there are three ways that we can

learn we can learn by

explanation and that's the way we learn

so many things algebra and

cooking mechanical things we learn by

explanation it's also possible to learn

by experience now some things are best

learned by experience if you're going to

learn how to swim or play tennis get out

and do it you don't on how to swim by

watching movies or listening to lectures

there some things you should never learn by

experience it's too bad that uh some

young people have the idea that we older

ones don't know what we're talking about

and so they have to learn the hard way

and so you can learn by explanation or

you can learn by

experience or you can learn by

example and we're going to consider

tonight Jonah as example of someone who

had difficulty with the will of God

during these Sunday evenings we're

answering some crucial questions about

the will of God we're seeking to go

beneath the

surface and discover a little bit

more go a little bit deeper in this

matter of knowing and understanding the

will of God now Jonah is the example the

classic example of a man who wrestled

with the will of God and sought to

obstruct the will of

God which raises the interesting

question how much can you and I as

Believers get in God's

way I think that the Book of Jonah

presents to us and Jonah himself

presents to us three basic

lessons about the will of

God first of all Jonah teaches us a

lesson in discovering the will of of

God discovering the will of God now

you'll remember last Sunday evening I

said to you that there are three

approaches to the will of God that are

wrong I don't advise you to use them we

gave names to them for convenience sake

the mystical approach this is the

approach that says empty your mind don't

consider any facts don't investigate

anything just to your mind and wait upon

God and you'll get a feeling and you'll

you'll know what you're supposed to do

this is the mystical

approach and if you go by your feelings

you'll know the will of God the second

wrong approach we call the mechanical

approach this says that the will of God

is a

machine and you're a part of a machine

and if anything goes wrong if you

disobey him you're done for the machine

comes to a stop you can't trade it in

for a new new model you can't repair it you're

you're

through the third approach we call the

dictatorial approach this is the

approach that says you are on the throne

of your life and to really know God's

will you get off of the throne and Jesus

gets on the throne and from then on he

rules everything and I said that was

wrong because you cannot get off the

throne and stay off the throne and still

be a

person Romans 5 say 17 doesn't say that

Christ Reigns instead of us it says we

reign in life through one Jesus Christ

Paul did not say Christ does all things

instead of me Christ does all things in

spite of me Paul said I can do all

things through Christ who strengtheneth

me now in Jonah chap 1 we we have

evidence that the mystical approach doesn't

doesn't

work because in Jonah chap 1 the word of

the Lord came unto Jonah the son of amii

saying arise go to Nineveh that great

City and cry against it for their

wickedness is come up before me but

Jonah rose up to flee unto tares the

opposite direction from the presence of

the Lord now Jonah knew he couldn't run

away from God because Psalm 139 says you

can't do that to run from the presence

of the Lord means to resign a prophet

stood in the presence of the

Lord and so Jonah was saying oh God I'm

not going to go to Nineveh instead of

going to Nineveh I'm going to resign

here's my resignation I'm

through now you know the story how he

went down to japa whenever you turn away

from God's will you always go down he

went down to japa he found a ship going

to tares he paid the fair and went down

into it to go with them unto tares from

the presence of the Lord but the Lord

sent out a great wind into the sea and

there was a mighty Tempest in the sea so

that the ship was in danger of being

broken and the Mariners were afraid now

when the sailors get scared watch

out I can understand land lbers getting

scared but not Sailors the sailors were

very much afraid they started crying out

to their gods they started lightening

the ship but Jonah was gone down that's

the third time we have that

adverb Jonah was gone down into the

sides of the ship and he lay and was

fast asleep I've had people say to me oh

Pastor I've considered this decision and

I have real peace in my heart about it

here's a fellow who had

peace now Jonah was a land lobber the

the Jewish people buying and large do

not like did not like the

water the water to them was was a

dangerous place they they were they were

people who liked the land the mountains

and the ground I I I admire them for

that I'm the same way I do not like the

water here's Jonah sound asleep now he's

out of the will of God the word of the

Lord came saying go this way and Jonah

went that way and he had peace in his

heart about

it now you watch out for this mystical

approach that gives you a good feeling

any good feeling you have that's

contrary to the word of God is a bad

feeling it shows there something wrong

so the mystical approach in chapter 1

