Acts Sunday, the Will of God

Pastor Booker 
The Will of God 

When our submission to Scripture turns from self-exalting to Jesus exalting, we begin to understand the will of God. 

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. 

95% of our life is unpremeditated. In other words, we are acting out before we think. 

Luke 6:45 - out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. 

God is more concerned about your character, heart, and transformation than about our knowledge of His will. 
I'd like to hear the Biblical basis for that. It sounds like He's putting words in God's mouth. *shrugs* 

We want to know the answer so we can move forward. God wants us to move forward so we can be in the answer. 

We want a crystal ball more than we want transformation. We don't want to just sit at Jesus' feet and say take my life. 

I wanna sit at Your feet
Drink from the cup in Your hand 
Lay back against You and breathe 
Feel Your heartbeat
This love is so deep
It's more than I can stand 
I melt in Your peace 
It's overwhelming 

How do we get our heart in the right place so we're making the right decisions? 
We have to train to hear His voice. Are we near the Shepherd? 

There is a lot to pray about. 

Don't be concerned with where you're going, just be concerned that it's with Jesus.
