It is impossible for a man to do the will of God. Only the Spirit of God can do the will of God.
If the Spirit of God lives in the man and carries him, he can be enabled and empowered to do the will of God. But that same man must willingly surrender his own will, and seek to do the will of God, in order for God’s will to be done by, or through the man. That man must stay connected to the God of the Spirit, by being obedient to the Spirit. Then the Spirit will guide and work through that man.
The man, who loves God, lives to do the will (desires) of God. If any man lives to do his own will (desires), he does not love God, nor does he know Him…
“Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.”
Love,
