Heart Guide for Lesson 23:
Walking in the Spirit

Guidance is different than obedience.

With obedience it is 'trust Him and do it'  (the command is clear).
With guidance it is 'trust Him and try it'  (a 'hunch' is tentative)

Difficulties with guidance:

Trying to be guided is like trying to be good. If you try too hard, you will foul it up by not trusting. Just as His goodness is already there for you to abide in, so is His guidance! Being overly self-conscious is disastrous in anything especially when graceful execution is required.

Requirements for effective listening:

Willingness to hear and obey

Honesty

Time with Him

Time with Him

Willingness to wait (patience)

Quiet spirit