just doesn't work now let's take the

mechanical approach the mechanical

approach says oh if you make a mistake

you're done for if you if you disobey

the will of God you're

through well in Chapter 2 Jonah wakes up

and finds out he's in the innards of

this great fish they've thrown him in

the water and God prepared a great fish

and he starts to pray then Jonah prayed

too B didn't pray back in chapter one

would have been better then Jonah prayed

and Jonah confesses his sin to

God he says I will look toward your Holy

Temple that's the Old Testament version

of 1 John 1:9 when the temple was

dedicated Solomon

said if any of your children are far

away and they've sinned and they look

toward your temple hear them and forgive

them and Jonah says I'm going to look

toward the temple I'm going to look

toward God and I'm going to ask him to

forgive me and God forgave him now these

people who believe in the Machinery

approach to the will of God you're a cog

in some kind of a machine if you make a

mistake you're through have a hard time

with this because chapter 3 starts and

the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the

second time oh you can't do that Lord

can't do that the Machinery is broken

down oh really the will of God is not a

mechanical thing it's a living

thing I have said more than once from

this pulpit and it Bears repeating that

my relationship to God is not a

mechanical thing you drop in your

quarter and push a b and c and out comes

the product it's a living relationship

and just as two friends can have a falling

falling

out and be reconciled so my heavenly

father and I can have a falling out and be

reconciled just as some part of my body

can go wrong and I keep on living and

other parts compensate for it so in the

will of God I can disobey God and God

rules and overrules and

compensates but he doesn't quit he gave

Abraham a second chance he gave David a

second chance and a third chance and a

fourth chance

he gave Peter a second chance how many

chances have you

had now don't ever let the devil come to

you and say oh because you did this

you're through Machinery is broken down oh

no that mechanical approach is dead

wrong now let's take the dictatorial

approach chapter

3 this is the one I'm the most afraid of

and when I discuss this I am not

criticizing any organization or

any any grp

group get off the throne Let Jesus on

the throne let him run your

life I maintain he can't run my life if

I'm off the

throne I have to control my hands I'm

not a robot I have to control my feet I

have to control my mind I have to

control my eyes and my tongue he won't

do it instead of me he has to do it

through me and so chapter 3 tells me

that there was a king in Nineveh and he

heard the word of God the word of God

said reent in 40 days Nineveh shall be

overthrown you know what the king did he

got off the throne and took off his robe

he put on sackcloth and

Ashes but he was still the

king the only difference was now he and

God were running the

kingdom he didn't get off the throne and

say Lord you come and sit in the

throne he got off the throne and God

said okay let's get back on and let's do

it together together that's dedication

my friends dedication doesn't mean you

try to get off the Throne of your life

you cease to exist I won't think which

isn't too hard for some Christians I

won't do the No No dedication means I

say Lord I'm getting off the throne you

get on and he gets on then when he gets

on the throne he says now come on back

up here let's sit together and let's

work this out together we re in life

through Jesus Christ Romans 5:17 the

King was still the king even though he

had humbled himself

now how do we discover the will of God

how did Jonah discover the will of God

through the word of God the word of the

Lord came unto Jonah saying arise and go

I maintain dear people that no one can

know the will of God apart from the word

of God oh you say I go by

circumstances Jonah went by

circumstances he was running away from

God there was a ship waiting for him how

about that if he'd been like some people

I know he would said isn't this

marvelous I must be in the Lord's will

there was a ship waiting going right

where I want to go now back in Jonah's

day you couldn't pick up a ship to tares

any day it wasn't like going out to

O'Hare Field and saying well there's 15

flights to New York and 22 flights to

Los Angeles if I miss the 2:00 flight

there's one at 2:30 uh-uh these ships

were uh were more like Amtrak you

weren't quite sure when they

would be

there and so Jonah is running away from

the will of God you railroad people who

forgive me Jonah is running away from

the will from the will of God and he

finds a ship waiting for him he say oh

this might it shows I'm doing the right

thing he had the money to pay for it

on you can't go just by circumstances

alone you can't go by feelings his

feelings were great he was so peaceful

he went to sleep in a storm

I know where I would have been if I were

on that

storm how did Jonah know what did God

wanted him to do the word of God told

him now you take circumstances plus

feelings plus the word of God you may

have a good combination you have

circumstances alone watch out you have

