and to jesus be the glory and i mean it with all my heart to jesus be the glory another glorious week i am going to talk to you about something really important because every so often we all want to know lord what is your will lord speak to me i really need to know your voice i want to know your mind on this matter so today i want to talk to you about how do we find how do we find the perfect will of god for our life continually so i'm going to wait till you all come on your sweet people and thank you for joining me today and please make sure to share this with your friends so they'll know that this teaching is available because i really want to help you you know we all need this i'm telling you we all need this wonderful lord jesus i thank you for your word i thank you for the holy spirit who leads and guides us through your word continually to you by the glory the honor the praise and god's dear people said amen and amen i have a lot to talk about so i'm gonna get right into the word i want you to go with me to jeremiah chapter 1 jeremiah chapter 1. and you know again i'm talking about how to find god's perfect will for your life now here's something that we all need to understand man alone of all the gods of all of god's natural creation has been given the power of choice only man has the power of choice and we know from the word that god almighty has a definite plan for our life everyone that is born again god has a plan for your life everyone that is born into this world god has a plan for your life too but you won't find it till you are born again so every one of us really has a plan that god has already ordained for our life and once we are saved we can find it so in jeremiah 1 4 and 5 it says then the word of the lord came to me saying before i formed thee in the belly i knew thee and before thou came as forth out of the womb i sanctified thee and i ordained thee as a prophet unto the nations so god here tells jeremiah that he has a plan for his life and it's been there before he was born and so it is with all of us but god's plan begins at salvation when you and i are saved we begin to find that we we begin to discover it so we do not discover it right away we discover it as we walk with the lord in the spirit so even though it begins at salvation that's when we discover it i should say at salvation even though it's been there before we were born it it's not discovered in a moment but as we walk with the lord in the spirit sensitive to his guidance when we walk in the spirit sensitive to his guidance we will discover his will for our life yet we must be careful of one thing we should not be seeking for approval of what we have already made up our minds to do in other words we should not make the decision and then wait for god to approve it that's not the way you find god's will to find out god's will you have to first begin where you have no will of your own no will of your own so don't make up your mind and say i'm going to do this now lord bless it because god will not bless what you plan he will only bless what he plans so i'm not going to ask god to bless what i am doing i'm going to do what he is blessing say it again i won't ask god to bless what i am doing i will do what god is blessing that's the way to begin so it's not saying lord bless my plan it's to say lord what is your plan what is your plan for my life what is your plan for my job what is your plan for my family and so on and so forth what is your plan for today what is your plan for this week god has a plan for us every single day we live we just need to find it so how well let's go to first thessalonians first thessalonians we we begin with something very important in chapter 5 and verse 18. it says in everything give thanks for this is the will of god in christ jesus concerning you this is the will of god in christ jesus meaning that god's will is in christ jesus you cannot find it outside of the lord you find it in the lord so when you're walking with the lord that will will be revealed in everything give thanks for this is the will of god in christ jesus concerning you so god's perfect will is found only as you come to the lord in prayer through jesus his son so without the lord jesus we cannot find it it's impossible to find god's will if you're outside the lord and it's impossible to know god's will if you're not in the presence of the lord let me say that again it's impossible to find god's will if you're outside the lord and it's impossible to find god's will if you're not in the presence of the lord so you have to be in his presence to hear his voice in romans 12 verse 1 and verse 2 paul writes i beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of god that you present your bodies a living sacrifice wholly acceptable unto god which is your reasonable service and be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that ye may be that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of god so god's will for us number one is always good if it's not good it's not his will now as we discover god's will we have to also understand something very very important the bible says i beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of god that you present you present your bodies a living sacrifice holy acceptable unto god which is your reasonable service so three things you cannot find god's will if you're outside the lord that's in first thessalonians 5 18. you cannot find god's will if you're not in the presence of the lord because we have to be in christ jesus that also includes his presence and number three you cannot discover god's will to till you have surrendered your body to the lord because he says here present your body a living sacrifice wholly acceptable and then he says now be not conformed to this world so when you present your body you will not go into the world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind which is only possible as we are in the presence of the lord and we surrender to him that he may prove what is that good acceptable and perfect will of god so it's a process we discover god's will slowly we go from the good then to the acceptable then to the perfect will of god and so it's a process none of us can discover god's will in one day it's a process the bible says in ephesians chapter 5 and verse 17 and this is a blessed command wherefore be not unwise but understand [Music] what the will of the lord is so we are commanded to know it we're commanded to find it which means it's not beyond our reach we can find it i'm going to show you through this teaching how so god says you