PREFACE SUMMARY
Dear reader, discovering your true calling is the key to unlocking a life of purpose and fulfillment. With the proper guidance, you can uncover the path leading you to a meaningful life. This message is intended to remind us all that each of us has a unique and special role in this world.
By discovering and understanding our purpose, which acts as the driving force behind our vision, we can get a glimpse of the invisible God and realize the potential within us. Finding one's purpose can be challenging and daunting, but it is essential in creating a fulfilling and meaningful life. It requires a deep level of introspection and self-reflection and a willingness to explore our passions, values, and beliefs.
To discover our purpose, we must first identify our passions and interests. We need to ask ourselves what we enjoy doing and what makes us happy. We must also consider our values and beliefs, which can help us determine the direction we want to take in life.
Once we have identified our passions, values, and beliefs, we need to acknowledge them and actively align our actions with them. This commitment to living in accordance with our values and beliefs can inspire us and make a meaningful contribution to the world.
Beloved, once you have identified your purpose, you can align your actions and goals with it, creating a clear direction for your life. Living a purpose-driven life brings a sense of fulfillment and joy that cannot be found anywhere else. Remember, you are uniquely gifted with talents, skills, and experiences that make you who you are. Embrace your individuality, and trust that you can positively impact the world.
This message is dedicated to a trusted friend whose daughter, who had several small children, decided to take her life because she could not find a reason to live. I want you all to know that I, too, have been in a dark situation and attempted to take my own life because I could not find the answers I needed to live, and it was in that horrible nightmare, which lasted close to ten years, that I met the God of the Bible and discovered that He had a plan for my life and knew that I would be writing this message today.
Beloved Saints, did you know that your fingerprints are developed at three months in the womb, and no one on Earth has your DNA or fingerprints? This means you are unique and have a divine purpose.
Everyone born on this planet was created to stand out as unique. People may be from a different culture or nation, but they have a divine purpose. They could be a dictator ruling with an iron fist, but they have a divine purpose. They may have been a murderer, a rapist, or may even be mixed up in their gender, but they have a divine purpose for being here.
Beloved, if we view them as who they are or what they have done, then we have failed to see how God sees them, and we may have been the very ones that God would use to help them discover their purpose. Most people growing up, have a deep craving, including a deep desire inside, to learn and feel respected and accepted for who they are.
Dear reader, I invite you to prayerfully open your mind and allow the Holy Spirit to enrich your life through this message opening up your heart to discover your divine gifts, talents, and treasures within you, just waiting to be discovered. Remember that you have a unique purpose.
Please know and understand that you were created to fill a specific role no one else can. God created you with a specific plan in mind; it is up to you to discover and fulfill that plan. He has placed within you the desires, gifts, talents and passions that are necessary for you to achieve your purpose.
God paced the plans for our life within us when we were born, which is why we are to delight ourselves in Him, and when we delight ourselves in him and his word, He will bring these hidden desires into reality. It is essential to remember that God is always with you, and He will guide you as you seek to fulfill your purpose.
In conclusion, discovering our purpose is essential to creating a fulfilling and meaningful life. It requires us to be introspective, self-reflective, and open to new experiences. By aligning our actions with our values and beliefs, we can create a life that is authentic to ourselves and make a meaningful contribution to the world around us.
"GOD'S PLAN HAS BEEN REVEALED."
Dear reader, did you know that the unfathomable plan of the Almighty has been fully disclosed and made known to us. The intricate details of His grand design have been laid bare before our eyes, revealing the purpose and meaning of our existence. It is a plan that transcends time and space, encompassing humanity and the cosmos.
Beloved, this unique plan promises redemption, forgiveness, and everlasting life to those who believe and follow His commandments. Let us rejoice, be grateful for this divine revelation, and strive to fulfill our part in this magnificent plan with unwavering faith and devotion."
In the beginning, God, in His divine counsel, had plans to bring this planet out of its unfinished state and make it suitable to sustain the most remarkable creation of all: man, made in His likeness and image. Everything seen and unseen was spoken into existence through God's word, and He called everything created good.
God got personal with Adam, forming him from the dust of the Earth, and he not only sculpted his physical body from the dust of the earth, but he placed within him a glue-like substance holding his body together called Laminin and it was shaped in the form of a cross, the tool God would one day use to pay the price for the sins of all humanity.
Dear reader, did you know that God plans to rescue as many people as possible from Satan's grasp and bring them together as His family? This plan was already predestined before the foundation of the world, and those who choose this plan will be adopted into God's royal family as sons and daughters.
Did you know that our purpose and calling can be revealed through the personal inward work of the Blessed Holy Spirit, and did you know that we need the classroom of His Spirit, which the Bible speaks of as the spirit of wisdom? His great reservoir of knowledge and counsel resides within our souls, waiting to be released.
