Gods Will
- 1. Godās Will
- 6. Are You Confused Too? The quot;will of Godquot; is one of the most confusing phrases in the Christian vocabulary. Sometimes we speak of all things happening according to God's will. Other times we talk about being obedient and doing the will of God. And still other times we talk about ļ¬nding the will of God.The confusion is due to our using the phrase quot;the will of Godquot; in at least three different ways, typiļ¬ed in the previous three sentences.

Editor's Notes
- Faith in Jesus does not guarantee that everything will go our way. Look at Hebrews 11, the chapter sometimes called the faith hall of fame. Consider just the first three heroes mentioned in that chapter. As Bible commentator Bruce Waltke has pointed out, Abel had faith and he died; Enoch had faith and he did not die; Noah had faith and everyone else died! So just having faith doesn't guarantee your life-or the lives of those around you-will be all candy canes and lollipops. Life isn't always fun, and we shouldn't expect it to be. I'm arguing that our eagerness to know God's will is probably less indicative of a heart desperately wanting to obey God and more about our heads spinning with all the choices to be made. Let's not spiritualize our inability to make decisions in the quest to discover God's will.
- I am not suspicious EVERY time someone tells me they’ve “heard” from God, because I believe he still does talk to us. However, I’m not blown away by when people do say that, or immediately bless whatever God “told” you. I will never treat a “special word” from God at a level I treat the sure word of God found in the Bible.
- Don’t presume opportunity is a sign from God..... often its how you handle the option that is a reflection of your relationship WITH God ----- We’ll get to Vision in a minute Gideon - Judges 6:36-40... Don’t test God, or sets goals for God to achieve before you’ll act Random passages taken out of context are dangerous and borderline stupid We all get gut feelings, hunches, or impressions... don’t assume they are from God

- Don’t lie, Don’t murder, etc. Murder this person, Cheat on my wife, God’s will is for us to be sanctified....... pure New Birth -- John 3:16 is nothing without 3:3
- The more familiar you become with providential & the more obedient you become to the moral will of God, the easier it becomes to understand God’s personal will for your life.
