According to Ellen G. 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. It is important to have a sincere desire to know and do God's will, rather than simply following personal inclinations. (3T 466.4; 4T 53.3) 2. Submission and Prayer: When seeking God's will, we should pray with earnestness but also with a spirit of submission, saying, “Not my will, but Thine, be done.” God knows what is best for us and for the world. (MH 230.1; GW 218.1) 3. The Word of God: The Bible is the primary source for understanding God's will. Diligent study of Scripture and daily consecration help us gain true knowledge of God. (8T 63; CE 84.1) 4. Obedience and Light: As we obey the duties that are already clear to us, God will reveal more. Walking in humble obedience leads to greater understanding of His will. (SC 111.2; MH 465.2) 5. Consecration and Service: By choosing to serve God and surrendering our will to Him, He works in us to accomplish His good pleasure. This brings our whole being under Christ’s control. (MH 176.2) 6. Spiritual Understanding: God desires that His followers grow in spiritual understanding, not just in worldly knowledge. (4T 54.3) In summary, Ellen White teaches that knowing God's will comes through earnest seeking, surrender, prayerful submission, diligent Bible study, obedience to what is already revealed, and a consecrated life. As we walk in the light we have, God will continue to reveal more of His will to us.
