Dedication

I would like to dedicate this book to the Holy Spirit who has been with me throughout all my difficult circumstances and bringing me out into my destiny as a prince of His kingdom. Thank you and I love you.

I would also like to dedicate this book to all those who have spoken into my life. Your encouraging words are the reasons why this book has been birthed. Thank you for your kind words and generosity. Let’s all have a hearing and find our path!

Introduction

Embracing our supernatural destiny has already been ingrained in the heart of our Creator. He already gave us the freedom and the power of transformation to cultivate the life we want to embrace. This simple truth will radically change anyone’s life and change all of our surroundings–in our family, workplace, and culture. I have witnessed so many countless people stepping into their supernatural destiny and living a lifestyle of abundance as they apply the biblical truths to their lives. We are able to tap into the Holy’s Spirit supernatural power and release the prophetic declarations not because of our efforts, but because of what Jesus has done.

As the truth of our divinely assigned destiny is restored to our lives, many will come to realize that their work is starting to align with the word play. When you use work and play in the same sentence, you know you have found your calling in life. It’s disheartening to see many believers are struggling everyday not meeting their internal prosperity because their work wrecks havoc on their very lives. Their very spirits are being diminished by the lack of zeal and excited when work becomes harmful to their body, mind, and spirit.

Have you ever wondered what your destiny was? I was on the search for finding my calling in life. When I was fresh out of college I was panicking to discover my destiny. I had read though the Bible, countless self-help books; sought council from mentors, attended workshops, and even hired a life coach to discover my calling. It was very difficult journey of worries and fears, but with the leading of the Holy Spirit, I was able to find comfort and have a breakthrough for my life to discover the calling that Heaven had for me.

Chapter 1: The Purpose For Your Life

Radical Love Brings Radical Results

There I was at a Wednesday Night service watching “Compelled by Love.” Poverty was showing everywhere in Mozambique, but it was the light of God shining bright on Mozambique through Heidi Baker.

There was an ease of miracles, signs, and wonders that are common in Heidi’s life. But, it’s not that the supernatural events that intrigued me. It’s Heidi’s total abandonment for Jesus to show love to everyone whoever the Holy Spirit led her to embrace. If you don’t know Heidi Baker, discover what God has done in her life! She and her husband have experienced God's miraculous provisions and witnessed the transformed hearts of people caught in desperate life-or-death situations.

When I watched her speak about the love of Jesus, she had no shame or timidity. She was speaking from her rightful place from the Kingdom of Heaven. God is working through Heidi by literally loving people back from death to life. Watching her radical love for Jesus triggered my spirit to long for the One who longed for me. I was in tears throughout the whole documentary and felt a “pull” in my spirit to do more. It was not that I wanted to be a missionary like Heidi Baker. Almost anyone would probably desire to become a missionary because of the display of poverty. It wasn’t because of the that, but it was because I wanted to display my talents and gifts to show my radical love for Jesus. Heidi is a great example of someone who totally possessed by God’s love. She has become a love slave for Jesus. It is through Heidi Baker’s gifts and talents that God uses her to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth.

Let Heaven Come!

It is my understanding that it is Jesus’ desire for every believer to bring a Heaven invasion into our world. Kingdom lifestyle can happen for every believer when they choose develop the awareness of the Holy Spirit. So many are caught onto this notion that Heaven is for later and not for now. Developing the awareness of the Heaven will allow you to release the presence of God into the atmosphere. So, if you choose to remain conscious of your citizenship is from Heaven, you will be in position in which you will bring the Kingdom of Heaven onto the Earth.

Your Kingdom come. Your will be done. On earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10 NKJV)

God’s mandate is to bring the Kingdom of Heaven down to the Earth. It my belief that the inside the Heavenly Kingdom, the children of God are using their gifts and talents not out of duty, but out of their mere pleasure. God intends that we prosper in “all things” even in our gifts! Our gifts are what motivate us to spread the Happy Gospel that we believe in. Christians should most definitely be the happiest, healthiest, holiest people on the Earth. And I believe that when we activate our gifts, we allow God to set us up more opportunities to spread our radical love for God’s people.

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. (3 John 1:2 NKJV)

Is it the Lord’s intent, not in the millennia, but in this lifetime that you would prosper in all areas of life. Prosperity in this: having more than enough in a lifetime. To attract blessing we must accumulate the prosperity of soul, emotional health, and mental health. This is possible with the filling of Spirit of the living God because of the resurrected power inside of us.

