Embrace Your Process of Change and Spiritual Growth. Find Your Purpose

1. Plan

God’s plan for your life existed long before you were born. God’s plan is for your good and he will reveal it to you.:

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:13 KJV

“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.”

Psalm 32:8 KJV

2. Presence

You can discover God's plan for your life and what he is calling you to do by seeking his presence. In the presence of God you find what you need to live life on purpose and fulfill God’s plan.

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 KJV

The presence of God will give you a place of refuge and safety

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: My God; in him will I trust.”Psalm 91:1-2 KJV

The presence of God will reveal who God is and who you are in him. You will know that there is nothing you cannot accomplish that is within his will and his plan for your life. This will help guide your choices, decisions and actions.

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?”

Jeremiah 32:27 KJV

3.Purpose

A close relationship with Christ and study of the word of God will reveal your purpose which is first to love and serve God and advance the kingdom of God.

“Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.”

Daniel 11:32 NKJV

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”

Matthew 22:37-39 KJV

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”

Micah 6:8 KJV

“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 KJV

4. Power

You have been given power by God through the Holy Spirit to accomplish all that God has called you to do. God’s plan for your life has always included giving you power to accomplish his will. The Holy Spirit fills God’s servants and empowerment them to speak truth and glorify God. This makes way for the drawing of all people to the Lord.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6 KJV

5. Provision

God is your provider. He equips you and gives everything you need to accomplish his purpose for your life. You were uniquely gifted with skills, talent, skills and abilities for the call God has placed on your life. What he has given you supersedes any perceived lack or weakness. because scripture tells us that his strength is made perfect in weakness. Indeed one of the names of God is Jehovah Jireh, which means the Lord provides.

You must use and multiply what God has given you as illustrated by the parable of the talents found in Matthew chapter 25.

God will provide for all of our needs but we must put him first

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 KJV

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 KJV

God has ordered your steps as stated in Psalms 37:23.

Walk in those steps according to his plan, presence, purpose, power and provision.
