Wait on the Holy Spirit
Adjust your life to what He is doing
Do it! 7. Experience God

5. 3. The Truth of Your Circumstance
“You cannot know the truth of your circumstance until you have heard from God.”

7. 5.GOD SPEAKS THROUGH THE CHURCH
“You may say, “Henry you don’t know my church. I can’t depend on them to help me know God’s will.” Be careful. When you say that, you have said more about what you believe about God than what you believe about your church.