The mind is glorious tool that God has created and we must defend it at all cost. When we focus on any negativity, stress, or misery, will start to diminish our belief in the power of the cross. But, the reality is that Jesus had paid the price for the freedom of the prosperity of our soul. Furthermore, since we are citizens of Heaven, we know that pain does not exist there. You see, in this world peace is the absence of war, pain, or affliction. In His world, in the Heavenly realm, peace is the presence of someone–God. When you abide in the presence of the living God, no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

The reality is this: Heaven is filled with perfect trust in God and has no shadows, but only the abundance of light. There is no place in the universe where the Word of God does not have instant effect. The Bible specifically states that He will never leave us nor forsake us–this is not something we need to pray for because it has already come to pass. The answer is to block the internal pressures of fear, anxiety, and conflict because we need to remember that our internal reality defines our external reality, so you and I will always reflect the words from the nature of how we live.

God really wants bounty for us in every area of lives. He wants no hidden internal bitterness or unforgiveness within our souls. We need to seal the idea that the people of God have come to salvation, so the enemy has no authority in our lives. Salvation simply means deliverance from torment and saving of the soul. But so many of God’s people have been struck by the powers of darkness and it wreaks havoc to their lives. They claim that Satan is working from Hell to kill the Children of God. I want to be clear that Hell is not a place where Satan governs from, but it is a place for him to be imprisoned. We need to turn around our terminology saying we bind the powers of hell, and instead say, we bind the powers of darkness. It’s correct theology to say satan is actually homeless because his rightful place will be hell, which will be his only home.

Prosperity of soul is being happy by having no affirmation from anyone else. It is important to know that the Bible teaches us not let the sun go down on our anger–having until the end of the day to handle it. Anger is a normal emotion, but it is not normal when anger causes us a root of bitterness and causes us to lash out. It weakens immune system and become vulnerable to sickness and disease: bitterness, stress, anger, and drains energy and strength.

It’s not surprise that you can just ask a person if there was a crisis a few days ago and find out that they allowed that sickness into their life. Bitterness is a huge cause of sickness. Emotionally carrying that stuff depletes us. Lets be honest, if a waitress is working in a restaurant being happy and cheerful serving the customers. But we can also suggest that there is another who is grouchy and bitter. Who is going get the bigger tip?

Jesus Makes the Impossible Possible

Whatever God starts, it will continually grow. Scientists say the universe is always expanding. We must continually grow and expand. We come from heaven to earth to fulfill our mandate. Not everyone fulfills his or her destiny, but like Jesus, we can also be seeds for the world. God will take any of our mistakes and use it for His glory. If much is given, much is expected. Let’s use everything and every resource we have for the Kingdom of God.

When people humble themselves and become dependent in God, amazing things happen. God does great things when His people become more dependent on Him. He wants to satisfy your needs in every area of your life. If it matters to you, it matters to Him. So, why don’t we pray more if God can make the impossible possible?

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18-19 NKJV).

After he rose from the dead, Jesus boldly claimed all authority has been give unto Him. God has the right to do anything he wants. Our assignment on Earth is making nations that disciples nation. To be like Jesus, we must be able to be an example for the coming generations that we can have what we say, not because of our efforts, but what Jesus has done.

Friendship With Jesus

It’s our connection with the Spirit of God that makes anything possible for our lives. He wants to use us to bring a heavenly atmosphere to Earth, so having an awareness of the Spirit of God is crucial because if we are not staying conscious of the God who invades the impossible, then we will remain inactive of bringing the presence of God to the Earth. The primary objective of the relationship with Jesus is to see what He sees. The eyes of Heaven are completely different from the eyes of the world. It important that we develop this notion: that when the impossible becomes logical, we know that our faith is being activated for the presence of God to be released.

Learning to have a dependent relationship with the Holy Spirit will launch us further into miracles for our lives instead of just seeking after the miracles themselves. Throughout scripture, it is an obvious that the Lord likes friends. In the Bible, It’s stunning what he does for friends. For example, David has won such a place with him and His heart, that the Son of God was also called the Son of David (see Mathew 12:23). How was he able get a place like that?

What about Moses? God was burning with fury when His own people were committing idolatry even after they have seen His miracles and was led out of the slavery of Egypt. But, Moses took his stood in the gap for God’s people and pleaded that his “fierce wrath” would not be upon them. So, how is it that Moses was able to persuade God’s decision to kill His own people when they committed idolatry?

