Questions 163 (COD Page 680)
How do you feel is the best way to find the Lord... How do you–how do you feel is the best way to find the Lord’s will in some important matters?
Now, let...I don’t believe I...Let me see if I can get the continuity to it. “How do you feel is the best way (I see it
should be a comma there, I suppose)...How do you feel is the best way to find the Lord’s will in some important matters?”
183 I tell you, dear friend, the best way to find the will of God in some important matters is prayer. See?
184 Now, let me...Here’s a wonderful little thing here. Ifnyou–if–if you have a matter that’s very important...Now, here’s the way I do it. I take it before the Lord. And it’s always been my strength; I wait upon the Lord and see what He says. And I just let myself neutral to it, don’t take either side, and say, “Now, heavenly Father, it–it can...”
185 Course now, in my case most of the time, if it’s very important, I wait on a vision. But many people, God doesn’t deal with in visions. So therefore, I wouldn’t advise you to do that. See? Because it’s just some people that has visions and some does something else. Where you do something else that I couldn’t do, maybe–in your way of serving the Lord–I do something that you couldn’t do. See? God deals with us different.
186 And so I would if I was in your place and didn’t have visions from before the Lord, I would just wait upon the Lord and say, “Lord, now You show me what’s the decision to make.” And then, way you feel led to do it, then wait just a little bit, then wait a little while longer, and see which way, which side you lean towards, which way the Spirit...Say, “Now, Father, in my heart You know it doesn’t matter; but I–I want to know what You want to do about it.”
187 That’s the way I do about meetings sometime. I feel kind of led to go this way or that way, then I’ll follow that way. That’s the way to do it, ’cause it’s in prayer then; you’re doing the best you can.
188 And I believe this, my friends, as Paul was in the–in the New Testament in days gone by. He was between two straits, which way he should go. And he started on the wrong road, and he got a Macedonian call. And I believe if you are making a decision for God and do it the best that you can, I believe God will correct you and don’t–see that you don’t go wrong. I believe God will do it.
