Re: Convictions you don't understand..
God deals with people individually. He knows my weaknesses, and may convict me of something that will protect me from falling, but He may not address it to anyone else.
Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
I do not believe that simply because God speaks one thing to one person, He does or must speak it to everyone, or that everyone must abide by what God spoke to one person. What is written in His Word is for everyone; beyond that, we must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Phillipians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
