According to Ellen White's writings, 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. 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: Gaining knowledge of God comes from studying His word and living a life of daily consecration and service. This leads to the highest development of our character (8T 63). 4. Seeking God’s Will through His Word: We must actively study the Bible, asking God, “What wilt Thou have me to do?” rather than following our own inclinations. God’s will is revealed in His written word, which is essential knowledge (4T 53.3; CE 84.1). 5. Obedience and Light: As we obey the duties God has already made clear to us, He will reveal more. Obedience to known duty brings greater understanding (SC 111.2). 6. Faith and Works: True faith in Christ leads us to desire nothing more than to know and do God’s will. Our faith is made perfect by our actions (5T 644.1). 7. Humble Obedience Brings More Light: Those who walk in humble obedience to God’s purpose will continually receive greater understanding of His will (MH 465.2). Summary: Ellen White teaches that knowing God's will involves earnest seeking, surrendering our own desires, prayerful submission, diligent Bible study, daily consecration, and obedience to what God has already revealed. As we walk in obedience, God continues to reveal more of His will to us. If you’d like more specific examples or guidance, feel free to ask! References: - White, E. G. (1872-1875).
