According to Ellen White, 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. A lack of desire to know and do God's will leads to uncertainty (3T 466.4). 2. Submission in Prayer: When we pray, we should submit our desires to God, saying, “Not my will, but Thine, be done,” trusting that He knows what is best for us and for the world (MH 230.1; GW 218.1). 3. Study and Consecration: To know God's will, we must study His word and seek His guidance rather than simply following our own inclinations. Daily consecration and service help us grow in understanding (4T 53.3; 8T 63). 4. Obedience and Light: As we obey the duties God has already made clear, He will reveal more to us. Willingness to do His will leads to greater understanding (SC 111.2). 5. The Bible as Guide: God's will is revealed in the Bible, which is our essential source of knowledge. Continued humble obedience brings deeper insight into His purposes (CE 84.1; MH 465.2). 6. Faith and Works: A life of faith in Christ, combined with a desire to do God's will, leads to spiritual growth. Faith is made perfect by works (5T 644.1). In summary, Ellen White teaches that knowing God's will comes through earnest seeking, surrender, prayerful submission, diligent Bible study, obedience, and a life of faith and consecration. God reveals His will to those who are willing to follow and obey, and the Bible is the primary source for understanding His will.
