How to Know the Will of God Conclusion: Repetition of Personal Crises. Sometimes it seems like we get locked into habit patterns where we repeat the same mistakes over and over again. This is one of the ways God brings to our awareness that we are going in circles. It’s important to review your personal history, not just so you can learn from it, but so you can reflect, study, develop new skills a...

Consequences of Not Waiting for Divine Guidance Loss of His Personal Presence. Though we can never escape from the omnipresence of God, or even the manifest presence of God, we CAN lose the awareness of the Personal Presence of God. This often separates us from an awareness of His manifest and omnipresence. God is present just as much when we aren’t aware, when we don’t sense Him, as when we do, b...

Consequences of Not Waiting for Divine Guidance God uses our need for guidance and direction in our lives as an effective catalyst to draw us into dependence on Him. If we refuse, resist or fail to recognize this drawing, or settle for the guidance without learning how to depend, He uses all strategies at His disposal to bring us back to His lesson plan. Loss of His Personal Presence. Though we ca...

The Need for Divine Guidance God’s goal for us is not for us to be “in His will,” but to be dependent on Him to reveal that will to us and through us on a moment-by-moment basis. God has committed Himself to our care, provision and the meeting of all of our needs. Knowing His committed love for us, we can rest in confidence that what-ever methodology He chooses to use at any given time, the end re...

Divine Guidance – Embracing Guidance 1. Recognize and submit your will to His sovereignty. 2. God wants us to know His will for us according to our spiritual nature. 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. The qualifications for knowing His will and experie...

Divine Guidance – Embracing Guidance 1. Recognize and submit your will to His sovereignty. 2. God wants us to know His will for us according to our spiritual nature. As we become more and more familiar with living according to our true spirit nature, and as that nature becomes free to express itself through the healing of our soul and body, our senses and perceptions are tuned to be able to recogn...

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...

There are two main areas where we can expect to see practical and obvious results of learning to know God: Divine Guidance and Ministry Involvement. The more you depend on Him to meet your needs, the more He will begin to interfere in your personal life for your need for guidance, and provoke your spiritual nature as a giver (ministry). Divine Guidance is the sovereign interference of God in the p...

We are challenged to be devoted to God alone, looking to Him for encouragement, reward, recognition and motivation. The Lord is both your Reward and your Rewarder. Though there will most likely be evidence of God’s work in your life, there is also the likelihood that no one else will ever know all the hard work, the time, attention and sacrifice it takes to know God. The Lord wants to not only enc...

We are challenged to be devoted to God alone, looking to Him for encouragement, reward, recognition and motivation. One way to determine who and what has authority in your life is to identify your source of encouragement and motivation. Just as we recognize God as the sole authority in our lives, we recognize Him also as our sole motivator and encourager. Who (or what) do you go to first? God know...

THE GREATEST CHALLENGE IS THAT KNOWING GOD TAKES TIME AND ATTENTION, AND TO HURRY GOD IS TO FIND FAULT WITH HIM As we grow in patience toward God, we will also grow in patience with ourselves and others, for we begin to see the plan God has for His people is all-encompassing—spirit, soul and body. And to be critical of the visible path is to be critical of the Way. Though we are patient with ourse...

We are challenged to restful, diligent patience with ourselves, others and with God. THE GREATEST CHALLENGE IS THAT KNOWING GOD TAKES TIME AND ATTENTION! Ours is an instant society, in which wars must be fought and won without any inconvenience to or thought from the general population. But knowing and experiencing the truth takes research, diligence, hard work and patience, and most of all it tak...

We are challenged to take risks, make mistakes, be wounded and rejected. Each of us has our own set of fears, though when it comes to God, they generally fit into three categories: fear of punishment (God will make me, or others that I love, pay for my mistakes), fear of failure (disappointing God) and fear of abandonment (God won’t take care of me unless I meet His conditions). Each of these is r...

We are challenged to take risks, make mistakes, be wounded and rejected. Our fears can fit into three categories: fear of punishment (God will make me, or others that I love, pay for my mistakes), fear of failure (disappointing God) and fear of abandonment (God won’t take care of me unless I meet His conditions). Each of these is rooted in the lies that feed the power that the world, the flesh and...

We are challenged to deal with our individual temperament’s strengths and weaknesses. MIND (what we think/believe) God gives us understanding and wisdom despite our temperament, not because of it. WILL (what we choose to do) God calls us to act despite our temperament, not because of it. EMOTIONS (what we feel) The level of our emotions, and their expression to others, depends on our temperament....

We are challenged to deal with our individual temperament’s strengths and weaknesses. MIND (what we think/believe)God gives us understanding and wisdom despite our temperament, not because of it. WILL (what we choose to do) Some of us have no trouble acting swiftly on the direction we hear from God. This needs to be tempered, according to His training. We’ve all heard stories of people who’ve acte...

MIND (what we think/believe) Over time, the strength or weakness of our mind will interfere less and less with the expression of our spiritual nature. A thinking person is no more able to move in the gifts than a less intellectual believer. In fact, it is often the child-like believer who is willing to let the Lord move without having to understand all that He is doing. But the Lord deals with eac...

We are challenged to deal with our individual temperament’s strengths and weaknesses. Remember that God gave you the temperament He wanted you to have—it ain’t broke, and He ain’t gonna fix it! One of our goals as we learn to move in the gifts is to be able to overcome the interference of our soul and recognize as truth what is going on in the spirit realm. MIND (what we think/believe) Over time,...

We are challenged to acknowledge and take responsibility for the inheritance, gifts and authority God has given us. All believers are gifted of God, but not all believers accept or act on that reality. In our physical bodies, whether we were taught that we each have a heart or not doesn’t mean we don’t have a heart, and that it is operating to give us our physical life. But many are educating them...

We are challenged to both recognize and submit to the sovereignty of God over our lives and our training. It is possible to be so focused on the “things” of the Spirit that we neglect our relationship with the Lord. The reason doesn’t matter; not tending to your responsibilities of knowing God face-to-face is denying your heritage and authority. If there is something keeping you from resting and t...
