Activate God’s Purpose

What are you intentional about? Things that matter or things that don’t matter? What, who do you intentionally pursue? Things that will pull you down and will only last for a fleeting moment? Who are you intentional about? People that will fail you and not live up to your expectations? What is your focus in life? What does your life mean to you? Are you feeding your soul, mind and spirit with things that are eternal or things that will perish? Are you intentional about coming closer to your Creator God, or running the other direction, toward things and people that will not bring you healing, salvation or deliverance? You have to choose, you cannot have it both ways. I urge you to be intentional about God, about Jesus and about the Holy Spirit. It is They, who gave us life. “The Spirit of God has made me, and breath of the Almighty gives me life.”-Job 33:4. Why don’t you become intentional about The One Who has a Divine Plan for you, The One Who knew you, before you were formed in your mother’s womb? “All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.” -John 1:3. You see, God has put eternity in our hearts. Nothing else, no one else, can fill that space, so turn around, and be intentional about pursuing God, and the things that matter to Him. Your best life ever lived will be the life lived in intentionally pursuing God. Do it! Every second, minute, hour, day, week, month and year, pursue God!

Don’t wallow and soak your precious life in self-pity, distress, misery, agony and thoughts of suicide! No! Do you know how much you are loved? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH GOD LOVES YOU? He will never leave you nor forsake you. “The LORD is near to the broken-hearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” -Psalm 34:18. Talk to God right now and hand over every rejection you have ever experienced and watch Him turn that into creative power inside you! He will heal you, if you let Him. “He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.” - Psalm 147:3. Think about it. Who can or will really help and heal you? They have their own hurts and heartaches to deal with. They too are experiencing rejection. “Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick. And I looked for sympathy, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none.” -Psalm 69:20. Allow God to turn the agony of rejection, into creative power and healing power! “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners.” Isaiah 61:1. Ask yourself, “what would I rather become? Someone who lives everyday in rejection, or someone who uses rejection to create, build, liberate, love, heal and comfort?” It’s up to you, dear friend, dear brother, dear sister. It’s up to you.

What is your condition? What is your situation? What circumstances do you find yourself in? How can you make things better? Who can you, should you, turn to, to make your life whole again? “Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.” -Mark 10:50-52. I pray you know that Jesus is for you and with you, not against you, not to judge and condemn you, but to have mercy, heal you, and make you whole again, immediately. Yes, immediately! Have faith. Believe and be healed.

Who or what has captured and emptied out your soul? Who has tampered with your soul? More explicitly, who and what have you allowed to damage your soul? Do you know that your soul can be restored? “He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. -Psalm 23:3. You are alive. Life is not over for you. Ask God for his restoration. Ask Jesus for living water. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you! Stay alive! Be restored!

You don’t need any more confusion. You deserve better. The world does not need any more confusion. We are worth more than that. So what is the answer to all of our confusion? Where can we find peace of mind and direction? Where can we find the answers that will uplift, keep, guide, protect and sustain us all? “Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” -John 6:35. “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable and perfect.” -Romans 12:2. “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” -Psalm 90:12. Dear friend, in this time of your confusion, in this age where many don’t know who or what to turn to for sustainable answers, let’s turn back to God our Creator and Source, to renew our minds and transform us. After all, how much has conforming to the system of the world really helped us? Let’s be honest to ourselves, and love ourselves enough to live life, God’s Way.

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me…” John 14:6 Which way are you following? Which path are you going down? What are the outcomes? Are the things that appear true in your life true? Are the things that appear alive in your life- giving? Can you really depend on, and hold on to, what appears to be the way, the truth and the life, in your life? Are things and people around you covered with truth or shrouded with lies? Find out. You ought to find out.

“A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.” Luke 7:36-38 Somehow, this woman knew that Jesus would not reject her, even though all in town had. Somehow she knew that while they rejected her, Jesus would embrace her. This woman had faith that Jesus would love her unconditionally, that he would not belittle her or crush her, or treat her like her life had been a complete waste. She was not invited to dinner, but she had the audacity to enter the house and go to the table, to where Jesus was seated. Whoever you are, wherever you’ve been, whatever you’ve done, will you have the same audacity and take the same step she took? Man may see you as unworthy and will not invite you, but Jesus is the invitation from God himself, waiting for you to receive peace, salvation, redemption, and unconditional love - the kind that only he can give you. You are invited, take the step and receive your invitation.

Who, and what, are you touching? How has that worked for you? Are you fulfilled? Did it, does it, bring you spiritual, emotional, mental and physical healing, wholeness and completion? “And Jesus insisted, “Someone touched me, I felt power discharging from me.” When the woman realized that she couldn’t remain hidden, she knelt trembling before him. In front of all the people, she blurted out her story - why she touched him and how at that same moment she was healed. Jesus said, “Daughter, you took a risk trusting me, and now you are healed and whole. Live well, live blessed!” Luke 8-46:48 We reach out and touch all kinds of people and things, searching for long lasting joy, love, peace and healing, but it’s not working and we know it! How long can we, should we, continue like that? All kinds of people are imparting all kinds of things into our lives, but we need the one true, genuine and authentic impartation, that will make us whole again. You are fearfully, wonderfully, and marvelously made, and you deserve a genuine, authentic and true touch. You need the touch of Jesus. The kind that only He can give. You deserve to live a complete, whole and fulfilled life. Take the risk and touch Jesus.

There is a wisdom that is ancient, filled with divine purpose, which only God can give, through and by His Holy Spirit. “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.” - 1Corinthians 2:10-12 Philosophers of this new age, of this present time, do not want us to know about, or, to acquire, the wisdom of God. They don’t want us to pursue and gain revelations from the wisdom of God because it will be a loss to them. They are afraid of it because, how will they become rich, how will they become powerful and popular, who will follow them, if we all gained God’s wisdom? That’s all they care about, not your soul, spirit, heart or wellbeing. God wants you to know about and walk in His wisdom. “We, of course, have plenty of wisdom to pass on to you once you get your feet on firm spiritual ground, but it’s not popular wisdom, the fashionable wisdom of high-priced experts that will be out-of-date in a year or so. God’s wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don’t find it lying around on the surface. It’s not the latest message, but more like the oldest - what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene. The experts of our day haven’t a clue about what this eternal plan is.” - 1 Corinthians 2:6-8 The experts have no clue. We, our world, needs the ancient wisdom of God, not the wisdom of the world. We need the Holy Spirit of God and not the spirit of this world. Don’t be fooled by theatrics, trends, fashions, flashiness and ever changing falsehood and pretense. The Gospel of Jesus Christ never changes. It is rolled out ancient wisdom that is filled with divine purpose for you and I; it is not wishy washy and will always remain the same, no matter what. Allow Him and His Gospel, by His Holy Spirit, to fill you, and turn away from the spirit of this world, and the so-called wisdom of Man. Be wise my brother. Be wise my sister. Ancient, solid, unchanging ancient wisdom awaits you with love.

“You are the light of the world - like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your Heavenly Father.” -Matthew 5:14-16 (NLT) Before time began, there was a divine plan, blueprint, purpose and agenda, in place, just for you. Did you know that? Divine Purpose within you knows that, but do you? That’s the question. Don’t you ever wonder what the full realization and manifestation of being the creation and offspring of God would be and feel like? You should. It’s one thing knowing it’s possible, it’s another thing living and walking in it. Will you take the time to find out and discover what Divine Purpose knows about you that you don’t know about yourself? Or, are you going to hide forever, under a bushel, and not be the light that shines?
