Prayer Principle 3A: Submission: Worthy Walk
Westside Care Center Tuesday, January 16, 2006
Mr. C. Pat Lanyon
Review:
The time before last, we considered passages that reveal three aspects
of obeying God’s will that were described as the process of determination, or
the resolve to continue to advance toward and to actually do (performance of)
the will of God. We observed that it often happens that we encounter doubts and
resistance to continue doing God’s will when we are aware of what it is.
We first noted that we can ask God for ‘wisdom’ as He reveals
something He wants done, and that our responsibility is to refuse to doubt
or ‘waver’ when it is clear what God wants done. By asking without doubting
we were assured that God would not only answer, but that He would give a ‘liberal’
dose of the wisdom we need to complete His will.
Secondly, we noted that it would also require a human ‘resolve’ or
a ‘pressing on’ toward doing God’s will. This also requires the negative
aspect of forgetting past failure to do God’s will, alongside of
the positive ‘resolve’ required to complete it. We realized that as
in other principles under this submission heading, these type of prayer requests
are of a kind that God is willing to answer, and so making a persistence in
praying them brings God’s supernatural power into play.
Third, we considered ‘performance’ which boiled down to two
concepts. 1) Action, and 2) self control – one of the ‘fruits’ of the Holy
Spirit enabled by Him, but fully dependent on our human cooperation in yielding
to His wishes.
Now we consider a second major part of knowing God’s will: Walking in it!
Introduction: (3A. Submission: A Walk Worthy of the Lord – Colossians
1:10)
OUTLINE RECAP -- From the
Prayer Notebook
Since working on these character traits, I am better
enabled now to advance toward a...
2B. WALK WORTHY of the Lord,
1C. Conditions
1D. "Fully pleasing Him" Col 1.10 (After
my fully pleasing Him, I next must become)

5D. All PATIENCE (in trials You send to me) and
6D. (All) LONGSUFFERING (toward others who irritate
me) with joy.
7D. GIVING THANKS to the Father who has qualified
us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
As I have already given thanks for many of Your
blessings to me I will now give thanks for gaining an inheritance in the
saints through my willingness to begin to obey Your will.
[The Colossians passage goes on to acknowledge the attributes of Christ
which is a fitting addition to the Adoration section OR continued here as
an excellent example of submission.
Remember that the prayer outline is a personal composition you change as
God teaches you how He wants you to pray.]
[Having met these conditions, the next step in a practical submission to
God's will comes down to our fulfilling specific roles we have in life. That
truly defines walking in God's will.]
Walking in God’s Will In Decision-Making:
Through my confidence by now comprehending I am fellow-partaker of the
true Light’s Inheritance, I shall be even more enabled to make key
decisions concerning Your will for my life. You will moment-by-moment and
