Discerning “Why is it Important?”

Discerning Does God really want us to understand and know His will? Why is it important that we know what His will is? How does He reveal His will to us? Does He have a specific will for me?

Discerning How do I find out what God’s will is for me? How will He show me? How can I know for sure what is (or is not) God’s will for me? What are the hindrances and obstacles I will face?

Discerning THREE QUESTIONS: 1. Does God really want us to know? 2. Why is it important for us to know God’s will? 3. How does God reveal His will to us?

Discerning A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF… 1. What is on God’s heart. 2. Why He does what He does. 3. How our lives can count.

Discerning “So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding.
