We’re going to *continue* teaching on the *subject* of “*/Knowing the Will of God/*” for another *week or 2*.
*I.
**Last week* we *said* that we *need* to *have a thankful heart*.
*A.
*(*/EPH 5:20/*) Says, “*/Giving thanks always/*.”
*1.
*(*/1 Thessalonians 5:18/*) Says, “*/In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you/*.”
(KJV)
*a.
*We *need* to have that *thankful heart and give thanks even in* the midst of *trouble*.
*b.
**Murmuring and complaining* is going to *bring defeat* in your life.
*i.
*Jesus said in (*/MARK 11:23/*) “*/He shall have whatsoever he saith/*.”
*ii.
**If* you’re *speaking* out the *negative*, *that’s what you’re going to reap*.
*c.
*And *if* you’re *murmuring and complaining*, *you’re not in faith*.
*i.
*It’s *only through faith and patience* that *you inherit the promises*.
(*/HEB 6:12/*)
*2.
/James/* tells us to “*/count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations/*.”
(*/James 1:2/*) (KJV)
*B.
**We* also *went in to the area of submission*.
*1.
*(*/Ephesians 5:21-22/*) Says, “*/Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God/*.
(*/22/*) */Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord/*.”
(KJV)
*a.
*The word “*/Submission/*” is *often missed used*.
*i.
*It *does not mean* that we are to be the *boss over someone else*.
*b.
*In the *Greek* the Word “*/Submit/*” means “*/To yield to one’s admonition or advice/*.”
*i.
**If someone gives* us some *godly advice* or *godly wisdom* it’s good to *take that wisdom*, *but* if it’s *not what God want* for you *or* if it’s *contrary to the Word*, *then don’t act on it*.
*ii.
*But *remain teachable*.
*II.
*In (*/MATT 26:36-42/*) We see the *picture of Jesus praying in the garden*.
*A.
*Jesus said in (*/V39/*), “*/Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me/*.”
*1.
**Jesus* was *referring* *to* the *crucifixion*.
*a.
**Jesus didn’t want to go to the cross*.
It was going to be *hard on the flesh*.
*i.
**There** are** times* that *you* and I *don’t want to do something* that *God wants us to do*.
*b.
*But *Jesus went on to say* to the Father, “*/Not my will, but your will be done/*.”
*Jesus endured the cross*.
*i.
**God wants us to have that same commitment*.
*ii.
**Not my will*, *but His will be done*.
*III.
**1 of the most important things that we need will ever need in finding God’s direction for our lives is to be led by the Spirit*.
*A.
**/John 7:38/* Says, “*/He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water/*.”
(KJV)
*1.
**1* *translation* says, “*/From within/* */him shall flow rivers of living water/*.”
(*/ASV/*)
*a.
**Another translation* says, “*/Out of his heart/* */shall flow rivers of living water/*.”
(*/RSV/*)
*b.
*(*/JOHN 16:13/*) Says that the *HS will guide you into all truth*.
*i.
**Quite often* the *Bible uses the word* “*/Perceive/*” to *describe the leading* of the HS.
*That inward witness*.
*2.
**God* will *show you* His *plan* *for your life by His Spirit*.
*a.
**You will hear His voice in your spirit* *and* you’ll *have* that *inward witness* to his will.
*B.
**Other than the Word of God*, *1 of the greatest ways that God has given to us to find out His will for us is to pray in tongues*.
*1.
**/1 Corinthians 14:14/* Says, “*/For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful/*.”
(KJV)
*a.
**When* you’re *praying* *in* an unknown *tongue* it’s *your* *spirit praying*.
*i.
*Your *spirit* is in *direct communication with God*.
*b.
*This is *so important* *in* us *getting God’s direction*, *As* *your spirit communicates to God* *it receives God’s direction*.
*i.
**Then as we listen to the voice of the spirit* (sometimes that still small voice) *we learn God’s will for our lives*.
*2.
*Turn with me to */1COR 14:2/*
*a.
**As you seek the Lord for guidance and direction*, the *HS will help* *you* *pray out the mysteries of God’s plan for your life as you pray in other tongues*.
*b.
**You can even be praying for the doors to be open and other door to be shut*, and *for His will to be done in your life*.
*IV.
*There are some *things that can **/hinder you from knowing God/** plan for your life of being able to walk in it*.
*A.
**/MARK 11:24-26/*
*1.
/Unforgiveness/* is *going to hinder your prayer life*.
*a.
**It’s going to put an obstacle right in front of you* that is *going to hinder* you *from receiving God’s direction*, and in *praying in His perfect will*.
*B.
*Look at */1PET 3:7/* Paul uses the phrase “*/That your prayers be not hindered/*.”
*1.
*That's in *reference* to the */husbands need to treat their wives/* as “*/Heirs together of the Grace of life/*.”
*/Joint and equal heirs of the kingdom of God/*.
