Devotions with Pastor Dick Guilfoil

HOW SHALL I KNOW GOD’S TRUTH?
At the time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.” Matt. 11:25

In spiritual relationship we do not grow step by step;

• We are either there or we are not.
• God does not cleanse us more and more from sin.

When we are in the light, walking in the light,

• We are cleansed from all sin.

It is a question of obedience, and instantly the relationship is perfected.
Turn away for one second out of obedience, and darkness and death are at work at once.
All God's revelations are sealed until they are opened to us by obedience.
You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking.
Immediately when you obey,

• A flash of light comes.

Let God's truth work in you

• By soaking in it,
• Not by worryinginto it.

The only way you can get to know:

• Is to stop trying to find out and by being born again.

Obey God in the thing He shows you, and instantly,

• The next thing is opened up.
• It is not study that does it, but obedience.

The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens and the profoundest truths of God are
yours straight away.
God will never reveal more truth about Himself until you have obeyed what you know already.
Let me say that again
God will never reveal more truth about Himself until you have obeyed what you know already.
