Westside Care Center Tuesday, January 16, 2006 Prayer Principle 3A: Submission: Worthy Walk Mr. C. Pat Lanyon Review: The time before last, we considered passages that reveal three aspects of obeying God’s will that were described as the process of determination, or the resolve to continue to advance toward and to actually do (performance of) the will of God. We observed that it often happens that we encounter doubts and resistance to continue doing God’s will when we are aware of what it is. We first noted that we can ask God for ‘wisdom’ as He reveals something He wants done, and that our responsibility is to refuse to doubt or ‘waver’ when it is clear what God wants done. By asking without doubting we were assured that God would not only answer, but that He would give a ‘liberal’ dose of the wisdom we need to complete His will. Secondly, we noted that it would also require a human ‘resolve’ or a ‘pressing on’ toward doing God’s will. This also requires the negative aspect of forgetting past failure to do God’s will, alongside of the positive ‘resolve’ required to complete it. We realized that as in other principles under this submission heading, these type of prayer requests are of a kind that God is willing to answer, and so making a persistence in praying them brings God’s supernatural power into play. Third, we considered ‘performance’ which boiled down to two concepts. 1) Action, and 2) self control – one of the ‘fruits’ of the Holy Spirit enabled by Him, but fully dependent on our human cooperation in yielding to His wishes. Now we consider a second major part of knowing God’s will: Walking in it! Introduction: (3A.
