How to Know God's Will!
Do you want to know God's will for your life? Here are
four essential steps that will reveal His will for your life.
Step 1: Offer your body as a living sacrifice to God, not
man! As believers, our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit. Stop offering
it up to sinful acts. It's your choice!
Step 2: Stop living according to the world's standards
and principles. Just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean it's
right.
Step 3: Stop conforming (to act in accordance or
harmony; comply) to the world's standard and be transformed (to change in
condition, nature, or character; convert) to the biblical standard.
Step 4: Renew your mind. In other words, change your
thinking!
You need to complete all steps; only then will you know
the will of God for your life.
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and
sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a
living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not
conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Romans 12:1-2 (AMP)
One final observation, if you claim to
have completed all steps and still the will of God has not been revealed to
you, read verse two again in the Message Bible.
"Don't become so well-adjusted to
your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your
attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what
he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you,
always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of
you, develops well-formed maturity in you."
Romans 12:2
Be Blessed!
Bishop Jemmott
