His Purpose your Grace

2 Tim 1:9 - He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,

Where Do We Go From Here?

More often than not we find ourselves looking for what comes next? Why? If you take a moment and think of how the natural man processes the “what happens next for me” question of life

I will do our encounter my next steps because I have done everything up to this point that directs me to this very stable thought process. My new promotion? new relationship? new purchase? Sometimes just the new direction. We think because I feel I have been through the valley I must now pass through the mountain

If it were only that easy! God’s purpose goes much further that the one step ideal process because God just so happens to be the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega, so He thinks on a much bigger scale from where we have been, where we are going, and where we need to be

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not unto you own understanding, in all ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

Interesting this is the only merit that you take up there is trust in God and not yourself. Why because the purpose of which He has designed you doesn’t quite need input from you and me, in the grand scheme of things.

Why Now?

The best question to ask about this statement should be why not? See the deal with our ideology buy our own existence, is that when the timing is right....in everything. Ill get married when time is right, Ill go on that vacation when the time is right, Ill clean the garage when the time is right!

Let me share a quote with you from a gentleman by the name of Dave Campball “When it’s not on God’s time, you can’t force it. When it is God’s time, you can’t stop it” Just like the calling on your life. Those whispers you have heard in your conscious, those dreams you have been having of life changing events, that things that keeps drawing you to Him and your not sure why? Not because you earned it or deserve it, but because you His plan for you is time stamped, He is waiting and waiting, He knows the calling on your life. He doesn’t want to wait until tomorrow when He has been calling you all morning, when your brushing your teeth, drinking your coffee, eating breakfast, even turning the device that is having you watch today.

God’s plan is here, its in the now, it was yesterday as well, but don’t count on tomorrow as its not promised. But His love, grace, and purpose has been calling. New members of faith, old members of faith looking for that respark, for that believer who has been serving in one area and being called into the new.

John 4:23 - Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

My friends regardless of where you have been and what you have done, He is calling...

Limitations of Expectations

We are a people who use are know hows, senses, and things around us to determine our next steps, our capabilities, and potential moves. Imagine if God accumulated everything around us up until our current point to determine our next steps. Where would that leave you? How far would your current abilities take you? We are capped off by what we can see.

Because you can’t see it doesn’t mean you can achieve it

Luke 1:37 - For no word from God will ever fail.

If God’s word can not fail I want you to understand that His spoken promises over you, your victories, your provisions, your everything also can not fail. Since the beginning of time God has been known to speak things into existence (rotation of the world, gravity, 70/30 formula for the world and a human body) So if he has been speaking things into place, God has spoken some powerful words over your life already.

Now its time to step into our own, with that 1 on 1 with God and take him out of a box that says He can only do so much or so little, and if you believe that His word is true, you need to start expecting that if God called you into a place, let it be done!

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”’
