"At first you may not see clearly what God's will is--the serverance of a friendship, the breaking off of a business relationship, or something esle you feel is distinctly God's will for you to do. But never act on the impuse of that feeling. If you do, you will cause difficult situations to arise which will take years to untangle. Wait for God's timing and He will do it without any heartache or disappointment. When it is a question of the providential will of God, wait for God to move."

One point to decide is-will I give up? Will I surrender to Jesus Christ, placing no conditions whatsoever as to how the brokeness will come? I must be broken from my own understanding of myself. When I reach that point, immediately the reality of the supernatural identification with Jesus Christ takes place. And the witness of the Spirit of God is unmistakable--"I have been crucifed with Christ....."

thats all!