Now therefore, let Me alone, that My wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them…(Moses Speaking) Turn from Your fierce wrath, and relent from this harm to Your people…So the LORD relented from the harm which He said He would do to His people. (Exodus 32:10, 12, 14 NKJV)

Moses was able to take place in the council and was allowed to make a decision because of his rightful place with the Father. This shows clarity to the Body of Christ that God desires His children’s inputs and is willing to allow access to change the course of history. The Father God wants us to be history makers for His Kingdom.

There Are Lovers and There Are Workers

Obedience is always important for the believer, but Jesus defined two types of relationships with the King: servants and friends. Servants are task-oriented and are only focused on completely finishing the assignments. They believe that they obtain favor by what they do. A friend has a different motivation–they obtain favor by relationship.

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you (John 15:15).

A servant’s main goal is to do whatever is said with no questions asked. They don’t have access into the inner workings, motivations, and thoughts of the master. The implication is that the friend does. The friend’s main goal is to have a heart to heart relationship–in thoughts and impressions. It’s not meeting the quota; it’s bringing joy through friendship.

There will always be lovers and workers. And the reality is that lovers will always get more work done than the workers. The lovers will actually have more done in the realm of obedience than slaves because they have tapped into another their realm: their heart. That contains their passion and intimacy. Many people fight for acceptance and work to be accepted to build an identity. Their identity is being built on effort, duties, and labors and they are hoping that they would be accepted.

It is different for who start off as having friendship with God. If believers start off in their mind being accepted, out of that produces work. There has to be a supernatural element in whatever we do because it’s the breath of God that makes the natural, supernatural for any area of our life.

Chapter 2: You Are a Masterpiece

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

When God calls us a masterpiece that means you are one of kind. There isn’t another you out there in the world. And God specifically designed you out of His imagination. The Creator himself uniquely designed you just like how he created the world (see Genesis 1:1). God wants you see what He sees. He sees you as his very own masterpiece—a beauty beyond all measure. As that revelation grows within your spirit, you will reach your highest potential.

The creator of the universe has already dreamed your path for destiny long ago. God has already prepared good plans for you to take in your future

For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

(Jeremiah 29:11 NLT).

When God laid out the plan for your life, He already lined up all the right circumstances: the right people, the right circumstances, and the right breakthroughs. The opportunities you need in life have already been preordained to come across your path. Your future is already released of favor, supernatural opportunities, and divine connections. You’ll walk into these divine appointments and it will be just as if you walked straight into God’s blessings without even lifting a finger. It’s because your success becomes His success. He wants you to fulfill what he created you to be on Earth.

When you really understand that God has already preordained your steps, you’ll begin to get excited about every single situation that comes into your life. God wants to bless every area of your life. It could be today, tomorrow, next week or even next month. We are not sure when it will come. But, it is important to already have acting in victory because we know out of relationship that our rewards are coming.

Expectation allows God to move on your behalf. Keep believing and stay focused on the fact that God has already released into your future everything you need to a success. Start declaring and decreeing seasons of increase over your life. Declare that favor and abundance of blessings are following you. If you do, you’ll move forward into your destiny.

My Desire Or His Desire

We must become a people of desire or else we will never effectively represent as Christ’s representatives on the Earth. The truth is that God the Father says that he will give you whatever you want.

You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it…

John 14:13 (NLT)

Many of you may be asking “how do I know if my desires are God’s desires” or “how I do know if this is God’s will for my life.”

In Psalm 37:4 says this:

Delight yourself also in the LORD,

And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4 (NKJV)

Let’s dissect the word “desire.” When we dissect the word, “De” it means “of.” The second half of the word “Sire” means, “Father.” In result, the word “desire” simply means all desire is “of the Father.”

Let’s dig deeper. Psalm 37:4 actually have two steps into discovering if your desire is “of the father.” The first step is to “delight yourself in the Lord.” This means that you need to be in constant communion with Lord. Setting yourself into the secret place with the Father by praying, worshipping, and filling yourself of the Word of God will cause you to shift your attention into His Heart. When this happens, you will soon discover that your desires start to shift into the calling that He has for your life.

I Must Decrease Syndrome

There is this religious belief that was developed from John the Baptist’s famous quote:

He must increase, but I must decrease John 3:30 (NKJV).

