How do you know if you are doing God's will?

Question

I've always thought that if you pray and get peace about it... but how can you tell?

Answer 1

Believe me, if you are a true practicing Christian, God will let you know when you are not obeying His will. You will be put under heavy conviction until you talk to Him and get it straightened out. If you tell God you are sorry, He will forgive you.

Answer 2

GODS WILL IS THAT NO ONE SHOULD PARRISH.
DOING HIS WILL THEN INTELS PREACHING THE GOOD NEWS THE TRUTH AS FOUND IN THE BIBLE LIKE HIS SON JESUS DID.(John 4:23-24) 23 Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth.”
(1 Timothy 2:3-4) 3 This is fine and acceptable in the sight of our Savior, God, 4 whose will is that all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

Answer 3

Are you following the Good Word of God, living by Gods Law, and sharing with others on what God has done in your life, Sharing your testimony, telling them about Jesus? If you are you are doing Gods Will, God gives everyone Spiritual Gifts, each of them unique in their own way, try to think what yours may be, and act on it, If there is something you feel God is telling you to do, and it is for the good of others, it is also Gods Will.May God be with you and bless you and your family.

Answer 4

A good place to start with is desiring to know God's will and if you sincerely want to know God will help you. Read His Word from Genesis to Revelation in a Bible like The Daily Walk Bible.

Answer 5

I always believe that if you are being persecuted for righteousness then you re definitely in God's will. This is only part of it. God answers with peace to every situation.

Answer 6

have u read Romans 5-8.. it's really eye opening. heres' what i learned at bible study. :)

once u accept Jesus died for our sins, you understand that u are Justified. that means we are Not Guilty anymore, of past, present or future sins! that doesn't mean that we can just do whatever we want, and still be righteous. because, once u accept Jesus, and you achieve that Peace from knowing you are freed from the bondage of sin, you are now under God's Grace. because you understand, and Appreciate this grace, you will do what is right. you choose the righteous path. not cuz anyone is forcing u to, but because you WANT to. and you do it willingly and full of joy!! it is an amazing thing...and u won't understand it until u experience it. i've only just begun to realize God's Grace in my life, and it's very freeing. my family used to try to force me to do bible study, QT, be a "good christian", and i couldn't get it. i couldn't understand why, and i didn't accept other christians who were hypocrites in my eyes. but when i learned Romans, i realized, Oh my gosh. we are all sinners, but it's ok. there's no need to feel bad for not being "good enough".... i shouldn't judge myself anymore, and i shouldn't judge others anymore. i felt free from all the mistakes i've made...and now i Want to do what is right, i want to study the bible more, i want to learn more! see how accepting Jesus leads you to doing God's Will!!! you won't understand it, but it's just a feeling.. i don't feel bad about myself anymore! i feel wonderful, free, and proud to do what is right! and if i fall, because i am human and make mistakes, it will be ok, because Jesus loves me! that is the love and power that the bible has taught me.. i hope and pray others will learn to stop judging, and keep an open mind about life, love and religion. to be happy, positive, and live a righteous life is a wonderful Gift, and i choose to try my best to do it, because i Want to, not cuz i want to go to heaven, or think it's the thing to do. i truly Want to learn to do it, and it is worth it for me. :) good luck in all aspects of ur life, try to be positive and happy always! know that u are a good person, and appreciate all the good things that are in store for ur future!
