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.
