Born with a purpose
The moment we were born, God deposited a special purpose within us. It is there for us all to find.
But it usually takes a while before most of us discover it (once we become aware of it).
The moment you were born again*, your true purpose became activated and realigned with Heaven. Your true destiny is fulfilling the true purpose God had designed within you from the beginning.
*['Born again' = (when you allow The Truth, Jesus Christ - The Word, to be the Lord of your life)]
You are now at the place where you must stay focused on the path towards your destiny.
By now you should have a good idea, and hopefully, a fairly clear vision of your purpose and destiny. If not, let's review.
Finding Your True Purpose and Destiny
If you have gone through Steps
through
of this website, then by now, you probably already know your Purpose and Destiny (or
at least, you have some good clues to work with). But God does not always present your specific destiny to you in a clear job description
(as most of us would like), so let's go over the basics before tying your Purpose with God's ultimate destiny for us all.
The best way to begin the PROCESS of discovery, understanding and application is by asking, seeking and knocking - respectively (Matthew 7:7):
- ASK: Simply and honestly pray: "Lord, what is my purpose and what destiny did you place inside me?"
- SEEK: Expect Him to answer - Listen. In addition, take some time to recall and take inventory of your gifts, talents and abilities (because God gave them to you to enable you to accomplish your purpose and fulfill your destiny).
- KNOCK: When you are at someone's door, don't you usually knock to enter?
What is The Door ?
A door is a movable barrier at the threshold of a new environment or place of that is different from your current existence. But there is a protocol that must be followed in order to enter in Peace. What is the protocol? You already know it! Simply ask permission to enter by taking the ACTION to knock on the door. ...
"which will be opened unto you"
The door in the process that Jesus illustrates in Matthew 7:7, is not a physical door.
Therefore, "knocking" is a metaphorical term to imply an ACTION of faith in obedience to God.
(Ironically, sometimes the action God may require, could be actually knocking on someone's door! ... Be careful not to let that take your mind off of What the Holy Spirit is doing. This may be a special word for someone reading this, because God may open specific doors of opportunity. Remember to stay focused and don't let what is in the natural take precedence over what is happening in the Super-natural).
Before you knock and enter
If you're not sure that you are at the right "door", ask the Holy Spirit for a conformation from His Word. Usually through the process of seeking, you will already have a knowing that what He is asking of you is aligned with His will, His Kingdom, His Word, and His destiny for Everyone's Life as well as Your life.God did not make a mistake when He chose for you to be born at this time in History. You will be the most happy and fulfilled when you are living and working your life according to HIS plan rather than the limited and temporary desires of your carnal nature. The Lord does not contradict Himself, nor is He the author of confusion. If you are unsure or confused about God's will and purpose for you is, then it is essential that you get "in tune" with Him...
Stay Tuned:
Being "in tune" is a musical reference for both the musician and his instrument to be resonating in the same key of the music, as well as with the others in the band. King David is known as "a man after God's heart" because he seeked after and worshiped God from his Whole heart so much, his heart resonated with the Holy Spirit so that praise and worship came out of David's mouth in song as well as all that he did.The "KEY" that "tuned" David's praise to God and recognition from God: SEEKING GOD.
If your "tuning fork" gets stuck, try this:
- Write down your question(s) and then put them aside. If you are at a threshold or crossroads, you need to truly humble yourself and make sure you are not road-blocked by your own pride... 1 Peter 5:5
- Then spend some time simply worshiping the LORD Psalm 138 (If you've come this far, you know that this is actually one of the most powerful forms of spiritual warfare).
- Then, seek the Lord in His Word Proverbs 8:17
- Now that you have come your half of the way, take (at least) a 24hour period to let it all go by completely leaving it in the Lord's hands Psalm 37:7
- The next day take a few moments with the lord and review what you had wrote down. If He hasn't answered you already then intensify your seeking "the Habakkuk way" (see below), ... Wash (in the BLOOD) and repeat this process.
Isaiah 9:6 says that our counselor is the Lord God Almighty! He is the one who made us and therefore is the only one who can reveal to us our specific purpose and destiny. When you seek His counsel, there is no possibility of you failing in life because His counsel is excellent in working, (See Isaiah 28:29).