feelings alone watch out the word of God

is what guides us the word of the Lord

came a second time unto Jonah saying

arise go to Nineveh and preach the

preaching I bid you

so that Christian who spends time in the

word of God is going to know the will of

know now I want us to page through the

New Testament for a few

minutes I dare

you I dare you to get your concordance

out and find those verses that

specifically tell us the will of God can

I show you a few of them let's start in

second Corinth

Corinthians anything in my life that

disobeys any of these verses is out of

God's will 2 Corinthians 8:5 here's a

verse that tells us what God's will is

Paul's talking about the generous giving

of the churches in Macedonia 2 Corinthians

Corinthians

8:5 and this they did not as we hoped

but first gave themselves to the Lord

and to Us by the will of God you say

what's the will of God for my life to

give yourself to God and to other

people but Jonah didn't do that God said

Jonah I want to give yourself I want you

to give yourself to those ninevites oh

not on your life Lord you made a mistake

they had too many holes in the computer

card you got the wrong

fella you see he violated the word of

God not at this point

stop then why read anything further if

in my life something comes that keeps me

from giving myself to God or giving

myself to others I'm out of God's

will well let's try Galatians chapter 1 verse

verse

4 talking about our lord

Jesus who gave himself for our sins that

he might Deliver Us from this present

evil age according to the will of God

and our father anything that gets me

involved in this present evil world is

out of God's will I don't have to pray

wrong well let's try first Thessalonians

three for this is the will of God can't

get much clearer than that even the King

James can be

understood for this is the of God even

your sanctification you're being set

apart oh but Jonah got involved in this

present evil world he threw his lot in

with a bunch of pagan Sailors oh but

separated he was not set

apart that's pretty obvious anything

that takes away my position of being set

apart for God is out of God's will

you can go to Washington DC and rent the

Armory you can rent the

stadium you can't rent the White House

special well how about 1 Thessalonians

chap 5 Verse

18 in everything give thanks for this is

the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning

concerning

you the instant Jonah became critical

instead of thankful he was out of God's

will the will of the Lord came to him

saying go to Nineveh you know what Jonah

should have done should have done what

David does back in the Psalms many times

you find David saying oh Lord I don't

want to do this oh Lord I don't

understand what you're doing Jonah

should have said Lord I don't want to go

to Nineveh but you want me to go and I

should be thankful for this now help me

to have a thankful Spirit instead of a critical

critical

spirit you know what would do wonders

for our Christian lives if at the

beginning of every day we'd pray like

this oh God help me today in everything

to give thanks because the minute a

Christian ceases to be

thankful he starts to be disobedient

because it's God's will for us to give

2:15 for so it is the will of God that

with well doing you may put to silence

the ignorance of foolish man he's

talking here about witnessing verse 13

submit yourselves to every ordinance of

man for the Lord's

sake he goes on to talk about Governors

and so forth why it's the will of God

it's the will of God that by your lives

you might put to to silence the stupid

things that stupid people say Jonah

didn't do that Jonah wasn't a witness

Jonah was um an opportunity for God to lose

lose

Glory so it's the will of God that I do

well that I do good not evil Jonah

almost caused a shipload of people to

perish let me say this by way of parenthesis

parenthesis

we are prone to say the world's in a

mess because of unsaved

people the world is really in a mess

because of Christians who are out of the

will of God Abraham got out of the will

of God and brought judgment down upon

Egypt David got out of the will of God

and brought judgment down upon his

family and his Nation Jonah got out of

the will of God and brought judgment

down upon a bunch of UN save Pagan

Sailors you know why he wasn't doing

good how about 1 Timothy 2 and verse

God who will have all men to be saved

and to come unto the knowledge of the

truth oh Jonah God's will is that people

get saved go to Nineveh and win people

oh I don't want to do that now this is

the positive side who will have all men

to be saved 2 Peter 3:9 is the negative

God is not willing that any should

perish over in Matthew 18 Jesus goes so

far as to say this it is not the will of

your father that one of these little

ones perish Jonah ends with God saying

you know Jonah there's an awful lot of

little children over there in Nineveh

they can't tell their right hand from

their left hand is it God's will will

for people to be saved

yes if I am not assisting in getting

people to get S to be saved what am I

will so here are five or six Bible

verses that distinctly tell us what

God's will is and Jonah broke every one of

them how do we discover God's will

