Spirit-Filled Life Without Purpose

You Have God Inside of You

If you don’t know your calling and purpose in life, you are doing it wrong. You will not thrive and succeed without knowing, and living as the person you were made to be. Success in life here on earth means you’ve done what God had planned for you to do. Think of Moses, he was supposed to enter the promised land but wasn’t able to because of his rebellion. And what about King David being unable to build the temple? Everything you do must be done for the Lord. And everything you do must be working toward your purpose, and destiny, as you serve the Body of Christ. If you are an eye in the Body don’t waste time trying to be a hand. Do the thing you were made to do wherever you are at.

I understand this is all easier said than done. I may even be making you mad. But I’m telling you the truth. There is good news though. God wrote your Book of Life before the foundation of the world. He loves you and wants you to learn here on earth to prepare you for your life to come in eternity. You will be judged for what you’ve done with the calling, talents, and gifts you’ve been given. God gives us all enough grace to do what we can with whatever we are doing. Allow yourself to grow, mature, and discover your strengths. Reframe your mind to be okay with failure. Failure is merely an opportunity to learn. God gives you grace, so give some to yourself.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. -- Romans 8:28, New King James Version (NKJV)

I Discovered My Purpose & it Wasn’t Easy

My church had been going through Rick Warren’s book, “The Purpose Driven Life,” and I was determined to know my purpose. I went on a hike one day striving to know what I was supposed to be doing. I even wrote a book about it titled, “Hardwired for Purpose: Blazing Trails to Follow God’s Lead.” That book took years to write and process mentally and emotionally. I expected the hike to be a relaxing time with God in nature; sitting beside a babbling creek. I thought I was going to sit there and get my life purpose while doing a Bible study. I had a backpack full of supplies. I had a couple of Bible translations, a Concordance, water bottles, a blanket, pens and highlighters, and my journal.

So I drove to the mountain trailhead where I wanted to hike and found a wonderful spot to rest. God said to keep going. I kept hiking up the trail to another spot that I liked and God said to keep going. I hiked about five miles up that mountain before I could finally stop. The place God wanted me to go wasn’t even on the trail. It was straight up the shale mountainside to a single pine tree in the distance.

In my book, I share all of the details of that hike, including revelation I received. God is so good. It was a hard day, but I learned so much that it was worth it . And best of all, I found my purpose in the sum of Psalm 96. Now, I know what to do, and I just need to work out the details as I continue my walk of salvation.

I encourage everyone to find their purpose and calling. Knowing what God has planned for you offers hope and a future. You receive promises from God in your purpose for growth and joy, and you can be sure that if you are still here, He’s not done with you yet.

A Song of Praise to God Coming in Judgment
Psalm 96 Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
²Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
³Declare His glory among the nations,
His wonders among all peoples.
⁴For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised;
He is to be feared above all gods.
⁵For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the Lord made the heavens.
⁶Honor and majesty are before Him;
Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
⁷Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
Give to the Lord glory and strength.
⁸Give to the Lord the glory due His name;
Bring an offering, and come into His courts.
⁹Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
Tremble before Him, all the earth.
¹⁰Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns;
The world also is firmly established,
It shall not be moved;
He shall judge the peoples righteously.”
¹¹Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;
¹²Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice
¹³before the Lord.
For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.
He shall judge the world with righteousness,
And the peoples with His truth.
— Psalm 96, NKJV

Can I Trust You, Lord?

Surprising Intimacy

I closed my eyes and settled into the silence. It started with a gentle kiss, a warm caress on my shoulder, then a more forceful embrace. The room in my mind was dimmed with red light symbolizing the perfect passion of Christ’s love for me (The same red light the enemy has stolen and perverted.). I thought of the Song of Songs and understood. The intimacy is remarkably blush-worthy. Jesus’ love excites His promise in me that I will be healed. This love of the Lord is difficult for me to imagine and receive. Growing up I trusted the adults in my life and intimacy was defiled. I didn’t know how much intimacy draws people together in reciprocal trust and care.

The truth is that people don’t trust God because they don’t trust people.

We’ve all trusted someone and have been let down. It’s inevitable that trust will fail on some level at some point in our relationships. We can expect to be disappointed because people are fallible. People will fall short of our expectations, especially if our expectations are too high, miscommunicated, or unreasonable. It makes sense that we’d have a hard time trusting again after we’ve been hurt. When we’ve been hurt over and over, trusting others becomes difficult. Which makes trusting God difficult too.

When we’ve trusted and been hurt, we can give people grace and forgiveness to maintain relationships. God does the same thing with us — He forgives us and gives us grace abundantly. God understands that we have a hard time trusting and He seeks our hearts anyway.

God’s compassionate agape love for us goes far beyond what we can ever imagine. God is trustworthy to say and do the very best for us. We can trust Him. God does not lie, so we can believe what He tells us in Scripture. God leads us in Proverbs 3:5–6, TPT saying, “Trust in the Lord completely and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go.”

Trusting God is an important foundation of our relationship with Him. If we don’t trust God, we will not easily enter our Secret Place. We must find the ability to trust Him to begin healing and growing in our relationship with Christ. We need to trust God and be receptive to receiving all He has for us.

Not Trusting is Not an Option

Without trust in God, we stay immature, lukewarm, broken, and fractured. We miss what is happening in the Body of Christ. Holding onto a lack of trust in God builds anger and resentment. Life becomes joyless, unfruitful, and stuck in cycles of destruction. Without trusting God, we stay the same, unchanged, with broken relationships, no purpose or vision, toxic, without identity, unsafe, and estranged from supernatural connection with Him. We suffer, remain discouraged, hopeless, scared, alone, and feel abandoned.

