Psalm 40:8 – “I desire to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my inner being.”

What is our purpose if not to serve God and advance His kingdom? Over the years, I have had people tell me, “I don’t know what God’s will is for my life.” Sometimes, they are genuine in that declaration. However, sometimes, there was the absence of a genuine willingness to do the will once it was known. I have discovered that God may not reveal His will to a heart unwilling to do it once it is known.

That being said, if we genuinely want to know the will of God, it would be wise to ask, “What flips your switch, motivates you, and captures your attention and longing?” I have heard some incredible responses and, at times, have been shocked that a Christian would say what was said.

What is your passion?

What do you genuinely like to do? What things do you have a natural propensity and talent for? It is quite likely that those things are an integral part of God’s will for your life. He does not give you talents, abilities, or gifts and instills in your heart wholesome desires that are not to be used for His purposes.

God has declared that we are new creations in Jesus through salvation.  God has said that we are more than conquerors and have all the power and authority of the forces of hell.  He has declared that He will never leave nor forsake us.  He has said that He is unchanging and that none of His promises will fail.  That is Who we are and What we have been promised. Of course, that only scratches the surface of His provisions, but it is enough to cause overflowing joy.

I encourage you to set your heart on being the person of this payer and pray for it.  “Lord, help me to open my heart to You so that You can expose my flaws and Your perfection to me. Help me to surrender my entire being to You, be empowered by Your Spirit, and be cleansed by the Blood of Jesus.  Please help me BE who you said I am!  Amen!” 

I declare Victory!  We have victory because of Who Jesus is and What He has done!  

May the Lord of Hosts walk with you today and guide you into His fullness!
