For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” 14 So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.”<br> “There are no ‘if’s’ in God’s world. And no places that are safer than other places. The center of His will is our only safety – let us pray that we may always know it!” ― <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/102203.Corrie_ten_Boom" target="_blank">Corrie ten Boom</a><br> <br> <br> We would need a Series to scratch the surface of God’s will – His Moral Will – His Sovereign Will – His Perfect Will – His Permissive Will<br> <br> <br> We have something that many in the early church, and throughout the centuries, and even today, do not have – GOD’S WORD!<br> <br> <br> I have seen many people pray, fast, and worship, but still be led astray; still walk outside of God’s Will because they neglect the blueprint – the course correction.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> If this reveals who God is and shows us His heart – His will – and His desire for our lives, why do we avoid it?<br> <br> <br> <br> We get an idea and immediately assume that it’s from God.<br> <br> “If you are ignorant of God’s Word, you will always be ignorant of God’s will.” ― “God will never—never—lead you to do something that is contrary to His written Word, the Bible.” ― <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/40328.Billy_Graham" target="_blank">Billy Graham</a><br> Some things that are clearly God’s will for our lives: (Refer to I Timothy 2:4; I Thessalonians 4:3-7; Ephesians 5:17-18; and Matthew 28:19.)<br> <br> <br> to be saved and to worship Him…to be holy and set apart for His glory.<br> <br> <br> ― Charles H. Spurgeon – “It is not great talents God blesses so much as likeness to Jesus.”<br> <br> <br> to be filled continually with the Holy Spirit – humility, brokenness, surrender.<br> <br> <br> C.H. – “You will never glory in God till first of all God has killed your glorying in yourself.”<br> <br> <br> to witness – make disciples – you don’t just drop the bomb, you help clean up the mess.<br> <br>
