When we are in the midst of a struggle over an issue of this present life, God will often show us what to do by bringing a thought or concept to our mind whereby we can overcome the evil of this present world. Or God might give us a dream.
Regardless, we always overcome through God, by going HIS way in the situation.
2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place.
Consider Joseph:

What do we do? as we continue to live on this present earth.
I go by these instructions which Paul gave to Timothy in the New Testament Bible:
I Timothy 4
13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

We believe we have heard from God and therefore we do that which God has said to do.
Thus our righteousness is by faith and because we have faith, we also have works, for faith without works is dead. James 2
God speaks to us by His Spirit who brings to our minds thoughts. Or God gives us a dream. Or God might give us an instruction by an angel speaking to us, sometimes in the night as we sleep.
By faith, in believing it was God who spoke to us, we follow HIM.
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto HIM that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
The power that works in us is the Holy Spirit of God WHO carries messages to us showing us the will of God in the issues of this present life.
Incredibly miraculous things happen in our lives as we follow the Spirit of God.

The Catholic church calls certain dead people "saints".
But the saints, according to the Bible, are those people who belong to God whether living or dead. They are not appointed as saints by other men but rather they are the ones who are chosen by God and put into the church by God, having the spirit of God.
We, the church, who belong to God are the saints, according to the New Testament Bible.
Paul says:
II Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
The "saints" are the church.

The first church I attended after I was born again was teaching that tongues are of the devil.
I was reading the Bible and came across the following scripture: The apostle Paul said: Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. (I Cor. 14:39)
What do you do when the doctrine being taught at your church differs from that which you read in the Bible?
We have to choose. Do we follow our church or do we follow the Bible? We can't do both.

A woman in our church group was divorced and went to a pastor to see if she could remarry after divorce.
The pastor told her: "My sister divorced and remarried. I don't see anything wrong with that."
A few years ago, the Catholic pope made a televised statement that he didn't see anything wrong about homosexuals.
Neither of these men read the Bible.
So this divorced woman remarried.
A few years later this woman was born again and began reading the Bible. When I met her and she told me this story, she was really angry at that pastor who told her she could remarry. By the scriptures she saw she committed adultery when she remarried.
The vast majority of churches today present a freedom to sin by telling the divorced woman she can remarry after divorce. They ignore what the Bible says and set up another doctrine. They present to their church groups "another Jesus", another word.
There are several scriptures on this subject of divorce/remarriage and they all agree:

In the New Testament Bible in Romans 1:26, God calls homosexual and lesbian acts "vile affections."

At the time we are born again, God gives us HIS Spirit to live in us to teach us all things, to remind us of all Jesus has said to us, to guide us into all truth and to show us things to come. (Jn. 14:26 &16:13)
A mighty power of God lives in us.
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
* God brings thoughts to our minds by HIS Spirit to show us what to do.
* God speaks to us through dreams.
* God sometimes gives us an open vision.
* Angels are still used by God to deliver instructions.
* God gives us special gifts of the Holy Spirit to place us where HE wants us to serve HIM.
God has given the believer every advantage on this earth.
We grow and thrive through God.

Ephesians 3:20 Now unto HIM that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
God gives us the desires of our hearts:
Basically this means, God puts those desires of HIS into our hearts so we will even want to do that thing that is best for us.
Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and HE shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
God works things out for HIS children.
We can have faith that God will not fail us.
It is very helpful if we know how to follow the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is given to every believer and HE brings to our mind instructions to show us the will of God so we can know what to do in the issues pertaining to this present life.
God's yoke is easy and HIS burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30
The primary ways I know when the idea is from God is this: It is easy to do the plan, not overly complex. It is financially feasible.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
In this Podcast, I have presented examples of following God and moving into the plan set by God as we live on this present earth.

Remember: God knows the future.
A famine was coming upon the earth. God made provision for HIS people, in ways we could never imagine.
Elijah, the prophet, was being hunted by wicked Jezebel who vowed to kill Elijah. God provided for Elijah in ways we could never imagine.
Today, God provides for us by HIS Spirit by showing us what to do at this exact point in time. When we follow those thoughts brought to us by God, we move into the way of God for us on this present earth, which I believe is soon to suffer the woes of the great tribulation sent by God to judge the wickedness of this world.
On this Podcast, I speak a great deal about Joseph who was sold into slavery and how God caused Joseph to profit everywhere Joseph was placed.
When we belong to God, God gives us gifts which cause us to prosper in those places where we live. Or God might move us to a new place. But God knows all the future and that which is coming and God makes provision for us, and we learn to trust God and we learn to follow HIM.