must know it but like i just read earlier in romans 12. if if the mind and let's go back to romans again chapter 12 because we have to see this this is really really important here it says be not conformed in verse 2 be not conformed to this world so if if the mind is worldly it's impossible to know it so we're commanded in ephesians 5 17 understand it know it it's not beyond your reach but romans 12 2 says you have to be free from the world be not conformed to this world so if our minds is worldly we cannot find it even though it is ours we still cannot find it only the spiritual mind which is filled with god's word surrendered to the holy spirit can know it this is really quite simple so if the mind is worldly you won't know it be not confirmed in this world be transformed by the renewing of your mind so only a spiritual mind filled with the word surrender to the holy spirit can't really know god's will and you may be facing a massive question today for your life maybe it's business maybe it's marriage maybe it's something to do with your children maybe it's something to do with something to do with your education or maybe a job or maybe a big decision you don't know what to decide i want you now to just pause just pause don't rush and make sure you're doing what the bible says number one ask yours yourself am i living a christian life am i in the lord number two am i in his presence regularly do i seek him regularly number three have i surrendered to him and do i surrender daily number four is my mind worldly if it is let's fix that by getting the word of god in there and number five am i surrendered to the holy spirit what he can guide me now once once all this is you know answered and you know it then you just make sure that god begins to guide you and here's how he does but before i discuss how he does i have got to talk about something really important because sometimes people make quick decisions that is the deadliest thing to do sometimes they make hasty decisions and haste truly is harmful so i'm going to ask you don't be hasty when it comes to making big decisions or even small decisions because all decisions are important all decisions are important so because hasty decisions will end people up in the permissive will of god not the perfect will of god and the permissive will of god uh will will bring harm with it now let's let's look at psalm the psalms psalm 106 and beginning at verse 10 and it says and he saved them from the hand of him that hated them redeem them from the hand of the enemy i'm reading psalm 106 verse 10 through 15. and the waters covered their enemies there was not one one of them left then believed that his words they sang his praise but it says they soon forgot his works they witness for his counsel but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness and tempted god in the in the desert and he gave them their request but sent leanness into their souls they were living in the flesh even though they saw the power of god mightily they still did not surrender to the lord and it says that god gave them their request because they were they were they were they were pushing they they couldn't wait for for god to speak so it says he gave them their request verse 15 but sent leanness into their souls so it shows that it is possible to fall into god's permissive will but at great loss at great loss spiritual loss and other loss you know i i when when i read the story of balaam i was quite intrigued by the fact that in numbers 22 look look at this in numbers 22 verse 12 verse 12 we read and god said to balaam don't go with them don't curse the people because they are blessed later because he was so so persistent he was so greedy for many that he kept asking god the same question making his request over and over and over the same thing happened to him that happened to israel god gave him his request because he just won't wait sometimes god would say okay go ahead and do it and we think okay this is his will uh-uh it's your will it's people's will but god in his love allows people to do what they want but the result is tremendous loss tremendous loss how often i've heard people say well god told me to marry him god told me to bury her and then they end up in divorce and tremendous pain and then they blame god for it at the end and he said well god told you i mean you you said god don't you now suddenly did god not tell you because they rushed into it what happened is they wanted it so bad they wanted it so bad like just just like balaam and israel that god said okay go just just kind of go and do it and god said it to say okay have your way basically it's not my way have you have you no way and they messed up and now it says and god's anger was kindled in verse 22 because he went and the angel of the lord stood in the way foreign for an enemy against him now he was riding on his donkey and his two servants with him the donkey saw the angel of the lord standing in the way and is so drawn in his hand and the donkey turned his head out of the way and so on the angel of the lord in verse 24 it says stood in the path and would not even let him go through but if you keep reading if you keep reading it says that the angel finally said to him something very puzzling to some people so the angel said uh well first why did you you know strike your donkey and so on and so forth and then the angel said in verse 35 go with the man now god had said don't go in the beginning now he's going because he's just so stubborn god now gives him permission through the angel go with them but only the word that i speak to you that speak so that is god's permissive will and god's permissive will is like this if a person is determined to have something that is not good god may permit him or permit her to have their desire with great spiritual loss and sometimes other losses even physical and financial so we have to be careful haste truly is harmful haste is destructive i think someone really needs this message today that you're saying you know what this is me i'm trying to rush this thing look at isaiah 28 verse 16 therefore thus says the lord god behold i lay in zion for a foundation of stone a tried stone a precious cornerstone a sure foundation he that believes he that believes will not make haste he that believes will not make haste if you really believe the lord's word if you are a person of faith you never rush into big decisions or even small decisions you take your time you let god really speak to you and god speaks often in a process god speaks in a process isaiah 52 isaiah 52 because sometimes