Examples given of God doing this
with various Christians. Patterns of how God speaks to us today by HIS
Word. Faith in that which God says to us.
From the Old Testament: an example of following God by doing what God says.
God
calls Joshua to lead the children of Israel after the death of Moses,
and how to accomplish the will of God for our lives. These things apply
to that which God has told us to do today.
When God tells you to do something today, the pattern which will show you what to do and how to have good success.
Philippians 4:13 The apostle Paul says: I can do all things through Christ (the Word given me by God in the issue of this life) which strengtheneth me.

Pam Padgett,
a member of the body of Christ, saw a word from Old Testament which
showed her to take early retirement because her job was destruction to
her.
Micah 2:10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
What would she do with all that time ?
Pam retired in February, 2012, at age of approximately 56.
God gave me a dream to start a blog in March, 2012. I called Pam to see if she could set it up and run it for the ministry. (Then we learned that Pam has spiritual gift of "helps".)
I Corinthians 12:28
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God
hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets,
thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
Everything
turned out very well for her after early retirement. She has been
working with us since she retired. Now she has set up and maintains blog, our books with Amazon, and since 2020 Podcasts, and now the addition of the Classical Music Podcast.
Recently we had to get another church person to help Pam with all the work she has had to do.

On this Podcast, I present how God leads us, often with Old Testament scripture.
Joshua 1 (God taught Joshua how to do the work to replace Moses in the job of leading the Children into the promised land.)
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
(The
assignment given Joshua differs from our assignment but the method of
doing the assignment still applies to the New Testament church today.)
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

(The
"book of the law" for us is the New Testament Bible which contains laws
of God for the New Covenant church. Also many promises of God apply to
the New Testament church today.)
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
