This is such a hard question to answer without being face-to-face. It's because there are so many variables.
The first thing you need to do is pray daily for God's will in your life. If you are not praying, you are not going to be doing God's will. That is rule number one.
Then, you have to learn to identify self-will...the things you do that are self-motivated and that are not connected to the will of God at all.
Of course, in all of this, you need to follow God's commandments. Anything that is against God's commandments is against the will of God.
Next, you need to stop doing those things (breaking commandments and living in self-will). (This is a long process of purgation. See St. John of the Cross' "Dark Night of the Soul" for a detailed account of purgation, so you know what to expect and what it looks and feels like.)
After that--and, remember, you are still praying every single day for God's will--you pay attention to your motives. If they are at all self-seeking (and sometimes self-seeking motives will disguise themselves as "benefitting others"), then they are your will, not God's. If they are selfless and sometimes even make no sense, they are *probably* God's.
One "acid test" to know God's will: If God gives you the power to do it, it is probably his will. But all of the above requirements must be met first.
Basically, you need to humble yourself and seek God in your life. His will will become apparent and will be easier to detect in a few years. (Yes, it takes years of purgation before one can plainly see self-will vs. God's will.)
Seek a competent spiritual advisor in the process. Never, ever determine that something is God's will in your own mind.
Oh, that reminds me of another thing: If it's something that you keep secret, it's your will. God's will is not something that seeks to hide. If for any reason you wish to protect it and not let others know about it, it is self-serving.

By following what his word the bible says: There is a special kind of knowledge that one would need to acquire about and one would be getting to know God on a personal level. John 17:3 tells us about a certain type of knowledge that will lead to something very important, the bible also explains what God's Will is and his purpose. It is not hard to do, It all has to do with rather we want to accept what he says in the bible because after all he knows what's best for us and his will is for us to Love what is good hate (abhor) what is bad/wicked. To preach to persons as Jesus his son did century's ago Baptizing people. But until you know of him he has a name as we do Rom.10:13; Ps 83:18; Proverbs 18:10 and knowing him as a friend and knowing what he requires of us then one would be willing to go forward and do his will. Matthew 6:9,10; Proverbs 1:7, Ps.111:10; John 17:17; 2 Tim. 3:16

If you want to follow Gods will follow the Ten Commandments and spread the word that Jesus is comeing again, and the bible says, to judge the liveing and the dead and we shoud be prepared for that day....if you mean something more then do nothing but pray and ask God what he wants of you, for you are listening. God will tell what he wants and you will be shure...its just a feeling that I cant describe, But you will know.

That is a very important question. God does have requirements for us to be pleasing to him. The best way to find out what he expects of us is by studying the Bible. However, that can be intimidating sometimes. I am going to include a link to a brochure that will help you use your Bible to discover what is needed inorder to do God's will. The first step is taking in accurate knowledge of God and his Son, John 17:3

I was always worried about this as a child. So I made a deal with God, that if He was calling me to something, then I would have peace in my heart.
Notice I did not say that I have to have peace in my mind. As long as I have peace in my heart and soul, then I know that it is from Creator.
To figure that out, time time being silent with God, so that you might be able to listen to Creator.
Hope that helps.

If God wants you to do something it will be. Just keep asking him if this is what you want me to do help me. Alot of times he will put other people that fallow him too around you.
I know I am where go wants me to be as when I look back now I can see if I wasn't here at this time this would not have happened.

Usually people think that this is done through prayer and discernment process. I think just the fact that you want to do God's will is actually a big part of doing God's will.

We study the Bible and do the best we can. But many people will disagree over exactly what God's will is. It is very open for interpretation.

Through reading the Bible, attending Church, praying and seeking guidance from the Lord. And think about the daily blessings you receive.
