Purposeful Pursuit: Finding God's Design for your Life

So, I'm going to stop this month. The first time of this month, exploring honest and faithful in Jesus.

Purposeful Pursuits. Finding God's design for your life purpose.

Desi prosecutes. That every one of us has been called to

Jesus told us that we need to sit. The kingdom of God and his righteousness. And then every other thing will follow. So, they fit speaking that we all must be involved in at all time. There's something we must be pursuing after at all time. Ultimate Pursuit is God, everything God. What's the most important shooting in God? We pursue is plan and its purpose for our lives. We possess you is purposeful life. We must have never ever be at the point where we are not in that Pursuit. I love the way Paul said it. She said this one thing I do love you, Philippians 3. This one thing I do Forgetting those things that are behind me and Reaching Forward to do things that I asked that. I pressed forward to was the mack of the prize of the High Calling of God in Christ. Jesus is a high calling. Everyone of us I love the word. Hi. Must be skilled at the High Calling over all of my life. This something higher greater more than what you have experienced now in God, that is waiting for you. There's something Beyond, if at all the challenges that you have faced that, I've LED you to this point, they are preparing you for that. I call it. We have not yet seen anything yet age. When he got saved by logical age, they still much more ahead of you experience. In golf they call him it's high, I listened because it high it requires commitment to be able to grasp it. It requires dedication to be able to grasp grasp it. You have to be clear high on what you are doing, what you are aiming for and Binkley eyes at. What do I am in for? You have to remove all the destruction. This one thing, one thing I do one thing and I was my life when you summarize my life, When you put my life together, you'll discover that my life revolves around one thing. And that one thing is to fulfill the purpose of God for my life.

Before 1:20, they met Paul and it came at you like this.

None of these things move me. We have to get to that point where nothing else moves house. You said, except that, I miss, you feel that passed that was given to me in Christ Jesus that pack of testifying to the gospel of God's grace. I don't care to do whatever. I don't care about all that. The only thing that causes my heart to beat Beats about in this life is so that I can fulfill the task that God has called me to fulfill what you to testify of the grace of God with that attitude of commitment. That the only thing that matters is the only thing that moves us It's the Fulfillment of God's purpose for our lives. I will pursue it. Everything must be purposeful purpose in every step.

Every possession must be towards the purpose are time, challenges. Must be approached. To God's call and purpose for our lives and that's what I want to start exploring today and throughout this month. So for my message today, the description, the major task is Jeremiah 29 verse 11 in Jeremiah 29 and 11. It says for I know the plans that I have for you. I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord plans for welfare and not for Hebrew to give you a future and a hope to God is saying that I may go to has a plan.

Is it good with a plan? They call me the man with the plan.

God is not plan list. For every one of us, you already had a plan before? We wait, we came into this world. Put a plan for your life. That's the plan. I want you to believe that that's a plan for your life. That's the plan. That's the plan is not ringing his hand and wondering what am I going to do? What am I going to do for you? You already know. So, what I want to share with us today in free, just entry points across with some, some point is to begin to explore something I have to Live Foundation to walking in that plan on leaving in the plan. So, my first point for this sermon is to talk about the power of purpose. The power of purpose, A, my second point is the pathway to purpose. The pathway to, how do you find the purple to talk about? How do you find it depressing of purpose? What's the heart of? A person of purpose. So let's go and start exploring those things right now. The first one is the power of purpose. I'm going to give you think I have five things in there that purpose. Would you in your life? What would you do in your life? The first one? The first one God's purpose. Prevails over plants. God's purpose. Prevails over? What Our plans. So we all have when I was younger, I had to plan for my life. Like when I was in my other plan for my life, for my birthday, I want it to be a very great scientist mathematician and philosopher who write poetry win, the Nobel Prize, I was the time and being in a b time I was young. I was already in Venton cuz I was creating things electronic things and they were walking and then got interrupted it. 16. I knew that I was very stubborn because if I do something, it's very hard for you to make me stop it. And it's not because I'm good. Nobody said I'm calling you to the mission and I'm going to train you up for it, if you stroke that everything, but then I ran away for two years for me. I didn't want to do it myself, then God organized, again, 1990 to 1999, through a book. And as I was reading the book how to contact with myself and give everything up, and I still can't get myself to this call. I'm glad I did. I'm glad I did but I'm telling you is that I don't know where you guys are really print in email Jewish stuff. I know that was a lawyer to train on that you know one of the top and everything he came from a very great pedigree, right? I put that post that all these things. I count them about the dog. The man.

