Your LIFE's got PURPOSE

 

Proverbs 16:9

King James Version

9 A man's heart deviseth his way: 

but the Lord directeth his steps.

Have you found your purpose?

Don't worry if you haven't.

Many adults are still finding theirs.

We're all on the same boat.

One way to look for it, is pretty simple.

Observe what you're good at.

What are your talents?

What's your character?

What makes you happy?

What do you love working on?

What do you love sharing with others?

What would you share, even if you don't get paid for it?

What grows strongly in your heart?

All these are wonderful.

But imagine if you had GOD's SPIRIT in you.

Boy, the stuff you can find out.

The way SPIRIT will power you.

The way to have GOD's SPIRIT in you, was spoken of by JESUS.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

Being born again, and having GOD's SPIRIT in you, is the MOST BEAUTIFUL thing in the world.

No personal glory, or possessions, can compare.

Those are things of the world.

With SPIRIT, everything will be made clear to you.

Scripture will become easy to understand.

You will be able to piece your life together.

Things are going to make sense.

Only GOD can answer EVERYTHING you want to ask Him.

Try it sometime.

Pray to JESUS, with all heart, and sincerity.

Pour out your heart to Him.

He has no use for intellect.

He only cares to know what is in your heart.

Be childlike with Him.

JESUS loves that.

Ask Him about your purpose.

Why are you here on earth?

Why is your life the way it is?

What are you doing right?

What are you doing wrong?

What could you be doing better?

Have JESUS reveal to you what you're destined to be.

And if you're a person who loves paying attention to signs, symbols, dreams, prompts, wait till you are activated and anointed by the SPIRIT of GOD.

You will have complete confidence in all you do.

That cannot be said of the world.

The world always tries to give you pieces to the puzzle.

NEVER the WHOLE puzzle.

But GOD will show you what you're cut out for, if you believe in His SON, and if you live by His WORD.

GOD is generous.

It's time you walked.

In the direction of GOD.

Through JESUS.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

BOY or GIRL?

 

Genesis 1:27

King James Version

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.

"It's a boy!"

"It's a girl!"

Those are what we have come to know, the day we were born.

What caused the deviation?

Or, who did?

Who else causes confusion?

Who else causes man to sin?

Who else mocks God's creation?

Who else plants seeds of doubt in our minds?

1 Peter 5:8

King James Version

8 Be sober, 

be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:

Where the enemy is, expect deception, distortion, deviation, and destruction.

He will fill us with perverse thoughts.

But GOD's creation was clear:

Genesis 5:2

King James Version

2 Male and female created he them; 

and blessed them, 

and called their name Adam, 

in the day when they were created.

JESUS was clear:

Matthew 19:4

King James Version

4 And he answered and said unto them, 

Have ye not read, 

that he which made them at the beginning 

made them male and female,

SCRIPTURE pointed out the perversion:

Romans 1:26-27

King James Version

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: 

for even their women did change the natural use 

into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, 

leaving the natural use of the woman, 

burned in their lust one toward another; 

men with men working that which is unseemly, 

and receiving in themselves 

that recompence of their error which was meet.

The fallen flesh is really an abomination to God.

Galatians 5:19-21

King James Version

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, 

which are these; 

Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, 

wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, 

and such like: 

of the which I tell you before, 

as I have also told you in time past,

 that they which do such things 

shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Let us walk in the SPIRIT.

That we may be saved from further sin.

Galatians 5:16-17

King James Version

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 

and the Spirit against the flesh: 

and these are contrary the one to the other: 

so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

We are to hold our bodies sacred, for this reason:

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

King James Version

19 What? know ye not 

that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost 

which is in you, 

which ye have of God, 

and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: 

therefore glorify God in your body, 

and in your spirit, 

which are God's.

JESUS asked we be perfect.

Matthew 5:48

King James Version

48 Be ye therefore perfect, 

even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

To the believing mind, you will want to be obedient to GOD.

To the unbelieving mind, you will find excuses not to obey.

There is such a thing as the WRATH of GOD.

Romans 1:18

King James Version

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven 

against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, 

who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Would you be prepared for that?

