Have you ever asked that of God? Of course you have. God, what is it you want or ask of me? What is Your will for my life? Are you looking for an audible answer, are you looking for major hints? What about turning to the answer book.....God's word, the Bible. The answer is there, plain and simple and hit me like a ton of bricks. God's will for my life, your life, and for every born again believer walking this planet is there clear and present for you to see in Matthew... Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Yeah that one. Our command to action. It is God's will that we take what he has done through Jesus and spread it through out this world. Each and every one of us. This is not just for the professionals or ministers or missionaries, it is for you and it is for me.
Here in lies an issue for us. We are programmed for receiving information. Not many of us are programmed for reproducing information. We as Christians have all the knowledge, resources, and information most will ever need and we receive more day by day. It is time we take this info and reproduce it. (make disciples). One of my favorite thoughts is "life change is a function of action" If we really want to see life change, not only in us but in others we must obey God and obey His will for our lives and "go / make/ baptize /teach" Notice all action words. Nothing here about needing to receive more information or "boy I needed that today" or "the sermon was great today it really hit home" and on and on. All good but let's go and do something with it.
Reproduce not just receive. reACT

So I guess the question is not *Can we decipher God's will for our lives? But the question should be, * Will we obey God's will for our lives?
