Knowing God's will, according to Ellen G. White, is a process that involves several key steps: 1. Surrender and Earnestness: God reveals His will to those who are truly earnest and anxious to be guided. A lack of desire to know and do God's will leads to uncertainty and inefficiency (3T 466.4). 2. Submission in Prayer: When praying, we should always submit our desires to God's will, saying, “Nevertheless not my will, but Thine, be done.” This attitude of submission is essential for all believers (MH 230.1; GW 218.1). 3. Study and Consecration: The knowledge of God comes from studying His word. Daily consecration and service help us grow in true godliness and develop our whole being (8T 63). We should earnestly ask, “What wilt Thou have me to do?” and seek God's guidance rather than following our own inclinations (4T 53.3). 4. Obedience to Known Duty: Jesus taught that those who are willing to do God's will shall understand His teachings. By faithfully performing the duties we already know, God will reveal more to us (SC 111.2). 5. The Bible as the Guide: God's will is clearly revealed in the Bible. Anyone who sincerely seeks to understand the Scriptures will find the path God has set out, and there is no excuse for misunderstanding if we study His word (CE 84.1). 6. Faith and Works: A true Christian desires above all to know and do God's will. Faith in Christ is made perfect by works—by living out what we believe (5T 644.1). 7. Humble Obedience Brings More Light: As we walk in humble obedience and fulfill God's purpose, He will continue to reveal more of His truth to us (MH 465.2). In summary, Ellen White teaches that knowing God's will requires earnest seeking, surrender, prayerful submission, diligent Bible study, obedience to what is already revealed, and a life of faith and consecration. God promises to guide those who sincerely desire to follow Him.
