Notes:

When we discuss God’s will, we often think about decisions like choosing a job or a partner or figuring out how sickness or accidents fit into God’s plan. But the Bible purposely connects God’s will to specific things related to our relationships—with God, ourselves, and others.

In this episode, Ross O’Hair speaks with Mark Fields, CFT’s life coach, about what the Bible states regarding God’s will for people on this earth. Mark shares his insights, revealing a significant shift he has had in how he understands God’s will. This episode goes beyond typical debates, urging us to explore the joy of an intimate relationship with Jesus.

Philippians 2:12-13 – “So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.”

1 Thessalonians 5:15-18 – “See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people. Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

1 Peter 2:13-15 – “Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.”

Romans 12:2 – “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”
