More Quotes Related to How to Know God’s Will for Your Life 17MR 155 Sister Johnson is not clear in this matter. She has not been right or felt right. God's Spirit has not guided you or her in this matter. You have prayed over it, Brother Albert, but your desire and wish to follow in a certain course has led you to take for light and evidence that which is no light and evidence, and the enemy has wrought here greatly to your disadvantage but to his own great advantage. *** get next paragraph from White Estate *** Again one of the young men mentioned--whose name, I learn, is Zree--came to Brother Whitney much troubled. He knows not what to do. He sees the truth and he sees the cross which he must lift if he accepts it. He can bear, he says, all that he will be called to pass through for the truth's sake--but his parents, who have high hopes of him, and who have sent him at considerable expense to the college! Here comes in the question, Will he forsake all? He sees that the crisis has come. May the Lord give him grace to decide to obey the truth, to forsake all if need be--father, mother, sisters, and brothers-- for the truth's sake. This is a trying point in this young man's experience. May he have strength from above. {17MR 332.3} O if men in exalted positions only knew their weakness and God's strength and sufficiency and fullness, they would pray most earnestly ‘let thy word be my counselor.’ I tell all who have any connection with our institutions, Take counsel with sanctified reason, surrendered wholly to God. Then you will be guided by the Lord. Many of you have kept the truth far away from the citadel of the soul. A man can not continue in sin, and be a Christian. Christ always separates the contrite soul from sin. Men may labor in connection with the work of God as did Noah's carpenters, and yet resist the divine influences. The spirit of God is beckoning heavenward, to imperishable honors. The love of God pervading the soul possesses a re-created power through the Holy Spirit.—1888 Materials p. 1387 (Also in 17MR p. 114)
