How Do I Know God’s Will?

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what

God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Romans 12:2

 

Who wants to know Gods’ will for their life?

Well, I see everybody raised their hands.

That’s very commendable.

We ought to desire to know and walk in His will.

So how do we go about finding it out?

Here’s a clue – read today’s verse again.

Pay close attention to what comes before and after the word ‘then’.

It’s there; did you catch it?

I need to have a renewed mind.

The mind of the ‘old man’ cannot know the will of God.

Too many believers try to walk in the ways of God with the ‘old’ mind.

It does not work.

We must be transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we can know His will.

The ‘pattern’ of this world will never lead me to the will of God any more than the Pacific Coast highway will lead me to the moon.

It won’t happen.

It can’t happen.

The renewed mind is a mind set on the Word of God and the will of God.

The renewed mind is a transformed mind and a transformed life.
