Title of my message is: The Plans

(Proverbs 19:21) (NLT) \u201cYou can make many plans, but the Lord\u2019s purpose will prevail.\u201d

(John 16:13) (NLT) \u201cWhen the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.\u201d

(2 Timothy 4:3-4 LB)\xa0 \u201cThere is going to come a time when people won\u2019t listen to the truth but will go around looking for teachers who will tell them just what they want to hear.\xa0 They won\u2019t listen to what the Bible says but will blithely follow their own misguided ideas.\u201d

(John 16:13) (NLT) \u201cWhen the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.\u201d

The 3 Faces of God\u2019s Will\xa0

1.\xa0\xa0\xa0 His Sovereign will.

2.\xa0\xa0\xa0 His Moral will.

3.\xa0\xa0\xa0 His Personal will.

(Psalm 139:16) \u201c\u2026your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.\u201d

(Romans 8:28) (NLT) \u201cAnd we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.\u201d

(Philippians 1:6) \u201cbeing confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.\u201d

What am I doing in my life that I should not be doing?

What\u2019s in my life that is not like the Lord?

What is it that\u2019s in my life that doesn\u2019t line up with His convictions?

(Romans 6:1-2)\xa0 \u201cWhat shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means!\u201d

(Hebrews 2:1) \u201cWe must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.\u201d

(Hebrews 12:2) \u201cLet us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.\u201d

How to read the plans.

1.\xa0\xa0\xa0 Give your life to God
(Matthew 18:14) \u201cIn the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.\u201d

(1 Peter 4:2)(NLT) \u201cYou won\u2019t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God.\u201d

(1 Peter 4:3)(NLT) \u201cYou have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy\u2014their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols.\u201d

2.\xa0\xa0\xa0 Allow your mind to be transformed.
(Romans 12:2) (NLT) \u201cDon\u2019t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God\u2019s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.\u201d

3.\xa0\xa0\xa0 Connect to God\u2019s plan.
(Ephesians 2:10) \u201cFor we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.\u201d
