According to Ellen White, knowing God's will 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. It's important to make knowing and doing God's will a priority, rather than following personal inclinations. The sincere question should be, “What wilt Thou have me to do?” (3T 466.4; 4T 53.3) 2. Submission and Prayer: When we pray, we should submit our desires to God, saying, “Not my will, but Thine, be done.” This attitude of humility and surrender is essential for understanding God's guidance. (MH 230.1; GW 218.1) 3. Study of God’s Word: The Bible is the primary source for knowing God's will. Diligent, humble study of Scripture is necessary to gain this knowledge. (8T 63; 4SP 343.2; CE 84.1) 4. Obedience and Practice: As we obey what God has already revealed, He will make further duties clear. Faithful practice of known duties leads to greater understanding. (SC 111.2; 5T 644.1) 5. Guidance and Consecration: By choosing to serve God and surrendering our will to Him, He works in us to accomplish His good pleasure, bringing our whole being under Christ’s control. (MH 176.2) In summary, Ellen White teaches that knowing God's will comes through earnest seeking, surrender, prayerful submission, careful Bible study, and practical obedience. As we walk in humble faithfulness, God reveals more of His will to us. References: - Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, p. 466.4; vol. 4, p. 53.3; vol. 5, p. 644.1 - Ellen G.
