Judge Yourself

Judge yourself today. Ask yourself, your spouse, and your family, "Are we lining up with the known will of God? If we aren't, we're going to. We're going to change. We're going to make adjustments."

Be ready to change. Some people are too proud and arrogant to admit they're wrong. So humble yourself. Say, "God, I'm nothing." Don't follow the world, where everyone says, "I'm a selfmade man. I did this, and I'm a millionaire." So what? God says you're nothing without Him.

Everyone wants to sing Frank Sinatra's song: "I Did It My Way." And they also sing, "Glory be to me. Glory be to me. There's no one like me on the face of the earth. La, la, la, la, la." They don't seek the counsel of God. Don't be like them.

Consecrate your will. Humble yourself. Pray, "God, I've been going my own way all these years, but I'm not going my own way anymore. I turn. I submit to your known will, and I thank You for your unknown will. Lead and guide me day by day in the paths of righteousness."

What To Pray

Then pray this prayer of consecration: "Lord, I'll go where You want me to go. Lord, I'll do what You want me to do. Lord, I'll say what You want me to say. And, Lord, I'll be what You want me to be."

In the will of God, you can come into a place of protection, provision, and abundant blessing in the midst of turmoil and the devil's onslaught. The Bible says, "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalm 91:1).

Seeking First the Kingdom

The time should come when you don't pray about the needs in your life. My wife and I don't have time to pray for all our needs anymore. We pray for direction—because where God leads, He feeds. Where He guides, He provides. And what He orders, He pays for.

The Bible says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33). Not subtracted—added!

My wife, Adonica, stuck a sign on our bedroom door that says, "God's will." This has to be your commitment: God's will—nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. It simply takes a decision. Once you make that decision, you'll be so happy, you'll think you died and went to heaven.

Nothing is greater than being in the will of God. It's fun, it's wonderful, it's glorious.

The most blessed thing that God ever revealed to me from His Word was that I could know His perfect will for my life. I didn't have to go in and out of His will; I could know it and walk in it all the time.

Now, when people ask, "Are you in the will of God?" I can smile and say, "I know I'm in the will of God."
