In this episode, Brother Mike is joined by Reverend Austin Jackson to discuss the profound topic of finding and obeying God's will. Reverend Jackson, with his extensive background in youth ministry and real estate, shares insights into understanding and pursuing God's will through a journey rather than a destination.
### Key Insights:
1. **God's Will as a Journey**:
- God's will is not a straightforward path but often resembles a maze with unexpected turns and detours.
- Life's journey, with all its unpredictability, prepares us for God's ultimate purpose.
2. **Romans 12:1-2**:
- Present your bodies as a living sacrifice and be transformed by the renewing of your mind to understand God's will.
- This transformation helps discern what is good, pleasing, and perfect in God’s sight.
3. **Romans 8:28**:
- All things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.
- Even when life doesn’t go as planned, God can make all experiences work for our good.
4. **Pursuing God’s Kingdom**:
- Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other needs will be met.
- Success is defined by becoming who God wants us to be, not by achieving specific positions or titles.
5. **Faithfulness in Small Things**:
- Faithfulness in little things prepares us for greater responsibilities.
- True success comes from being faithful and dependable in whatever role God places us in.
6. **Practical Guidance on Finding God’s Will**:
- When faced with decisions, choose the path that brings peace.
- Trust that God can redirect and use all experiences for His purpose, even if initial choices seem unclear.
7. **Validation and Security**:
- Seek validation from God rather than from positions or people.
- Understand that purpose can be found in any context if we align with God’s calling and constitution.
8. **Parables and Illustrations**:
- Reverend Jackson uses parables, like the story of Robin and John, to illustrate how God's plan can unfold in unexpected ways.
- Analogies like baking a cake or pixels in a picture help explain how individual experiences contribute to a beautiful, cohesive whole.
