KNOW GOD'S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE | Billy Graham | Powerful & Inspirational Video

many Christian students ask me the question how can you know God's will for your life many non-christian students ask the same question to know and to follow the will of God has been the heart's desire of people down through the ages David said teach me to do thy will the Bible teaches that God has a plan for every life and that if we live in constant fellowship with him he will direct us and lead us into the fulfillment of this plan God does not reveal his will through fortune tell us all soothsayers or workers's of hocus-pocus his will is made known to those who have trusted Christ for salvation he shares this secret only with those who are redeemed and transformed by Jesus Christ the Bible teaches that there are several ways outlined in scripture through which we can discern and know the will of God first one of the ways we can discover the will of God is from the Bible a will is null and void if it is not in writing that is what the word Testament means you've often wondered what Old Testament and New Testament me the word Testament actually means will in the New Testament we have a new will that God has put in writing it has endured for centuries it has never been revoked it is still valid today if you want to know the will of God set aside a special time every day to read the Bible read it prayerfully read it regulate read it and meditate on it and it will guide you into his blessed will God never leads contrary to the written word secondly the will of God is revealed through the Holy Spirit using the scriptures when Christ ascended into glory he sent the third person of the Trinity the Holy Spirit to live in the hearts of his disciples jesus said when he the Spirit of Truth has come he will guide you into all truth for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear that shellie speak and he will show you things to come the Bible says voice many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God thirdly the will of God can be revealed through a transformed conscience may not conform to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may know what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God says Paul when one is converted to Jesus Christ his conscience becomes resent citize by the Holy Spirit this is what the Bible means when it says holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience fourthly the will of God is revealed through circumstances the Bible says and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are called according to his purpose so many of us ask God to change the circumstances to suit our own desires rather than conforming our wills to his will God has a plan for the life of every Christian every circumstance every turning of destiny is for your good it is working together for completeness his plan for you is being perfected all things are working together for your good and for his glory don't let circumstances distress you rather look for the will of God to be revealed in and through them there may be distress sickness bereavement or unhappiness in your life look in that bereavement look in that sickness look in that persecution and tribulation for the will of God because God is building and perfecting and patterning your life after that of the Lord Jesus Christ remember Jesus had to suffer so God allows his children to suffer that they might come to the full maturity in Christ fifthly the will of God is revealed through prayer prayer puts us in the proper attitude to discern and to know the will of God it is important for you to get away with God in prayer every day is there in the quiet place away from the din and confusion of the world that God makes his will known we're admonished to seek out the will of God in Ephesians 5:17 we read wherefore be ye not unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is the hundreds listening to my voice of this moment who are outside the will of God you were made for fellowship with God God has a wonderful blueprint for your life and he's patiently waiting to put it into operation but something has gone wrong your air castles have crumbled before your eyes your hopes have been shattered you do not know God's plan as yet because you're unwilling to submit to him you have not heeded the command of Christ to repent of your sins in his eyes you're perishing but it is not God's will that any should perish it is not God's will that you should live under the crushing weight of sin it is not God's will that you suffer defeat after defeat Christ says come unto me and I will give you rest dare to open the door of your heart and let God perform that miracle of patterning your life according to the blueprint which was drawn in heaven long ago [Music]
