Ephesians 5:17
King James Version
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise,
but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Have we any idea what GOD's will is?
Do we care to know?
Do we believe in God, at all?
Who do we trust?
What has proven us right?
What has proven us wrong?
As born again, I am consistent within myself.
I trust the WORD of GOD alone.
I only care to love GOD, to know everything about JESUS, and be taught by the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD every moment.
1 Corinthians 2:2
King James Version
2 For I determined
not to know any thing among you,
save Jesus Christ,
and him crucified.
If you want to know God's will, turn to SCRIPTURE.
And here's what the Bible says:
Hebrews 13:20-21
King James Version
20 Now the God of peace,
that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great shepherd of the sheep,
through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will,
working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight,
through Jesus Christ;
to whom be glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily,
I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
John 14:1

John 7:16-18
King James Version
16 Jesus answered them,
and said,
My doctrine is not mine,
but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will,
he shall know of the doctrine,
whether it be of God,
or whether I speak of myself.
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory:
but he that seeketh his glory that sent him,
the same is true,
and no unrighteousness is in him.

and I will hearken unto you.

but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess;
but be filled with the Spirit;

and spiritual songs,
singing and making melody in your heart
to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always
for all things unto God and the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
