Ever try to figure things out without a map? Ever try to
succeed without a mentor? We need mentors and guide, the greatest of which is
Jesus. Hear his words and consider these thoughts on listening to him.
“…the Holy
Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have
told you.”
John 14: 26
Jesus said to the
people who believed in him, "You are truly my disciples if you remain
faithful to my teachings. John 8: 31

5. When God is
speaking, there is a sense that everything is under control.

100% truth that can be tested by the Word of God.
