Power Of Knowing God's Will

Key Scripture:  “We do not cease to pray for you.That you may be filled with the knowledge of HIS will in ALL things.”  Colossians 1:9

Power Point:

     The point I’m trying to make here is…. Um…. Oh dear, I forgot.  Let me see-Oh yes.  God says that it’s HIS will for us to KNOW His will. WHAT? 

I thought His will was a big mystery.  I thought we were supposed to muddle around in the dark until there was this huge flash of light from heaven telling us what we’re supposed to do. No?  Then, how do we know what God wants us to do?

     A lot of us live our lives, stumbling around as I did in that first sentence.  We forget the point.  We forget where we’re going and whom we’re going with.  We walk through life, forgetting that God intended us to have an abundant life right from the first moment that we begin to follow Jesus. That was the whole point for Jesus.  He wanted us to have abundance in our lives; abundant grace, abundant love, abundant provision, abundance of everything God has for us. He wanted us to KNOW His Father.  The only way we can live in that place of abundance is to know what His will for us is, and to know Who He longs to be for us. Its learning to allow the Holy Spirit to so connect you to the Father, that every plan and purpose He has for you will be EASY for you to find.

     So what is the will of God for you?  Peace, prosperity, happiness,

deliverance, rescue, general well being. That’s the definition of “salvation”. That’s what Jesus thinks is abundant life and that’s what He died to give you. That's why they call him "Savior".

     Can you see that if what is happening in your life doesn’t line up with those things than its time to take action and begin to resist the devil and draw near to that perfect will of God?

     I’ve heard people say many times that when a traumatic illness or issue comes in their lives it must be God just teaching them to do better. According to everything I read about God’s nature, and about His will, having our health stolen from us does not begin to line up with His will.  If the only thing you understood about God was the definition of “salvation”, you should be able to see when it is NOT God’s will. Then you can fight back against the enemy with one arm behind your back and one hand firmly in God’s hand.  

You can be quite sure that God is on your side. 

You can be quite sure that His plans are full of goodness and hope.

You can be quite sure that He wants you to be filled to the brim with wisdom, power, and the knowledge of His will.

You can be quite sure that He loves you, that He always desires to be kind to you and that His will is always good, acceptable and perfect.

     Are you getting the picture?  If, like me, in the opening sentence, you've become a little confused and you’ve forgotten the whole point of salvation, maybe its time to reconnect and resurrect your benefit package and move into the knowledge of His will in every place; because you know Him, you can know that all you need to do is look for the good, acceptable, and perfect thing, right in front of your nose. And then fight for it.  That’s the whole point.

Power Thought:

The whole point is that God knows the point and He’ll point you in the right direction so you can know it too.
