| Acts 17:26 – “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.” |
Each of us are alive at this time in history for a Kingdom purpose. We live on this planet, but we are OF a kingdom and our King is King Jesus and we serve Him and His purposes, and He has a divine purpose for each of us, right now and right where we are.
YOU MAY NEED TO HEAR THAT! You are not random and insignificant. You are CHOSEN and you are CALLED, to be a light in this world and be people that are FREE, that FLOURISH and FULFILL our divine purpose. This is what Ephesians 2:10 says about you: “we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Freedom is living as the true YOU! The one God thought of when he thought of YOU.
Galatians 5:1 says “For freedom, Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:13 says “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.” We are free from the power of sin over us and the power of death because we are in Christ, a brand-new creation. We are made to FLOURISH. Psalm 92:12-14 says “the righteous flourish like a palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age…”. Finally, we are called to FULFILL the works God has ordained for us before the foundation of the earth. The works He has given to each of us, specifically.
