God’s Will and the Process to Get You There
Everyone who knows me, knows that I am a teacher of The Word, chosen by God, and often (more often than not) He uses me to teach on the processes of God in our lives.
I know this is not the subject manner in which many would want to hear, but it is what is needed to equip The Body [of Christ] for what they will have to endure in order to fulfill the Call/ Will of God and receive the promise.
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:13.
So please bear with me. I know this one is a little lengthy and meaty but, will be worth the time it takes to read it as you allow it to sink into your spirit.
We will first discuss God’s Will, thoughts, and His Plans. Then I will show you how the process is leading you to those plans as you willfully surrender to it.
This will require a walk and of by faith that many around you my or may not understand this walk/path that He has chosen for you.
We are here to please the Father not everyone around us anyway so never forget that. Keep your eyes focused upon Jesus, as you continue to follow him through your process.
Now let’s get started right here.
God already has a Plan for each of our lives. The Bible teaches us that there is
1.) A good will,
2.) A acceptable will, and
3.) a perfect will of God.
Which one do you want? Door number one? Door number two? OR Door number three?
As we grow in our faith from one level of glory to another each level will produce a certain amount of fruit of his divine nature in our lives.
Some 30-fold, some 60-fold, and some 100-fold fruit. Which is what God is looking for in us all, and what the entire process of God is designed to bring forth in each one of us.
The fruit of His loving nature and Spirit, equipping each one of us to do his will and thus preparing us for heaven.
“But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.” Matthew 13:8.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23.
The Bible tells us not to be conformed to this world’s way of doing things but, rather be (set apart) and transformed to His way of doing things.
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2.
You will never reach God’s outcome if you are following the world’s and man’s system and ways all the while thinking you will get there that way.
Trust me you won’t get there your way or man’s ways but, only God’s way, and that is the way Jesus himself went and that is the way we are to follow. Jesus is the only way!
Do you trust God enough to surrender your life and the plans that you have for yourself over to Him to trust Him to bring you into divine alignment with His Plans that He has for you, in order that He may get you where He knows He has created you to be, in order that you may become what He has created you to become, for His purpose to be done on this earth through you?
Are you willing to let Him lead you through the entire process even if that entails some hardships and suffering to your flesh?
Trust and believe me it will require that. Jesus said in His word if you are not willing to partake in His sufferings then you cannot reign with Him.
“If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us.” 2 Timothy 2:12.
“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are PARTAKERS OF CHRIST’S SUFFERINGS; that, WHEN his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.” 1 Peter 4:12-14.
“Wherefore let them that SUFFER ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.” 1 Peter 4:19.
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the GLORY WHICH SHALL BE REVEALED IN US. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” Romans 8:18-21.
You are not here by accident but, rather by design. God created you for a specific purpose that only you can fulfill and He declares in His Word, “I know the plans I have for you, says The LORD.”
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith The LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end/future.” Jeremiah 29:11.
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons/daughters of God.” Romans 8:14.
Are you ready for his perfect will? Are you ready to let go and let God? That will require a life lived by faith and complete surrender and sole trust in Him because that is His way of doing things.
For The Bible says, the just, they live by faith!
Living by faith may not always be easy to your flesh, because The Bible teaches us that our flesh is always at enmity or at odds with God always wanting it’s own way/will and The Bible says it is contrary to him and His will.
The flesh nature we were all born with is very rebellious to God’s will and that is why The Bible says that those that are in the flesh cannot please God. The Bible also teaches us that without faith it is impossible to please God.
Our flesh man wants what it wants, when it wants it, and how it wants it, and does not like the process which will require you to have faith and patience in the process in order that you might develop more into his image making you ready for the promise.
You must die daily to your own self desires and will for yourself that His desires and will for you can be accomplished.
Whose flesh likes to learn to wait upon God and be fully developed into His image? Whose flesh wants to partake in some of His sufferings? Whose flesh wants to go there right?
Which is why we have to be willing to surrender our life and will over to Him and become more like Jesus who before he went to the cross, while he was in the garden of Gethsemane, he knew the cross would entail suffering to His flesh yet, He still chose to surrender to that part of the process.
He chose to surrender even though He knew what His flesh was about to go through. He still chose God’s will and became obedient even to the death of The Cross and then God highly exalted Him and gave Him a name above every name and placed Him at his right hand.
He said, “Father if it be thy will let this cup pass form me but, never the less, not my will, but thine be done.”
