Guidance of the Lord

From : Missions Training by www.missionstraining.org

By applying Biblical principles, we learn how to follow God. Henry T. Blackaby, Richard Blackaby, and Claude V. King,  give some of these Biblical Principles:

1. God is always at work around you. 

2. God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal.

3. God invites you to become involved with Him in His work.

4. God speaks by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances and the church to reveal Himself, His purposes and His ways.

5. God’s invitation for you to work with Him always leads you to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action.

6. You must make major adjustments in your life to join God in what He is doing.

7. You come to know God by experience as you obey Him and He accomplishes His work through you. 

It is good to reflect on the seven principles. Principle four says that God speaks by the Holy Spirit. The indwelling Holy Spirit guides each believer.  As indicated in principle seven, we receive guidance when we obey God. As we obey, we seek to become more like Christ. Jesus only did what his father told him to do (John 5:19,20). Christ was perfectly obedient, so he received guidance from the Father in all aspects of his life.
	Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does” ( John 5:19 NIV). God bless you.
