Reasons Our Will May Not Be GOD'S Will

in Luke chapter number 22 Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane before the five mock trials and cross when he comes to the garden the Bible said in verse 39 of Luke 22 and he came out and went as he was want to the Mount of Olives and his disciples also followed him and when he was at that place he said unto them pray that she enter not into temptation and he was withdrawing from them about a stone's cast and kneeled down and he prayed and the Bible records the specific prayer he had that night wing and his father he said in verse 42 saying father if thou be willing remove this cup from me Nicholas not my will but thine be done jesus said to the father not my will but thine be done I want to preach today on the subject why our will may not be God's will where does the word will come from and what does it really mean it means a deliberate or fixed desire or intention it means a wish a choice a preference an inclination a willingness and ordained direction or volition in other words a choice it can also be interpreted as an order or command that's subject to the obedience of the one that's listening we all have a will we all have a choice we all have desires and God gives all of us commands have you ever heard anybody say I have a strong-willed child what they mean by that is the child at a very young age is determined its insistence its pre sistent and sometimes strong-willed children have to be corrected more than the somebody said to me if you whip a child it warps they're fine I said if you don't whip them they'll warp your mind so if anybody's mind is going to be warped it's going to be theirs so our text reveals that Jesus is surrendering his will his choice his command his direction to the Father it was Jesus had said not my will but diming if Jesus did that how much more could you and I experience such a time in our life when we completely abandoned our will and submitted ourselves to the Father Jesus being our example in all manner of faith and practice shows us that there are times when it's complexed to surrender your will there's times when it's harder than other times to surrender your will they're found here in the verses that I read to you first of all it's hard to surrender your whip when you're under the pressures of life did you know out of all the places Jesus could have prayed this prayer he prayed it in the Garden of Gethsemane the word guess Senath means pressure that's where the olive trees grew back in the days of our Lord several of them are still there in the Garden of Gethsemane some 2,000 years later and it was there that they would take those olives and they would crush them and put pressure on them and that's where they would get their anointing oil it's impossible to be anointed without first being broken you have got to be broken and sometimes when the pressures of life get on us it came just to want to exercise our own will instead of thoroughly submitting it to God's will not only dear in the pressures of life but when we know there's going to be pain involved you got to remember right after Jesus prayed this prayer he went the five mock trials at night and he knew the next day he was going to be nailed and crucified to a cross hang there all day long in the hot middle-east Sun and there he would shed his blood and bow his head on a lifeless jess and yield up the ghost it's hard to submit your wheel that God's will when you know it's going to hurt you but yet there are times we must say like Jesus said though we may not understand and we may not even like the experience we must come to the place where we're effective by saying nevertheless doesn't matter if I got presser does it matter if I had pain not my will but thine be done third of all it's hard to submit your will and be totally in the will of God when people that you love turn on you see don't forget it's also right here in these few verses that is Jesus got done praying he went back and found Peter James and John sleeping on him matter of fact he did it three times they couldn't even pray and stay awake for one hour but it was also in this garden where Judas came with a mob of men and kissed Jesus on the cheek and Jesus looked at him and said friend where have you been Jesus had been nothing but good to Judas Judas was a body before Jesus found him Judas would have never been mentioned anywhere in history or the Bible without Jesus he clothed Judas for three and a half years he fed him for three and a half years he protected him for three and a half years he was close to him for three and a half years and in the hour Jesus needed him most he turned on him it's hard sometimes to submit to the will of God when you're facing pressures of life paid in your body and the people that you have been nothing but good to turn around turn you over to the enemy give you the kiss of death and turn out to be exactly opposite of what you thought they were during your time of relationship that has happen to all of us if you study the contents of the 66 books of the Bible you'll find that there are three wills in the Bible number one there is the will of man that John talks about that's when you surrender to yourself you're self-centered have you ever heard anybody say all they care about is themselves that's the will of man they are self-centered you when you surrender to yourself it's the will of man there's also the will of Fletch found in the Bible that's when you surrender to Satan that's when you give in to temptation and you allow habitual ungodly things to control and manipulate your life the third will is the will of God or the will of the Father not surrendered to self you're not surrendered to Satan you're surrendered to a sovereign God somebody said I'm not letting anybody tell me what to do everybody in this building and even in the world has surrendered their will to somebody else you're either living in the will of your flesh or you're living in the will of Satan in the world and or you're living in the will of God so if I've got to let somebody control my life I think I'm 10,000 world's better off to let the Prince of glory have full reign and control over every decision of my life people come all the time and this sounds spiritual but really it's not and I don't mean this to sound hateful people have come to me and say God's got something special for me and I don't know what it is doesn't that sound spiritual but it's not it's not