Bible Question: How does one come to understand what Gods will is for their life. |
Bible Answer: Jesus promised his disciples the coming of the Holy Spirit to be our guide. He will guide us into all truth, and i believe this includes God's specific plans for our lives. But, we must have a constant unbroken fellowship with the Father in order to discern the leading of the Spirit. In my life personally, when I am in God's will, I have peace im my heart because I'm not wrestling with God over a decision. So basically knowing God's will comes from constant prayer, unbroken fellowship, and a discerning spirit to follow the Holy Spirit. Jesus also said in John 10:4 that his sheep know his voice and will follow him. I hope this helps some. |
