What is God’s Will for my life? Discover, Discern, and Do // Asking for a Friend Week 3 of 6

Have you ever wondered about God’s will for your life? Have you
questioned whether you are truly following His path? If you have,
you're not alone.





Sometimes God’s will can feel confusing, abstract, or mysterious,
but Pastor Nick breaks down understanding God’s will into two
parts: The sovereign will of God and the revealed will of
God. 





What is God’s Sovereign Will?





The word Sovereign = Having supreme power or authority. 





We believe God created the entire universe and set plans and laws
of the universe into motion from the very beginning. The fact
that our universe has laws and order are dictated by the one who
created and is large and in charge of all things. 





Sovereign Will = God’s secret plan which controls the outcome of
all matters in the universe. 





What is God’s Revealed will?  





God also reveals Himself personally throughout history and has
made known His will for humankind and for each of us known in
specific, knowable ways. 


   


Deuteronomy 29:29 – “The secret things belong to the Lord our
God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children
forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.”


 


Ephesians 5:17 – “Therefore do not be foolish, but understand
what the Lord’s will is.”


 


How do we figure out God’s Will?


 


Through the Word of God


 


Psalm 119:105 – “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my
path.”


 


2 Timothy 3:16 – “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so
that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good
work.”


 


Romans 12:2 – “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be
able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing
and perfect will.”


 


Through the Spirit of God


 


Psalm 143:10 – “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may
your good Spirit lead me on level ground.


 


John 16:13a – “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will
guide you into all the truth.


 


Through the People of God


 


Proverbs 12:15 – “The way of fools seems right to them, but the
wise listen to advice.”


 


Proverbs 19:20 – “Get all the advice and instruction you can, so
you will be wise the rest of your life.


 


The Will of God will never contradict the Word of God!


 


What do we do once we know God’s Will? 


 


James 1:22 – “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving yourselves.”


 


Acts 20:22-24 – “ And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to
Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know
that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and
hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth
nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the
task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the
good news of God’s grace.”


 


Acts 21:12-14 – “When we heard this, we and the people there
pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul
answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready
not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name
of the Lord Jesus.” 14 When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up
and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”


 


Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways
acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”


 


Timothy 2:4 – “[God] desires all people to be saved and to come
to the knowledge of the truth.”
