Purpose…..
Isn’t it the most saught after and amazing thing. Your purpose. the purpose of poverty and riches. The purpose we have in God’s plan. what is your purpose? what holds you from finding and following that purpose?
I couldn’t help but answer these questions for myself. And as I looked up for help he showed me some things to help put it all together and in perspective
As a christian you have taken God into your heart and expressed your love for Christ and thanks for taking the ultimate sacrifice for Mankind. So if God now lives in your heart for all to see it makes sense to me that there is a part of our fleshy selves that is Holy. It is not holy because of this world or because we are special. It is holy because It is occupied by the spirit of God in response to our Heavenly choice
Now just imagine the changes that happen in lives like Healing and addictions ending and Families being reunited just by the Glory of God being in our Hearts. Now Imagine if you opened your heart letting God spill out into your chest and consume your body. Everything living in you would be in perfect harmony with God. this thought alone gives me goosebumps. Now we will never be holy, only God can be that. But look my friends at the difference in the world that we could make if God ruled over our lives, Not just knowing what we desire with God but giving us the power to do everything within his will. Even if we choose to intercede with good reason on someones behalf inflicting change in God’s plan. Although this seems like a weekness in the eyes of those who battle to oppress God’s people it is truly his great strength. He is a loving God who listens and does everything for our good. So you tell me why it wouldn’t make perfect sense to change his original plan to another that is of good purpose because it is good for his beloved people.
Our biggest block from Heaven and living that blessed life is Sin. Sin is the name given to everything that is not of God. It is true that Adultery and murder and lieing are all sins worthy of the punishment of eternal damnation. So that being said we have allot to repent for. Christ Died on the cross as payment for all sin. But what does it mean if we just don’t care and say sorry once then enjoy heaven after a lifetime of Sin and tyranny.
For those of you who have children I ask you to think back to when they had toys. If those toys ever broke your children cried and ran to you. Sometimes they walked with there heads down but you knew if they were running screaming to you that they were hurt. They would bring that broken toy to you to be fixed, and being a gracious and loving parent you would fix it with all you had. That child was eternally grateful. Now we are Children of God and we are broken. God wants nothing more than for us to run to Daddy with our problems and our broken parts asking for him to fix it. But I see us do something else…..
We run away. we run from God and we hide in our sin. if we want out of Sin we battle sin. Now just think of the term “Battling Addictions”. This phrase is powerful. all that it implies and all that it is certainly couldn’t be a block from finding healing. or could it? You see the scriptures continually refer to us as weak and God as strong, and with God we are strong. So why do we continue to try and fight alone. Sometimes we even ask God for help then refuse to receive it. It seems so simple sometimes but I would like you to picture this with me:
You are a child of God in this world. In this world you battle sin. That sin you battle each and every day destroys you and you end up on your knees in pile of tears pouring your heart to God begging for salvation. I challenge you: Stand up, Get up and run to God. and don’t try to leave your sin’s behind you. Take them with you. There are sin’s in all of our lives that have attached themselves to us and our time spent at church and praying will not release us from them. Alcoholics have been healed in Evangel without prayer, Children in India are healed by thought and love alone. Why? How is this Possible?
God, God, God. Like we say at Evangel “It’s a God thing” come on……
If Sin and things not of God cannot live in his presence then I say let your sin’s hold you as you run into the Kingdom seeking God. The closer you get to God and the better you know his name the more he will envelope you in his love and Grace. The Pain The sin The hate The torture of the sin in your life will be left with no choice but to run screaming from the lord as any spineless demon will. God is perfect and holy so by default any touch from him will send anything that is not of God screaming in terror. Not just scared and crying as you were but In complete horror for the Glory of God is true power.
Now remember that purpose thing? If you are with God and close to God and have a relationship with God you can Bet that any purpose that he has, or will have, will be revealed. And with the absence of sin and the ever open invitation of forgiveness and love that purpose will be undeniable and nothing will stop God’s plan for you from coming to fruition
I put it to you my friends RUN…. Run to God and bring your broken parts and Sin to your father and he will be gracious and loving and in keeping his promises he will heal you, he will Vanquish sin, he will be your Father, and he will Love you. Run to him Friends. Run to the light and profess your love to your father and watch this world be lifted up to the Glorious God in Heaven above. Rise up and know you’re God
