Selected Scriptures

Today we are going to consider a simple FIVE STEP process for making wise, God-honoring decisions along with the SIX WAYS the Holy Spirit guides/directs the decision-making process.

FIVE STEPS FOR MAKING WISE, GOD-HONORING DECISIONS

1. GET SAVED AND SANCTIFIED (1 Timothy 2:3-4; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Romans 12:1-2)

2. PRAY (Matthew 6:9-10; Proverbs 3:5-6; Philippians 4:6-7; James 1:5)

3. STUDY THE BIBLE (Psalm 40:8; 2 Timothy 2:15)

4. SEEK WISE COUNSEL (Proverbs 11:14; 15:22; 20:18; 24:6)

5. DO WHAT YOU WANT (Psalm 37:4; Ecclesiastes 11:9; 1 Timothy 6:17)


SIX WAYS THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES/DIRECTS THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS

1. He saves and sanctifies us (2 Thessalonians 2:13; Titus 3:5)

2. He prays with us and for us (Romans 8:26; Ephesians 6:18)

3. He illuminates us to understand and apply His Word (1 Corinthians 2:10-16)

4. He uses others to counsel/guide us (Romans 15:14; Galatians 6:1)

5. He confirms what our conscience tells us is the right thing to do (Romans 2:14-15; 8:16)

6. He may orchestrate circumstances to direct us (Acts 16:6-9)

Thank the Holy Spirit for His help in guiding/directing you as you seek to make wise, God-honoring decisions in life. Ask Him to fill you and control you and cause you to be sensitive to how He leads and prompts you by reminding you of promises, warnings, commands, and principles in God’s Word.
