"In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength"
(Isa. 30:15).
Time is a prime factor in one's assurance of the Father's
leading. Rush and agitation are the prime factors in the Enemy's
leading. God will give us time to watch and make sure; Satan
demands action, right now!
"There is a way to distinguish between the Father's leading and
Satan's 'angel of light' leadings. The Father's promptings never
nag, or worry, or harass. Satan's do just that. If one has a
seeming 'leading' to do something that in itself is good, yet
with the impulse there is a sense of nagging disquiet, and being
driven in a certain direction, that is the Enemy's trademark;
and his false leading is to be immediately recognized and
rejected. The Holy Spirit's leadings come with a sense of peace
and quiet, even if they point in a really difficult direction
which only the grace of the Father can enable one to follow."
-C.G.T.
"Be careful who takes you up into the high mountain! When the
devil takes you into the heights, he always shows you the
kingdoms of this world, and the glory of them; when the Lord
Jesus takes you up, He is always transformed before you."
"It is because our life is hid with Christ in God that it is
beyond the reach of Satan. The Enemy cannot touch our life in
its source, for the Father is its Source and he cannot touch
Him. He cannot touch our life in its channel, for the risen Lord
Jesus is its channel, and he cannot touch Him. He cannot touch
our life in its power, for the Holy Spirit is its power, and he
cannot touch the Spirit. He cannot touch our life in its
duration, for eternity is its duration, and he cannot touch
eternity. The child of God is eternally safe." -J.E.C.
"The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of
righteousness, quietness and assurance forever" (Isa. 32:17).