Ecclesiastes 11:9

King James Version

9 Rejoice, 

O young man, 

in thy youth; 

and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, 

and walk in the ways of thine heart, 

and in the sight of thine eyes: 

but know thou, 

that for all these things God will bring thee 

into judgment.

SPIRIT and I created this blog to equip you.

For there is much pressure in the world.

To conform.

But not to be obedient to God's laws.

No wonder, young people are confused.

TRUTH is hidden from you.

Unless you are born again, taught by SPIRIT, you won't be equipped.

GOD has been taken out of the world system.

Everything was designed for the enemy.

And for unbelievers' destruction.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded 

the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.

We are being prepped, and baked, for the deceiver.

We will all burn in the fires of hell, unless we got to know GOD's TRUTH, which can be summed up in these verses.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

John 10:30

King James Version

30 I and my Father are one.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

King James Version

3 For I delivered unto you first of all 

that which I also received, 

how that Christ died for our sins 

according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, 

and that he rose again the third day 

according to the scriptures:

John 1:12-13

King James Version

12 But as many as received him, 

to them gave he power to become the sons of God, 

even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, 

not of blood, 

nor of the will of the flesh, 

nor of the will of man, 

but of God.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

John 1:14

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, 

and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

John 11:25

King James Version

25 Jesus said unto her, 

I am the resurrection, 

and the life: 

he that believeth in me, 

though he were dead, 

yet shall he live:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

The world will apply pressure, for you to conform.

GOD only wants that you confirm.

That you are HIS.

What does fear GOD mean?

 

Proverbs 8:13

King James Version

13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: 

pride, 

and arrogancy, 

and the evil way, 

and the froward mouth, 

do I hate.

There's confusion about what it means to fear GOD.

The enemy has twisted it, to serve his purpose.

But Scripture makes things clear:

2 Timothy 1:7

King James Version

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; 

but of power, 

and of love, 

and of a sound mind.

Fear GOD when you commit sin, willfully.

Well aware of the consequences, you still keep at it.

There's such a thing as WRATH of GOD.

It's really foolish to test God's love, and patience.

Would you do that to your heavenly FATHER, when he's got other kids to attend to?

That's about 7.9 billion people in the world.

They're our brothers, and sisters, too.

Are we that greedy, and inconsiderate, we don't think of others who may need God, too?

Remember this verse JESUS spoke of, each time you knowingly test God's patience:

John 8:44

King James Version

44 Ye are of your father the devil, 

and the lusts of your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning, 

and abode not in the truth, 

because there is no truth in him. 

When he speaketh a lie, 

he speaketh of his own: 

for he is a liar, 

and the father of it.

But don't fear God when you want to ask Him something.

Wanting to ask Him questions about life, about things you can't figure out.

In fact, you can ask God ANYTHING.

How else would a father be, if you can't approach Him?

GOD is patient, loving, merciful, longsuffering.

He is DEFINITELY LOVING.

Have a look at His generosity.

He loves that you seek Him.

Psalm 14:2

King James Version

2 The Lord looked down from heaven 

upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, 

and seek God.

Go to Him, as a child would.

JESUS commanded us to:

Matthew 18:3

King James Version

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

He loved little children coming to Him.

Matthew 19:13-15

King James Version

13 Then were there brought unto him little children, 

that he should put his hands on them, 

and pray: 

and the disciples rebuked them.

14 But Jesus said, 

Suffer little children, 

and forbid them not, 

to come unto me: 

for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

15 And he laid his hands on them, 

and departed thence.

After coming to know the Bible as born again, I understood what fearing GOD meant.

Fear GOD if you sin willfully.

Fear GOD if you challenge His authority.

Fear GOD if you mock His SPIRIT.

Fear GOD if you chose the enemy's side.

Oh, fear Him that much.

Literally quake in your shoes.

You have no idea GOD's POWER.

NEVER challenge God.

NEVER mock Him.

Rather, get to know Him.

LOVE Him.

ADORE Him.

WORSHIP Him.

THANK Him.

ASK Him ANYTHING.

Your heavenly FATHER loves you so.

He waits for you to come around.

He's got forever.

You don't.

2 Peter 3:8

King James Version

8 But, beloved, 

be not ignorant of this one thing, 

that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, 

and a thousand years as one day.

