I'd like to do His perfect will everyday. Is it possible? How can I do that?
ANSWER:
“Someone told me there'd been somebody here for many, many times in the other meetings, and had never been able to get into the prayer line. That's what I'm trying to get away from. Just as quick as possible get to a place to where we can get every one prayed for. The signs and wonders are glorious. And I believe though, I tried it in Kuopio, and many of the different places. And it was just wonderful. But in America I have never seen the time just yet. I was trying to find the will of God, to find out what God wants me to do. And then I always want to walk in His perfect will if I possibly can. Everything that I--I know that it can be done to--to help.” [Show Us The Father And It Suffices, Cleveland, OH 50-0819]
“Now, you see, from as I said last night, any move from that original plan of God throws the whole thing out of cater. We can't move from that original Word. It's got... We talked on it last evening, or evening before last, rather, on Balaam. He got God's answer, straight and clear, "Don't go!" But He has a permissive will. And you can work in that if you wish to, and God will make it honoring, but still it's not God's perfect will. And that's what we should strive for, His perfect will, not His permissive will. The Kingdom of God, which He... is in the earth today, will... can never be set up, justly, on a permissive will. It's got to come back to His perfect will.” [The Seed Shall Not Be Heir With The Shuck, LA, CA 65-0429B]
“In Romans, a very familiar chapter, I want to take a--a few verses here, and about the first two or three verses, two verses, I think it is, and read. And, in this, try to explain It the best that I know how, by the help of the Holy Spirit. Romans, the 12th chapter. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” [Power Of Transformation, Prescott, AZ 65-1031M]
“I thought that was so beautiful for this group this morning, what you done did. Now, "And," and is a conjunction, as I understand. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” [Power Of Transformation, Prescott, AZ 65-1031M]
“That's what we all want to do, is, "Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind, to do the perfect and acceptable will of God." Now that we have been saved, as we are; and that we have been filled with the Holy Spirit, as we have; now we want the mind that was in Christ, to be in us, that we might be transformed from the natural things of life, and be brought in to do the perfect will of God, by transformation, of God's Spirit, by His Word.” [Power Of Transformation, Prescott, AZ 65-1031M]

QUESTION:
How can I tell that I am doing the permissive will of God?
ANSWER:
“And now, I feel like this Christians, now tonight... I come today, I haven't even, nothing but just my, pray two or three times today, haven't thought to be under the anointing, because I knew I'd either preach or--or tell my life story this afternoon, which Brother Baxter asked me to do that. And I feel that it might be a good thing. And now, while we're talking on that, now when you see that... Somebody say, "Brother Branham hasn't got any more meetings." Well, don't think it's because that--that I've backslidden or anything like that, but I'm seeking after the perfect will of God. There is a permissive will and a perfect will. Isn't that right, brethren? And I feel like for a long time, I kinda been in the permis--(Is that better?) kind of been in the permissive will and not in the perfect will.” [Life Story Toledo, OH 51-0722A]
“Every promise in the Book is yours then. He can't do it, why? The blood cell, where did it originate? Where did it originate in the lamb, the little sheep? Where did it originate? From the male sheep. It was a sexual desire. It was sinful. After the--God had pronounced this is--made it a permissive, but never the perfect. "God made man out of the dust of the earth and breathed the breath of life into him, and he became a living soul." But then tampering, women become that instrument to bring life, and that's the reason it has to go back, the body. The soul then must be taken care of first to originate the beginning of a new life. Did you realize that? Now, the lamb when its life broke at the--at the place where it was sacrificed, the worshiper with his hands bloody and realizing that he was a sinner, was a shadow yonder of Calvary.” [The Law Having A Shadow, Chicago, IL 56-0621]
“But, and if the people won't walk in His perfect will, He does have a permissive will He'll let you walk in. Notice, He permits it, all right, but He will make it work out for His glory, in His perfect will. Now if you'd like...” [Does God Ever Change His Mind About His Word Jeff. IN 65-0418E]
“Just like, in the beginning, it was not God's perfect will for children to be born on the earth through sex. No, sir. God created man out of the dust of the earth, breathed the breath of life into him, and he become a living soul. He took from that man a helpmate, and made a wife to him. That was God's first and original will. But when sin come in and did the thing that it did, then He permitted man to marry a wife, legally, and have children by her. "Multiply and replenish the earth, then, if that's the way you're going to do it." But, you see, it never was His perfect will.” [Does God Ever Change His Mind About His Word Jeff. IN 65-0418E]
