The message explores the concept of knowing God’s will in a believer’s life, emphasizing that all Christians, as New Covenant priests, can understand and follow God’s guidance. The key points are:
1. New Covenant Priesthood: All believers, by faith in Christ, become priests, offering themselves to God as a living sacrifice. This service originates from God as their source.
2. Knowing God’s Will: Contrary to popular belief, discovering God’s will isn’t elusive but can be known through prayer, as demonstrated by Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26).
3. Prayer Method:
•Pray to know God’s will: This involves aligning one’s desires with God’s will, as Jesus prayed, “Not as I will, but as You will.”
•Pray and watch to confirm God’s will: Believers should stay spiritually alert to external confirmations of what God reveals internally. Watching for signs is crucial, such as seeing validation in scripture, circumstances, or through others.
•Pray and obey God’s will: Once God’s will is confirmed, it must be followed in obedience, just as Jesus submitted to the Father’s plan.
The message encourages reflection on whether one truly desires to know and obey God’s will. It also highlights the importance of spiritual discernment through prayer and watching for external signs of confirmation.
