There are many today who struggle with knowing God’s will. They find themselves asking what does God want for me or what does he wants me to do. God’s way of speaking unto our lives is tailored to us; he speaks the language that only we know. We all have a unique language by which when we hear it we respond immediately. The ultimate quest of man is to commune with his maker and throughout history we see that. Communication is probably one of the most important survival skills God’s creation from man to micro-organs use. The spirit by which we receive the messages that come our way determine our reaction. Many times most of us walk blindsided as to Gods will kind of like the three blind mice.
1 Corinthians 2:12-14
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
The apostle Paul spoke to the church of the importance of knowing what God wants for us. There are many factors that compliment each other with in our walk of faith to knowing God’s will; where does it begin and end. But, before we comprehend what God wants for us there has to a desire to knowing it; what does God really wants with me (Ph. 2:13). Before we continue we need to understand that there is the perfect will and the permissible will of God. God reveals his perfect will to us at times via circumstances or as with an internal intonation. But, many times he uses Spirit filled men with his word to reveal his will (1Cor. 2:13). Now, the Spirit of God knows the spirit of man and he knows how to vary from carnal to spiritual things. Jesus said that he would leave us the comforter and not leave us comfortless (Jh. 14:26). We are use to of deciding for ourselves the in’s and out of life, and most of the time we do not know how to discern the things of God when they come up. Now, the spirit of God knows how to separate the things that are of God from the things that are not.
As we grow in the Lord we will learn what things are spiritual and what are not (1Cor. 15:48-49). Now, we need to practice searching out the spiritual things, because when we do no one can judge us (1Cot. 2:15). Being natural is not normal, we can no longer be considered normal we must be spiritual; seeking the spiritual. Too often we find ourselves preoccupied with the natural things then with the spiritual. The spiritual, most of the time, is left to when there is a service and not during anytime (Ro. 8:5).
