Knowing and Doing the Will of God

“And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” (John 8:29)

The following are Sermon Notes on living a dedicated life of doing God’s Will. Every day, we must ask ourselves this profound question: “Am I really doing God’s Will?”

“Every moment of our lives, either we are living in the Will of God or we are living outside of the Will of God.”

“There is no middle ground. Either we are living a life of obedience to God or a life of disobedience to God.”

  1. “Is this decision consistent and in agreement with the Word of God?
  2. Is it a wise decision? If I do this, what will the consequences be?
  3. Can I honestly ask God to empower me to achieve this decision?
  4. Do I have God’s peace about this decision? Is it the right time?
  5. Is this decision consistent with the way God works? Is it consistent with the Scriptures?
  6. Does this decision or action represent who I am, a follower of Jesus Christ?
  7. Does this decision align God’s overall plan for my life?
  8. Does my action and conversation align with who I claim to be?
  9. Does my decision or action honor God? If you are thinking about doing something and you don’t have peace or cannot sleep, let it go.
  10. Will this decision result in unrest and regret for the rest of my life?
  11. Can I expect God to bless and reward me for making this decision?
  12. God has a purpose and plan for my life and He wants the best for me. Am I going to trust God with my life?”

The Believer’s Prayer of Repentance: “Lord, I have lived my entire life thinking my own thoughts and pleasing myself. And for this sin, I ask for forgiveness. I surrender my will to You and ask You to direct me in all my decisions for the remainder of my life. Lord, I want Your best plans for my life, and I am willing to change whatever needs to be changed. In faith, I ask this prayer in Jesus’ Righteous Name, Amen.”

It takes faith, trust, courage, and perseverance to serve God in today's unstable world. Yet, we are never alone. Pray every day and pray often. Study the Bible.
