His Will Is My Will

My Utmost For His Highest

 

The will is the essential element in God’s creation of human beings— sin is a perverse nature which entered into people. In someone who has been born again, the source of the will is Almighty God. “. . . for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” [Philippians 2:13] With focused attention and great care, you have to “work out” what God “works in” you— not work to accomplish or earn “your own salvation,” but work it out so you will exhibit the evidence of a life based with determined, unshakable faith on the complete and perfect redemption of the Lord. As you do this, you do not bring an opposing will up against God’s will— God’s will is your will. Your natural choices will be in accordance with God’s will, and living this life will be as natural as breathing. Stubbornness is an unintelligent barrier, refusing enlightenment and blocking its flow. The only thing to do with this barrier of stubbornness is to blow it up with “dynamite,” and the “dynamite” is obedience to the Holy Spirit.’ CHAMBERS

 

Living the Christian life is not a passive experience.  If it was passive, then when we are born again .. and we would live another life … all we would have to do is “be” and the rest would be a byproduct of our new life.  Anyone who has been a Christian for more than a minute knows that living this life is more of a challenge than that.  The “stubbornness” or resistance from our old nature is always present and we must be “focused”, deliberate to stay in line with God’s will.  The power source for this new life is the Holy Spirit in us.  We overcome and walk in the will of God by the power of the Spirit … the food we need to build up our spiritual strength is the Word of God.  It is our “manna” from heaven.  God’s provision for this new life.

 

“My Will” DC Talk

 

“I`m setting the stage for the things I love. And I`m now the man I once couldn`t be.

 

Nothing on earth could now ever move me. I now have the will and the strength a man needs.

 

It`s my will, and I`m not moving, Cause if it`s Your will, then nothing can shake me. It`s my will, to bow and praise You

 

I now have the will to praise my God. Complexity haunts me for I am two men. Entrenched in a battle that I`ll never win.

 

My discipline fails me, my knowledge it fools me. But You are my shelter, all the strength that I need”

 

Amen
