DD - Personal Guidance

God's part (other side of paper)  (sorry I don't have this yet)
Our part - Psalm 37:4,5--Trust-lean not to our reason-acknowledge Him in all our ways - He shall direct our paths---- COMMIT OUR WAY TO HIM.  HE SHALL BRING IT TO PASS.  This is the word of our Lord.

1. Seek First the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.  Dare to let Him rule and reign in His rightful position in our lives and the situation.  Wait - Ask God what you are to do while waiting - ask for the gift of faith ahd knowledge and wisdom.  Let the Holy Spirit brood in this period.  Get to know His Will and how to pray for specifics.  Give over self-ideas.  Matthew 6:33, Jeremiah 33:3, Matthew 22:37-39, Isaiah 41:10, Lamentations 3:26.

2. Desire of our heart.  Believe God has planted His desire in your yielded heart and you will feel the pulse of the heart of God.  Mark 11:22-26, Psalm 37:4,5.  Say words to God.  Pay attention to your emotions because Jesus is the Lord of the way I feel.  Search out the 'desires' of heart and Know the God wants to do this for His obedient children.... versus.... the selfish ambition of the ungodly who desire to have and to kill and to make war - James 4.  The philosophy of the wicked is:  take what you want and pay for it later... Proverbs 1:30, Proverbs 14:14, Psalm 106:15, 9:15-20, Psalm 2, Psalm 81:12, Romans ch. 1, 6:23, Matthew 27:3-6, I Samuel 8.
ASK - when you have God's Peace sign in your heart... i.e. James 1:5 - in faith - not presumption.  Romans 4:3 Anything that God has for me is better than anything I could think of myself... His Will is made known 1st through His Word.

3. Confirmation - Word-First - Do a spiritual dig.. Search out Bible Principles.  Search out Truth, Mercy, God's Glory.  Benefit to self and others.  2 or 3 witnesses.  Deuteronomy 19:15, Matthew 18:16, John 8:17, II Corinthians 13:1.
Listen to God and to others who love you.  'Test all things- hold fast to that which is good.'  I Thessalonians 5:22.  Acts 9:17.  Learn to Hear the Lord.  Expect a specific word from God- Rhema-- Do all of the above - and what God shows you.

4. Circumstances - Time to move - watch and pray - mobilize.  'Open heavens' - Luke 3:21, Mark 1:10,  John 1:51, Deuteronomy 28:12, Malachi 3, Acts 10:11.  'open doors' - Revelation 3:8, partially closed / partially open doors... Isaiah 22:22,  I Peter 1:14,15.   Now - Obedience to God will avert spiritual dangers.... Read the book of Acts and see living guidance... The Word, the people of God, ministry, souls saved, signs and wonders following, opposition, persecution and scattering.  Jonah - God's Word to him... a very convenient alternate plan - an available ship at the right price going the opposite way--- Nehemiah.  The Word, prayer, action... opposition - threats, mocks, false brothers, fear tactics... BUT God caused him to keep holy purposes in his heart... Learn A.T. (assertiveness training) spiritually - to know that you know that you know.....  make plans and expect God to bless Proverbs 16:3,9

5. God's Promise of Daily Guidance - Believe it - accept it.  Get that Word - daily... God will make it come to pass in your life... Thus saith the Lord... Get that promise of  'I Am' when opposition comes... Guidance is a result of walking with the Guide.  Trust / obey / do not fear.  Say yes to God's YES