If you are not at that place of surrender in the process yet trust me my friend, you will come to it, if you keep following His lead.
Some of you still have a ways to go before you are ready for that but, he is beckoning you to come out into the deeper waters with Him.
He has assured you this, those waters will not overtake you and His Holy purifying fire will not destroy you because the fire is working for you not against you.
“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” Isaiah 43:2.
Water always signifies the Spirit. So as you read Ezekiel 47 you will learn about those who are ankle deep in the water/spirit, those who are knee deep in the spirit, those who are up to their loins in Him, and then those who were fully swimming in the water/spirit totally filled with his Spirit. You must be emptied of self in order to be totally filled with His Spirit.
“And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.” Ezekiel 47:3-5.
If you place your trust in Him and surrender your will to His, faith will produce everything it is designed to do for you and you can trust God and his word on that.
Soon you will be walking in the supernatural on the waters but, you must first launch out in to the deep for the great haul/ catch is there!
“And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.’ Matthew 26:39.
“Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.”(catch) Luke 5:4.
So we all must let go of fears, lack of faith, and stop trusting in your flesh and listening to the wisdom of man and the flesh around you and hear what the Spirit of The LORD is saying to you by His Spirit.
“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” 1 Corinthians 3:19.
We must even stop trusting in our own flesh and it’s abilities and learn to put our sole trust in Him and His ability to bring us into the place that He designed for us. Trust and let God bring you where you could or never would have gone in your own carnal flesh ability.
Some trust in Pharaoh’s chariots/horses/ways/system, and some trust in The LORD but, you cannot have it both ways. Choose ye this day whom ye will serve!
God’s economy and system does not operate like the world’s economy and system does. One brings you into slavery while the other brings you into liberty.
God is delivering those who are His from the bondage of slavery to a world’s system and economy to God’s kingdom economy here on earth as it is in heaven. He is leading us to the promise land that will not be tied to anything of this world. It can only be obtained through and by Him and obedience to Him.
“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: (ways of the pharaoh would system) but we will remember the name of The LORD our God.” Psalm 20:7.
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; (his ways of doing things) and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33.
Listen to the words of Jesus as He is speaking to Peter when Peter wanted to go back to his trade which was fishing and Jesus was calling him to be a fisher of men, a disciple of His doing His will and works.
“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.” John 21:18.
He is saying to Peter stretch out your hand and place it in mine and let me lead you where you would never go in your flesh carnal mind, because I know the plans that I have for you.
Let God train you how to live by faith as you surrender your will over to him and He will teach you so many things in that process and transform your heart more into His image, then He will release you into all He designed for you.
He never said the process would be easy but, he did promise the outcome. He said I will bring you through the waters, and the purifying fires, and then I will bring you out into a wealthy place.
“Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.” Psalm 66:12.
He will never bring the outcome until you fully let go and surrender your will over to him and then He will lead and guide you through the entire process by His Spirit and the outcome will be glorious even as He has already declared the end of the matter in the beginning.
Until you learn to let go, and let Him lead you through the entire process even the painful parts you will not be ready to receive and do with it what He has called you to do. Plain and simple truth here.
So stop trying to go around or run from the process or think you have already arrived and just surrender to it because there simply is no other way!
For those of you who think you have already reach perfection and have already arrived through the entire process, consider this scripture and if your heart is not willing to say yes to this, then you have not arrived to perfection or fully surrendered to the process as of yet.
He is still working on us all getting us ready for heaven. Always pruning us for more fruit to be produced within us down here in our daily lives. We are still a work somewhere in the process and a work in progress.
“Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.” Matthew 19:21.
Remember His ways is not our ways, His ways are higher than our ways, but, they are better for us and everyone around us. We chose to trust the man with the plan.
“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto The LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith The LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:7-9.
While you are trying to do it your way in your flesh carnal mind, ways and thoughts you will never fulfill the will of God there.
You have to surrender your life to him and he will lead you though the process of death to flesh and self so he can live through you!
“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.” Romans 7:18.
You have to be led by his Spirit not your thoughts and ways/carnal mind. Only one way to get there and it is through and by Him. No other way!
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6.
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” John 10:27.
Since there is only one way then we must follow our Sheppard and go the way He went. He was the forerunner Son who walked the path designed by God for Him to lead many other sons and daughters into the same glory.
He is the way and the only way! So let go of your way of trying to do that and let Him lead you His way.
Blessings dear sisters and brothers in Christ. May this article help equip you for the days ahead. God bless each and everyone of you.
