" ACCEPTING THE WILL OF GOD "

Welcome come on in.

This week we will be talking about the Will Of God. With that being said strap in and let's all be hearers of the Word.

Are you big enough to accept the Will Of God? I mean really big enough to accept.

" WILL " : Desire; Seeking God's Will means looking for what God wants to be done.

What if it isn't what you expected? Or maybe what you thought might take place. We must trust God in all things and in all ways. He knows what we need as He's already promised to meet our needs. How many of us say your Will be done Lord, but do we truly mean what we're saying or are we just spouting what we think others except of us? Listen it's high time that we take the Father at face value, at His word. When we say " Your Will Be Done, " we are not surrendering ourselves to fate, but praying that God's perfect purpose will be accomplished in this world as well as in the next.

Do you remember when Jesus asked that the cup of suffering and separation be taken away? In fact, He reaffirmed His desire to do God's Will by saying, " Yet Not As I Will, But As You Will. " His prayer reveals to us His terrible suffering. His agony was worse than death because He paid for ALL sin by being separated from God. The sinless Son of God took our sins upon Himself to save us from suffering and separation.

Now turning the page, a prayer for guidance is self-centered if it doesn't recognize God's power to redirect our lives. What is your desire? Is it to be taught to do God's Will and not your own? Maybe we should be asking in prayer for the Lord to restructure our priorities awaken our minds and stir our wills. " SO THEN DO NOT BE FOOLISH, BUT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS " (Ephesian 5:17). The emphasis here is on God's Will, not our will. When we communicate with God, we don't demand what we want; rather we discuss with Him what He wants for us. If we align our prayers to his Will, He will listen; and we can be certain that if He listens, He will give us a definite answer.

START PRAYING WITH CONFIDENCE! No matter what the Lord's Will Be Done.

Until Next Time...
