Doing the will of Jesus?

“That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.” Philippians 3:10-11

The will of Jesus is not something mysterious or puzzling to figure out. The Holy Spirit will unveil the will of God for you each day.

The biggest mistake believers make is to get ahead of the Holy Spirit. Rest in God and He will guide your footsteps.

Remember, it is not your will but God’s will to be done. The will of Jesus is to walk in oneness with Him anchored to the Holy Spirit.

The will of God can be blocked by sins such as living for self, compulsive behaviors, refusal to obey God or the worship of idols. Jesus wants you to flee from all forms of darkness.

Every day pray the blood of Jesus over you and ask Him to show you anything you are doing which grieves the Holy Spirit.

It is impossible to do the will of Jesus unless you know Him personally. He is alive and very approachable. The believer must get to know His ways and learn to live in His presence.

The only way to know the reality of the Living Christ is to abandon yourself to Him without any strings attached.

Jesus is very jealous and He does want to share you with other gods.

The next step is to develop a personal and embracing relationship built on prayer, reading the Bible and listening for His voice. 

The decision for Jesus will trigger the work of the Cross in your life and you will identify with the death and resurrection of Jesus. You will develop a close fellowship with Jesus as you experience the trials and sufferings of the Cross. 

The Cross will cause you to give up your independence, sever your ties with the world and live by unwavering faith reaching out to Jesus for your every need.

Jesus will come alive when you invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life. The Holy Spirit is the life of Jesus and is sealed in all believers. He is your portal to the powerful attributes of Jesus and will fill you with His perfect and omniscient wisdom.

The Cross is very difficult for a human being to follow because we do not think or act like Jesus. We are self driven people and Jesus has no ego.

Commit your works each day to Jesus and seek His will for your life.

Jesus wants to be involved in both the big and little things of your life. The routines of life is where you will learn the values of Jesus.

As a believer, you have the mind of Christ. Jesus desires to have a consistent dialogue with you and guide you into His perfect will.

The Lord is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your pathway.

Jesus will reward the doers of the Word with the gift of resurrection from death.