your obligation to find out the will of God it's your obligation to surrender to the will of God and once you totally surrender to the will of God then God begins to give you revelation of what his perfect will is for your life see you're trying to figure out what God wants you to do but you're not even totally surrendered to him yet it doesn't work that way you've got to throw up the white flag of surrender and say in my hand no price I bring simply to the cross I clean you got to say how thine own way Lord have thine own way I'm nothing but your the Potter and I'm nothing but the clay until you do that don't expect God to give you a revelation of what he wants you to do in His perfect will it's your obligation to surrender your will burn all your dreams and plans and say it doesn't matter what God wants me to do where God wants me to go that's where I want to be in my life and it's only that God will reveal through revelation of his word and his spirit what his perfect will is I didn't want to be a preacher at desire be a preacher I got saved want to be a businessman on a funeral home in a trucking company make a lot of money and tithe and support missionaries around the world that was my will but I remember one day when I cried out I don't care if I ever owned a funeral home I don't care if I ever make money I don't care if I ever owned a trucking firm more than the next breath in my body I want to be in the will of God and it wasn't until then that the Holy Ghost anointed me and called me and put me in the ministry and made me what I am today and by the way I've never been sorry I've never been sorry that I wanted to direct will of God in my life and you won't be either but there's going to be times when God's will ghost transgression to your will that can happen in your faith God's will maybe maybe a different direction or different caliber than what you believe some people say they're saved but they walk around with their head down eat up with the guilt of their past the scars the damage the baggage or they say they're saved but they don't have any of the joy of the Lord it's their will just to be saved enough to be miserable that's where a lot of people are you're saved just enough to be miserable I'd say what the will of God is the will of God is for you to have abundant joy because we are overcomers we are more than overcomers we are conquerors through our Lord Jesus Christ our past is gone they've been washed away in the blood of all the scars all the baggage all the sin all the shame all of it is gone if God can forgive you forgive yourself it's God's will for you to be happy for the joy of the Lord is our strength God's will make different with you in your finances you would be surprised how many Christian people pray Lord just give me enough to pay my bills now if that's all God gives you the Bible said there with your to be content there's nothing wrong with that I'm glad I serve a God that's able to take care of me and pay for my bills but the Bible also says you have not because you ask not have you ever asked God to bless you have you ever asked God to multiply your finances some of you can't because your God robbing theif you won't even tie but what you make now you sure to God wouldn't do better if God did bless your business but God may have something greater for you God's will may be something far beyond what you ever dreamed financially but you are locked in to this poverty mentality that's I just want enough to get by and if you want to live that way that's the way God blesses us then we should all be content if you have food and raiment the Bible said there with the be content I had a man come to me one time and he worked for 10 dollars and 25 cents an hour in a furniture store and he came to me and he was very good at making furniture but ten dollars and twenty five cents was as far as he was going working all day long for the furniture I said brother is there nothing you'd like to do in life the are you alright with ten dollars and twenty five cents the rest your life some people that's all they can make and that's the only job openings they have and I'm fine with that but I said have you ever thought about doing something you like starting your own business making up your own hours going to church and your boss not telling you you can't go that Sunday I said it's wonderful if you're disciplining a stillbirth kid the only thing I know how to do is drive a truck and use a chainsaw I said bingo there's your business he said doing what cutting up trucks with chainsaws I said no hauling pup wood if you can run a chainsaw cut the trees down put them on trucks and he said you think I could do that I said for ten dollars and 25 cents an hour I'd die trying he made over fifty thousand last year you see God may have something for you financially but you're locked in you believe you can't do but you've beat yourself up and said it's just it is what it is I've just got to get by and do the very best I can and and and it's always running up short at the end of the month and it's always you got to pay this bill or shut the electricity off or my food or not pay the water bill and if God puts you on that strenuous thing there's a reason and a purpose and I'm not downing that but what would be wrong with asking God of his will in your finances you wouldn't have a problem with God blessing you would you some of you look like you would what's wrong with you but I'm saying God is able to to have his will done in your life financially he's able to do that with your fitness with your health I had a lady come to me in this church some time ago and she said my husband is nine he knows he's dying the doctors have told him he's dying I know he's dying she said I have told him to come before the church and anoint him with oil she said I told my husband honey I prayed for you this morning and God told me to tell you if you would let the church anoint you with oil that God would help you and God could heal you and she had that much faith that God could touch him and healing and I went to him and I asked him about her and I showed him what the Bible said and he was uncomfortable with that and you've got to respect that but he's not here today you see God may have a miracle in your health you said but the doctor said it's cancer and the doctor said I'm in Stage four and the doctor said it's inoperable and the doctor said the chemo will kill me and the doctor said I can't take all the