GUIDANCE

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
- AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS,
- BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,
- AND TEACHING THEM ALL I HAVE COMMANDED YOU.
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

THE COVENANT SIGN
A covenant is an agreement between two parties.
WINTER IN KAITAIA: It is the time of the rainbows.
In Genesis 9:13 we are reading about the agreement between God and Noah: NO MORE FLOODS OF THAT PROPORTION!
The sign of the covenant is the Rainbow of God.
Rainbows in the Bible: Genesis 9:13; Ezekiel 1:28; Revelation 4:3 and Revelation 10:1.
