The Will of God

Recently I have many a discussion with family and fellow believers about what the Will of
God is for one's life.  I know that my time at my current employer is nearly over and I believe that God has called me and my family to Charlotte North Carolina area to continue the work that has already been started in us.  But how does one know what the Will of God is?

To find out what the Will of God is for one's life you have to be able to hear God speak.  Does this mean that God speaks through an audible voice?  Sometimes He does and it is through a person that you may have a deep regard for but in most cases God will speak to your spirit by the time you spend with Him in prayer and in the Bible.  Whatever witness you get will be backed by God's written word, if it does not I would trust it to be from Him.  Another thing that will confirm His will to you is whether you have peace about what He is calling you to do or go.  If there is no peace about what you are about to embark in than stay where you are or what you are doing. 

For where the Will of God is there will be no fear.  For fear is of the devil and our God is love.  If you encounter a person who is trying to make you do something or go somewhere you don't have peace about then you don't go or do it.  God will witness to you about whom you should be with and where you should go.  In the book of Acts Paul wanted to go to Asia to preach God's word but was not permitted to do so by the Spirit of God(Acts 16:7).  So even though there are good men and women of faith who want you to something that is of God you may not be led by the Spirit of God to do it simply because it is not the Will of God for you to do it. 

If one will do as God leads than you will find joy and every need met.  To live in God's Will and plan is the only way to live one's life to the fullest.
