1. I seek to get my heart into such a state that it has no will of its own in a given matter. When we are ready to do the Lord's will—whatever it may be—nine-tenths of the difficulties are overcome.


2. Having done this, I do not leave the result to feeling or simple impression. If I do so, I make myself liable to great delusions.


3. I seek the will of the Spirit of God through, or in connection with, God's Word. The Spirit and the Word must be combined. If I look to the Spirit alone without the Word, I lay myself open to great delusions also. If the Holy Spirit guides us, He will do it according to the Scriptures, never contrary to them.


4. Next I take into account providential circumstances. These often plainly indicate God's will in connection with His Word and Spirit.


5. I ask God in prayer to reveal His will to me.


6. Thus, through prayer, the study of the Word and reflection, I come to a deliberate judgment according to the best of my ability and knowledge. If my mind is thus at peace and continues so after two or three more petitions, I proceed accordingly. I have found this method always effective in trivial or important issues.
 
I especially like the mention of feeling and simple impression leaving an open door for dilusion. This is so very true and not nearly mentioned enough. Very good guide posted here. The heart is deceiving in man. I definitely find the combination of the Holy Spirit and the Word together incredibly useful. These open the door for so many methods for God to reach you. Such as prayer, taking notice of things you might not otherwise have noticed, God speaking to you both through the Holy Spirit filled heart or a still small voice. Even being unbelievably overwhelmed by God's creation when engulfed in it. Just to let you know I very much enjoy your posts but to be fair to others who welcomed me I must move to the next welcomer. I will be back to read the rest of your posts though. Thank you for how much I have already been enriched by you. May God's blessing be upon you my friend. :-)

I Pray that God this post will be a blessing to others and i am glad that it is a blessing to you...