radiation yeah that's what the doctor said hey that's what the doctor said but I got news though the great patient up in heaven and you're not going anywhere till God says so I said as a child of God you're not going anywhere till God says so God may tell you to Leah you say but the flesh says God and the world says God and the doctor says God but if God says we'll now a lot of Baptists don't like that and that's fine you want to go around like you ought to rest your life Epis out a drunk hit my wife and I several years ago and sent us spiral in the air eight feet high at 65 miles an hour we flip four and a half times down the interstate land it upside down and it was spinning like a top going down the interstate upside down after flipping four and a half times she looked at me and said are you going to get out I said sure as soon as the car stops honey I would appreciate you letting the car stop we are steady down at Interstate miles an hour I don't think it's a good idea to get out right now we're hanging upside down you can't see your hand in front of your face it's 9:30 10 o'clock at night and she says we're hanging by her seatbelt she said we're stuck in here well I've got claustrophobia she should have never said we're stuck in there I started kicking like a jackass with both hands and feet I tell you utilize are plunging and a kicking I heard a glass breaking brother in two seconds I was out of there I had a suit on it never unbuttoned my suit coat now listen is the God's truth I'm out there directing traffic people think I'm a bystander I'm the one in the car and the guy pulled up he was the first responder bless his heart he only had one red light look just like a five look brother guy sighs and he jumped out of that pickup and he got on a walking talking he said casualties casualties people are dead everywhere I said sir Danny nobody dead here yes there is look it up got tassels he blood people Danny I said sir nobody's dead I'm the driver of the car he passed out we we he get passed out in the grass and we we had the minister there but this is the truth when we were eight foot up in the air upside down in the middle of the night at 65 miles an hour my wife said to me we're gonna die the moment that come out of her mouth it was beyond an audible voice it was beyond an audible voice God said you're gonna live you're not going anywhere I'm not done with you yet they reconstructed our accident on a computer they gave me a 2% chance to live it never messed up my hair my pian never out of my pocket and it never unbuttoned my suit coat I never had a sore muscle I never had a black and blue mark I'm here to tell you there's a woman God is able to sustain you so what do we do how do you rest when your will seems to be deterrent from the will of God because all of us have things that I don't like I don't like the fact that three weeks ago I had to pass by a little pink casket and say goodbye to a little girl that three weeks ago hugged my neck in the back of this church and kissed me on the cheek you think I like walking by that little pink casket and looking at that little doll and would never hug me again our uncle's here her grandparents are here I didn't like it my will is I don't like it miss Sharon I went to your house found your husband dead in the bed I don't like it I watched some of my people fight answer I don't like it I see some of your kids are dope addicts in prison breaking your heart dying prematurely because of bad habits I don't like it I'm dealing with divorced families in my church husbands and wives throwing in the towel quitting on each other and divorcing I don't like it I got families it won't be faithful to church here bless God some of you wouldn't be faithful to John the bad this was a fester and I don't like it it offends me it makes me mad that I give it everything I got you don't even have the decency to show up that ticks me off there's a lot of things that happened in my life that I don't like there's a lot of things as a preacher you got to go through and understand and listening to that I don't like so what do you do when you will differs from God's will because I Got News for us brother Doug that wasn't an accident to God be sharing your husband's on an accident miss McCarty your cancer is not an accident and brother you can even get more formally you can even get more personal brother of honor the divorce is not an accident God knows what he's doing so in God's will and things happen to us it that crosses our will how in the world do you find rest in peace it was even Jesus the Son of God that said father if it be possible let this cup pass from me I don't like it nevertheless in spite of the fact that I don't like it in spite of the fact that it hurts me its spite of the fact that it's putting pressure on me in spite of the fact people I love will turn on me here's where you got to get not my will but thine be done how can we say that when we're hurting so bad let me show you from the Bible quickly and I'm done 1 we can rest in this as child of God because we know he sets our limits here's what the Bible said in Psalms chapter 103 and verse 14 here's what the Bible said God knoweth our frame that were no means he has perfect knowledge of God has perfect knowledge of your frame I'm not talking about your skeletal frame I'm talking about your ability to bear a load God knows your frame did you know when you build a single-story house and I'm not a carpenter and I don't want to be a carpenter I hate carpenter work Jesus wasn't even quit I can't in carpenter work Noah built an art and got drunk and I don't blame him a bit I hate that stuff with a passion but somebody's got to do it and they say here that the code is if you being build a single-story house you can frame it on sixteen inch centers the outer walls with two by fours because they say the two-by-four can handle the weight of the trusses and the roof but if you go two stories you have to frame it on sixteen inch centers with two by sixes it's against the law to use two-by-fours because there's added weight and there's added pressure on the length and the ability of those walls so there are some buildings that are manufactured only have two by four structures but others are manufactured to have two by sixes would you get in the metal buildings have you ever seen the metal trusses that outline the metal buildings why those things are 12 inches thick welded and at the top they're probably