How To Know God's Will
Dr. David Davis
Romans 12:1-2
The question is often asked to me, ''How can I know God's will for my life? For my church? For my family?''
If it is so important to be in God's will, how can we know His will?
Romans 12:2 -- It is possible to prove the will of God. Of course, you do not prove it to God; He already knows it.
If you prove it to anyone -- you prove it to yourself.
Here are some simple truths in understanding how to know God's will for your life.
I. PURPOSE
Realize that God has a very definite purpose and will for your life.

Psalm 139:2-6 - Your downsitting and uprising; your thoughts and ways. Even when you are asleep God is thinking about you.

John 7:17

You need to pray and confess that you want to do the will of God. It's one thing to say it -- it's quite another to do it.
III. PRIORITY
There must be an absolute surrender to God. Romans 12:1-2 If you want to prove to yourself what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God, then present your body a living sacrifice. Give yourself over to Christ. Place yourself as an instrument in God's hands -- yield yourself to Christ.
To know God's will -- you must be available. You are only valuable to God as you are available to God.
Being available means being accessible -- having every are ...
