Priest shares the secret to discerning God's will

[@Alaska_Gal]

I worked with the homeless for over 8 years but had to stop because of many dangerous experiences I encountered. I felt lost after I quit & prayed for guidance. I was led to become a caregiver & now, take care of the elderly (specifically those with Dementia) as well as people in hospice. Everything fell into place after I prayed.

Fr Gallagher’s voice is very calming and assuring . I enjoyed this contest. Than you

[@01happykat]

Yes, it's a stark contrast to Chris's childish interviewing style. I'm sorry, but I struggle to watch this host. Using the class clown style while handling such rich and deep content makes him incredibly embarrassing to watch. It's as if Fr. Tim is trying to hide his annoyance. I want to enjoy Chris's content but always find myself turning off his interviews. Am I the only one? I'm not even that serious of a person, but I want a host who acts like an adult, not a dimwitted college bro.

[@atombomb31458]

yes--he has a voice that is so reassuring

[@claudiabettina]

@@01happykat I am having the same difficulty. If he was more respectful and listened more instead of inserting himself and his own "wisdom" it would be easier to watch. And not to interrupt the guest when they are not finished speaking as he did to Fr. Ripperger in another interview. It pains me. It is like chalk scraping on a chalkboard. It makes my gut wrench. I'm really loving Fr. Tim. He makes so much sense to me when he talks.

[@01happykat]

@@claudiabettina Thank you! I think Chris has changed his interview style a bit since this one. Let's hope! There's too much valuable content here to throw away over poor interview skills.

Read the Bible and pray. The Holy Spirit of God gives true Christian's discernment for God is Spirit and communes with our spirit not our flesh. God does NOT keep His Will a secret and true Christians know that.

Fr. Gallagher is a gift to the Church.

[@collegesuccess]

Fr. Benedict Groeschel once related **Mother Teresa's Two-Steps For Seeking God's Will: 1.) Ask yourself: "What is the next step I don't want to take?" 2.) Humbly surrender yourself to God: "It is not so important to know God's will. What is important is to not hinder Him so much!"** +Peace+

[@dancostello6465]

Thanks for this advice. Am emerging to listening to God. One must step back to being in the world with the blessing of God's grace from being of the world and its distractions or its diversions. My personal spiritual path must improve from hearing God's message and accepting his guidance to my best life with Him. Happy Easter.

[@ThePapsforshort]

. . discernment is so difficult when searching answers that aren't answered .. one's (my) heart is willing,.. I'm so lucky to have had the opportunities I have in this life, Jesus Christ is the only way to truth, His teachings are the uniquist of human experience ever recorded. I may read this response back and edit someday, but on this very special Easter day all perceptions become clearer (imo,) every single year. Uk westerners living in a sugar-coated democracy, sometimes having no idea or current concept of self-sacrifice - my mind was reshaped when visiting Kenya 5 yrs ago and seeing true poverty for the first time - when one sees it one can't unsee it!

Understanding God’s Will vs what we Think is God’s Will is not for the faint of heart. . I try not to lean on my own understanding but it’s the most difficult thing to do. .especially when I don’t want to do it and then it’s question’s.. “is this Really what you want from me Father or. . ?

Hi Richard, I think it's important to show that you're a basically happy person when things are good in your life and also when something bad is happening in your life because God is helping you get through it...I think that will attract people to you to find out how you can be happy and peaceful...I hope I said that clearly...

I believe the way we discern God's will is very unique for everyone. I recall St. Oscar Romero's(whose feast day was in March when he was appointed Archbishop of El Salvador)response when he was told to do what God wants and he said what is that? The film "Romero" is an accurate portrayal of Romero's life and worth watching on the internet.

Vocations has nothing to do with GOD'S will. A vocation is employment, living a life free of sin is doing GOD'S Will.

[@maggiemioni8414]

@@Sarah-zg5qs um no. God created us all with a vocation in mind. Not all follow it (and they never can be truly happy) but it is there, and He is constantly trying to guide us towards it. Also, His Will for us is always something fit for us. He isn’t going to ask something of you that you wouldn’t love. It’s all about dying to your self-will though.

Simply ask God to do His will in your lives! His is always the perfect way! I understand alot of the anxiety in the comments. People do not fear the daily crosses you carry. Jesus says 'take up your cross and follow Me!' It leads to heaven, unite yourselves to God and embrace your cross. It is our salvation! Jesus is the way the truth and the life! Jesus i trust in you! Leave aside your anxiety, for Jesus will help you to smile again! 2 saints tha5 address the different mansions of a soul, st. John of the cross and st. Teresa of Avila. Our journey to heaven is thru detachment of earthly things, love, sacrifice.

Jesus followed his conscience (Mark 2:8). Paul followed his conscience (Acts 23:1). Paul said believers were to be led of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14) in their consciences (Romans 8:16). As you meditate in the Bible and practice it, your conscience becomes a better and better guide. In 2006 I prayed the prayer for wisdom and revelation in Ephesians 1:16-17 for myself (Paul prayed it for believers). God revealed to me to sell my house and buy it back 5 years later. I did so and bought back the home for 1/3rd the price. I knew what to do in my conscience without hearing a voice, having an angel appear to me, nor having a vision. 90% of the time, I have the revelation in my spirit without anything spectacular. God wants to lead you but you must mature spiritually by practicing: forgiving others, reading the bible, praying, giving, helping others ...

[@TheBinaryWolf]

God's will is to call no man your father for heavenly matter (Mt.23:9), to trust no man but God alone in Scripture, especially Jn.14:6. His will is that none should perish, that those in the apostate church would flee from it (Rev.18:4). God's will is to avoid spiritual adultery by going after Mary instead of the Bridegroom, especially since Mary cannot hear prayer (Jn.14:6): the resurrection of saints is still a future event, just before Christ's return (1Thess.4:15-18). What a tragedy that the largest church in the world is an apostate one, one filled with heresies yet which burned alive saints for following Jesus instead of corrupt papal Rome, whose end is described in Rev.17. Selah.

I'm going to be direct and honest with you about this video because you really need to hear the truth. I saved this video to my watch later que and was really looking forward to seeing it. Instead, I was disappointed and frustrated after watching it, primarily because it promised much more than it delivered. Your guest mentioned three main ways in which God answers a question, then only revealed the one which required no discernment and never addressed the other two. Do you not watch your own videos? It does not appear that you do. However, I would recommend that you do so that these kinds of things can be caught before the video is published to the channel. These kinds of careless mistakes will cause viewers to believe that the channel just serves up warmed-over slop and that nobody's really paying much attention to the content itself. Another area you should be careful about is how you title your videos. That was part of the problem here. Unless you're going to title every video "Random small talk with a guest," then you should police what makes it to the final cut of the video and modify the video title accordingly. Beyond just disappointed viewers KZbin will not take kindly to bait and switch video titling which I'm assuming was not done on purpose but has bad optics and really annoys viewers. Hope you don't think I'm a hater and realize I took the time to spell this out for you because I want your videos to be good and Lord knows, this one wasn't.

Discerning God should come first, is it likely that any of the many gods that have been followed have been real, as in existence. They may feel real to the indoctrinated persons, so discerning the will of an unreality is futile, you can do the same without the God belief. It is obvious that prayer is just a placebo and not a good way to sort out ones life.