EMBRACE GOD, not technology

 

Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.

I won't separate you from your phone.

Nor your laptop.

Nor whatever tech occupies you.

They say generations have different styles.

Maybe so.

I think, the enemy know the right things to create.

To keep people absorbed in self.

And not believe God.

GOD is a LIVING GOD.

Machines aren't alive.

They will NEVER be alive.

No matter what the A.I. scientists or engineers create.

Or want you to believe.

Machines will NEVER be alive.

Nothing could be more superficial than a talking robot.

Even if they've made him so lifelike, and human-like.

We are deluding ourselves in thinking so.

They can never choose the right spouse for us, through their apps.

They can never diagnose accurately the disease that ail us.

They can never create organs, to replace our own.

For the LIVING GOD is not in such high-tech methods.

His SPIRIT lives in us.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17

King James Version

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, 

and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 If any man defile the temple of God, 

him shall God destroy; 

for the temple of God is holy, 

which temple ye are.

Exactly why our genes are being mapped out.

To find GOD's secrets.

As if God would allow that.

Well, the LORD will -- to a point.

To serve His purpose.

But let's not delude ourselves into thinking God will spill His secrets to the unbelieving mind.

He gave us His SON, to believe in.

Even if JESUS would be here now, He will not touch technology.

He doesn't need it.

He will merely lead you back to the FATHER.

He will ask you to love GOD.

He will ask you to love each other.

He will ask you to REPENT, and BELIEVE the GOSPEL.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

He will ask you to be born again, that you may have GOD's SPIRIT in you.

John 3:5-7

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

Everything of the world seems to be a mockery of what and how God created.

GOD created with purity, perfection, and precision.

Man creates, with profit in mind.

We do not have the purity of JESUS.

Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;

I am here to get you back with the LORD.

By reading the Bible.

By believing in JESUS.

By loving GOD.

By being born again.

By praying to JESUS for everything.

By waiting for an answer from the SPIRIT of GOD.

And simply, to be obedient to the LORD's commandments.

Every moment spent on addictive apps, is a moment spent away from GOD.

God has forever.

We don't.

May we be blameless, when the time comes.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

King James Version

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; 

and I pray God your whole spirit and soul 

and body be preserved blameless 

unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

CAUSE of EARLY mistakes

 Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.

Peer pressure.

That's the cause of our early mistakes.

We give in to the group.

We allow ourselves to fit in.

Even if we're not like others.

Even if we don't like them.

Even if they don't like us.

Even if we don't like their ways.

But we want to be liked.

So we try to fit in.

We want to be cool.

We want to be accepted.

Not that others care.

They just want to have fun.

And if you're not in it, might as well get out.

But you don't choose to.

We give in to peer pressure.

And the wheels of disaster follow closely.

Pregnancies, abortions, alienation from families result.

But what if you lived by the Bible?

What if you listened to the WORD of GOD?

What if you truly loved God?

What if you were taught by your parents to be wise, through Jesus?

What if you were spiritually equipped to handle all pressures, and temptations?

What if you didn't give in?

What if you knew better?

Would you really listen to that wisdom?

Would you listen to your parents?

Would you follow the commandments of God?

What if your parents weren't sterling examples?

Would you still give in to that kind of pressure?

Or would you choose differently?

I hope you do.

For your sake.

And for the LOVE of GOD.

A NOTE for YOUNG people

 

1 Timothy 4:12

King James Version

12 Let no man despise thy youth; 

but be thou an example of the believers, 

in word, in conversation, 

in charity, in spirit, 

in faith, in purity.

Lost?

Bored?

Confused?

Indifferent?

Jaded?

Even mad?

We don't blame you.

It could be a cruel, crazy world.

The world can't really offer lasting answers.

It wasn't designed to.

Only Scripture can.

It's from this premise that we offer you this new blog.

To share GOD's WORD, as guided by His SPIRIT.

GOD's got ALL the ANSWERS.

To end all confusion.

Regarding life, work, relationships, gender, spirituality.

His WORD will answer all that.

Purely, perfectly, and precisely.

And if you don't believe that, wait till you read the next posts.

Hope aboard!

Oh, I meant hop aboard.

Doesn't matter really, does it?

Same idea.
