Bible Note: I would like to add that we can prove what God's good, acceptable and perfect will is. The Amp version of Romans 12:2 is my favorite And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God KJV Do not conform any longer 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. NIV Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. Amp I looked up the word prove at blueletterbible.org: 1381 dokimazo - prove 10, try 4, approve 3, discern 2, allow 2, like 1, examine 1; 23 1) to test, examine, prove, scrutinise (to see whether a thing is genuine or not), as metals 2) to recognise as genuine after examination, to approve, deem worthy I believe that once you have renewed your mind in a particular area (I say particular area because right now I believe renewing our minds is a lifetime process) then you can 1. prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God 2. ask according to His will When you ask according to His will, He hears you. Since He hears you, you have the petition you asked. 1 John 5:14-15. |