through God's

word just through God's word as you

saturate your mind with the word of God

as you fill your heart with the word of

God as you read it and Ponder on it and

meditate you know what happens God talks

to you it's not a mystical experience of

ignorance it's not a mechanical

experience of pushing the buttons it's a

living relationship it's Romans 122 be

transformed by the renewing of your mind

that you may prove by experience what is

that good and acceptable and perfect

will of God sometimes God just says

wait sometimes God just say says now get

ready if God's been keeping you waiting

for some time to accomplish something my

friend when it does happen watch out

it'll happen so fast it'll take your breath

breath

away Joseph waited for 13 years for his

dreams to be fulfilled but when it

happened boy did it happen in a hurry

they came to his cell and they said hey

you got to shave you got to change

clothes the king wants to see

you and from then on he was on the

throne Jonah teaches us a lesson in

discovering God's will my Christian

friend if you're ignoring or neglecting

or disobeying the written word of God

you can't know God's

will I think it's the Detroit Bible

College that has as its

motto discovering the will of God

through studying the word of God that's

a good modotto there's a second lesson

that Jonah teaches

us he teaches us a lesson about defin

ing God's

will defying God's will here's a puny

little preacher who said no

Lord God said go that way he said I'm

going this way now to what extent can we

God everything in the Book of Jonah obeys

obeys

God except

Jonah you take the inanimate word world

you take the mineral

Kingdom the waves obey God God said

waves storm stor and a storm came the

winds obeyed

God the boat obeyed God that boat could

have broken into pieces God kept

together when they cast lots to see who

was the Troublemaker the dice obeyed God

I have a friend who can control dice I

don't know how he does it he wrote a

book on it I read the book and still

don't know how he does it I've watched

him do it it's amazing but with him it's

trickery with God it's no trickery God controls

controls

dice God can control little dice God can

control winds God can control waves inanimate

inanimate

nature obeyed

him the vegetable World obeyed him in

the last chapter a gourd came up God

controlled the G

animal the animal kingdom OB him here's

a great fish whatever it

was Jonah could have written a

suppose here's this great fish and God

says to the fish go go swallow that man

man so the fish obeyed God the last

chapter a worm obeys God he really

bugged Jonah at this

point little worm God says worm you

right down

there get into that

gourd and the worm obeyed him a huge

fish obeys God little worm obeys God a

puny old man won't do it everything in

this book obeys God except

Jonah and Jonah had the most to lose and

the most to

gain now this is the big question can a puny

puny

man obstruct the will of

God well apparently the answer is

yes if you

mean immediately but not Al

imately of course Jonah obstructed God's

will God said go and he went the wrong

direction now how many days it took for

all this to happen we don't know he was

in the innards of the fish three days

and three nights took him a few days to

get to Nineveh but did he delay God's

program yes to some degree you and I can

defy God immediately but not ultimately

not permanently because when puny man

begins to defy the will of God you know

does he begins to

spank now God didn't spank the unsaved

men on board that ship they weren't his

children God only spanks his own

children there are times when I felt

like spanking other people's children

but I have controlled

myself I suppose there may have been

times years ago when people felt like

spanking mind but when Jonah began to

defy the will of God they're moved into

Jonah's life one of the most beautiful

things that God ever does discipline by

the way that's the whole theme of the

book of

Hebrews I don't know why it is people

get in the book of Hebrews they forget

the first five chapters they forget the

last chapters and they sit down in six

and they get themselves very

uncomfortable in chapter six like a a

Hindu sitting on a bed of nails and they

miss all the blessing of the book of Hebrews

Hebrews

Hebrews begins God has

spoken that's what happened to Jonah God

spoke to Jonah Hebrews says God has

spoken what will you do with his word

turn back to Hebrews I'm going to page

through the book of Hebrews with you I'm

not going to expound it but I'm going to

page through

it chapter 1 God has spoken and what he

is saying is more important than what

the prophet said he's this is the whole

finish he's spoken in his son his son is

greater than the prophets greater than

the the Angels now chapter 2 therefore

we ought to give the more Earnest heed

to the things which we have heard

Christians now lest at any time we

should let them

slip for if the word spoken by Angels

was steadfast how much more is the word

now spoken through his son you see God

has spoken don't start

drifting don't start drifting from God's

word say I haven't read my Bible in two

weeks you're drifting from God's word

that's the first