Rubbish. But I might give Christ that I might know him and the power of His Resurrection. The Fellowship of his suffering guessing, everything leaving everything behind You may have your plants but I'm telling you that this is true. I plan to yours. This is superior to yours and that plan is good for now. I'm good for eternity, but I'll tell you that if you submit your plans to God and seek his plans out of, it will come in life that you never imagined. That commitment that I made to God, has come in life that I did not imagine that. I would leave how to become a different kind of life. I'm satisfied. I'm so in different places. I'm like, why do you give me this privilege? But I would have missed out on this. I want you to follow up with the plan of God speak first. The Kingdom Hall this tends to be what I know I got the money now or else. I'm going to be in the Global Leadership coming to begin to come to pass. I'm saying that I hadn't pushed point, cuz he's asking you what your father will have to put something fresh, you have to meet you at his ass to God. And then everything was stopped or what?

Amen. Hallelujah, I am under something about. I don't know about you clean. And I hadn't experienced in, Ukraine. Ching, my life and I said, I'm coming to Chicago and I'm going to help other people. So I go to a couple of people about 16 of them right away for one year teaching them something. Something about this thing that's 2010-2011. I'm about to just walk in with people here. Working with people who kept on walking walking

The penumbra. Hulu right now.

Came from meeting lights. The people that you referred me for it, the saw what was happening with living light. In fact, the one that's happening with moody right now. It was a student and I was working with that person individually. I did not know that was the end.

I had no idea but I will go to working with one person. What I'm saying in what seems little inside of it is Finger paints. Please do you plant you get planted as a tree and then the everything comes to the tree and then it spreads its branches around around.

Hey man, so we have to find the place. The

Have you ever got them. And I don't think I saw that thing. I'm going to be speaking at a church. I had a meeting with them this week on Thursday was very emotional for me. I don't know if you guys had my picture of

Why you doing that? Like I was asking myself. Downtown Chicago.

You ain't no point in this place. What are you doing? What are you doing in there? A couple of years ago told me something? He said, well, How many people speak such things time? I've been following so we will talk about what you doing.

and if I like your father, in this city who have so much about what we're doing, and I know that we're looking for him, like I was like, but God told me that before

Tell you, because some people think that foo foo walking ghost drinks for you. You have to go and start looking and look for what is told you to do and if it wasn't for you to do it,

That's all you got to do a man. Let's look into the what's the purpose purpose? Prevails over plants. In Proverbs 19:21 it says everybody wants to let go many of the plants in the mind of a man but it is the purpose of the law.

So many human beings. We have many plans. We have many things that we feel that we're going to do is come to my mind. You can watch right now.

That is the purpose of God for me. Is this the purpose of God for me? Because it's only the purpose of God that will stand in this life and Beyond. We may have personal goals and ambitions. But God's ultimate purpose for life is what will enjoy and bring us through for filaments. It's only God's purpose for your life. That was that was stamped. The only one that went 0 and give us to fulfillment true fulfillment in this place.

That's something that will stand for the seasons of your life. When you got your 20, 30 40, 50, 60, 70, 80. The wings of Life, cannot cause it to collapse when you are standing on God's plan for your life and direction. Purpose was talking about the pump for a purpose. Gift meaning I'm Direction. Meaning, I'm writing a book right now on the search for meaning and direction. Little people live in life that are meaningless.

At Peril be part of the symptoms of it of the pandemic is people hand in your life for a life, like The Walking Dead. You like The Walking Dead, The Walking Dead is alive, baby.

They don't leave lies lies, that it's hooked up to something bigger than themselves, to something farther than where they have to something that is more impactful than what they have seen. Something that goes beyond The Descendants challenges, the only place, the only see, the challenges in the context of something greater but it has come or the resources for something greater
