With what two wills does each genuine Christian struggle? How have each of these wills impacted your life? What happens if we chose not to know the will of God? How do you discern the will of God? What is necessary in order to know God's will? Can a non-Christian know the will of God? Explain your answer. Does obeying the will of God avoid difficulties and pain? Explain. These and other questions are addressed in this biblical study.

3.  I cannot say "our" if I live only for myself.
 I cannot say "Father" if I do not endeavor
each day to act like His child.
 I cannot say "who art in heaven" if I am
laying up no treasure there.
 I cannot say "hallowed be Thy name" if I
am not striving for holiness.
 I cannot say "Thy kingdom come" if I am
not doing all in my power to hasten that
wonderful event.
 I cannot say "Thy will be done" if I am
disobedient to His Word.

4.  I cannot say "in earth as it is in heaven"
if I'll not serve Him here and now.
 I cannot say "give us this day our daily
bread" if I am dishonest or seeking things
by subterfuge.
 I cannot say "forgive us our debts" if I
harbor a grudge against anyone.
 I cannot say "lead us not into
temptation" if I deliberately place myself
in its path.
 I cannot say "deliver us from evil" if I do
not put on the whole armor of God.

5.  I cannot say "Thine is the kingdom" if I
do not give the King the loyalty due Him
from a faithful subject.
 I cannot attribute to Him "the power" if I
fear what men may do.
 I cannot ascribe to Him "the glory" if I'm
seeking honor only for myself, and I
cannot say "forever" if the horizon of my
life is bounded completely by time.

6. “He who has learned to
pray has learned the
greatest secret of a holy
and happy life.”
William Law
(1686-1761)

7. “He therefore is a devout
man who lives no longer to
his own will, or the way and
spirit of the world, but to
the sole will of God, who
considers God in
everything, who serves
God in everything, who
makes all the parts of his
common life parts of piety
by doing everything in the
name of God.”
William Law
(1686-1761)

11.  SATAN’S WILL
 GOD’S WILL

12. SATAN’S WILL
Isaiah 14:12–14 “How you are fallen from
heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you
are cut down to the ground, you who weakened
the nations! 13 For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God; I will also sit on the
mount of the congregation On the farthest sides
of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights
of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’

13. SATAN'S WILL:
A REFLECTION OF WHO HE IS.
 MURDERER
 LIAR
John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires
of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from
the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because
there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks
from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

14. Satan hates you
because you are made
in God's image and he
has a wicked, miserable
plan for your life.

15. GOD’S WILL
Romans 12:1–2 I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God, that you
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your reasonable
service. 2 And do not be conformed to this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that you may prove what is that
good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

16. GOD’S WILL
Good (agathos) = fulfills its purpose; fitting;
beneficial; excellent
Acceptable (euareston) = pleasing to the
greatest degree; giving
pleasure
Perfect (teleion) = complete, mature, fully-
developed

Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no
darkness at all.
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love
that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love
abides in God, and God in him.

He made you and
sacrificed His Son for
you. He has a
wonderful plan for your
life.
