Move

"Be not hindered. You are being held by nothing more than the usual—the familiar, the humdrum schedule. Break out of it as I direct. Let it not imprison you, for I have much work for you to do in other pastures. MOVE, and I will order your steps as you go and I will give you rich ministry."

God's Calling

"No matter what task He calls you to do, God will use them to help somebody if you do them in the power of the Spirit and for His glory. You may not even know about it! Bt you can trust your Father to see to it that nothing is ever wasted that is done in the will of God and for the love of God."

For The Good of Them That Love God

"Learn to believe Christ better than His strokes; Himself and His promises better than His glooms...'For we know that all things work together for good to them that God', ergo, shipwreck, losses, etc., work together for the good of them that love God: hence I infer, that losses, disappointments, ill tongues, loss of friends, houses, or country, are God's workmen, set on work, to work out good to you, out of everything that befalleth you."

The Will of God

"Discovering the will of God is something like putting a picture puzzle together. God sees the complete picture because He painted it. Nobody has all the pieces of the puzzle, but as we talk and pray and meditate on the Word, each of us fits a piece into the puzzle. Gradually, we start to see the whole picture. Wanting to have our own way is like forcing a puzzle piece into the wrong place. It's dangerous to try to change a picture that God has already planned."

Adjustment

"Sincere belief will bring life adjustment. Adjustments are those things we do to make our lives more in harmony with and more aligned with God's heart and God's will. Adjustments are acts of obedience, and obedience and faith are bound up together. It was faith that caused Noah to obey, and moved him to action. Faith moves us to action. If you trust God, you will obey God. What you do is what you truly believe."

Willing

"He gives us the will wherewith to will, and the power to use it, and the help needed to supplement the power:...but we ourselves must will the truth and for that the Lord is waiting....The work is His, be we must take our willing share. When the blossom breaks forth in us, the more it is ours the more it is His."

God's Will in the Next Ten Minutes

"It is easy to use the phrase 'God's will for my life' as an excuse for inaction or even disobedience. It's much less demanding to think about God's will for your future than it is to ask Him what He wants you to do in the next ten minutes. It's safer to commit to following Him someday instead of this day"
