Walking in Your Purpose Will Bring Resurrection Power!
“To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven,” Ecclesiastes 3:1 (AMPC).
Being in God’s purpose will give life to your body!
The LORD showed me that this is why President Trump can out-work all of the young people around Him.
Purpose = Life!
For example when we buy a product the life of the product depends on the purpose that it was created for no matter how long that takes.
If you buy a refrigerator you will expect it to keep food cold at least until the warranty is up.
The same way, as long as we have purpose and are moving in that, God said that we would have long life!
“My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: for length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee,” Proverbs 3:1-2.
While Jesus walked the earth ( in His purpose) the devil could not take his life! He said that “Satan had come and found nothing in Him.”
As long as Jesus purpose wasn’t up the Devil could not touch Him! This is why He became our Saviour!
So it is with us as we fulfill our destinies! The more we continue to walk in our calling and purpose, the greater we walk in resurrection life bringing that purpose and glory to all that God has planned that it will touch!
This year, it is going to be important to get into the right place that God has called you and get in the right timing that you are to be in!
It will be important to be with the right people, in right alignment, with who God has decided that you should be with!
If God has asked you to move, then move! If he has asked you to stay, then stay!
If He has asked you to walk away from certain things, then walk away! It is time to align!
I hear the LORD speaking to many to “Get into your calling with all of your heart! Do not allow the enemy to talk you out of your purpose!”
To SAY OF THE LORD, HE IS YOUR REFUGE!
Your words will build a shield around you that the enemy can not penetrate!! Get up everyday and tell the enemy:
“I will live and not die to declare the works of My LORD!
I have purpose and God has a plan for My life!
I am declaring that death and destruction can not have a part of My life because God still has a plan for me!
As long as God has a plan, I have the strength to fulfill it! It’s not over till God says it is over!'”
“With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation,” Psalms 91:16 (AMPC).
“You shall come to your grave in ripe old age, like a sheaf gathered up in its season.Behold, this we have searched out; it is true; Hear, and know it for your good,” Job 5:26-27 (ESV).
“Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s,” Psalms 103:5.
“But those who wait for the LORD [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; they will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not grow tired,” Isaiah 40:31 (AMP).
Say Goodbye!
I heard the LORD say that some of you have regret of things that happened last year and by no fault of your own or even by mistakes there were some that YOU NEVER GOT TO SAY GOODBYE TO.
There were some that you wish you had said this one more thing to or done one more thing for.
There are relationships you wish you had mended before it was too late, or said I love you one more time and the LORD said, “Tell them, you still have eternity!
Tell them that I gave My life so that you could complete everything you wanted and say every I love you, and I am sorry.
I made a way for you to live where relationships will be perfected in a place that isn’t fallen.
It is a place where every tear will be wiped away and there will be no more pain or regret!
Just know this child…”
No Regrets!
It will be important to stick to what God is saying for you to do for the day because you can’t possibly accomplish all that you wish you could do for others!
Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing and He was God in the flesh!
We must learn to operate this way, free of guilt and condemnation from ourselves.
Then and only then will we accomplish His will on earth.
You can not be all things to all people or else that would make you God and trust me, we are not!
This is a year to just be obedient and have no regrets!
Seek First HIS Kingdom!
If we seek first His Kingdom, then God is able to make all things right in our relationships either in earth or in Heaven.
We so need to put our own lives in His hands and quit trying to be superwoman or superman!
Just let Him be Him in us! He already knows that He chose the foolish things to confound the wise so stop trying to be a superhero!
He became one of us so he would know our weaknesses and would be able to help us with them.
That way He will get all the glory! It is Christ in us the hope of Glory!! This year must be about Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!
“Therefore, since [these His] children share in flesh and blood [the physical nature of mankind], He Himself in a similar manner also shared in the same [physical nature, but without sin], so that through [experiencing] death He might make powerless (ineffective, impotent) him who had the power of death — that is, the devil — and [that He] might free all those who through [the haunting] fear of death were held in slavery throughout their lives. F or, as we all know, He (Christ) does not take hold of [the fallen] angels [to give them a helping hand], but He does take hold of [the fallen] descendants of Abraham [extending to them His hand of deliverance]. Therefore, it was essential that He had to be made like His brothers (mankind) in every respect, so that He might [by experience] become a merciful and faithful High Priest in things related to God, to make atonement (propitiation) for the people’s sins [thereby wiping away the sin, satisfying divine justice, and providing a way of reconciliation between God and mankind]. Because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted, He is able to help and provide immediate assistance to those who are being tempted and exposed to suffering,” Hebrews 2:14-18.
