Leadership Lesson Podcast: Season 3 Episode 7 - The Will of God

Pastor Daniel talks with his dad, Pastor Joe Williams, Tacoma, Washington about how to make decisions according to God’s will. What is the process for making these type of leadership decisions? First, seek the Lord yourself. God knows your heart and he knows you are trying to do your best. You will make mistakes. Joe talks about some of the ministry mistakes he has made and how God was faithful. Asking God for His will, for peace in making the decision and asking God to close doors where we shouldn’t go. God’s will is revealed one step at a time, by faith. How is patience involved in waiting for God’s will in decision making? God is not on our time schedule. While you are waiting, you are still serving God and carrying out ministry. But you are listening. The Holy Spirit will direct you. How are others in your spiritual community involved in making decisions? Sometimes people can shed light from an angle you have not considered. Seek counsel and ask questions. Always return to seeking God yourself and listening to Him. He is “able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think.” (Ephesians 3:20)
