The New Testament tells of only one time when the apostles cast lots to determine the will of God. They prayed and asked God to guide them in selecting a person to replace Judas. They then cast lots. A man named Matthias was chosen. This event happened before the Holy Spirit was sent to the church. The Bible does not talk about casting lots after Christians received the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit and the word of God teach believers to know the will of God (see: Acts 1:21-26; Acts 2:1-47; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31).
