This document discusses several aspects of living according to God's divine will, including being patient, submitting to God, being sanctified, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and understanding that life as a Christian involves sacrifice. It encourages patience with God and others, choosing to humbly submit to God as our loving Father, setting ourselves apart from sin and worldly ways through sanctification, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us, and accepting that we will face persecution for our faith. Personal anecdotes are shared to illustrate struggles and lessons learned around growing in obedience to God's will.

1. God's Divine Will
BY TYLER MURPHY

2. Be Patient
God is patient with us
He wants all to have eternal life
Gods plan is a patient plan
His will is what is best for you and I
Gods slowness is grace.

3. II Peter 3:9
"The lord is not slow to fulfill
his promises as some count
slowness, but is patient toward
you, not wishing that any
should perish, but that all
should reach repentance."

4. Abuse and Personal
If not patient then God will send trials
for you to learn patience
I prayed for God to give me the
patience to handle a personal situation
once and I will never do it again
because it made it worse by another
trial being added on top of another.

5. Submission
 God does not ask us to submit because he is a tyrant, but
because he is a loving Father and knows what's best for us.
 We have the free will to submit to God for the process of
learning in order to grow spiritually.
 This process will continue until the Lord comes again or He
calls us home.
 As born again believers we choose to submit ourselves to God
for the work that the Holy Spirit does to make us more like
Jesus.
 We can not submit to God without humility

6. Ephepsians 6:5
Slaves, obey your earthly
masters with respect and
fear, and with sincerity of
heart, just as you would
obey Christ.

7. Abuse and Personal
Not submitting can hold you back
from growing in the Lord.
After I was saved I changed for a little
but after a few days I went back to my
old ways and never really submitted
and started growing in the Lord until
just a few months ago.

8. Sanctified
Sanctified means to be “set apart.”
Abstain from sexual immorality.
Sanctified means that God has been working in
our lives.
Sanctified means that God loves too much too let
us stay the same.
People who are sanctified are born again and will
be apart of God’s family for eternity .

9. 1 Thessalonians 5:23
Now may the God of peace himself
sanctify you completely, and may
your whole spirit and soul and
body be kept blameless at the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

10. Abuse and Personal
 Being sanctified means to "set apart'' and if we do
not set apart from fleshly way or people then we
can not change our fleshly ways.
 Like I said after I was saved I never changed my
ways so, I lived in sin and never set apart from the
wicked and fleshly ways and never grew in the Lord,
but God always has a way of bringing his sheep
back to him.

11. Filled With The Spirt
 The Holy Spirit is in us at the time of our salvation but we are filled by
Him when we submit to Him.
 Being filled with Holy Spirit can vary in the life of each believer.
 The holy spirit moves in works in our lives in such away it compels or
guides us to do what is right
 Once you are saved the holy spirit will always be with you.
 The holy spirit is the light within us that allows us to fight our fleshly
desires and draws us closer to being the best we can be through the
trinity God the father Jesus the son of God and The holy spirit.

12. John 14:16
And I will ask the Father,
and he will give you
another Helper, to be with
you forever

13. Abuse and Personal
Not sure you can abuse being filled with the
spirit
Before I rededicated my life to Christ I felt
like I had a big truck on my back from all the
trials and pressure I was under. I went to
church one Sunday and got so filled with the
spirit that I could not stop crying and I felt
like that truck was lifted off of my back.

14. Understanding As Christians
As Gods children we have to be willing
to sacrifice and that our lives include
sacrifice.
we will be persecuted, yet it is worth it
because we do not lay up our treasures
on earth
God does not call us to an easy life but
it is the most rewarding life.

15. Ephesians 5:17
Do not be foolish, but
understand what the
Lord's will is.
