Five Steps To Live In The Divine Will


How are you doing?

We had a blessed time when we discussed the lessons on how to
live in God's Divine Will few days ago. Below are the 5 steps to be
able to live in the Divine Will. I know some of us know this already
but as we read it again and again we will learn new wisdom. Read it and
understand them by heart. If you know this by heart you can say this in
very simple words in the beginning of our day and everytime we want to
go back to live in the Divine Will.

To live in the Divine Will is not a devotion, it is a way of life.
You can be in your own vocation (married, single, teacher, doctor,
housewife, etc.) and existing life situation (joyful or in pain) as God
wills it but the difference is that you allow the Will of Jesus to live
in you. Your life becomes a prayer and holy. I will be sending you some
of the notes on the other subjects that we talked about before. Thanks
and have a blessed day!

Jesus is the teacher.
I'm just his broken instrument!

5 STEPS TO LIVE IN THE DIVINE WILL
***********************************


1) DESIRE TO LIVE IN GOD'S WILL

The greatest gift that God gave us is the Divine Will! In order to
pocess this we have to desire it. It doesn't matter whether you found
yourself the most sinful and misserable of all. Jesus said just desire
to live in the Divine Will and that is enough! He looks at our hearts
and want to see that we desire Him.

When we desire the totality of the power of our soul is operating.
With this we have to know that we have the power of freedom. Our soul
is compose of 3 powers. The "will", "intellect" and "memories". He
created us in His image and likeness so these 3 powers make us similar
to Him. God wants that this power is use to live in His Will. When
we "desire" our "intention" is move to want something. We have to
want to live in His Will!

2) CONFESS OUR SINS

We have to be pure in order that the Divine Will can live in us.
Jesus wants to see that our heart is similar to Him. Pure and sinless!
He wants to find His own environment in us so He can live His life in
us. We have to be sorry for our sins and if necessary confess our sins
by means of the sacrament of confession. Plus we have to forgive others,
ourselves and God.

3) ACCEPT THE TRUTH ABOUT OURSELVES

Accept the truth about ourselves: that we are a sinner, we are nothing
without God, we are a missery, we are broken, we are weak, etc. Most of
the time we deny this truth and by doing so we are full of ourselves.
There is no room for God to work in us. Accepting this truth will shower
to us the grace of true humility. Pride blocks the truth so that is why
sometimes God allows trials and mortification in ourlives to empty our
hearts and to make us spiritualize where we can totally embrace our own
nothingness. Read this scripture 2 Corinthians 12:5-10.

4) OFFER YOUR NOTHINGNESS

God needs an empty space, our nothingness, in order that He can create
His Kingdom in us the DIVINE WILL of God. The same way as the sculptor
need an empty table so he can create his masterpiece. If there is any
clutter on the table he need to clean it so he can create with
inspiration no distractions. In this part the void of our soul is
totally empty by recognizing our nothingness. Then we become fully
spiritualize that matter or material is no longer our focus. The same
way we need to be spiritualized to be able to mingle with God who is
pure spirit. God is waiting for us to use the power of freedom that He
gave us by means of offering our nothingness to Him. He will eagerly
accept our offering and ready to create His Divine Will in the voidness
of our soul.

5) CONSECRATE OUR WILL TO THE DIVINE WILL

Consecrate our human will to the Divine Will. God really awaits
this from our own willingness. Read the consecration prayer in the
Divine Will prayer book or go to www.divinewill.org and find it
in the left side of the website. This consecration prayer should be
prayed with the heart with no attachment what so ever. After you
consecrate your will to the Divine Will your life begins in the
Will of God. After this act the hearbeat of Jesus begins in your own
heartbeat and all the acts you do becomes the act of Jesus. These
acts are greater than heaven and earth. Your life is no longer
human but divine. Your will becomes one with God! You partake
in the creation, redemption and sanctification of God.

As God created the universe so that man can have a habitat
God created the soul so that He can have a habitat in His
creation. Jesus wants to taste how delicious is the apple He
created as we eat it in His Will. He wants to smell the sweet
scent of the rose that he created as we smell it in His Will.


HOW CAN WE MAINTAIN LIVING IN GOD'S WILL?

1) Live in the present moment. The Will of God
is operating in the eternal NOW.

2) Avoid thinking about the worries of the future or
thinking about the regrets of the past.

3) Accept with love whatever is given to you in the present moment.

4) Be attentive interiorly and exteriorly to be aware of the
present moment to embrace God's Will.

5) Avoid sin
