How to Know the Will of God Part 3

Divine Guidance – Embracing Guidance

1. Recognize and submit your will to His sovereignty. God’s will for us as individuals is an expression of His purpose for us. By recognizing His sovereignty, we acknowledge that He is the sole authority over our lives. By submitting to that sovereignty, we acknowledge that His purpose alone will bring us the healing, contentment, peace and challenge that gives this life meaning. For each of us He has set aside His own goals to accomplish during our time here on earth: As we allow Him to reveal that purpose, and allow our perceptions of that purpose to die, we join Him in accomplishing our goal of knowing God, experiencing eternal life, now.

2. God wants us to know His will for us according to our spiritual nature. As we become familiar with living according to our true spirit nature, our soul and body, our senses and perceptions are tuned to be able to recognize the fierce simplicity of the purpose of God in this earth, and how we fit into it. God is a present God, the God of “now.” Unlike any other deity in any other religion, our God is alive, living, personal and thoroughly focused and involved in everything that is going on now. As we begin to see from a spirit perspective, the complexity that motivates most earthly activity will fall away, and all we will see is the Way. Be prepared to change your beliefs about what God’s purposes are on this earth, for people in general, and for you in particular. God wants to reveal to you His secrets, but they are not for those who are double-minded, desiring both their own purposes and to know and participate in God’s purposes.

3. God wants us to know the multiple dimensions of His purpose for us now.

4. God uses the hiddenness of His will and our desire to know His will to lead us into dependence upon Him.