it takes time for us to hear his voice you know it says in verse 12 you shall know you shall not go out with haste nor go by a flight don't be hasty for the lord will go before you montague hallelujah to your lord god will go before you you'll always know his presence there and the god of israel will be your real reward he'll surround you he'll surround you he'll be in front of you he'll be behind you so god says in his word that he'll be your real god and he'll be your in front of you to protect you so he's protecting you but you've got to wait ye shall not go out with haste nor go by a flight don't rush this thing so what do we do well we have to get the word of god in us we have to really get the mind of god on whatever you're trying to decide hebrews 5 verse 12 says he says for when the time for when for the time you ought to be teachers you have need that one teach you again which is the first principles of the oracles of god and are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat for everyone that uses milk the the reason people don't know god's voice is because they're so weak in the word for everyone that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness for he's a babe strong meat like the word belongs to them that are of a full age even those who by a reason of use see practice use have their senses exorcised to discern both good and evil so if we want to know god's good will for us we have to know the word first don't be hasty and then search the word search the word get to know how god did it in the past with other people get to know what god said about certain things so through spiritual growth in the word we will know god's will through growth but you know what it's also impossible to know god's will if there's sin in someone's life we have to be free from sin psalm 51 verse 8 you know says make me to hear joy and gladness because david had sinned with bathsheba and now he said lord make me to hear joe and glanis that the bones which you've broken may rejoice hide your face from my sin blot out my iniquities so he confessed his sin here and now he was able to hear the voice of god again so confessing sin is so important so important and finally now then i want to continue tomorrow because i'm going to give you you know steps like what to look for okay how god really speaks you're going to see it tomorrow so please don't miss it but but i'm going to say something that i think is so important um when we live that amazing christ-like life dependent upon the lord then it's so easy for god to reveal his will to us but let me say one thing and then i'll continue psalm 23 psalm 23 this is very important very important verse 2. watch this i love this he makes me to lie down in green pastures he leadeth me beside the still waters ah you know beautiful he makes me to lie down what the word is green pastures and then he leads me besides still waters two things you cannot know god's will unless you're in the word and you are still because god guides in stillness not in confusion he guides in stillness be still how is that possible well through the word we can be still and know and know i am god wow so god leads when we are in his word and now we are still and his voice is so clear now i sense in my heart there are a number of you today who are really troubled about a decision you have to make and i want to pray with you right now that god will speak to you that god will really speak to you through his word or through the gifts of the spirit or other things but i'm just going to ask her to really let you know deep in your heart as you do what we just talked about father in the name of jesus lord i i have given them your word as best as i could now lord they're looking for that answer they need to know what is your will on the matter what is your will on the matter let them know it today lord let them hear it in their spirit man in jesus name we don't trust our minds we don't trust other voices that speak to us and confuse us one says one thing wants us another we want to hear you lord we want to hear you clear and loud speak to your people today and lord meet every other need i pray whether it be spiritual or emotional or physical or financial meet every need in the name of jesus i pray ah man amen now i want to pray with you also for your finances i'm telling you there's faith in my heart for this that god will really bless you financially with all the turmoil out there with all the worry and the fear about tomorrow that god will give you such peace such tranquility that you will know the promises of god he said i have not seen the righteous forsaken i have not seen his seed begging for bread his children or grandchildren begging for bread god declared his in his word you'd be blessed going in you'll be blessed coming out he he'll bless the work of your hands there'll be no lack in your life none lacked among them in the book of acts it says none lacked among them and none will lack among you god really wants to bless you god wants to prosper you as you love him as you obey his word you put yourself in that place where you can really prosper really be blessed in spite of the economy in spite of what's happening in the world today god will truly truly bless you and there is power in your seed there's really power in your seed the bible says god gives sithu sword meaning everyone has some money everyone god gives you something to sow nobody can say i have nothing to give yes you do yes you do you can you have it to spend it for other things but when you spend it on other things you're only exchanging it for something you need but when you give it to god it becomes a seed in his hand money becomes a seed in his hand and god will multiply that seed god will bless it give it back to you multiply it that's the difference so lord i pray and i believe with them that they will be blessed financially no lack will come to them as they obey your word because you said you said give you said it shall be given unto you you said whatsoever we so we will reap that's your word lord that's your word you said honor the lord with your substance that's your that's your word lord and so we we honor you today with our money with our substance with the first fruits of all our increase then you promise so shall your bonds be filled with plenty your prices will burst out with new wine lord speak to your people as they give now and bless them in jesus name ah amen all right you can give on the platform you're watching me on right now or you can go to our website benny ministries or simply you can text take your
