Jeremiah 18:1-4 NLT
[1] The LORD gave another message to Jeremiah. He said, [2] "Go down to the potter's shop, and I will speak to you there." [3] So I did as he told me and found the potter working at his wheel. [4] But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over.
God plants us, if we don't stay planted we will not grow as a Christian.
Jeremiah 29:11 NLT
[11] For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Gods will for you is better than your plans for yourself.
The just will live by faith...not feeling.
Be obedient to what you know is the will of God for you right now.
1. Be filled with the Holy Spirit
Ephesians 5:18-19 NLT
[18] Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, [19] singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.
God wants to fill our sails and permeate everything we do.
2. Have an attitude of gratitude
1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT
[18] Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
Be thankful that God is in control.
There are lots of things that can bum is out... But we can still be thankful that He is good.
3. Live a pure life
1 Thessalonians 4:3 NLT
[3] God's will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin.
Don't live an immoral life.
The Lord will never speak to you in a way that will clearly contradict the Bible.
Romans 12:1-2 NLT
[1] And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice-the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. [2] Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
1. Present yourself to Him.
We should not choose to remember what God has chosen to forget.
What do we present to God? Everything!
Present all your thoughts to God.
THINK before you speak. Is it...
Truthful
Helpful
Inspiring
Necessary
Kind
2. Don't be conformed to this world. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Romans 12:2 NLT
[2] Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
God is speaking of the culture not the planet.
Do not try to be something that you are not.
Don't be a poser or a wannabe.
We need to wash our brains with the word of God.
God's will is good.
God wants to do good things in our lives.
How do you know God's will for your life:
1. He speaks through the word of God.
All scripture is breathed by God.
2. God speaks to us through circumstances.
If God is leading me...he will confirm it.
3. He speaks to us though His peace.
Colossians 3:15 NLT
[15] And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
Base your decisions on God's word.
Jesus came to earth on a rescue mission 2 thousand years ago.
Learning and Sharing. In April 2013 my life greatly transformed as I finally submitted to Jesus Christ and began to follow Him. While I was taking notes, God was working on me and I have been blessed by Him ever since. This blog is all the notes that I have saved. I am adding more weekly as I grow closer to Jesus Christ. I thank all the pastors and teachers that have provided me the information. I hope that my notes can be a blessing for others. God bless you all and please enjoy!
