God is interested in developing your character. At times He lets you proceed, but He will never let you go too far without discipline to bring you back. In your relationship with God, He may let you make a wrong decision. Then the Spirit of God causes you to recognize that it is not God's will. He guides you back to the right path.     Topics: Character, Discipline The Christian needs to walk in peace, so no matter what happens they will be able to bear witness to a watching world.     Topics: Christians, Peace, Witnessing What an incredible witness it is to a lost and fearful society when the Christian acts like a child of God, living under the loving sovereignty of the Heavenly Father.     Topics: Christians, Obedience, Witnessing Perhaps you began to question God's love or His wisdom.

You cannot love Him unless you know Him.     Topics: Obedience, God, Trust If you know that God loves you, you should never question a directive from Him. It will always be right and best. When He gives you a directive, you are not just to observe it, discuss it, or debate it. You are to obey it.     Topics: Obedience, Service If you have trouble hearing God speak, you are in trouble at the very heart of your Christian experience.     Topics: Prayer To be loved by God is the highest relationship, the highest achievement, and the highest position in life.     Topics: Relationships, Life, God When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin.
