40. Find God's will

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 2 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NKJV)

"For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men." 1 Peter 2:15 (NKJV)

I often times hear My children say something to the following effect: 'If only we knew the will of God.' Or 'We can never know the will of God, He is too difficult to understand.' And so I can go on. The sad part is that My will is open, available to all My children through My Scriptures. My will is for My children to rejoice always, to pray without ceasing and to give thanks to Me for everything that I bless them with. My will is also that they allow My Spirit free reign within them to change them from glory to glory to become like My Son and to do good in all situations to all men. My will is that My Kingdom expand through the workings of My children. That is My will. I want My children to excel, and I want them to grow into the fullness of who they are in Me. It is actually so simple. But when one is carnally minded, focused on this world and earthly acclaim it is very difficult to understand. But when you are spiritually minded you are at ease, because My life and My peace will flow through you, changing your world around you. Be open to My leading, listen to My voice whispering to you, then you cannot go wrong. When you walk as My representative in this world, you are walking on My pathways and within My will. How liberating is that? You needn't walk like those in the world without clear direction, no, you will be walking on your God-ordained path, with flowers and streams decorating the path.
