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. Surrendering your own will to God is essential for understanding His direction (3T 466.4). 2. Prayerful Submission: When praying, it’s important to submit your desires to God’s will, just as Jesus did in Gethsemane by saying, “Nevertheless not my will, but Thine, be done” (MH 230.1; GW 218.1). 3. Study of God’s Word: The Bible is the primary source for knowing God’s will. Careful, humble study of Scripture is foundational, rather than simply following personal inclinations (8T 63; 4T 53.3). 4. Obedience to Known Duty: Acting on what God has already revealed to you leads to greater understanding. As you perform every duty made plain, you will be enabled to understand and perform those things that are still unclear (SC 111.2). 5. Faith and Consecration: A life of faith and full consecration to Christ is necessary to discern God’s will. The soul that lives by faith desires nothing more than to know and do God’s will (5T 644.1). 6. Practical Application: God’s will is revealed in His written word, and those who walk in humble obedience will continue to grow in understanding (CE 84.1; MH 465.2). In summary, Ellen White teaches that knowing God’s will involves earnest seeking, surrender, prayerful submission, diligent Bible study, obedience to what you already know, and a life of faith and consecration. God’s will becomes clearer as you are willing to follow and obey Him. If you would like more specific examples or further guidance from her writings, please let me know! References: - Ellen G.