exhortation over in chapter 3: 7 he says

don't start doubting God's word today if

you hear his voice hard and not your

heart that's what the Jews did back at

Kadesh Baria they doubted God's word so

first you start drifting from God's word

then you start doubting God's word well

he continues to tell how important the

word of God is you get to chapter 5

verse 11 don't get dull toward God God's

word I've seen this happen Christian

gets away from the word of God he drifts

quits having his prayer time he starts

doubting the word of God then he starts

getting dull toward the word of God what

happens next well you turn over the

page chapter

10 verse

26 for if we sin

willfully after we have received the

knowledge of the truth there remaineth

no more sacrifice for sins God doesn't

have two saviors he's got one he's

talking about Christians here drifting

doubting getting dull now they are

despising the word look at it down in

verse 28 he that despised Moses law died

without mercy of how much Sor or

punishment would we today be held

accountable he says down in verse 30 the

Lord shall judge his people not the not

the not the dop addicts not the

drunkards not the prostitutes his people

he says you start drifting from the word

and doubting the word and getting dull

toward the word and despising the word

then I have to go to work on you because

12 beginning at verse 14 where he talks about

about

defying the word of God verse 25 see

that you refuse not not him that

speaketh and that's exactly what Jonah

did now when God sees I'm

drifting he exhorts me when he sees I am

doubting he deals with me when he sees

that I am getting dull he works on me

when he sees I am

getting a despiteful attitude and then I

start defying you know what he does

Hebrews 12 comes into Focus he

disciplines God will not allow his

children to become Rebels even if he has

them you say you're getting awfully hard

to listen to well look at Hebrews

12 verse 5 and ye have forgotten the

exhortation which speaketh unto you as

unto Sons not unsaved people children my

son despise not thou the chastening of

the Lord nor faint when thou art rebuked

of him here are two extreme

things God brings chastening upon us we

say well that's not important and we

despise it we have a a stuck up attitude

a hard heart toward it he said don't do

that the other extreme is just to give

up and say oh it's all over don't do

that for whom the Lord loveth he chasten

it chastening is not punishment a judge

punishes a criminal to to uphold the law

a father chastens a son to build

character and Jonah defied God he said

I'm going this way God said how far do

you think you're going to get I love you

too much I've paid too much for you to

let you become a rebel and God begins to

discipline now I don't have to preach

this because you've experienced it I

thank God whenever I thankful I did it

but I'm thankful that whenever I've

gotten out of his will he spanked me and

by the way my friends the worst kind of

spanking is not when he touches your

body it's when he touches the body of

harder now suppose a person does not uh

surrender in

chastening verse 10 speaking about our

Earthly f verse n furthermore we have

had fathers of our flesh who corrected

us we gave them reverence

what are you supposed to do when God

chastens give him reverence say father

you're right I'm

wrong shall we not much rather be in

subjection under the father of spirits and

and

live the suggestion being if we don't

subject ourselves to the father of

spirits we may die there is a sin un

death God accomplished his purposes

through Samson he did not accomplish his

purposes in Samson he had to take Samson's

Samson's

life God accomplished certain purposes

through Saul he could not accomplish

certain purposes in Saul Saul ended up

dead ananas and saf Ascend unto

death now this is serious business if

you and I

defy obstruct the will of God God is

going to accomplish his purposes on this

Earth even if he has to get us out of

the way but his first concern is

lovingly to chasten us to bring us back

into his will that we might be a part of the

the

blessing and so Jonah teaches us a

lesson about defying God's

will you try to defy

it God will spank you you keep on

defying it God may take you this does

not mean that every Christian who dies

has committed a sin unto death obviously

but there are some who have for this

cause said Paul to the Corinthians many

are weak and sickly among you and some

sleep some have

died now I just want to drop this in

because it appro it fits in then we'll

move on to the third

lesson someone says but you know when

Jonah was going in the wrong direction

he was in the permissive will of God I

will now become a

heretic God May permit me to do certain things

God has given me liberty God has given

me freedom God May permit me to do

certain things I don't believe he ordained

ordained

them you see some Christians think that

the will of God is like the Sears robot

catalog good better and

best you're going to buy a crib for the

baby and they have a good crib for $35 a

better crib for $50 and the best crib

so if you want the very best you got to

pay for it now the will of God is not

like this God has one will for my life

