4 Ways to Know GOD's Will

There are 4 ways to know GOD's Will in your life which was shared to me by our youth pastor.

1.) When there is peace.

2.) When there is growth.

3.) When there is back-up from family and church.

4.) When there is a specific Word from GOD.

However, these are only used as a guide. We should not depend alone on such things. We cannot foresee GOD's plan in our lives. It is still better to rely on HIS Will rather than our will. Sometimes, we proclaim that our will is GOD's Will for us. We want to see it that way because we want it our way. Sometimes, we say it is GOD's Will for us because we're happy with it and it is what we really desire but always, I mean always consider GOD's Will to be done in your life.

I've read a love story in a book from a Christian author. His lovelife was indeed an inspiration in my life. He had to struggle in prayer for his 'desire.' His heart's desire was already taken. She already had a boyfriend when they met. He stated his funny prayer in the book. He said something like, "oh Lord you know that she should be with me and not with that guy. Please make her mine." But I was amazed with the last line that goes, "But, Father, let Your Will be done." Amazingly, GOD answered his prayer. The woman who was working with her former boyfriend was transferred to the Christian guy's office and she finally broke up with her boyfriend and married the prayer warrior. hehehe! GOD will make a way if it is HIS Will.

We ask for something we desire but in every prayer, we should desire what our Father wants for us. As what is written...

Isaiah 55:8-9
8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways My ways,"
declares the LORD.

9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are My ways higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.

We do not know what our future holds so we have no right to boast about it.

Proverbs 27:1
"Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth."

James 4:13-17
Boasting About Tomorrow
Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

Make an impact. Make a difference. Make a ripple. Tip the scale.

MAY GOD GIVE YOU WISDOM AND DISCERNMENT THAT ARE FROM A PURE HEART. A PURE HEART THAT ONLY LONGS FOR GOD'S WILL. GOD BE WITH YOU! GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY!

ALL THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD ALONE!!!

P.U.S.H.

When you feel GOD's love, OVERFLOW!
