![]() ![]() When God called Moses to go to Egypt and rescue the Israelites, he questioned God’s will, wondering if the people would believe him (Exodus 4:1). If His will includes suffering, or if it doesn’t make sense to us, we question it. This appositional construction is brought out in the ESV: “You may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Viewed this way, if you are doing good things that are pleasing to God and leading to your maturity, then you are doing God’s will.Īt times God’s will does not seem to us to be good, acceptable, or perfect. In Romans 12:2, the words good, acceptable, and perfect can also be taken as nouns that rename the will of God in other words, God’s will equals that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Scripture was given to make the believer “perfect” in the sense of “thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:17). God’s perfect will leads us to spiritual maturity. Following God’s perfect will makes us better reflections of God’s perfect nature. His perfect will has no defect and fully reaches the goal, purpose, or end that was intended. The believer who serves the Lord in a spirit of deference, love, and righteousness is “acceptable to God and approved by men” (Romans 14:18, ESV). Those who obey the will of God are acceptable to Him (Matthew 12:50). God’s will is acceptable, or pleasing, in that it is approved by God and fully pleasing to Him. God’s will for the believer is acceptable. God’s good will is revealed for our benefit and the benefit of those we serve. Every “good and perfect gift” comes from God (James 1:17), and “He withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly” (Psalm 84:11). It is good because He is fully good (Luke 18:19) with no evil or darkness in Him (1 John 1:5). This three-fold description of God’s will can teach us more about who God is and His plan for us. This method does not account for names that became unavailable due to name changing.Romans 12:2 reveals that the believer who is being transformed by a new, godly way of thinking “may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (NKJV). If no character of the specified name exists, there will be a system message saying the player does not exist. The player can attempt to send in game mail to other players using the Mailbox. ![]() This method is not entirely reliable, but it is faster than creating a new character. This process takes seven days, due to the time needed to delete a character. If the name is available and the character is created, the player can delete the character and make the name available again. This is the best way of checking whether a name is available or not. ![]() ![]() PWI does now have any proper means of checking a name's availability, but there are a couple of tricks that can help. The character's new name will be replaced everywhere except on manufactured gear which will retain the old name. Players in the character's Friend's List will also receive a system announcement of the change. When a player changes their character's name, a system announcement will be made in Faction chat. Next time the player logs in, the character will have their new name. If the name they are trying to pick is available, the character will disconnect from the server. If the name they are trying to pick is unavailable, they will receive the appropriate warning.
