His will

Many times I hear people say I want to know what the will of God is for my life.
Even I a simple know the answer to that  question its simple. Its Genesis  to Revelation
that is God will for each of us. So read and know what his perfect will is.


God has revealed His will to us in many areas through His
written Word, the Bible. But there are many things the Bible
does not specifically tell us, such as what person to marry,
what job to do, or where to live.  Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth.

It was given to us as guide to add us in this journey. Still God has
made provision to guide us in these areas of life also.

The peace of God is the umpire to determine our direction.

Understanding the "peace of God" can sometimes seem difficult. Inexperienced
believers can mistake feeling good or comfortable in their
flesh for the inner witness. But, just like everything in life,
we learn, even when we make a mistake.

While this may be open to misunderstanding and abuse, it's what
Scripture teaches. God desires a growing relationship with us,
and obviously is not too concerned about us never making a
mistake while we grow spiritually and learn by experience how
to better discern the "inner witness."

We are not talking about having "peace" in your flesh, but an
"inner" peace deep within your spirit. It is not fleeting, but
grows stronger the more we draw near to God by spending time
focused on Him and His Word.


There are two criteria by which we can determine whether a
thought is from God. The first is a knowledge of the written
Word of God, the Bible. God will never lead us contrary to His
written Word.

The second criteria is the inner witness.


Romans 2:15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their
conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their
thoughts accusing or else excusing them

How can you determine the Holy Spirit?

First, it is important to realize that it is not usually a
voice, but a witness. Some words to define it are intuition,
impression, idea, hunch, knowing, or peace.

The Holy Spirit is something we receive from God it purpose is aid us

in knowing what God's will is for our life and what direction God desires us to take. t


Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are
children of God,

To be sensitive to the Lord's will, we must look to the Lord
and spend time focused on Him. Prayer, praise, giving thanks,
and acknowledging God in all our ways are part of it. The
better we know the Lord, both through His Word, and through
walking with Him, the easier it will be for us to discern the
 Holy Spirit, and know God's will for us.

We must walk in the light we have, and make our decisions
prayerfully.


 if any of us lack wisdom,  let him ask and it will be granted unto him.
His will is not for man  to go through life blind and afraid, but rather 

to stand on his word and trust him in all that we do.
