It is very unlikely that you will ever know the will of God for someone else. However, God will reveal His will to them, and they may need help evaluating their revelation.

Counseling 8: The Will of God (Jim Wilson)

God blesses spiritually obedient people with spiritual blessings *and* material blessings. But this is no health-and-wealth gospel, for God also warns us that material blessings tend to distract us from Him. “Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction” (1 Tim. 6:9). Does that mean it’s wrong for Christians to be rich? If not, what does the Bible say about how Christians should handle money?

Biblical Finances: How Should Christians Handle Money? (Doug Wilson)

Biblical theology attempts to explain what the Bible says, without filling in any of the gaps. Systematic theology’s goal is to lay out the entire counsel of God from Scripture, synthesizing it into a coherent whole. 

The purpose of this talk is to discuss the methodological differences between biblical and systematic theology, using practical examples from Scripture.

Methodologies of Biblical & Systematic Theology (Doug Busby)

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." (1 John 4:7-10)
