===Lesson===
 
Once again, we are concerning ourselves with understanding and accenting to God's will. There is no one uniform set of rules you can follow and know you are doing God's will, contrary to what is taught in your churches. As God the Father has sent his spirit individually to each person separately, so too is the Father's will unique to each person. Each person has their own individual set of obstacles or barriers that come between that person and God. When Jesus said to the rich young man, "If you would follow me, you must sell all you own and distribute it to the poor", he recognized that man's obstacle and told him the way to overcome it. He did not require all his followers to do this. For another, it might be to leave a family obligation, or in another possibly even a marriage obligation.

So, it is up to you, individually, to do something very simple, to ask. Father is this your will for me? If you ask this in sincerity, complete openness, you will receive an answer. But, remember that this answer is for that moment in time and does not remain static throughout your journey. Are there any questions at this time?

===Dialogue===
 
Q: I have a question that relates to this lesson and last weeks lesson, as we begin to work more with our personal teachers, can you help me understand how to correlate the Father's will with the instructions we receive from our teachers. I think we place a very high value on something we hear from a celestial, and I want to know how we use that in ascertaining the Father's will?

Ham: I encourage this, but I also want you all to participate in deciding what it will be and how it will be conducted. I will not interfere in those decisions.