There are many doctrines that are developed from this quote that has given God’s people a deadly disease to not pursue their callings. It is sadly portrayed as a religious dogma that His people should not be increased, but decreased. It’s silly to believe that God wants you to live a state of poverty and with lack in every area of your life!

John the Baptist said this not of humility, but as simply truth. He was making the way for the Messiah because that was the calling had on his life. John the Baptist is not from the New Covenant standpoint because he was the last Old Testament Prophet. The Old Testament chapter was closing and the New Covenant was coming forth through Jesus Christ.

The religious spirit will command you to show humility decreasing. To that I say: No! God wants you to increase! Not decrease! Most Christians will be better off having mental state of abundance than lack because it will enable them to allow more of God’s blessing in their life. If you have faith in lack, lack will follow your life. If you have faith in abundance, abundance will follow your life.

I once had a sister in a church, who had the Holy Spirit fall upon her and her mouth started to speak in a new spiritual language. When the event was over, she decided to refuse God’s Gift-the Gift of Tongues. This did not happen only once, but twice! Because she believed that God was “too noble” (her own words) for her receive any gift from the Lord. This was one of the dumbest doctrines I ever heard in my life. She did not want to increase for the sake of “humility.” Learn this lesson: it is offensive to refuse God’s gift! If it is from God, receive it wholeheartedly. God wants to lavish you in the abundance of gifts.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven

give good things to those who ask Him!

Matthew 7:11 (NKJV)

If God wants to you give a gift, do not hesitate to receive it. God is a God of superabundance. He has unlimited supply of gifts and blessings and he wants to give them to you! As you do this, God will unleash your God-given destiny.

Chapter 3: Created for More!

Our Destiny consists of the things that God has intended for us to accomplish on Earth before you we to Heaven. The fact is that God already planned for you to do all good things. The lesson is discovering what those good things are.

The pursuit of your destiny is perhaps the most important thing you will ever do in life. Destiny starts to take shape in prayer, community, service, and mentoring. The intentional pursuit of your destiny empowers you to be the best spouse, parent, friend, minister and example of Jesus that you can possibly be. It helps to order your lifestyle and it focuses your values and priorities because it governs your character and integrity.

Your destiny is foreshadowed by your God-given passions and dreams, and emerges over a lifetime of prayer, fellowship, and service to others. The pursuit and fulfillment of your destiny is the source of your legacy in life. It is the basis on which you will someday hear the words of the Master, “Well done good and faithful servant, enter into the rest of the Lord.”

Enlightened Understanding – Renew Your Heart and Mind

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)

We have to come to the realization that we determine our own destinies by the choices we make and by what we choose to believe. Remember, circumstances in life shape our destinies. Every fear we face will bring us closer to our calling and make us realize who we truly are.

Kris Vallotton from Bethel Church From Redding, California says, “The dogs of doom stand at the door of destiny.” This means fear is there to keep you from opening the door to who you truly are and what you are called to accomplish in this life. We need to remember that throughout history, everyone who made a difference had to take a risk. And that is faith isn’t it? Faith requires risk!

The Hidden Treasures Inside Us

God has designed us with certain desires that come to the surface during our lives. They show up in the movies we like, the songs we listen to, or what we loved to do when we were younger. They are things that give us pleasure-hobbies, business pursuits, and various creative expressions.

All of our passions and gifts are important to God. Passion is important because if we are not motivated to pursue something, we will begin to lose interest. The key is to use what you have been given so that others can be blessed.

Sometimes we believe that our talents and gifts are not kingdom work because they are not directly related to ministry. However, God has equipped each of us to accomplish certain tasks through our talents, passions, and calling. This means that you have a treasure inside of you that only you can give to the world. The question we need to ask ourselves is this: where do you feel God’s pleasure in your life? As you look for your unique factor, discover what anointing God has given you.

For example:

- Joseph was anointed to interpret dreams, which opened the door to become second in command of Egypt.

- Daniel was also was anointed to interpret dreams, which led him to open doors to government.

- Deborah’s governmental anointing restored peace to Israel.

- David was a shepherd, which opened him to become King and lead Israel.

Your call is what you are born to do! Your anointing is connected to your call; all of your gifts and passions will be utilized. A call is always larger than what people can achieve by themselves. Your dream is too small if you can accomplish it with your own strength. You will know your dream is big enough when God has to come in supernaturally to fulfill your dreams.

