Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
There are three different levels of the will of Our Heavenly Father: good, acceptable, and perfect
In order to discern and move to HIS perfect will, you must change, or be transformed. This is done by the renewing of your mind. The renewing of your mind requires you to give up previously held doctrines of men and focus on HIS ways. Simply put, you must change. Unless you have reached the pinnacle of your calling, there is room for growth and maturity. The above three levels of HIS will can be associated with the three major feasts of the year: Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles.
When Our Heavenly Father created the Heavens and the earth, HE created and saw that it was “good”. Jesus stated “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep” and “I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me”. All of this occurred prior to the age of Pentecost.
Pentecost is known by its greater power by the “infilling” of the Holy Spirit into vessels who continue to deal with sin and lawlessness in their lives. Hence the bread offering of this feast contained leaven:
Leviticus 23:16 You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh sabbath; then you shall present a new grain offering to the LORD. 17 You shall bring in from your dwelling places two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two-tenths of an ephah; they shall be of a fine flour, baked with leaven as first fruits to the LORD.
In HIS plan, HE knew mankind would deal with the sin issue during the Pentecostal age. This was all part of HIS acceptable will. We should not be surprised at the scandals and lawlessness observed in the church leadership for it was expected by Our Heavenly Father when HE instituted the Law with its various sacrifices. The overall population reflects the state of the church. Sin has abounded.
Now to the perfect will. This is associated with the feast of Tabernacles, the 3rd and final age. It is known for the perfection of the saints, the full maturity of those called to rule and reign with Christ. In order to be one of those in this group, you must change. You must cut away the fleshliness of your thoughts, intents, habits, customs, and assumptions. Your mind must be renewed. Don’t think that Our Heavenly Father is going to force this upon you. HIS Spirit draws men unto HIM, HE does not “drive” them like cattle. This is why Jesus frequently used the example of sheep and fish. Sheep know their master and follow Him. Fish swim in schools and are accepted by others in the school. They are drawn to their kind.
You can choose the subject of your thinking, you can choose your emotional tones, you can choose your own moods. You determine your disposition. Unless you decide to change, you are destined to stay in the same quagmire you are currently in.
In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul states:
33 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 34 Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.
Effectively, you become like the company you keep. If you hang out with those who constantly speak polluted thoughts, it will negatively impact you. You must separate yourself from those who persist in corrupting those around them. You cannot fellowship with “Evil company”. However, mature Sons can minister to those same people, not being moved by their words or deeds. Once again, you are responsible to change. Don’t think that on some future prophetic day that Our Heavenly Father is simply going to force a change on you so you can participate in some calling. HE expects you to focus on your own maturity so that you can join others when a prophetic “corporate” event occurs. Paul says it like this in Colossians 3:
12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
If you want to be in the center of Our Heavenly Father’s “perfect” will, you must put on Love, which is the bond of perfection. A “bond” holds things in place. The third will of Our Heavenly Father centers around Love, HIS primary characteristic and the center of HIS Divine Intent. Get your Spiritual knife out and start cutting away the flesh. It is your responsibility.
