Discovering God’s Will

Strong Desire

  1. God will work through the strong desires of the committed Christian’s life.
  2. “Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4-5

Circumstances

  1. Consider your present circumstances, is God suggesting a certain course of action. Outward circumstances may help you to discern God’s direction. Pray and seek the LORD’s guidance.
  2. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways
    acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

Direct Command of God

  1. Do you sense the Holy Spirit’s conviction in your heart? Has God spoken to you through His Word or circumstances? Romans 8:14
  2. Does God’s Word agree with or support your strong desires? For example: Hebrews 13:17 exhorts believers to obey and submit to those in authority over them.
  3. There is no question that believers are not to date, marry, or enter into business with unbelievers. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

Total Commitment to God

  1. God delights to work in and through the life of the fully committed Christian. This is by far the most
    important requirement of all!
  2. Present yourself to the LORD, and renew your mind through the daily study of His Word Romans 12:1-2
