In other words, you always carry out the will of God for your life in complete obedience. You have arrived at perfection. Congratulations!
So then you can't explain nor understand those verses, right? If you could, you'd have been able to answer your own question and you
probably wouldn't have needed to ask it.

You mean you believe mans will is sovereign over Gods will, which is Blasphemy ! Mans will is the god you bow to !
Some of the things you say are funny. God's will is outlined in the scriptures. They will come to pass. God has given men, all men, a free will to choose his way or suffer the consequences. If man is to receive mercy and grace, man is to do it God's way as outlined in the scripture. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ! Man cannot will it or run it any other way. God's way is the only way.

What do you think these verses are saying?

[1Jo 3:9 KJV]
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

[Rom 7:8 KJV]
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin [was] dead.

[1Co 15:55-57 KJV]
55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory?
56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.
57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

[Col 2:13-14 KJV]
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

[Rom 8:1-2 KJV]
1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Praise the Lord, he has forgiven me of all trespasses and sins. Yet, I still fall short and sin daily. That is not God's will for my life.

Sometimes, I struggle obeying the following verses. Why even give us directions if God's will is always done in our lives?

1 Thessalonians 5
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
16 Rejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Your beliefs are atheistic, elevation of man's will over God's will .
Thank you for your opinion. Your beliefs puts God as the author of sin and gives you an excuse for your disobedience.

The above verses are unto edification, not unto judgement. Edification is how those of the elect/born-again are taught by God and
thereby they learn.

Hear you tell it man's will is freer than God's Will, you bow to man, that is your God

Is it the will of God for believers to rejoice in everything? Do all believers rejoice in everything? Do some fail on this? Of course.

Of course, everyone falls short, but neither does that affect their salvation. People are saved by what Christ did, not by what they did nor do.

Atheists do not believe God exists...
Let me ask you a question, one that I ponder over from time to time. If someone does not recognize, know, or believe in the
one true God but in a false God, does that make them an atheist?

Atheism is marked by lack of belief in any God or gods:

disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.

As a non-believer, I never identified as an atheist.

Not even as an agnostic...

God's will is only for salvation not for holy living? Calvinists must pick and choose...
