According to Ellen White’s writings, knowing God’s will involves several key steps: 1. Surrender and Earnestness: God reveals His will to those who are truly earnest and anxious to be guided. Surrendering your own will and being sincere in seeking God’s direction is essential (3T 466.4). 2. Submission in Prayer: When you pray, it’s important to submit your desires to God, saying, “Not my will, but Thine, be done.” Jesus modeled this attitude in Gethsemane, showing us the importance of trusting God’s wisdom above our own (MH 230.1; GW 218.1). 3. Study and Obedience: To know God’s will, you must study the Bible and not simply follow your own inclinations. Ask God, “What wilt Thou have me to do?” and seek answers through His Word and a consecrated life (4T 53.3; 8T 63). 4. Willingness to Act: Be willing to do what God has already revealed to you. As you faithfully follow what you know, God will make further duties clear (SC 111.2). 5. Obedience and Faith: A life of faith and obedience is closely connected to understanding God’s will. Those who live by faith desire above all to know and do God’s will (5T 644.1). 6. The Bible as the Guide: God’s will is revealed in the Scriptures, which are the essential source of knowledge for every believer (CE 84.1). In summary, Ellen White teaches that knowing God’s will comes through earnest seeking, surrender, prayerful submission, diligent Bible study, willingness to obey, and living by faith. God promises to guide those who are sincere and ready to follow His leading.
