Today’s Frequently Asked Question was: What is the will of God?
Romans 12:1-2
Before you can know God’s will you have to say yes to Jesus. Your choices don’t matter until you give Him Lordship. Once He is Lord, we are to be a living sacrifice.
God puts guard rails in our life to keep us “on the road”:
- Providential Will of God – God gives us freedom in many things but sometimes God says, nope, you’re doing it! (Jonah)
- Moral Will – Us doing what God outlines in Scripture. These things are not natural and culture usually promotes against His word. God says do not conform.
- Personal, specific will – If you are following #1 and 2, 3 usually comes easier. You must be surrendered before you ask…should I marry him? should I take this job?
Ways to know his personal specific will:
- Make sure it doesn’t conflict with God’s word.
- Pray
- Look for open and closed doors
- Consult other people that have God’s best interest
- Must have peace

In light of upcoming job changes, I REALLY needed that list. I was on the right track but just a great reminder.
