According to Ellen G. White's writings, knowing God's will is a process that involves several key steps: 1. Surrender and Seeking Guidance: God reveals His will to those who earnestly desire to be guided by Him. A lack of commitment to knowing and doing God's will leads to uncertainty and confusion (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 surrender is essential, as even Jesus modeled it (MH 230.1; GW 218.1). 3. The Role of God’s Word: The primary way to know God's will is through studying the Bible. True understanding comes from daily consecration and service, not just following personal inclinations (8T 63; 4T 53.3). 4. Obedience and Light: As we obey the duties God has already made clear, He will reveal more to us. Jesus said that those willing to do God's will would understand His teachings (SC 111.2). 5. The Bible as the Guide: God's will is clearly revealed in the Scriptures. Anyone who sincerely seeks to understand will find guidance, and there is no excuse for misunderstanding if we study the Bible (CE 84.1). 6. Faith and Works: A life of faith in Christ naturally leads to a desire to know and do God's will. Faith is made perfect by works—by acting on what God reveals (5T 644.1). 7. Practical Consecration: Those who accept their calling from God and seek to do right will find that God's promises bring clarity and help in daily life and decisions (8T 141.1). 8. Spiritual Understanding: God wants His followers to be wise in spiritual matters, not just in worldly knowledge (4T 54.3). 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 are sincere and willing to follow Him. If you would like more specific examples or further guidance from her writings, please let me know!
