In order that we may discern God's will for us, we have to be constantly in prayer, listening to his voice.

The will of God for all people is revealed clearly in the Holy Bible. God desires all men to be saved(cf 1 Tim 2:4) through faith in Jesus Christ because Jesus has paid the penalty for the sins of all by his sacrificial death on the cross of Calvary.

Jesus is not concerned about eternal salvation alone. Our temporal welfare and emotional stability are very much part of the Lord's primary concern for us. "Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you" ( 1 Pt 5:7).

Jesus says, "Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God and believe in me"(Jn14:1). Jesus is our peace.

The Risen Lord, when he appeared to his disciples for the first time, said, "Peace be with you" (Jn 20:19). He had earlier stated: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives, do I give to you" (Jn 14:17).

In a broken and shattered world, peace is what humanity needs more than anything else. And Jesus "is our peace" (Eph2:14). Every believer is given the grace of forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God the Father, through faith in Jesus Christ.
 
 

"Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and, all these things will be given to you as well" (Mt 6:33). This then, is the will of God-that his children may "Prosper in every respect and be in good health, just as the soul prospers" (3 Jn 2). God wants that his children should have enough of food, clothing, shelter and every other need for the upbringing of their families.
 
 

Jesus always did the will of God. The Holy Spirit was always with him. Jesus was never ill; he was always healthy. This is God's will for every chosen person-to remain in sound health of body, mind and soul. In the book of Exodus 15:26, we have a powerful promise from God: "I am the God who heals you." Of course it is only when we obey his statutes and commandments that this promise holds good. Prosperity of every kind and the promise of good health are offered to every believer who obeys his words.
 
 

"Servanthood" or living the life of a servant of God is extremely pleasing to God. This is not to keep us slaves of God, but to prepare us for receiving "the abundant life" (Jn 10:10) which is the life in the Holy Spirit as promised by Jesus when we die to ourselves. We will receive this abundant life when we surrender completely all our own plans to do the will of God. Listen to God's unfailing promise: "Indeed, upon my servants and my hand maids, I will pour out my Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. And I will work wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below" (Acts 2: 18-19).
 
 

Life in the Holy Spirit, and other gifts of the Holy Spirit-physical health, mental well-being and material welfare are stolen and destroyed by the enemy, the devil who is a liar and a murderer.

Lord Jesus is empowering every believer to take authority over the enemy who has stolen and destroyed many of the good things that God has given to his people. The devil is the thief, "Yet if he is caught, he must pay back seven times more; he must give up everything he has"(Prov 6:31).

According to this verse of the book of Proverbs, the Christian believer can take authority over Satan, binding him and commanding him to pay back seven times what he has destroyed or stolen.

Great and loving is our God who has given such authority and privilege over the powers of darkness to protect his people from the snares and destruction of the evil one.