it's good and acceptable and perfect not

three will I can't if I travel third

class that's not God's will I can't

believe that a loving holy God would

ordain for me to travel third class he

wants me to travel first class there is

a third class there's a fifth class

but don't say God ordained it permits it

no so many Christians have the idea that

they can blame God for the messes they get

get

into Lord help us when Jonah was out of

God's will did God permit it yes did God

ordain it

no what did God ordain the salvation of the

the

ninevites could God have sent Angels

down should sure but that's not God's

way of doing it he wants a man God has

limited himself to

Grace now the third

lesson he teaches a lesson about

will you people are so patient I appreciate

appreciate

you the will of God involves my mind I

should discover God's will

my heart I should Delight in God's will

my will I should do God's

will chapter one God didn't have

anything of he didn't have Jonah's mind

he didn't have Jonah's heart didn't have

Jonah's will he's going in the wrong

direction chapter 2 Jonah repents God spanks

spanks

him he comes back to the place where he

ought to be but you know what happens in chapter

chapter

three with his will Jonah obeys god with

his mind he knows what God wants him to

do but his heart is not in it you say

how do you know read chapter

4 Jonah builds himself a booth on the

east side of the

city this is East Side Story here in chapter

chapter

4 and he sits there and waits for God to

destroy the

city Jonah preached one of the greatest

revivals in history the whole city

repented close to a million people

repented even the animals

repented they put sackcloth and ashes on

the animals there are some animals in my

neighborhood that I wish would [Music]

[Music]

repent and he preached one of the

greatest revivals in

history and he hated the people he was preaching

preaching

to and in chapter 4 he sits there like a

like a spoiled

brat Waiting for God to destroy the

city and uh God brings the gourd up to

protect him he's so happy for the gourd

and then the worm comes and destroys the

gourd and Jonah loses his victory he's

concerned about a dead gourd he's not

concerned about people going to

Hell by the way you tell me the things

that you miss and you told me something

about you what can you do without he

couldn't do without the G then God sends

that wind that hot Oriental Desert Wind

to blow on

him Jonah says I want to die

I want to die I didn't get my way I want

to die you see he had no pity for the

people that's the whole thrust of Jonah

chapter 4 God says to Jonah in verse 9

doest thou well to be angry for the

gourd he said I do well to be angry even

unto death if I can't have my gourd I

die then said the Lord thou Hast had

pity on the gourd for which thou Hast

not labored neither made it grow it came

up in a night it perished in a

night should not I spare Nineveh that

great City I made those people they're

going to live forever either in heaven

or hell this gourd comes and goes and

nobody cares you care but you don't care

about people should not I spare Neva

that great City in which are more than 6

score, persons that cannot discern

between their right hand and their left

hand that's 120,000

cattle this is where this chapter leaves

us the will of God ultimately has to be

tied with the salvation of lost

souls whatever God's will is for your

life my friend ultimately it's going to

result in the winning of souls you're

either going to do it personally or help

somebody else do

it God's Great concern for the church is

that we go into all the world and preach

the gospel to win

souls and God is concerned about

souls and he says to Jonah you know what

your problem is

son you don't enjoy my will you endure my

will my friend Paul puts it so

beautifully in Ephesians chapter 6 doing

the will of God from the

heart God loves a cheerful

cheerful

servant when he talks about giving don't

give grudgingly or of necessity God

loves a cheerful Giver don't do the will

of God grudgingly or of necessity God

loves a cheerful liver as well as a

and Jonah teaches us one great lesson in chapter

chapter

4 Delight in God's will love to do God's

will love people and love God love souls

love God you the Lord can tell whether

or not we really love to do his will

when we argue about it we don't love to

do it when we delay we don't love to do

it when we pick and criticize we don't

love to do it but if we obey instantly

if we don't argue if we don't lay down

any conditions he said hey here's

somebody who loves to do my

will Jesus said I haven't called you

servants I've called you friends the

servants don't know what the Master's

doing but I want you to know what I'm

doing I want you to be my friends I want

to share my love with you and in my love

is my will oh to come to the place where

Father well here then are three lessons

that Jonah teaches us how we might

will he talks to us about defying God's

Will and delighting in God's

will which leads us to the very

important question what is your

relationship right now to the will of

God is there something in the word of

God that convicts us we know we are

wrong my suggestion friend is to

straighten it out right now if God is
