"Wait on God and He will work, but don’t wait in spiritual sulks because you cannot see and inch in front of you! Are we detached enough from our own spiritual hysterics to wait on God? To wait is not to sit with folded hands, but to learn to do what we are told. These are phases of His ways we rarely recognize." By Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, August 1: "Something More About His Ways"
"How Will I Know"
All of God’s revealed truths are sealed until they are opened to us through obedience. You will never open them through philosophy or thinking.
But once you obey, a flash of light comes immediately. Let God’s truth work into you by immersing yourself in it, not by worrying into it…
Even the smallest bit of obedience opens heaven,
And the deepest truths of God immediately become yours. Yet God will never reveal more truth about Himself to you, until you have obeyed what you know already.

"Instantaneous and Insistent Sanctification"
Are we prepared for God to do in us all that He separated us for? And then after His work is done in us, are we prepared to separate ourselves to God even as Jesus did? "For their sakes I sanctify myself." The reason some of us have not entered into the experience of sanctification is that we have not realized the meaning of sanctification from God's standpoint. Sanctification means being made one with Jesus so that the disposition that ruled Him will rule us. Are we prepared for what the cost? It will cost everything that is not of God in us.
Are we prepared to be caught up into the swing of this prayer of the apostle Paul's? Are we prepared to say--"Lord make me holy as You can make a sinner saved by grace"?
Jesus has prayed that we might be one with Him as He is one with the Father. The one and only characteristic of the Holy Spirit in a man is a strong family likeness to Jesus Christ, and freedom from everything that is unlike Him.
Are we prepared to set ourselves apart for the Holy Spirit's ministrations in us?
"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly." 1 Thes 5:23-24
