God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Six Steps to Knowing God’s Will:
1. I seek at the beginning to get my heart into such a state that it has no will of its own in regard to a given matter. Nine-tenths of the trouble with people is just here. Nine-tenths of the difficulties are overcome when our hearts are ready to do the Lord’s will, whatever it may be. When one is truly in this state, it is usually but a little way to the knowledge of what His will is.
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 see the will of the Spirit of God through, or in connection with, the Word of God. 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 at all, He will do so according to the Scriptures and 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 aright.
6. Thus, through prayer to God, the study of His Word, and reflection, I come to a deliberate judgment according to the best of my ability and knowledge; and if my mind is thus at peace, and continues so after two or three more petitions, I proceed accordingly. In trivial matters, and in transactions involving more important issues, I have found this method always effective.
We have within us a self that has its poison from Satan – from hell – and yet we cherish and nourish it. What do we not do to please self and nourish self – and we make the devil within us strong… Look at your own life. What are the works of hell? They are chiefly these three: self-will, self-trust, and self-exaltation.
Saute peppers and carrot in a little olive oil until just barely tender.
Add the mushrooms and corn. Saute until nice color. Add the brown sugar,
chili powder, cumin, salt and stir around. Add the vinegar and deglaze the
pan. You may need to add a splash of water depending on how much water is
in the vegetables and how much chili powder you use. Add the drained beans
and heat through. Microwave tortillas for 45 seconds in damp paper towel to
soften. And fill with the cooked mixture and serve with salsa and sour
cream if desired.
Notes: I hope you enjoy this dish I designed a few years ago. The play
between the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar is quite nice.
