Absolutes of God's will for your life

Have you ever heard someone say, “God moves in mysterious ways”? I sure am glad that statement isn't true. The will of God doesn't have to be mysterious. 

Here are some things you can absolutely count on.

1. God’s will is salvation. 

1. Our heavenly Father desires that all of humankind have eternal life with Him. 
2. That includes you.
1. Titus 2:11 "For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. 12 And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, 13 while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed. 14 He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds."
3. God's will and desire is that all will be saved, He has revealed that to the world.
4. The church, Christianity's sole mission is to share that great news with all. 
1. Christ gave His life to free us now we need to totally commit our life to doing good.

2. God’s will is dominion. 

1. Dominion simply means control. 
2. God wants you to apply His Word and take control of your body, thought life, attitude, and future.
1. Many think they will never be able to find God's will, God's purpose, or God's plan when in fact He told us to rule or have dominion over all the earth.
1. 1 Peter 4:10 "God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.11 Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen."
2. All dominion is God's to give and He gave authority to mankind to rule the earth.
3. God gave His son Jesus Christ all authority, all power, and all dominion forever and ever.

3. God’s will is discipleship. 

1. We are to grow in our walk with Christ. 
1. Growing is a sign of life.
2. Stagnation, decay, or rotting is a sign of death.
1. Many think they are living when in reality they are dying through religion, traditions, attitude, rebellion, operation in the flesh, or in battling their sin nature. 
2. Jesus came to give us life and that life abundantly. 
3. As we mature we are to help others do the same.
1. Every "disciple of Christ" should be making, creating, "disciples of Christ."
2. Who are you mentoring?
3. Who are you bringing closer to God?
4. Who are you encouraging and sharpening in their faith?

4. God’s will is unity. 

1. Your words and actions must be united with God’s Word.
1. God's Word is our measuring apparatus, not people, programs, ideas, or structure. 
2. Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable."
1. With each of  us being accountable to God for every action, every word, and every deed, who else matters? 
1. Respectfully, if you refuse to live life to it's fullest because you are rejecting God's plan, God's way, God's heart, or God's rescue then what a sad life to live. 

5. God’s will is stewardship. 

1. We are to take proper care of our time, money, abilities, and all God has entrusted us with.
1. Stewardship-a person who manages another's property or financial affairs. 
1. God has entrusted me to manage His things, His finances that He blesses me with, His children that He has blessed me with, His resources that I manage for Him. WOW!
2. This is such a powerful opportunity, and weighty responsibility that I do not want to fail in. 
3. Luke 16:10 "If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities.11 And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?12 And if you are not faithful with other people's things, why should you be trusted with things of your own?"
1. What a responsibility Christianity has, what an enormous responsibility the global church has. 

6. God’s will is relationships. 

1. Through the power of relationships, you will be able to accomplish things that would be impossible if you were alone.
1. Galatians 6:1 "Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer* is overcome by some sin, you who are godly* should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.2 Share each other's burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.3 If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important."
   

7. God’s will is progressive. 

1. God has a plan for your life that will be completed one step at a time, not in leaps or bounds.
1. Grow in Him daily!

NO LIMITS

Dreaming dreams.
• Do you have a dream?
• A cherished aspiration, ambition, or ideal?
• People have so many dreams for their lives but
are they God dreams?
0.Do you have a God dream?
A. If it's a God dream it'll be beyond your
gifting, talent, and ability to prove to the
world that it was definitely Him and not
you.


Genesis 41:32 (NLT) "As for having two similar
dreams, it means that these events have been
decreed by God, and he will soon make them
happen."

Daniel 1:17 (NLT)
"God gave these four young men an unusual
aptitude for understanding every aspect of
literature and wisdom. And God gave Daniel the
special ability to interpret the meanings of visions and dreams."

Acts 2:17 (NLT)
"'In the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my
Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will
prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and
your old men will dream dreams."

D. God speaks to people through visions,
His Word, worship, preaching, others, and
through dreams.
E.What could He be saying to you?
F.A dream from God will haunt you, encourage
you, navigate you and fulfill you.

1.Joseph had a dream.
• He was a dreamer.
• Dreaming that God would use him in a
mighty, powerful, and supernatural way but it
all started with a dream.
• His God dream was for a future and a hope
to the nations from God but when he began
to share a portion of the dream with his
family they did not like what was being said
to them.
• When you begin to talk about a dream you
feel God has placed in your heart be careful
who you share your dream with, be careful
who you dream with, be assured that they
have a dream for God or they might steal
yours.

2.Dreams are dangerous.
1.How dangerous are you?
2.If dreams were dynamite would you have
enough to blow your nose.
3.Many people, when setting out in the world,
and dreaming dreams think of nothing but
prosperity and pleasure, they never dream of
trouble, frustration, or lack.
4.Who sits around thinking about "Man, I can't
wait to get busted for..."
5."I'm so glad this isn't working out!"
6."That's okay I'll just save more money and try
it all again even though this flopped."
• But be sure...if you have a God dream that
He has spoken to you, there will be a price
to pay to achieve it! I promise.
• You will not be able to live, dwell and
operate in just your flesh to get a hold of
God's dream for you.

3. Your dream will keep you focused on your
dream.
• When you have a God dream you will be
focused on accomplishing it.
G. I see so many people living life
haphazardly with no dream, no purpose, no
vision for their life and they end up hurting
people, hurting themselves, and ultimately
hurting eternity because of their selfishness.
• When you have a God dream there are
No Limits to what you will lay down to
achieve that dream.
• There is no attitude, there is no
offense, there is no addiction, there is
no temptation that will keep you from
achieving His plan for you.
• I refuse to let the enemy destroy what
God has designed for me.
• There are No Limits of thinking, No
Limits of Financial want or need, No Limits
of criticism, No Limits of fear, No Limits of
education or any other Limit that will keep
me from reaching all out for God.
• I live my life in reference to the dream.
• I treat my wife, love my wife,
encourage my wife in relation to the
dream.
• I parent my children in reference to the
dream.
• I make my life's decisions in
correspondence with the dream.
• I don't have time for missing the goal,
I don't have time for not achieving, I don't
have time for frustration, inaction, or lack.

Genesis 41 The dream of Pharaoh.

• God has a dream for you, what did He
blueprint, engineer, and design?

Genesis 40:8 (NLT)
And they replied, "We both had dreams
last night, but no one can tell us what they
mean." "Interpreting dreams is God's business," Joseph replied. "Go ahead and tell me your dreams."

4. Don't dodge the dream.

Genesis 39:2-4 (NLT)
"The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in
everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master. [3] Potiphar noticed this and realized that the Lord was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did. [4] This pleased Potiphar, so he soon made Joseph his personal attendant. He put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned."

B. Joseph dreamed a dream, shared it with his
family, was then sold into slavery, and his 11
brothers faked his death.
C.Joseph saves all his family through a major
drought, and depression when there were no
other options.


Genesis 47:5-6 (NLT)
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Now that your
father and brothers have joined you here, [6]
choose any place in the entire land of Egypt for
them to live. Give them the best land of Egypt. Let them live in the region of Goshen. And if any of them have special skills, put them in charge of my livestock, too."

I believe if there were a word from God to us on a daily basis it would be, "Stop limiting Me(God) and allow Me to take you to No Limits."
