Subject: THE WILL OF GOD!

As I was praying this morning the Lord quickened me by the Spirit to post this message on ***THE WILL OF GOD!*** Recently I preached it in Trussville, Al at THE SHEPHERD'S BIBLEWAY CHURCH. For over 20 years I have sought THE WILL OF GOD FOR MY LIFE. I always thought of THE WILL OF GOD as just concerning the ministry, what church does the Lord want me to go to, what radio station should I preach on, where is God's will for me to preach the Gospel? I sought the will of God earnestly knowing the Scripture says, AND THE WORLD PASSETH AWAY, AND THE LUST THEREOF: *BUT HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF GOD ABIDETH FOR EVER.* (1 John 2:17) And then again "...GIVE DILIGENCE TO MAKE YOUR CALLING AND ELECTION SURE!"... (2 Peter 1:10) With this in mind< I sought earnestly THE WILL OF GOD!
Then as God began to give me this Message on THE WILL OF GOD, my understanding began to be opened that *THERE IS MUCH MORE TO THE WILL OF GOD THAN GOING TO CHURCH, PREACHING, PROPHESYING, MINISTERING THE 9 GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT, GIVING, PAYING TITHES, SINGING, WORSHIPPING, ETC. There is the will of God for our every day living, and that is why Jesus said in Matt. 7:21-23: NOT EVERY ONE THAT SIATH UNTO ME, LORD, LORD, SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN; BUT *HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN. MANY WILL SAY TO ME IN THAT DAY, LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT PROPHESIED IN THY NAME? AND IN THY NAME HAVE CAST OUT DEVILS? AND IN THY NAME DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS? AND *THEN WILL I PROFESS UNTO THEM, I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME YE THAT WORK INIQUITY!* What a sad day that will be for those who found the will of God in the work of the ministry but failed to apply God's Word to their every day living! The Lord has encouraged me that if I will find His Will in my life every day for my every day living then He will place me in my place in the ministry and I will be accepted IN HIM!
Have you ever wondered what is God's will for your life?
Through the scriptures God has let me see that IT IS GOD'S WILL FOR US TO #1: BE YE FOLLOWERS OF GOD AS DEAR CHILDREN #2: WALK IN LOVE AS CHRIST HAS LOVED US #3: BE KIND AND TENDERHEARTED, FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER AS GOD HAS FORGIVEN US FOR CHRSIT'S SAKE. #4: WHICH IS REALLY THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT, LOVE GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART, SOUL, MIND And STRENGTH, AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOUR SELF. #5: SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Matt. 6:33
Notice, God didn't say Seek Him ONLY, seek Him FIRST! Some people get so caught up in Seeking God only, they don't have the time of day for their family or friends or someone in need, but Jesus, said, Mt. 6:40: ...VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, INASMUCH AS YE HAVE DONE IT UNTO ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN, YE HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME.
We will give an account for our every day living and the way we treat people, and if we are unkind and hateful to those we come in contact with on a daily basis, we will be among those who Jesus will say, DEPART FROM YE, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY,I NEVER KNEW YOU! SURELY, IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD AND THERE IS MUCH MORE TO *THE WILL OF GOD!* There is not room here to say all that God has revealed to me, but I pray that what I have said has stirred you to seek for yourself to know THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD IN YOUR EVERY DAY LIVING AS WELL AS THE CALL OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE!
