Be in the Will of God Before Asking for Blessings
Hello, welcome to another message. Today I’m going to be sharing another revelation that the Lord gave to me.
What the Lord said to me was this: “It is not just about calling on Me and asking Me to bless you. If you are not in My will, your prayers will be hindered.”
This is something very important for believers to understand. Many people focus only on asking God for blessings, breakthroughs, favor, prosperity, and open doors, but they do not focus enough on being in the will of God.
The will of God must always come first.
If a Man’s Ways Please the Lord
The first scripture I want to talk about says:
If\ a\ man’s\ ways\ please\ the\ Lord,\ He\ makes\ even\ his\ enemies\ to\ be\ at\ peace\ with\ him
This scripture is very deep when you think about it carefully.
Notice that the focus is not first on defeating enemies or receiving blessings. The focus is on pleasing the Lord.
How do we please God?
We please Him by walking in His will, obeying His Word, and living according to His ways.
From the Old Testament to the New Testament, God constantly emphasizes obedience to His Word and alignment with His will.
The Lord told Joshua that the Book of the Law should not depart from his mouth, but that he should meditate on it day and night and observe to do all that is written in it. Then he would make his way prosperous and have good success.
Jesus Himself lived completely in the will of God. Everything He did flowed out of obedience to the Father.
So when a person’s ways please the Lord, God rewards them in many ways.
Sometimes He gives peace.
Sometimes He gives favor.
Sometimes He gives prosperity, health, joy, wisdom, family blessings, divine opportunities, protection, or open doors.
God is the source of every good thing.
Let the Will of God Become Your Obsession
The focus should not only be “Bless me, bless me, bless me.”
The focus should be the will of God.
I love studying the life of Jesus because His life reveals the secrets of spiritual growth. When you study the life of Christ and imitate Him, you begin to grow spiritually.
Paul said:
Imitate\ me\ as\ I\ imitate\ Christ
When you become fascinated with Christ, you become fascinated with the Word of God because Jesus is the Word of God made manifest.
Christ is not merely a picture or a statue.
He is the mercy of God.
He is the wisdom of God.
He is the glory of God.
He is the life of God.
He is spiritual.
So when I say you should be fascinated with Christ, I mean you should become fascinated with His character, His holiness, His love, His mercy, His obedience, and His Word.
The Bible says:
Desire\ the\ sincere\ milk\ of\ the\ word,\ that\ you\ may\ grow\ thereby
As you continually desire the Word of God, the will of God begins to become your greatest desire.
Jesus Was Always Heard Because He Was in God’s Will
Jesus always lived in the will of God, so His prayers were always heard.
He said:
Father,\ I\ thank\ You\ that\ You\ always\ hear\ Me
Jesus had confidence because He knew He was constantly walking in obedience to the Father.
When believers focus first on the will of God, prayer becomes easier. Answers come more naturally because their lives are aligned with God’s purpose.
You begin to walk in fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
You become spiritually alive.
You manifest the fruits of the Holy Spirit and operate in the gifts of the Spirit.
The spiritual begins to control the physical.
That is why believers must learn to live spiritually and not carnally.
Seek First the Kingdom of God
Jesus said:
Seek\ first\ the\ kingdom\ of\ God\ and\ His\ righteousness
Seeking the kingdom of God means seeking His will above everything else.
It means desiring righteousness, holiness, obedience, truth, and fellowship with God.
When God is pleased with you, your life begins to produce the fruits of the Holy Spirit instead of confusion, frustration, fear, and instability.
Godly Fear Leads to Obedience
Jesus Himself had godly fear.
The Bible says He was heard because of His reverence toward God.
He\ was\ heard\ because\ of\ His\ godly\ fear
Godly fear means honoring God, obeying His Word, respecting His authority, and quickly responding to His correction.
God does not change His principles.
He stands by truth, holiness, righteousness, purity, and obedience.
The Bible tells us to think on whatever is true, pure, lovely, holy, and of good report. As you meditate on those things, they begin to shape your life.
Build Your Life on the Rock
Jesus spoke about building your life on the rock instead of the sand.
The\ rain\ descended,\ the\ floods\ came,\ and\ the\ winds\ blew\ and\ beat\ on\ that\ house;\ and\ it\ did\ not\ fall
The rock represents the Word of God and the will of God.
Everyone will face testing, trials, and spiritual battles. Jesus told Peter that Satan had requested to sift him.
But when your life is built on the Word of God, you will stand firm during trials.
Those who build outside the will of God experience instability because their foundation is weak.
That is why believers must build their entire lives on God’s Word.
Ask God While Remaining in His Will
Jesus told believers to ask, seek, and knock.
Prayer is important.
Believers should ask God for what they need.
But being in God’s will should always come before and accompany your asking.
Do not live in disobedience while expecting the blessings of obedience.
The Word of God cleanses and sanctifies believers.
Jesus said:
You\ are\ already\ clean\ because\ of\ the\ word\ which\ I\ have\ spoken\ to\ you
As you obey the Word, your life becomes purified and aligned with God’s will.
That alignment removes unnecessary frustration and opens the way for answered prayers.
Learn to Hear God and Correct Yourself
One important part of spiritual maturity is learning to hear from God.
When something is wrong, believers should seek God for understanding and correction instead of ignoring spiritual warning signs.
The Holy Spirit teaches, guides, corrects, and leads believers back into alignment with God’s will.
That is wisdom.
That is spiritual understanding.
And that is how believers remain victorious.
Prayer
I pray that the Lord helps you to cherish His will.
May you constantly walk according to the ways of the Lord.
May the Lord order your thoughts, direct your paths, and guide your life.
May He be your counselor, your teacher, and your helper.
May you have an active and vibrant relationship with the Holy Spirit.
May the Holy Spirit constantly lead you into spiritual maturity.
May you be awake and alive in the Lord.
May you have continual fellowship with God.
May you manifest the fruits of the Holy Spirit and operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
May the fire of the Lord surround you and fight your battles for you.
May the Lord make you complete through the blood of Jesus Christ.
May He provide for you and give you wisdom and ideas for success and prosperity.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Have a blessed day. Bye.

Power is God’s will for you. May the presence of God follow you everywhere you go, in Jesus name. May goodness and mercy follow you all the days of your life.
The goodness and mercy of God is His glory, grace, fire and presence.
When God is with you no power can defeat you.
Pray! Pray!
Seek God’s face and presence everyday. Pay the price in constant fellowship with God, prayer, bible reading and meditation, praise, worship and thanksgiving.
God’s word and presence will give you life and glory. That is God’s will for you. Power is God’s will for you but you must fight in prayer and never ever give up.
Luke 18:1,
Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart.
May God teach your hands to fight and make war until you become a fire carrier that no witch or demon can withstand, in Jesus name, amen.
The devil fears a believer who knows the Word, understands the power they have in Christ, refuses to surrender to fear, and keeps standing even when life becomes difficult.
May the Lord give you the courage and strength to cast out the devil in Jesus name, Amen.
