"The Will of God Part #3"
(The Perfect Will of God) Rom. 12:2
Note: No man can tell you what the Perfect Will of God is for your Life. The only
person that can is the Holy Spirit which lives in you. (1 Cor. 6:19-20 & 1 Peter
1:18-19) The Lord will make sure that you know the Perfect will of God if you
want to know, (Ph. 2:12-14) but if you are not willing to do the Good Will of
God, or the Acceptable Will of God, you can forget the Perfect Will of God.
Intro:
1) The Contemporary Will of God The will of God right now.
1 Corinthians 16:12-16 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come
unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will
come when he shall have convenient time. Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like
men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity. I beseech you, brethren, (ye
know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have
addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) That ye submit yourselves unto such,
and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
Philippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that
whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand
fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Gal. 5:1 & Eph. 6:13-18 (1 Cor. 10:31)
1A) Stand
1B) Be Strong
1C) Strive together (Submit)
2) The Conforming Will of God The will of God in the Future
Romans 8:26-31 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what
we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with
groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts (Jer. 17:10) knoweth
what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to
the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love
God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he
also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the
firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also
called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also
glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against
us?
2A) It will be Personal
Philippians 2:13-14 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his
good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: (Ill. Ehud Jud 3)
Ehud got involved Personally and killed Eglon
2B) It will have a Purpose Ill. Gideon
Judges 7:2 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too
many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves
against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
2C) It will be Possible Cable said I am just as strong today (Josh14:11)
Every Christian can be in "The Perfect Will of God" by adhearing to these Truths.
1) The Perfect Will of God will be Consistant (1 Kings 13 The Man of God did that
which was In-consistant with the
Word of God)
1A) I should be Consistant in my Daily Activities
2 Timothy 2:4-5 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life;
that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. And if a man also strive
for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any
man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father,
but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that
doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Ill. Achan (Joshua 7)
1B) I should be Consistant in my Daily Adoration
Exodus 34:14-15 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name
is Jealous, is a jealous God: Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the
land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and
one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; Ill. Daniel (Daniel 6:5)
