We are encouraged to go for change. We are encouraged to change our location for example.
“Transport yourself to the Tropics, every sip’s like sunshine!” I am reading on a bottle with just juice.
“Escape to where the sun is.”
A Travel Agency advertises: “Book your Asia or USA Getaway now,” and “Escape to where the sun is.”
But listen to what Elizabeth Clarke Dunn says:
“CHANGE IS AN EASY PANACEA. IT TAKES CHARACTER TO STAY IN ONE PLACE AND BE HAPPY THERE.”
“IF I THOUGHT I COULD WIN ONE MORE SOUL TO THE LORD BY WALKING ON MY HEAD AND PLAYING THE TAMBOURINE WITH MY TOES, I’D LEARN HOW!” – William Booth
“I HAVE A GREAT NEED FOR CHRIST; I HAVE A GREAT CHRIST FOR MY NEED.” – C. H. Spurgeon
“WIR KOENNEN UNS NICHT AUSSUCHEN, OB WIR SCHWERE ZEITEN DURCHLEBEN, SONDERN NUR, WIE WIR ES TUN.” – S. P. ALDRICH
NEW ZEALAND: Cape Reinga in the north of New Zealand.
“Misfortune pursues the sinner, but prosperity is the reward of the righteous.” – Proverbs 13:21
ROSES: Watch out, a rose has a prickly stem.
“PUT AWAY PERVERSITY FROM YOUR MOUTH; KEEP CORRUPT TALK FAR FROM YOUR LIPS.” – Proverbs 4:24
I am reading that finding the will of the Lord is a problem. It causes anxiety. But I am also told, that it is of great interest to find the will of the Lord.

That is for born again people who believe what the Bible says.
Believers, who are spiritually healthy want to do the will of the Lord Jesus Christ.
If you want to do the will of the Lord Jesus Christ, he is guiding you. And his will is revealed in the Bible.
In the Gospel of Matthew we find THE GREAT COMMISSION. (Matthew 28: 18-20) There the Lord Jesus Christ says:
“‘ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME.
Matthew 28:18-120
Introduction:
THEREFORE GO
End:
AND SURELY I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE VERY END OF THE AGE.'”
If you are obedient the The Great Commission, I can assure you that the Lord is going to guide you. (He has guided me.)
I don’t think that finding the will of the Lord should be a problem for believers who are spiritually healthy. And I am speaking here from my own experience.
KERIKERI IS ONE OF THE PLACES I LOVE TO VISIT.
The Baptist Church in KERIKERI.
Man has three parts, soul, spirit and body.
That’s why we have CHURCHES AND SURGERIES.
There is the soul of man. There is the spirit of man, There is the body of man.
Please read First Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12
