I am faithfully committed to following God.

1. I will listen to God's prompting.

George Mueller
"Nine-tenths of the difficulties are overcome when our hearts are ready to do the Lord's will, whatever it may be. When one is truly in this state, it is usually but a little way to the knowledge of what His will is."

How to recognize a prompting:
A. Make sure that your prompting agrees with scripture.
B. Make sure it agrees with God’s character and the nature.
C. Make sure it agrees with your conscience.

Dallas Willard
"Of course you could be wrong. God doesn’t intend to make us infallible by his conversational walk with us, but you are usually correct." In other words, don’t minimize, don’t rationalize, don’t compromise."

E. Stanley Jones
“Perhaps the rough distinction is this: the voice of the subconscious argues with you, tries to convince you; but the inner voice of God does not argue, does not try to convince you. It just speaks and it is self-authenticating. It has the feel of the voice of God within it.”

Elizabeth Elliott
"We never know what God has up His sleeve. You never know what might happen; you only know what you have to do now."

1. I will listen to God's prompting.
2. I will obey God's leading.

Oswald Chambers
“Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading.”

1. I will listen to God's prompting.
2. I will obey God's leading.
3. I will experience God's blessing.
