Five Question For Purpose

Finding your purpose

Who are you?

Everyone has a reason for why they are here on the earth.

Our greatest day on earth is discovering Jesus, our second greatest day is find out who you are.

If we are going to discover why we are here then there are five questions that need to answer.

Renew Your Mind

Romans 12:1–2 NLT

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Romans 12:2 NLT

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Ephesians 4:23 NLT

Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.

Re-Something that was already there.

Re-Something that was already there.

New-Something we have not seen.

Renew-means that we are discovering something new that has been there all along. Before we were born we established our purpose, we knew our place. We have lived in heaven once before and we need to renew our minds back to how we were first made.

Jesus told us to come to him as children do, we have to go back and remind ourselves what it was like to think like a child in order for us to come to him as a child. In order to come as a child then we have change our way of thinking.

Who are you?

We are not what we do.

What does the Bible say that we are?

Ephesians 2:19 NLT

So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.

Galatians 4:7 NLT

Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.

:

Romans 8:16 NIV

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

1 John 3:1 NIV

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Galatians 3:26 NIV

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,

1 John 5:19 NIV

We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

We are citizens of heaven.

What does it mean to be a citizen of heaven?

A citizen is a native or naturalized member of a state or nation who owes allegiance to its government and is entitled to its protection.

We are residence of heaven living here on the earth. As resident citizen we have been given rights and privileges that no other being on the planet has. We engage in those rights by our allegiance to the King. One great example of the power of citizenship was when Paul used his Roman Citizenship when he was being whipped.

Acts 22:24–29 NLT

The commander brought Paul inside and ordered him lashed with whips to make him confess his crime. He wanted to find out why the crowd had become so furious. When they tied Paul down to lash him, Paul said to the officer standing there, “Is it legal for you to whip a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been tried?” When the officer heard this, he went to the commander and asked, “What are you doing? This man is a Roman citizen!” So the commander went over and asked Paul, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “Yes, I certainly am,” Paul replied. “I am, too,” the commander muttered, “and it cost me plenty!” Paul answered, “But I am a citizen by birth!” The soldiers who were about to interrogate Paul quickly withdrew when they heard he was a Roman citizen, and the commander was frightened because he had ordered him bound and whipped.

Paul was not only a Roman Citizen, but he was a natural born citizen. Most people had to pay for their Roman Citizenship, but Paul has his by birth. When you are a Roman citizen then that means that you are protected by the government, so if they would have chosen to beat Paul they would have been in trouble.

We are citizens of heaven, so we are protected by the Heaven on earth. We have rights, privileges, and God’s loyalty. In return we give God our upmost loyalty. A major difference in the Kingdom of Heaven is that it is a perfect government that is run by love.

Romans 22:24-29

We are sons of God.

John 3:16 NIV

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

We are sons of God.

Scripture tells us that have been upgraded from slavery to sons through the blood of Jesus. IF we can understand that we are sons of God then our mentality needs to be the mentality of a son. Sons have a place in the Kingdom that no one else has. Sons have a role of authority that no one else has as well.

We are heirs.

Where are you from?

Until you know where you are from you don’t know who you are.

Why are you here?

Why are you on this planet

What can I do?

What is my true ability?

Most people are living below there true potential.

We are victims of others people opinion of what we can do.

Where are you going?

Where will you be in the next ten years?

What is your hope to become and to do with your life?