Let's look at how the prophet Habakkuk sought out the Wonderful Counselor, became a man of understanding and got clear on his God-given vision:
Habakkuk 2:1-3 (kjv)
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Note the sequence of events...
- You must engage in earnest prayer Habakkuk 1:1-17
- Next, get quiet before the Lord Habakkuk 2:1
- The Wonderful Counselor will speak to you Habakkuk 2:2
- When The Holy Spirit speaks, write the vision down Habakkuk 2:2
- Be ready to convey your God-given vision to others Habakkuk 2:2
- Rejoice, because God's vision for your life is coming to pass Habakkuk 2:3
The Door is a clear Path that you know you must follow with obedience, effort and action. It may be a single step, or a clear vision of tasks you know you must work with the Holy Spirit to accomplish. No matter how easy or hard the tasks involved are, your Purpose and Destiny will remain clear AND in line with God's ultimate desire for us all to walk with Him in Unity.
Some tasks require more WORK than others and may even be undesirable at times. Not only that, but the devil will try to discourage you by placing images in your mind that portray those tasks as being too difficult. But that is easily remedied as you turn to God's Word to combat the "arrows" of the enemy (Psalm 91:5). As many seasoned Christians will tell you, there is a strange Nehemiah Joy that strengthens you even against seemingly hopeless circumstances.
Oddly, the harder the circumstances, the greater your growth will be (if you faint not).
Remember, even if you build great skyscrpers - Buildings have no life. They are only dust like your bones as they decay in the heat of the sun. And just as buildings have no life except for the lives of men that dwell in them, men have no life except that God dwells in them. Or it could be said, that men have life only to the degree that they allow God to live within them.
It is the human heart that matters the most to God (John 3:16). Our efforts have eternal value when we overcome the circumstances (by God's Grace) to fulfill our destiny in helping others to receive and walk in the Kingdom of God - on Earth as it is in Heaven. That is why your destiny is worth building.
The greatest of buildings, the greatest of machines, the greatest of any invention that man can build on Earth is of NO VALUE COMPARED TO THE VALUE OF YOUR LIFE AND THE DESTINY THAT GOD HAS BUILT WITHIN YOU. We must learn this, WE MUST LIVE THIS, and teach it to our children. We are not evolved from animals because we are not limited by our (5 physical senses). We have the ability to overcome the limitations of our Natural state because we are Created by the Everlasting Living Super-Natural God.
The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life."
(John 6:63)
Note: Just to be clear and to dis-spell the devil's "New-age" mind-twisting: We are NOT evolving into God.
It is absurd to think that a child "evolves" to become it's parent. First of all, that's a mis-use of the term evolution, but the deception that it implies is pre-historic as it is the same objective of pride that was found in satan.
A child may develop and mature to become LIKE it's parent and even inherit the parent's wealth. But the child can never usurp the authority of the parent. To attempt to do so is rebellion that is based on selfishness, NOT LOVE.
As we seek God we are developing to become more like Him and His nature so our relationship with Him will be more mature and full. To the degree that you do not understand this, is the degree that you cannot see past your own pride. ... As it has been repeated throughout this website, HUMILITY is required at every Step as you walk with the True and Living God.

About YOUR DESTINY:
If you have followed the four-step path of this website, you already have uncovered some of the hidden mysteries of who you really are and what specific gifts God has given you in order to fulfill your purpose and destiny. You will also have come to know (and hopefully you have already begun to appropriately use) God's authority and some of the supernatural gifts as the Holy Spirit has directed you.Also remember that God has fashioned you and given you armor and weapons to help free others whom no-one else could reach. Indeed, You are unique, and strategically placed where you are in Time and on Earth. In Christ, you are indeed powerful (more than conquerors)!
In addition, you will know you are aligned with your specific path when your plans and actions bring true fulfillment to your heart and soul. You will have greater Peace and your decisions will be easier because your vision is clearer.
You will have passion and an unending drive to accomplish the tasks that God has set before you. Not only that, but you will want more of what He has for you, and He will give you more. Like a father loves his child, God loves you and gave you life because he wants you to love Him in return and He wants to bless you so much that you become a blessing to others.
The ultimate destiny of all humans is to Love God and Love each other in a way that is fruitful and multiplies. Unfortunately, we only see moments of this great Love amidst this world we live in. And even those moments are mere shadows of a much brighter future in the world to come.
John 15:16
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