three and a half feet wide and they go across those metal buildings you know the only difference in those links is the weight and the frames ability to hold it and if you don't know the framework and you put more on a building than the framework calls for it will crumble and it will fall and David said I want to tell you one thing about God that I've known since I've been saved he knows my fronting work he knows if I'm a 2x4 he knows if I'm a 2x6 he knows if I'm a 2 by 12 he knows if I'm a trust for metal building and I know what Fang no matter what comes my way there's a God in heaven that has all the paperwork and he'll never play some God will never put more on you than you're able to bear a little boy spent the night with his friend his father called for him they came running down the stairs and it was to go get firewood they went out down through a valley back behind the house and the Sun stuck out his hands and the father begin to pile the wood in his arms the visiting boy had never seen that before and he said hey don't you think that's enough and the boy just silently stood there waiting for his father to finish the put another small log on his arm and his friend said look man if he keeps doing that it's going to break you down he said that's my father he knows we're in a valley and he knows I'm headed home he ain't never put more on me than I was able to carry to the house he ain't never put more on me than I was able to carry out of this valley to the house I'm telling you there's a God in heaven I'm about to have a fit bless God Almighty around you then you're able to carry to the house we can understand God's will and rest in it because he sets our limits number two we can rest in his will when it differs from our because he sees the future may I remind you that Revelation chapter 21 verse 6 says this I'm the Alpha and the Omega that's the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet then he clarified it to us english-speaking people and said I am the beginning and I am the end did you know God is the only one that can say this he's just as familiar with the future as he is with the past now you and I are familiar with our past we can bring up stories and recollections of days gone by but we don't know anything about the future but we serve a God that can see the future just as easily as he could see the past so I can rest in no matter what comes my way I can't see what tomorrow holds but I know who hopes tomorrow and he sees what's going on and he sees where I'm headed and he knows what direction I'm in years ago when I became a pilot I was flying one day and we were chartering a family to a place in Jackson Tennessee and we had a family onboard and I was flying and it was a chartered plane and we were going through a terrible storm and and the clouds were so black like hitting the windshield of that airplane and I was flying about what they call IFR which means I have nothing to go by but the instrument panel and and when you when you're going by feeling it's a whole different world and walking by sight because at times it felt like the airplane was shooting straight down but according to the ages it was it there were times it sound like the engines wasn't winding fast enough but according to the RPM gauges they were fine and I learned that when you're going through a storm you can't trust the way you feel you've got to trust the instrument panel that's why God gave us a Bible because it doesn't matter whether the sun shining on the storms brewing the Bible never changes feelings will check what the Bible will never change finally I told the instructor I said I want to get above this cloud he said radio into the tower and I did so and the tower didn't respond after a few minutes I grabbed a microphone again he said what are you doing I said I'm ready no one into the tower I want to tell him where I'm at I want to tell him what I'm going through and I want to tell him where I want to go he said may I remind you he's in a high tower he's got a radar in front of him he knows everywhere you've been he knows where you're at right now and he knows exactly where you're headed I said yeah but I want to remind him he said you don't have to remind him his eye is on you he he knows what you're going through have you ever been in something where you wanted to remind God what you were going through and you wanted to tell God how to get out of it that's why David called him our high tower God has a radar in front of him he knows what you been through he knows where you're at he knows where you're headed and he'll guide you through because he be the future and lastly in closing he'll send us his grace not long ago I stood at the foot of a man that was dying and his wife looked at me and said I can't handle it if he dies I said no you can't because you're facing tomorrow's problems with today's grace when he dies God will give you grace it won't be easy but God will give you the grace that you need be sharing when we found your husband you were a basket case but just several weeks later here you sit calm respectful confident and what in the will of God done in her life it's being a Christian doesn't mean things don't happen it just means when things happen God's grace shows up here's what the Bible said I'm done kind of a funny illustration a God was passing a farmer one day and he had a horse hung on a rope he said where you going he said I'm going to the sale to sell this horse he said no you're not he said yes I am this is my horse this is the road the sales up the dirt road I'm going up his dirt road and I'm selling my horse at the horse sale today he said no you're not he said the Bible said in James chapter 4 verse 15 that you ought to do this or that the Lord willing if it's the Lord's will you ought to do this or that he said I don't I'm about the Bible and all that ain't doing that all I know is I'm taking this horse I'm going through the sale I'm getting the money and I'm going to the house he said sir you need to save the Lord will and he said I ain't saying and he went on his way about an hour later he came back down that dirt road his clothes were all tattered his eyes were black and blue his lip was bleeding the guy stopped and said what happened to you he said him bunch of Devils jumped me up the road and stole my horse I didn't make it to the sale I don't have my horse or my money the old farmer looked at where are you going now he said I'm going home Lord
