"..that the feeling that i am in Gods will"

Well, not to mince words, but 'feelings' are a very bad barometer for knowing we are in God's will. It should be our 'faith' in Him and His Word...

The former, grants our unpredictable and subjective emotional outlook the 'judge' of our state before God, while the latter places the burden on the object of our faith, Jesus Christ and the Father God Almighty.

THIS is why I asked 'why' you wanted specific direction.. To appease our feelings is a task God himself could probably not satisfy even if He 'wanted' to.. We see the children of Israel for 40 years in the desert and their failure.... This was with mighty MIRACLES and SPECIFIC direction EVERY DAY by God!! They failed to keep His direction/instructions and so he provided a different way.. a new covenant.. Bless the Lord Jesus Christ!

---------------------------------------------------

Now seeking to live a life above reproach in 'what' you do, is an honorable and Biblical task to keep away ill repute of the perishing toward Christians, and for our own conscience.. THIS has to do with character and sort of 'how to live' vs. 'what to do'... although it 'does' contain do's and don'ts..


I like the following Scriptures...

1 Thessalonians 2:6-12

For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; ?that each of you should learn to control his own body ?a? in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you.
For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.
?Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. ?And in fact, you do love all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers, to do so more and more.
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
