Messages with tag - Divine guidance100 - Three Battles of Self-Destruction [B]Tuesday, May 09, 2023by Robert DeanPassage: Judges 20:12-48Series: Judges (2021)Duration: 1 hr 9 mins 49 secsWhy did the Israelites lose the first two battles with the tribe of Benjamin when they had gone to God for guidance? Listen to this lesson to learn that they were wanting God to approve their own plans rather than wanting to do things God’s way. Learn that we have to come to God on His terms. See how they did things differently when they sought God about the third battle and hear what God promised them. Recognize the parallels with our own nation today as most are turning their back on God and His ways.

God no longer gives special revelation and examples of our set of circumstances may not be in Scripture. Learn the different categories of God’s will with illustrations from Scripture. Peace in this verse is the vertical peace of reconciliation which brings the horizontal peace within the Body of Christ. The real question in every life is, “How can I best serve God with my life?” With that focus, prayer and trust, the will of God is no longer a guessing game.
