"Take heart. The way will open. My Spirit shall flow through and sweep away the bitter past." –El Shaddai.
There are many ways I could live today. I could float through space, merely existing, reacting..
Romans 12:1-2
“Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your body a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God this is your spiritual act of worship. do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world but be transformed [metamorphosis] by the renewing of your mind then[only then] you will be able to test and approve what the will of God is His good and pleasing and perfect [His will for you; is good [not only for you but to you], pleasing [not only for you but from you], perfect, complete] will.”
only way to discern His Will for you >> renewing of mind
anything that impacts your calling> HE has a specialized, personalized Will for your life --- you were prewired to be most fulfilled by --
only satisfied, fulfilled by the prewired Will of God…
to bring fame to the Lord Jesus Christ but in order to fulfill; you will have to have the filling and the influence of the Holy Spirit full on in you, whatever He has called you to do you can not do, to discern the will of God is something you fight for in the Spirit—NOT in your natural man…
