The Gideon Principles

The Gideon principles

1. When things go badly that does not mean that God has cast you off.
Things went badly for Jesus and it was a part of God’s plan.Things went badly for Abraham and it was a part of God’s plan. Things will go badly for you, but God has a plan for you.

2. Before you make a commitment clarify
If the will of God is not clear, then 1) live inside God's plan 2) apply the doctrine that you know and 3) use the principles of divine guidance.

Some steps in the process for clarifying God's will.
A. Let God have Control
B. Pray about it.
C. Seek others wiser than you in your field for wisdom
D. Remind yourself of God’s promises