If you are still in the “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure” stage, then that’s okay! You are in the process of discovering the unique treasure that is inside of you-your gifts, dreams, and passions. Just ask God for the right connections and people who can help us walk in character. God’s calling begins now and extends forever. Your calling requires diligence and discipline to pursue. God is committed to ensuring that you will never fail.

Chapter 4: Gifted From Heaven

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” James 1:17 (NKJV)

It is wonderful to think that God has already given us gifts to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth. God has already implanted the gift inside us even before we were born. It is interesting to see that the world doesn’t have a problem about their gift, but the Church does! Discovering what the gift God implanted inside us will awaken the supernatural destiny that He has set for us.

The Fivefold Ministry Gifts

God gives us different kinds of ministry gifts to fulfill our destinies. Our destiny is fulfilling our personal part of ministry of Jesus. We are recreated in Christ Jesus unto do specific good works, so God can display his wisdom through our unique diversity and is more committed to your fulfillment and fruitfulness than you.

God has given us the ministry gifts of Jesus to fulfill his purposes. These Destiny Gifts were given at the ascension of Jesus. These gifts have this purpose: equipping the saints. And the gifts will be in operation until the goal is achieved

God gave us these Ministry Gifts to equip us to serve The Church. God gifted many according to our unique design. Every believer can receive impartation from every one of the gifts and many are oriented most toward one or two of these gifts.

The Five Ministry Gifts:

1. The Apostolic Gift: God’s “Sent One” or Delegated Representative Mentoring and Mobilizing for Ministry, Mission, and Multiplication

I Don’t Have Any of the Fivefold Ministry Gifts!

Ephesians 4:11 “And He Himself gave some (hint) to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers”

You may come across this verse many times in your lifetime. What I never understood was that how can everybody fit into the fivefold ministry. What I noticed too in the church is that when get on fire for the Lord, we immediately think that we have to implant ourselves inside the church instead of using our gifts for the marketplace.

The fivefold ministry are not the only gifts! What I have learned from Ephesians 4:11 is that the fivefold ministry are only some of the gifts for the Body of Christ. Most people will go through life trying to fit into the fivefold ministry and neglect the gifts that are deeply rooted inside them.

In Ephesians 4:11, it says “some.” What is the opposite of some? It’s most! So what are most?

Here is a list:

- Bakers

- Actors

- Florist

- Graphic artists

- Gog trainers

- Tour guides

- Comedians

- Musicians

- Artists

- And much, much more!

Again, only some are the fivefold ministry and people spend their whole lives finding out they have different gifts. God has already put gifts inside us. What you love the most is your gift!

If you are truly part of the fivefold, the people of the fivefold will remind you. You will even see it manifest it in your own life! You will notice that you will prophesy to anyone or anyone that comes near you. You will prophesy to the trees, the animals, and practically preach to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Of course I am exaggerating a little, but you get the point.

We can know what are gifts are by what we do in our daily life: we may talk about it, think about it, and listen about it, anything about it! The point is we should know our gifts, so we can be the gift to the world. The gift is planted inside of us, so let’s identify the gift!

“But now God has set the members, each one of them,

in the body just as He pleased”

(1 Corinthians 12:18).

God has given special gifts to us and if you do are excellent at it; you will attract more people into your life. In result, you reach people with the Gospel because you’ll intrigue them.

No Jobs In Heaven Only Gifts!

You don’t have a job in Heaven – you use your gifts in Heaven to serve others! If you are an artist, you will have a studio in Heaven. You will paint because you love to do it! People will walk by your painting and see the fruition of your gift come to life.

If you love football, you will play football in Heaven! There will two teams playing against each, but Jesus gets all the points in the end! How fun is that?

This gives us a different perspective doesn’t it? Everything is given to you in Heaven. But, notice that Heaven is a place where you use your gifts out of pleasure, not out of work. Heaven is a place where God desires to see you perform your God-given talents at its peak level.

The Lukewarm Revelation

So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—

I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

(Revelation 3:16 NIV)

Over the years, I have seen so many preachers use this verse to try to make the people of God feel guilty. They claimed that you better start to “act up” or else Jesus will spit you out and throw you into the burning gates of Hell. I never felt enlightened by those types of preachers that only condemned and never edified. I am not saying that God doesn’t discipline us from time to time, but the Church needs to focus more on His grace, love and mercy. The Father of the Heavens is in such a good mood that he is delighted to see us in our everyday tasks. He watches over us not out of duty, but out joy because we are His child.

