The more we understand and follow God's REVEALED WILL, the clearer his SPECIFIC WILL becomes and the stronger the SIGNAL of the Holy Spirit within us.

God has chosen to PARTNER WITH US to change the lives of other people.

The more you OBEY GOD'S LEADING, the more clearly you will be able to DISCERN IT in the future.

If you follow God's LEADING, God will lead you out of your COMFORT ZONE.

If you are following God's LEADING then close proximity to NON-CHRISTIANS is required.

If we're following JESUS, we will be a safe place for SEEKERS to come.

As you follow God's REVEALED WILL, the Holy Spirit will specifically lead you into DIVINE APPOINTMENTS to share your faith.
