
The Holy Spirit. "The Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will" (Romans 8:27). The Holy Spirit will never lead in contradiction to His written Word.
Conscience. "Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God" (1 John 3:21).
Circumstances. God's will is often revealed clearly by the circumstances in which we live. "He determines the times set for them and the exact places where they should live" (Acts 17: 26).
Counsel. "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed" (Proverbs 15:22).
Fasting. Fasting demonstrates a seriousness about your concern to the Lord.