I am amazed by these terms hot, cold, and lukewarm. There is an astounding revelation from Heaven and basically this verse talks about our gifts! How you may ask? When Jesus says hot, He really means that the person is using the gifts for the Kingdom of God. If you are hot, you are burning with passion for the Lord–you know your gifts and are using it for Jesus.

Cold means that the person has not accepted Christ as Savior, but they are using their gifts for the world. This is actually a good thing since they have already discovered their and applying it to their lives. All they really have to do is to be born again and be using their gifts of the Kingdom!

Lukewarm is just like how it’s defined: you don’t know and don’t care, so you can’t be used for the Kingdom of God. That is in the verse God wants you to be either hot or cold because at least you know your gifts and are using them. If you are cold, all that has to happen is for that person is to be born-again and finally that person will bring glory to God by using their gift! Lukewarm brings a nasty taste to Jesus because he doesn’t find it pleasing to not use our gifts that he has given to us.

Jesus Has Gifts Too!

Our goal is to finish the race, so let’s not escape it. Throughout history, God has given dreams leading to destiny. Almost every hero of scripture was called to a dream or destiny and God wants to place His dream within you too. He wants your gifts impact your culture.

Remember the disciples who were with Jesus? They had gifts too. They were fisherman! In fact, Jesus wanted to use their fishing talents to fish for people to spread the Gospel.

Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men

Matthew 4:19 (NKJV).

Jesus had a gift too–he was a carpenter. By allowing him to flourish in his carpentry skills he accumulated a great amount of wealth. Have you ever noticed that Jesus never complained about finances in the Bible? On another note, Jesus actually had a huge house he was a very wealthy man–he lacked nothing. People even gambled for his garment.

After they had nailed him to the cross, the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice

Matthew 27:35 (NLT).

I truly believe Jesus never meant for anyone to be poor. And quite possible maybe, just maybe, our wealth is tied to our gifts. It all boils down to you and the choices you make. Will you allow that gift to rise within you to make impact the nations?

Chapter 5: Life Roadblocks

This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

(Joshua 1:9 NLT)

Removing every roadblock is crucial, as a steward of Destiny. Our Destination and our Journey becomes more precise as we go. But in our road map, detours and dead ends may hinder our journey.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin

which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with

endurance the race that is set before us,

Hebrews 12:1 (NKJV)

There are demonic forces in the universe opposed to our Destiny Fulfillments. The enemy has no other interest than thwarting God’s Purposes. Many believe that when you reach higher positions in life, there will be more demons after you. The phrase “new levels, new devils” is a popular statement amongst Christians who believe the Kingdom of Darkness is setting up more armies against believers with more authority. I hate to break the news, but the devil hates everyone. He wants all of God’s children to be destroyed whether you are at the peak of your potential or just starting to progress in your relationship with Jesus.

When we look at Jesus, he was constantly attacked from all sides. He was constantly mocked, ridiculed, and the religious leaders even tried to stone Him to death. The destiny of Jesus was attacked, but Jesus was a great example of someone who prevailed. What is fascinating is that the Son of God, who is all perfect and blameless, had to suffer during His time on Earth. Have you ever wondered about that–Jesus was perfect in every single area of his life. When taking account to all his duties and mandates, I truly believe one the reasons why Jesus was able to endure the enemies attacks was because he was able to be alone with Father. When we read the life of Jesus and his ministry, 90% of the time, Jesus spent time alone– willingly–with His Father. He often would depart from his disciples to communicate with the Father. Why would he do this? Yes, Jesus’ life was filled with exciting adventures with miracles, signs and wonders, while seeing many of His people being saved, but it also came with weariness and hardships. Jesus needed the Father–to be comforted and refreshed. This raises a huge question for us believers: if the Son of God spent 90% of his time with the Father, how much more do we need to spend time with Him?

The Power of Belief

Belief empowers, so if our belief is that the enemy has been destroyed at the cross, the enemy is powerless and useless–any attempt of attack by kingdom of darkness is utterly futile. With the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, no demonic force can proclaim victory over our lives. It is actually unbiblical to say that we are trying to achieve victory for our lives because victory was already achieved 2000 years ago. We are only acting from the standpoint of victory.

