questions: P—is it providential? If God gives a word, it will cohere with his providence. In other words, does God open the door or do we have to knock it down? If I have to pry a door open it is a fairly good hint I am in the flesh. Providence refers to God’s way of governing: His overruling, His going before us, His way of arranging circumstances—the “coincidences.” If it is providential—that is, if a door is open without your having to open it yourself—move on a bit and look for other tests.
