Do you know what the will of God is?

 'Wherefore in the practice of obedience the believer goes through the following steps:

(a) willingness to do God’s will (John 7.17);

(b) revelation of that will to his intuition by the Holy Spirit (Eph. 5.17) ;

(c) strengthening by God to will His will (Phil. 2.13) ; and

(d) strengthening by God to do His will (Phil. 2.13).

God never substitutes Himself for the believer in carrying out His will; consequently, upon knowing the

will of God he must will to do it and then draw upon the power of the Holy Spirit to work it out.'

Excerpt - The Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee

Joh 7:17  If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

Eph 5:17  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 

Php 2:13  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 

Will you do God's will? Do you have a willingness to do God's will? Do you understand what the will of the Lord is? Does God work in you willing you to do His will? Does God work in you to do His will?

Before you answer yes to any of the above questions think about them for a moment. 

The bigger question may be is- what exactly IS God's will?

Col 1:9  For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding

1Th 4:1  Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

1Th 4:3  For this is the will of God

1Th 5:18  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 

1Pe 4:2  That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 

1Pe 2:15  For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men

Psa 143:10  Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. 

Mat 7:21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 

Mat 12:50  For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. 

2Co 5:15  And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Eph 6:5  Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; 

Eph 6:6  Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; 

Eph 6:7  With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: 

Heb 13:21  Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 

1Jn 2:17  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 

Mic 6:8  He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Mat 6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 

1Ti 2:3  For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 

1Ti 2:4  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 

Do you know what the will of God is?
