It's Not About Us

No Audio File This Week.

Recap of 5/16/10:
1. Five Biblical observations concerning God’s will:
- To Paul, God’s will was not something he sought out but something that he assumed was active in His life. Acts 18:21; Romans 1:10; 15:32.
- Before God’s will involves an action, it involves an attitude. 2 Corinthians 8:5. God’s will is not a place or thing or person as much as it is an atmosphere in our live.
-Renewing our minds is foundational to knowing God’s will for us. Romans 12:2
-Prayer is essential to knowing the will of God. We should be praying for spiritual wisdom and understanding for ourselves and other believers. Colossians 1:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
-the flesh (the sinful nature) and Satan seek to deter us from the will of God. 1 Peter 4:2; 2 Timothy 2:24-26
