In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

Next on In Touch, the School of Obedience.

It's not always easy to obey God, but it's always the wisest thing to do and it's always

the best.

And it's interesting that throughout Scripture God continually reminds us of how important

it is to obey Him.

And over and over and over again, He promises us to bless us if we simply obey it.

So what I'd like to do is to begin by taking you through some scriptures just to give you a little idea of his promises when you and I obey obedient to him

because I want us to learn how to obey God to make that our lifestyle

and not just something that we do once in a while.

And when you and I develop the spirit of obedience

and it becomes a way of life for us,

then what you're going to discover is a lot of pressure is all gone.

Because when you're committed to being obedient to God,

there are a lot of decisions that you've wrestled over,

you won't have to wrestle over anymore,

you just know that's the way of the Lord, that's the will of God, and that's the purpose of God. So I want you to turn, if you will,

to Deuteronomy chapter 28 to begin with, and the title of this message is the School of Obedience.

Turn, if you will, to Deuteronomy 28, and look, if you will, beginning in verse one. And we'll read through several of these verses. Now it shall be

if you will diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments, which I command

you today, the Lord your God will set you on high above all the nations of the earth. And all these blessings

shall come upon you and overtake you if you will obey the Lord your God.
