How many of us struggle with the issue of knowing the will of God for our lives? We struggle and stress, cry and pray, and spend a lot of time wondering if we are IN the will of God...am I right or am I the only one? Yesterday in Sunday school we watched a video by Ray Vanderlaan about the Israelites coming up out of the Red Sea, and what that must have been like. What does that have to do with knowing the will of God??? Well, as I was watching it I was just consumed and set ablaze with the thought that the same power that split the Red Sea and held back the waters while they crossed, that same power that rose Christ from the dead, LIVES inside of a believer. Nothing is impossible with God, and all the promises of God are Yes and Amen in Christ Jesus. One of the promises we have as a believer is that when we accept Christ we are sealed with the Holy Spirit, sealed with that same power. Now, the will of God is that His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I would suggest that being in His will positions you to see the impossible, to see miracles, to radically intervene and disrupt the life of someone headed to hell and show them the way to the cross. God's will is that all might be saved, healed, set free, delivered, and rescued from the curse of death. How can we be content with a nominal Christian life when the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives inside of us, when the Spirit of God inside of us knows there is so much more for us in the Kingdom...in His will for us. Coming to the realization that as a Christian I was put here to do the will of God on earth as it is in heaven, and that in heaven there is no sickness, no disease, but complete health, joy and peace...well that is extremely exciting to me. The will of God is not unknown, if what you are asking lines up with the Kingdom of God, then go for it, if it doesn't pass it by.
