Thirdly, Luke 9:23 declares that God's will is for us to
"follow Him." So, what does it mean to follow Him? John
10:27 gives us the answer: "My sheep hear My voice, and I
know them, and they follow Me." Following God means that
we are to listen to His voice, and only His voice, and then go
where He leads.
Here are some important things to know about listening
to God's voice:
1. You must bring God into every aspect of your life.
This happens through prayerful fellowship throughout
the day, studying and meditating on God's Word,
and truly desiring to do His will in all situations.
2. You must be ready and willing to obey God's Word in
every area of life.
This means surrendering your life and will to God so
that whatever His Word tells you becomes your
heart's desire.
3. You can't be practicing sin and expect to hear God's
voice.
When you are practicing sin (doubting, worrying,
being bitter, having an unforgiving heart, etc.), you
have broken your fellowship with the Lord, and so you
can't hear His voice.
4. You must give up what you think God should do and
accept what He says to do.
When you are holding on to something that you really
want, such as not wanting to move or leave your
comfort zone or have to forgive someone, you can't
truly be open to what God is trying to show you
because your personal preference is affecting your
perspective. To know God's will you must surrender
your will!
