I have been reading out of "Finding the Will of God" By Bruce K. Waltke... Here is a wonderful section on what it means to 'Find' God's Will...

"The word "finding" we normally use in the sense of learning or obtaining or attaining to God's mind. When we seek to "find" God's will, we are attempting to discover hidden knowledge by supernatureal activity. If we are going to find His will on one specific choice, we will have to penetrate the divine mind to get His decision. "Finding" in this sense is really a form of divination.

This idea was common in pagan religions. As a matter of fact, it was the preoccupation of pagan kings. Most of our texts from the ancient Near East pertain to dvination. The king would never act in something as important as going into battle until he had the mind of the god as to whether he should or should not go to war. Many Christians follow this same path in seeking the divine mind in decisions. I have talked with people who perform certain rituals before going to God with an important request, as though they could make themselves more acceptable to God and therefore be more likely to get an answer. But that sort of pagan behavior is what Christ saved us out of. We don't have to slaughter lambs or make great promises or offer special sacrifices as a means of bargaining our way into the presence of God. Christ, with His death on the cross, tore apart the veil in the Holy of Holies. Access to God is no longer limited to one human priest providentiall born to the right familiy, who came to the Lord on behalf of the chosen people. You now have access to God through Jesus Christ. You now have guidance from God through the Holy Spirit. Perhaps the problem is that not enough Christians are walking in close relationship with the God who loves them.

The New Testament gives no explicit command to "find God's will," nor can you find any particular instructions on how to go about finding God's will. There isn't a magic formula offered Christains that will open some mysterious door of wonder, allowing us to get a glimpse of the Almighty. The Bible forbids pagan divination (Deuteronomy 18.10) and invokes severe penalties for those who resort to magic for determining the will of God in this way. Simon Magus was severely rebuked in Acts 8 for seeking supernatural powers, and Christ criticized the perverse generation that always asks for a sign from God.

God is not a magic genie. The use of promise boxes, or flipping open your Bible and pointing your finger, or relying on the first thought to enter your mind after a prayer are unwarrented froms of Christian divination.

The reliance on special signs from God is the mark of an immature person — someone who cannot simply believe the truth as presented, but must have a special, miraculous sign as the symbol of authority from God."
