God's Will

Hi Brother/sister

           I believe God has kept you happy till now..halleluiah..Say thanks to god for the blessing you have received from him.Lets speak about the subject "God's Will".Actually what do you think as God's Will..Each one may be having their own definition of what god's will is?....Do you know God's will is given in the holy book.In which chapter does it come ? any guesses.........?

      All right let me explain to you.Only three things, Refer 1.Thessalonians  5:16

1.Be joyful always

2.Pray continually

3.Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's Will for you in Christ Jesus

               First thing is difficult to do.It's really a gift only few people get it.You may be asking what are you speaking brother how can a man/woman be joyous always? but what i say is its possible when you feel the god's presence in you and when you act according to his preachings..let us take for an example suppose your boss or for example consider your church pastor or anyone whom you have a great respect is constantly monitoring you and he says for the next two whole days i am going to follow you where ever you go and will be with you even in your home.How would you behave then ?There will be a complete change in your activities.Am i right or not? When the pastor comes home what would you do ..Won't you turn off your TV sets and start reading Bible as long as he watches ..You wont do your regular activities and you would change those and show yourself as a good person.

                Likewise Jesus follows you where ever you go and he is constantly monitoring you.So  never forget this .When you feel this presence of him around you and in all the things you do ,you will automatically tend to do right things .This will in turn lead to happiness .So the first thing is simple.

               Now come to the second thing "pray continually".Does that mean should I pray 24*7 ?No not like that.Treat god as your friend.Speak to him continuously regarding what you are going to do and ask his blessings.How would you treat your relatives when they come to home?you will greet them .Then give them a place to sit.The relatives would sit in the chair you given them and would exchange pleasantries .After that they will leave from the same place.suppose if your friend/father/mother comes in ,would you be doing the same?They will be free to move around your home because they have that rights on you.

               Likewise you are going to church and praising lord like oh! Jesus you are great,you are good,you are lovable all those things ..But you never give him the rights on you.You are Keeping him in a distance.Don't do like that .Treat him as your friend and speak,ask him continually this is what pray continually means..

                Now the third thing Give Thanks in all Circumstances.Every Sunday one message in church ,then in some other meetings another message .But are we keeping all these things in our mind ..No.Try to hold on to god's word.God once spoke to a sister named Kalarani .What god spoke to her is this.

God: I am going to give you a Bus which you are going to drive it till Tirunelveli,(A district in TamilNadu)

Sis: God i don't know the way,but what you can do is Sit by my side and give me directions so that i will reach the place.

God: Ok 

Sister then sat in the driver seat and she started driving with the help of God.Once a plain smooth straight road came,sister started driving by her own .Then a Bifurcation of roads came,Now the sister didn't know which way to go ?So she turned towards the place where God was sitting .But god was not there.So she called for God. God appeared before her.

God:What happened?

Sis:Where you went?

God:Since you didn't care about me and since you were driving by yourself, I thought you know the way and I left

Sis:No lord i cant do anything without you please help me.

God:Get down from that driver seat.Give the steering to me .You just sit by my side .Pray and sing about me

            What you understand from this ?The plain smooth straight road are your good times where you forget about god.But suddenly the bifurcation occurs,(Bad time) Then you search for him.It should not be that way.You should be thanking him all the time even its blessings or crisis like Job.Then God will hear your prayers and answer it.The other thing is act according to god's will and not your' s.Give your life into his hands let him drive for you.

         What i am trying to convey you is ?God says to you today that..By thanking and speaking to him continually ,you will be in god's presence and will be joyful always
