Learn how to respond to the prompting of God.

Main message: God gives promises but usually also prompts you to act on them through the Holy Spirit; learning to hear and respond to those promptings is essential to receiving God's promises. Failure to respond often means missing the blessing God intended.

Key points:

• A promise from God often doesn't feel like a promise at first.
• God pairs a promise with a prompting to act; the prompting is the pathway to the promise.
• Responding to the Holy Spirit's promptings is the most crucial skill a believer can develop.
• Hearing and obeying promptings requires courage, discernment, and sometimes stillness to shut out other voices.
• Ignoring promptings (e.g., after a sermon) can cause you to miss the promise or blessing.
