Being Determined
We must be determined to find the Lord's will for our lives. We must seek Him daily in His word to know what His will is.
Exodus 33 v 13a.....Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight........
Acts 22 v 14-15.....Then he said, "The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth. For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard....
1 Thes 5 v 16-17...."Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you....
1 Cor 2 v 9-12....But as it is written; "eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.........
Our Spirit we received from the Lord when we became Christians, helps us to discern what the will of God is in our lives. God gave us His Spirit so that we can know His will. We are able to discern what is right from wrong. We can feel in our Spirit man when we are making right choices or when we are making wrong choices. AMEN!
John 18 v 13-15.....However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears he will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.....
Jesus told His disciples not to fret, because when He leaves to go be with the Father, He will send a helper, the Holy Spirit who will come and dwell within you. This is how we discern the Father's will for us is by listening to the Holy Spirit who lives within us.
Ephe 5 v 13-14....For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.....
God wants us to be of full age, He wants us to be able to discern what is right from wrong, He wants us to know His will, He is not trying to keep it a secret. He has it spelled out in His word, and if we get into His word on a daily basis, then we are growing in our faith and we are becoming adults in His kingdom and no longer babes. We have to exercise our spiritual senses daily. We have to be intuned to what the Holy Spirit is saying to us when we read and hear God's word. Once again, I encourage you to read the word out loud, so that it gets into your hearing. Read it with authority. Read it with faith belieivng every word is TRUTH. Jesus is the WORD, the WORD is TRUTH, therefore JESUS is the TRUTH.
Start each day determined to know the TRUTH, and determined to know the Father's will for you. Start out each day with the WORD.
STAY IN THE WORD!
