1 | What is God's will for you? | John 1:1 | Burning Bush | 54269 | ||
Brother Tim, Thank you for the Roman passages.Rom 12:2 The best way to know God's will is to be familiar with God's word. We both know without God's word we would be as the world is. Ps.119:6,7,105. Another way to know God's will is through prayer.Col.3:15 Please don't forget that God shows us through godly counselors Pro. 19:20, 20:18,24:6. The key is to be sure that we are subitted to Him and are willing to do whatever He shows us. Finally, for people who seemingly are unable to discern God's positive directions, I recommend "negitive" guidance. Say,"Father,I want Your will above all else. Please do not let me miss your plan and purpose for my life." Such surrender has the guarantee of His guidance. Pro. 3:5,6 | ||||||

BB, your suggestions are well appreciated and taken to heart. There is so much there to study I will devote my freetime for days. Rom 12:2 says that God's will is good and acceptable but it does not define, only describe what His will for us is. Further searching led me to Micah 6:8, "He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" So, that is His requirement, but I believe that we have a purpose in life as well. Our purpose here on earth as I understand it, is to exalt the name of Jesus Christ so that through Him our Father God may be glorified. If we are successful in doing this, then we may be granted the privelege of knowing and understanding His will and given the gift of discernment. Or would this be salvation through works? (Eph 2:8,9) Which also brings me to Jer 9:22,23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise [man] glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty [man] glory in his might, let not the rich [man] glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I [am] the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these [things] I delight, saith the LORD. Peace and Blessings, Tim |

Tim, Thanks again my brother. I will be going to be with friends at their church to worship with. We met the pastors( the people we are going to see ) at church camp. Pray for me because God has given me a word for this new church. This is a exciting time in the life of this new ministry. I believe God is going to blow the roof off this new church in the next year. Have you ever looked into the Four Square church? Go to http://www.Foursquare.net or org This has been the best in preaching God's word God's way. May God bless you and protect you from harm. BB | ||||||