It is my belief that a continuous need of fresh encounters with Jesus will propel us forward to what we were created to be. The Penalty of Sin was laid upon Jesus and every sin has been forgiven. Jesus broke the Power of Sin and we have been empowered to bring miraculous events to our lives.

“Stuff” Happens To Me

We will never be able to stop “stuff” that happens to us, but we can change the way we respond to it. Failure is all in how you look at it. If you learn from it, then use what you learned as an educational process of what not to do in the future. Mistakes are this: just simply mistakes. It’s okay to leave it at that. It is dangerous when we make our mistakes become part of our identity. When we turn around our mistakes, they only become lessons for our lives. Don’t see mistakes as mistakes, see them as lessons–learn from it and grow.

When the past comes knocking on your door, remember who you are now and who are becoming through God. You can use bad situations when they happen, so they help develop your character. If you are afraid to move forward, then be aware that a negative force may be trying to hold you back by scaring you into believing that you are not in God’s timing.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear,

but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

You can’t change the past, but you can change how the past affects your present and your future. The power of God is available to completely transform your life. Fear is not from God. God wants you to excel in every situation in your life. If it matters to you, it matters to Him. Look toward what Jesus has done because Jesus Christ is Perfect Theology.

The Right Place At the Right Time

God’s will always comes with His peace. If God is guiding you on something big, He will speak to you through a variety of different ways. You will grow faster once you can begin to see yourself as you are becoming and not who you are today. As you grow and mature, God will test you for the purpose of promoting you into a greater level of maturity and influence. The ultimate place to be is mastering your life. God has been leaving us clues all of our lives of what we are called to do.

People often hear God or get their ideas while in the shower because it is one of the few times they are truly quiet and away from distractions. This may seem quite surprising, but it’s because it’s one of the few places where we are alone and able to listen. Sometimes God will remain silent until we do the last thing He told us to do. Try taking a walk in the woods and allow creation to speak to you through its beauty and wonder. Continuously, ask God to show you what it is you are destined to do because God loves you and He really wants you to succeed.

Chapter 6: The Practical Side of Things

Destiny and purpose are things that you were created by God to do or accomplish. God has a high calling and purpose for everybody. High destiny callings always require time and effort to develop.

Your destiny is based on how you respond to what God already desires for you. God’s desire might be for you to help thousands of people get set free from the pain of abuse. Most of the time your uniqueness is pointing you toward your life purpose. Dissatisfaction and a longing for something more will often drive you to find a way to something new.

The quickest way to get to your destiny is to realize that there are no limits to what you can do through God’s unlimited power and love! The secret is simply to learn to make good choices on a daily basis. Make decisions to improve yourself and take steps every day–even if it’s just very small ones–towards your destiny and calling. God’s destiny for your life will become clearer with every step! So, don’t worry! If you make a mistake, then learn from it and get back on track because is perseverance is the key to activate your life calling.

Destiny and life purpose is like putting major pieces to the life puzzle. Life is like a connect-the-dots drawing. Just identify the next objective and connect to the next dot, then the bigger picture will begin to take shape over time. You won’t always know what it will look like until you start connecting the dots and taking small steps to success. Even if you fail at a task, you will learn something from it and it will benefit you. There will be many life lessons for all of us to learn and if we quickly learn from them, we can significantly drastically decrease the time to move into our destiny.

As we focus on God’s will–which is positive and uplifting–then things like tragic situations, sickness, and oppression will no longer have power to discourage us. Life is meant to be lived with purpose and we were all designed to have passion for living. Whatever you pursue, it must be in God’s will and timing. God will show you everything at the right place and at the right time. He will do His part as long as you do yours. We just have to go along the ride and have the goal in life to be an encourager of other people by listening with our hearts with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Keep Your Eyes On The Prize

Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

I press toward the goal for the prize

of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

(Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV)

No one can fulfill your destiny, but you. Positive change happens when you make a decision to do something and takes steps to make it reality. You’ll never hit anything if you do not aim at it! Transformation occurs when you go beyond your own strength of decision-making and tap into God’s ultimate power and wisdom to renew your thinking and your behavior with the combination of practicing the art of making good choices.

When you begin to focus your life on what God shows you about your Purpose and Destiny, you will be greatly blessed. You must set your focus on being the best that you can in all that you do. If you are intentionally on pursuit for the process, you will arrive quickly as opposed to mindlessly waiting for anything to happen.

