God’s Perfect and Permissive Will

If you are humble, God can speak to your spirit. God speaking to your spirit gives you a peace and joy; it allows you to function in this evil world.  If you are going contrary to the word of God, you are in his permissive will. In God’s permissive will, we often pursue a plan that is different from God's perfect plan. Yet we are sincere, desiring to follow God. So, we earnestly pray, we beseech God, we are persistent, and God relents, he gives us our desire but we will not prosper or be as productive for Him. You will not experience the blessings that come from following the King of Kings.

God has designed a map for each of our lives. It makes your life easier when you are in the perfect will of God. We discover God’s perfect will by seeking Him through his Word, His Spirit, and His people.