The truth is that when we trust God, He will draw us out of all the destruction caused by our sin and rebellion. We are in sin and rebellion when we don’t trust God because we are rejecting Him and all He has for us. God wants us to be free, whole, and healthy. He wants us to see the victory we’ve been offered through Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. God wants to permanently heal us, save us, and help us to know our identity in Him. With trust in God, we can find freedom in our Secret Place.

Trust Comes with Hope

God made us with a specific calling, purpose, and destiny we can only fulfill in our relationship with Him. Let’s receive more of God for our healing and to fulfill our destiny. Let’s live in our victory. Let’s bring our lack of trust and all our other cares to Him. Let’s surrender everything, even our lives to Him. It may be hard at first, and it may be a process, but we can find God our Secret Place. We can connect with Jesus deeply and enter His holy ground to receive everything He has prepared for us.

Everything we are looking for is waiting for us in our Secret Place. The desires of our hearts can be made manifest as we spend time with God. The exhilaration of freedom awaits us. Knowledge and understanding find us there. There’s more to the Secret Place than we can understand.

God’s Greatest Gift

““For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/59/jhn.3.16.ESV

A simple truth we can forget in our busy lives! So today we pray that His rich Love permeates our beings and we can be a witness to those around us. I pray we can represent Jesus well and be the answer to someone today who needs His Love.

Change Is In The Air

We are in the New Era and far greater a New Reformation. God speaks often, far ahead of what’s happening at the moment. He speaks to me in this way.

He never leaves us guessing about what is coming or what is on His heart. These things are His ways and/or His plans.

This was given to me from the Lord in 2005.
It seems very appropriate for today!! Seeing all that’s happening!!!

APOSTOLIC GRACE

So far these are the things that God has shown me about the Apostolic Grace….
It makes the things of God real in the heart of men.
There will be a direct hook up to God.
No more lying on of hands………..This he showed me (the laying on of hands is like training wheels)
No more patterns coming from man’s ways.
No more repeating in the patterns. Each one will be unique.
Each person will be individually worked with.
We are to lose or let go of known patterns for instance three fast, two slow… We cannot transfer into the new with old mindsets.
The old will not work anymore.
Men and Women will walk in the Apostolic Grace.
This Apostolic Grace will be used for planting seeds of what I call” True Love”. It will be Breathing Life. Leading people into the Glory, leading into the new land, knowing the plans of the new land, and what I call” mass worship”. Re-establishing of worshipping in spirit and truth. That actually hasn’t been seen in a very long time.
Teaching will be with out pride and with out payment.
The format will not be what we are used to.
We have to not be codependent in any form.
The hook up has to be fully united to the Father.
The Apostolic Grace will shatter the hard heart.
The Love will be irresistible.
The Apostolic Love will be the real expression of whom we are and what we were created to do not what others think we are supposed to do.
God had to have a Fatherless generation to imprint His image on them.
This includes ANYONE WHOSE FATHER DID NOT AFFIRM THEM AND FATHER THEM.
The Apostolic Grace breaks the religious spirit for good.
Worship will be a lifestyle.
All control in ANY FORM HAS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!
NO MORE CONTROL. WHERE THERE IS CONTROL THERE IS FEAR. THE APOSTOLIC IS LOVE DRIVEN!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE AND FEAR CANNOT EXSIST TOGETHER. IT REALLY IS LIGHT AND DARK!!!!!!!1
LOVE TAKES TIME. TRUE LOVE.
God showed me that Pastors are only like guide nothing more. This seems like a narrow view but let me give a little different viewpoint.
When a baby is being delivered, God is behind the creativity of that life and safely keeps the baby until the baby is fully delivered. He is in charge.
The doctor is only a trained helper.
I am not saying the Pastors aren’t SHEPERDS. In this time they are used differently. There will be a shift.
The other strong word I am getting is that if we criticize what God is doing you will stop the things that are about to take place.
We need to be especially careful. I also know he will use a lot of things to offend the human senses right now. He showed me since the people are having a hard time letting go, he will use things to offend to break them out of the mold they are used to and comfortable with.
We have shift into this different mindset or we will not go forward. Change is here…………

God Doesn’t Want a Middle Man

He Wants You

Let’s take a look at a few items related to our personal relationship with God and the covenant, and religion we now experience. In Covenant we are truly lovers and followers of Jesus Christ by the Word that is the Word of the Lord. In Religiousness we trap ourselves and we take our eyes off Jesus, like Peter walking on the water.

Consider the table below:

In Covenant	In Religiousness
God talks directly to you. John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.	We give ministers authority to talk to God for us. Exodus 20:18-21 Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off.Then they said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.”
Jesus paid the price for us. Galatians 3:13-15 Christ paid the price to free us from the curse that the laws in Moses’ Teachings bring by becoming cursed instead of us. Scripture says, “Everyone who is hung on a tree is cursed.” Christ paid the price so that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to all the people of the world through Jesus Christ and we would receive the promised Spirit through faith.	We pay penance by doing works for God. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
We have freedom in every area of our lives. 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.	Man-made rules, laws, and behaviors are followed. Romans 7:6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.
Everything we are blessed with is freely given. Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.	We have to earn degrees and certificates to be successful and approved. Matthew 23;1-5 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples,saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do to be seen by men.
God is always faithful to us. 1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. God’s faithfulness calls us into relationship, into a family where. We can experience love and growth together.	Man will fail us. Psalm 118:8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.
