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. 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 central to understanding God’s will (MH 230.1; GW 218.1). 3. Study and Obedience: To know God’s will, you must study the Bible and be willing to obey what you learn, rather than simply following your own inclinations. Ask sincerely, “What wilt Thou have me to do?” (4T 53.3; 8T 63). 4. Progressive Understanding: As you obey what God has already revealed to you, He will make further duties and truths clear. Understanding God’s will is a progressive journey (SC 111.2). 5. The Bible as the Guide: God’s will is primarily revealed in the Scriptures. The Bible is the essential source for understanding His guidance (CE 84.1). 6. Faith and Works: Knowing God’s will is closely connected to living by faith and putting that faith into action. Faith in Christ is made perfect by works (5T 644.1). In summary, Ellen White teaches that knowing God’s will is a process rooted in surrender, prayerful submission, diligent Bible study, obedience to what is already known, and a life of faith and action. As you follow these steps, your understanding of God’s will grows clearer. References: - Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, p. 466.4; vol. 4, p. 53.3; vol. 5, p. 644.1 - Ellen G.
