God Is Intentional, Trust Him!
God Is Intentional, Trust Him!
Contrary to what has been perceived by your natural eyes, and what we have allowed to move our trust slightly, to cause doubt to wander in and trouble our souls, God has you right where you are for a purpose!
Because He knows the thoughts He has towards you, you are not a mistake!
God has an intentional purpose for you in the earth!
Intentional - Deliberate, Purpose - Latin Intendere “To Stretch” Greek: Mello - to be about, to do or suffer something in the sens of purpose.
Luke 2:49 (NKJV) 49 And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?"
It does not matter where you are right now, God’s Plan for your life is still in effect! I know some of you feel as if you have thought so wrong, done so wrong, doubt so much, that you are out of His Will!
As long as you have not stopped believing in Christ, Who lives in you, as long as you keep your trust in Him and Hallow His Name above every name, God will never leave you nor forsake you because you know this from your relationship with Him!
Grace tells us that we are covered, even when we fall, God covers us!
Someone will say, well, I guess I can do as I want, no, not so because when you have a relationship with The Father, you will be so eager to please Him, you will forget those things that are behind you and press toward the mark of the prize. . .
Do not allow the pressures of life to persuade you and cause you to doubt the ability of God!
Some of us have become so perplexed with our coming up short, we do not allow the intent of God to direct us and show us that He is still keeping me!
Just because you have moments where you seem to have “lost it”, or you seem to have thought the wrong thing and said the wrong thing. You think God does not care for you anymore!
Just because you have to struggle, even when you are striving to do right always and it seems as if wrong is always the result, does not mean God has forgotten about you!
5 Build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit. 6 Take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters—that you may be increased there, and not diminished.
Just as God told the people in captivity, whom He caused be carried away, right where you are, in the midst of your captivity, I am giving you the power to continue to build and increase!
Do not worry about the negatives, let Me develop them, you just follow the instructions and focus on the finished work!
We get so dejected during the process of building, we lose focus on the finish work!
If you just keep on trudging through, keep on believing God and trusting Him, it does not matter what is ahead of you because you know that God is intentional about His Plan and thoughts toward you, I will prosper!
We have become so familiar with this text I believe we have lost sight of the power of His Words!
God says, “I will not harm you!” and because God said it, He must perform it!
So you can stop worrying and stressing, God’s Word will not fail, His Word is everlasting!
I know it seems hard, it may be difficult, or it seems as if you cannot see and end or breakthrough, but God says to remove those blinders that are blocking your Spiritual Eyes and allow your line of sight to be changed, refocused and fixed on Him, His Word and His Promises!
Boúlomai = Of His Own Will, To Will, Intended
God’s Will is for you to have a future and to give you signs that will provide Hope for that future! “An Expected End!”
We must not allow our minds to be conformed to how things transpire naturally; we must rest in knowing that because God is Intentional, this has to be working for my good!
God is intentional, all things are working for your good, Trust Him, allow God to be your guiding light!
Allow Him to be your cloud of covering, allow God to counsel you through His Holy Spirit, sent by Christ Jesus!
Some of us have become stagnant, due to your perspective of the current circumstances, but God says to change your perspective, for good and be not conform to the natural, but be transformed with the new thing He has already done!
It may not make sense right now, faith doesn’t make sense at times, but those who trust in the Lord, and keep His instructions will see the manifestation of overcoming!
Revelation 3:10–11 (NKJV) 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.
Believers, we are in a season where we must tighten up the Full Armor of God and ensure that we are covered by His Word! The Bible declared that Anti-Christ are here now, and they are spewing deceit and heresies into the earth and if you are not girded up, seed of discord will sprout in your soul!
But God has sent me to tell you, remain in His Promises through His Word; Romans 10:17 (NKJV) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Trust God, He knows His Thoughts He thinks towards you; that is enough, just to know that God is thinking towards me!
I must position myself to meet His Thoughts, not run in the opposite direction, but run to Him, for in Him, we are safe, He is The Strong Tower, He will defend!
Trust God, He has put Christ in you so that you will have the power to move forward; Acts 18:9–10 (NKJV)9 Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.”
