Andrew Murray emphasizes the significance of prayer and reliance on the Holy Spirit to discern God's will, drawing from the experiences of George Muller. He illustrates how Muller, despite overwhelming challenges, remained assured of God's guidance in his orphan work, demonstrating a childlike trust and a commitment to seeking God's honor above all. Murray encourages believers to approach their decisions with prayerfulness and patience, trusting that God will reveal His will through the Spirit and His Word. The sermon highlights the importance of maintaining a calm heart and a focus on God's glory in the pursuit of His plans.

Watchman Nee emphasizes the necessity of having a flexible spirit to discern and fulfill God's will, asserting that a rigid spirit hinders the movement of the Holy Spirit and leads to spiritual stagnation. He illustrates that just as Philip was guided by the Spirit, believers must remain sensitive and adaptable to God's leading, responding to the needs of others with an open spirit. Nee warns that a closed spirit can prevent the transmission of spiritual truth and that one must maintain a high spiritual standard to avoid descending into failure. He stresses the importance of cooperation between the spirit and the mind, as neglecting this relationship can lead to spiritual weakness and misinterpretation of God's messages. Ultimately, he calls for believers to live at the highest spiritual level they have attained to experience God's power fully.
