God's Will

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

Romans 12:2 "Do not conform yourselves to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your minds, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect."

The will of God is what He wills for His children, but it is not forced. What our heavenly Father wants for us is Himself, His plan and His provision, but only at our instigation. God’s will is a choice. When we are willing, He is more than willing to show us the next step of faith. A little walk with Jesus unveils His vast love for us.

When we choose the will of God, we choose to follow God no matter what. It is a capitulation to Christ and Christ alone. Belief is what brings discernment into focus.

Faith is confidence in Christ; a total trust in His character and His claim to be God. Once you settle this, submit your will to the Lord’s will. Your choice to do God’s will does not guarantee instant revelation, but it does mean you move forward under the Spirit’s guidance. Follow by faith, even if you don’t feel a spiritual sensation. Choose God’s will and He will affirm His truth in your heart.