Practical Applications

Believing and then doing something practical in response is necessary to pursue your destiny in God. Many times, spiritual people get too spiritually minded and start avoiding actually doing something practical. Do not be reactive to life situations. Be Proactive. Being proactive allows you to try new things, make plans and allow God to guide you through the steps to your unique future.

A man’s heart plans his way,

But the Lord directs his steps.

Proverbs 16:9 (NKJV)

I hear a lot of Christians say that they don’t need goals or a plan because they trust and follow the Spirit. Not true! Jesus had the goal travel to Jerusalem and die on a cross for our salvation. Paul had a goal to go to Rome and witness to Caesar. I’d say it is okay to have goals, especially if God is directing you. Knowing what you want to accomplish helps bring clarity on what you will need and how to stay on track.

But, also beware of anything that puts the burden of performance on you rather than God. There are times in our lives when God doesn’t want us to climb every mountain. Sometimes He wants us to go around or not go at all. Rest in God, and know that he has your best interest. Knowing what to do to in a given situation is the key to being a man or woman led by the Spirit of God.

Asking the Lord to reveal and empower us through His Spirit is crucial for our success. It’s okay to pray this: “God, let me see you in practical ways.” If you want to experience God in this way, simply ask Him to make Himself real to you. Ask Him to surprise you with something that you know it’s from Him. Remember: God owns everything. He has a unlimited supplies of heavenly resources. God only has good intentions for us and wants us to succeed in all that we do.

Attraction in Giving to Others

People will want to be with you because you are a positive influence and they will feel safe around you. Destiny will allow numerous amounts of people to open up and trust you because people really like to be encouraged and lifted up. The fun part of focusing on blessing people is that, if you do these things regularly, the principle of sowing and reaping will eventually kick in–what you put in, must come out! Your life will be overflowing with goodness from what you gave to others to the point that you cannot help, but change the world around you. Simply, what you sow is what you will reap. If you sow grumbling, doubt, fear, depression, anxiety, and complaining, then that is what you will get in return.

Giving creates an attraction in your life that draws blessing back to you. The principle of generosity and giving goes a way beyond money. It is giving of your love, time, energy, comfort, attention, and your resources. It is helping someone in need, not because you owe anything, but simply because you want to show pour out God’s love on them.

If you need begin doing good things on a daily basis such as showing grace, gratitude, and generosity, you will be overflowing with these same qualities. Blessings will start coming back to you continuously because you keep giving!

Your life purpose involves a unique assignment from God that includes developing yourself spiritually and growing in godly character. God wants to use you uniquely in the special way that you were already created. It will be unique based on your distinctive characteristics and life experiences. You don’t have to repay God for the life that He has been given you. God is a good of giving good gifts. He is not angry with you, nor does He hate you. God loves you so much that He gives us the freedom to choose or to reject His love. If God forced love on us, it would not be love at all!

When you seek God’s plan and purpose, you will come to a place where things become will show clarity and you will discover a deeper relationship with God in the process. Your prayers will be answered more readily because you are getting into synchronization with God’s purpose for your life. There will be a heart-to-heart connection with the Father–it is as though you suddenly know what and when to pray. It is very clear that answered prayers and a closer relationship with God are all linked to finding your purpose and pursuing your destiny.

And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the

reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

Colossians 3:23-24 (NKJV)

If you really want to change your life then work at your job, go to your school, or do any task given to you as if you are working for God. When you change your behavior in the present, you are then changing your future. As we see the future clearly in the heart of Father, we will experience a level of excitement in anticipation of the day when all that we dream of will become a reality.

A.S.K Principle

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find;

knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who

asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him

who knocks it will be opened.

(Matthew 7:7-8 NKJV)

Keep Asking! Keep Seeking! Keep Knocking! Don’t stop doing those three things. If you notice ask, seek, and knock are all proactive steps. Getting clear about what you want and taking small steps to will remove a whole lot of stress in your life. Remind yourself of who you really are– see how God sees you. My advice to you is to faithfully commit yourself to being the best you can with every door of opportunity that God opens to you. Change is a process and God will give you the strength to accomplish what you need. Your life on earth is about accomplishing what you feel destined by God to do and in the process, becoming more in the nature of Christ. Remember this: life is a gift, love is a gift, and so be a giver of life. Love by applying what you have learned and help others who are on pursuit of their destiny.

With men this is impossible,

but with God all things are possible.

(Matthew 19:26 NKJV)
