God's Will

16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil. 23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24

I hear people all the time say, "if only I knew what God's will for my life was." My response, read the bible, its right there, God's will for our lives, just read it, believe it and live it. Here in a letter to the Church in Thessalonica we see a glimpse into God's will, to rejoice always, pray without ceasing and give thanks is all circumstances. If we do these three things we have a good start on living out God's will for our lives! Let the Holy Spirit live out through us do not stifle Him because this is God's Spirit leading, teaching, inspiring us to live out God's will. Do not despise, or look on with contempt the prophecies of God but test all things holding with all your life what is good because anything good comes from God! Keep out of your life every form of evil for these are the things of Satan and he is the one who deceives us. May God set us all aside for His Holy purpose and our entire spirit and soul and body be blameless in God's sight, not because we deserve it but because Christ redeemed us. Always keep your mind focused on Him knowing that He is always faithful and will surely do as He has promised. Do you still question what God's will for your life is? Do you need more? Then read His word! Talk to a pastor, email or message me and I will get you in contact with one. Please know in your heart that God Loves You! ...and so do I... Amen. <><
