Purpose, Destiny, & Your Mind "Principles that establish the mind for the challenges of purpose and for the accomplishment of destiny" |
The comfort zone for some individuals may be to 'simply to control the steps of their own lives.' When purpose is truly and confidently embraced, however, it will be the determining factor in one's priorities, scheduling, and goals.
When a person has no 'clear and definite relationship with their purpose, their own 'ability to be self sufficient can kick it,' causing them to become 'comfortable in their own ability to manage themselves, and the things that go on in their lives.' The tragedy is that even though this can be 'a good thing,' the individual doesn't see that this is causing them to 'rely on themselves, and not the Life Guiding Power of Destiny and Purpose.' They do not see that they are not 'confidently becoming what they were born to do.'
(You were created to do more than 'survive!')
True vision, not true fear, will cause the plans of your life to be defined. You will 'plan your life according to the vision and birth destiny of your life.' Your purpose will be the 'organizer and the pilot from which all other things will revolve around.' Your understanding of 'why you are in the world' will cause the Spirit to 'create a new career, insight, and creativity around you.' You will no longer have to juggle time to fit your purpose. You will no longer find yourself making excuses on why your destiny is 'on the backburner of life!'
Defined vision will protect you from the power of options, and even the power of opportunity. When you are not clear on where you are established, it will 'open your heart to uncertainty.' You will 'attract every, disabling opportunity there is' and find yourself in a mental maze of doubt and apprehension. But when you allow the Life of God to 'expose your inner passion, faithfulness, and vision, you will be protected from the enemy called opportunity.
You can 'self manage your life and produce an effectiveness that will cause others to marvel.' This can be good. But will it 'release you to the managing power of purpose,' a Life that will dictate 'your goings,' and not the 'other way around?' Are you comfortable with your life being 'dictated by the Purpose of God?'
Some individuals who have 'masterfully kept themselves in their own effectiveness' may not be too quick to 'release their controlling hand to the voice of Purpose.' This is the comfort zone of the 'efficient.' The efficient must realize when their management skills 'may be keeping them from a new depth to life.' They must realize when their ability to handle things are being 'put to the Test by the Spirit of Life!'
Can the 'efficient trust their efficiency in the Hands of Life, Destiny, and Purpose.' I'm not speaking of religion or 'theory.' I'm speaking of the Wisdom of God that produces the reality of one's destiny and unique calling. Will the efficient 'trust their efficiency in the Hands of God?'
NOTE: There are some things that one must lose in order to become. There are some things that will come by way of 'discomfort.' It is easy for the efficient to 'protect themselves from lost.' That is why they are efficient. But can the efficient 'deal with lost in order to become?' Can they see the 'investment of loss' as it relates to the power of purpose, and the advancement of their unique destiny? Mk. 8:35
There is nothing wrong with being efficient, believe me. But do not allow the power of your efficiency to 'blind you to the fullness of Purpose.' Do not allow yourself to become 'established in your own comfort zone of self power and management.' Do not allow the 'fear of the New' to cause you to 'manage yourself' out of it! Do not allow the fear of consistent responsibility that comes from New Things, to 'produce skills that will protect you from it!' uf~
It's easy to give God credit 'for one's own control of self.' However, can the One in Whom we gave this credit 'ask for the control for Himself?' His Purposes will 'take the control from our hands and it will set things in order itself.'
