Fulfill God’s Purpose for You

Apr22

Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”
Matthew 26:53-54 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.26.53-54.NASB1995

God’s plan, just like Jesus, may include our own persecution to the death. Everyday, everything, in our day has already been sifted through the hands of God. I often ask myself, “Why are you complaining, worrying, upset? Give it to God and press on.”

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.3.14.NASB1995

Pressing on we are trusting God to complete His plan in us and through us.

Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
Hebrews 6:1 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.6.1.NASB1995
‭
🌹So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord.
His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth.”
Hosea 6:3 NASB1995‬

Application of The Word

Jan8

“Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.
Luke‬ ‭8:11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.8.11.NASB1995

The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
Luke‬ ‭8:14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.8.14.NASB1995

🌹The word of God is of no use to you or anyone else unless it is applied to your life; unless it is practiced under the guidance of the Holy Spirit through prayer.

The Church – Equipped

Dec14

And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.  Ephesians 4:11‭-‬13 NASB

God has a plan. Every child of His He has given gifts for the edification and equipping of His Church, the body of Christ; to attain the unity of the faith by the knowledge of Jesus; growing into the fullness of Christ in us.

Unity. One mind, one body, one purpose.

One mind, the mind of Christ:

For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.    1 Corinthians 2:16 NASB

One body: The body of Christ.

One purpose:

We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ.     Colossians 1:28 NASB

🌹How is God using you?
