HIS WILL IS IN THE WORD

John 17:17 ” Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.”
In this prayer, Jesus prayed twice that the Father would keep His disciples from evil.
Then He reveals the way that God will accomplish this – through His Word, the holy scriptures.

*Anyone who desires to live for God, reject the devil, and reject the world’s system, must know God’s Word.

Hosea 4:6 My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me(lack of knowledge). Since you priests refuse to know me,
I refuse to recognize you as my priests. Since you have forgotten the laws of your God, I will forget to bless your children.

We must study the scriptures, for they reveal the will of God for our actions and attitudes.
To be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, we must be filled with God’s Word.

God’s Word is His will! Those who are ignorant of God’s Word will be ignorant of God’s will.

Psalms 119:89 Your eternal word, O LORD, stands firm in heaven.

The starting point for any Christian is understanding God’s will for his life. How can a person obtain such knowledge?

The first step is to desire it-be hungry.

Jeremiah 29:13 says, “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”
*People ask the Lord for knowledge of His will but don’t receive it because they aren’t seeking with ALL THEIR HEART.
*No one who has ever sought the Lord with all his heart has ever been disappointed.

 

The Holy Spirit is the dispenser of God’s wisdom. It is through Him that we know the things God has revealed to us.

*One of the primary ministries of the Holy Spirit is to reveal God’s will to us.

There is no way we can walk worthy of the Lord and please Him if we don’t know His will.

Furthermore, we can’t be fruitful without the knowledge of His will.

God has provided all that we need to be successful and victorious in this life. Believe His Word.

 

I’ve always told myself that I want to do God’s will. But I have, for most times, been clueless about that ‘God’s will’.

1 Thess. 5:18 Be thankful in ALL circumstances, for this is God’s WILL for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
19 Do not stifle the Holy Spirit.

 “Be thankful in ALL circumstances”. Lord, help us to never grow beyond being thankful. Amen
