Knowing God's will, according to Ellen White's writings, 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 intentional in seeking God's direction is essential (3T 466.4). 2. Submission in Prayer: When you pray, follow Christ's example by saying, "Not my will, but Thine, be done." This attitude of submission, as shown by Jesus in Gethsemane, is crucial (MH 230.1; GW 218.1). 3. Study and Obedience: To know God's will, study His word and obey what He has already revealed. Ask sincerely, "What wilt Thou have me to do?" and be willing to follow through (4T 53.3; SC 111.2). 4. The Bible as the Guide: God's will is clearly revealed in the Bible, which defines our duty and provides essential knowledge (CE 84.1). 5. Consecration and Service: Daily consecration and service to God help you understand His will more deeply (8T 63). 6. Faith and Works: A living faith in Christ, combined with practical works, leads to a deeper knowledge of God's will (5T 644.1). 7. Practical Application: Trusting God and being a doer of His word brings clarity and wisdom to everyday decisions (8T 141.1). In summary, knowing God's will means surrendering your own desires, earnestly seeking guidance, studying and obeying the Bible, consecrating your life to God, and combining faith with practical action. Submission in prayer and a willingness to follow God's leading are essential.
