This book is dedicated to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who I am grateful and thankful to, for the vision He gave to me.

To my Sister, Teresa, my Sons, Joey Jr and Jonathan, my Daughter, Rochelle. I thank you all for believing in God’s anointing upon my life, verbally encouraging me to walk in the spiritual gift given to me and for constantly praying for me.

To my Mother and Father, Pastor Benjamin D. & Isabell U. Blake – without you there would be no me.

It is my prayer that this personal study guide will bless, stretch and deliver all who read it.

The Mission

The purpose of this book is to help you get a better understanding of how to live your life in the will of God. For years, I’ve heard it said that most Christians do not do the will of God because they do not know the will of God. Prayerfully, this book will help to turn this saying around, for you, as it did for me.

The Journey

As you progress thru this book, you will notice that although the theme of this book is about the will of God, hopefully, it will be revealed to you that this book is really about you dying to yourself. When you love someone, you want to please them and in pleasing them, it brings you pleasure. Since we love God, we want to please Him and in order to please Him, we must do His will, and in doing His will, it will in turn bring us joy.
