The Happiest Place On Earth – Week 2
May 21, 2022

Where Is The Happiest Place On Earth?
Romans 12:1-2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Three Ways To Live
Out – Of God’s Will
Partially – In God’s Will
Completely – In God’s Will

Not Everything That Is Happening On Earth Is The Will Of God

Col 4:12
Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

How Do We Live In His Perfect Will?

1. Develop A Willing Heart
John 7:17
If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

2. Live By God’s Word
John 15:7-8
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

3. Listen To God’s Spirit
We Listen With Our Heart Not Our Head

His Language Is Love
His Motive Is Pure
His Results Are Freedom

Luke 11:9-13
9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

John 16:12-15
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

We Have A Mind and We Should Use It and Develop it But Don’t Rely On It For Direction

Romans 8:14-17
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

4. Obedience
Mark 14:35-36
He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. 36 And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”

Luke 11:27-28 AMP
Now while Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed (happy, favored by God) is the womb that gave birth to You and the breasts at which You nursed!”
But He said, “On the contrary, blessed (happy, favored by God) are those who hear the word of God and continually observe it.”

Proverbs 4:18
But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

The Further You Go The Clearer Things Get

Proverbs 3:6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. 8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. 9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.

Walking In His Will Always Requires You To Trust Him

Develop A Willing Heart
Live By The Word
Listen To God’s Spirit
Obey