Beloved, Jesus was already slain in God's mind before the foundations of the world, which signifies that God had a brilliant plan to send His Son to rescue fallen men, knowing that they would give in and succumb to Satan's temptations. God reaches out to us through the preaching of the cross and encourages us to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. This is the first step in God's predestined plan for us.
God's divine plan for us is in the Spirit, and His Holy Spirit enforces this plan as Spiritual law. The blessed Spirit of God takes control of the circumstances surrounding us and causes natural law to be for or against us. The prophet Isaiah speaks of Jesus as the wonderful counselor representing us in Heaven. We need the classroom of His Spirit, which the Bible speaks of as the spirit of wisdom. His great reservoir of knowledge and counsel resides within our soul, waiting to be released.
Beloved, please know and understand that Satan challenged God in front of all creation, accusing Him of being unjust because he would not exalt him to be like Him. Satan caused a third of the Holy Angels to follow him in his revolt against God. However, God had a brilliant plan to rescue as many people as possible from Satan's grasp and gather them together as His family. God had a plan to show all creation His justice and retain His Holy nature. God's most incredible creation, man, was made in His likeness and image to fulfill His excellent plan.
"DID YOU KNOW YOU ARE SPECIAL?"
Dear reader, I want to remind you of something often overlooked – you are unique. Every person born on this planet was created to stand out as exceptional, but some people choose to go along with the crowd and blend in. However, you were created to stand out and make a difference.
Beloved, did you know that your fingerprints develop during the third month of your fetal development, in your mother's womb? This is a fascinating fact because it means that your fingerprints are unique to you, and no other person in the world has the same ones. Even identical twins have different fingerprints.
The reason for this uniqueness is due to the combination of genetic and environmental factors that occur during development. Your fingerprints are formed by the ridges, whorls, and loops on your fingertips, which are distinct and unrepeatable patterns. This is a testament to the remarkable complexity and intricacy of the human body, and shows that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made by our Creator.
Our God is a God of purpose and knows every piece of matter in the universe. Everything that exists has a purpose, including you. The living God has carefully planned every detail of our lives, from the moment we are born until the day we leave this world. He knows everything that will happen to us in this lifetime because nothing surprises Him.
We must realize that our God is eternal and is not bound by the dimension of time and the law of physics. He created time as a temporary context for His creation, and everything that has happened or will happen has already occurred within His awareness.
God is the ultimate creator of the universe. He created everything, including the stars, planets, and living beings. However, despite being the source of all creation, God does not rely on what He has created to sustain Himself. In other words, even if the universe ceased, God would still exist and be self-sufficient.
One of the most amazing things about God is that He can simultaneously look at our past, present, and future. He was there when our moment was planned, and He carefully looked down through the ages of time and planned every intricate detail of every life that would live on Earth. He knows the beginning from the end and everything in between.
The answer to our existence is found in (John 3:16): "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." We exist because God wanted a family, a mirror image of Himself on Earth. He had a deep desire to recover as much as possible from Adam's fall and Satan’s rebellion. He loves us unconditionally and wants us to be with Him forever.
The word states in (Psalms 139:14) that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are unique because we have a structure called "LAMININ" inside us, shaped like a cross. This cross-like structure is what holds our body together. It reminds us of God's love and sacrifice for us on the cross.
While Adam enjoyed his evening walks with God in the garden, God was looking at the cross—the very means by which He would become man’s Savior. He knew that one day, He would send His Son to pay the penalty of a cruel death on a Roman cross so that we could receive everlasting life. I suggest you search for "LAMININ" and see a photo of what is holding our body together. It's an incredible reminder that our Creator fearfully and wonderfully makes us.
Dear Beloved, I want you to know that your life has a purpose. God carefully planned it before the foundation of the world. This plan was made so that you can be a vessel of His love and leave a unique signature of His work through your life for future generations to see.
Many people struggle to discover their purpose in life, and it can be a daunting task. However, the answer lies within your unique qualities, talents, and passions. You were created with a specific set of gifts, abilities, and skills, and these were given to you by God for a reason. To find true purpose and fulfillment in life, it's essential to recognize and embrace these gifts.
Your passions, skills, and talents are all part of what makes you unique. You can find your true calling when you use these gifts to serve others and honor God. Maybe you have the gift of speaking, writing, or teaching or a talent for music, art, or design. Whatever your gifts may be, they can be used to impact the world around you positively.
Focusing on your unique strengths and using them in service to others can help you find meaning and purpose in your life. This can bring a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that cannot be seen through material possessions or other external factors. So, don't be afraid to explore your passions, develop your skills, and use your gifts to make a difference in the world.
It's essential to remember that you are not alone in your journey through life. You have a higher power guiding and directing your steps every step. Trust in God's plan for your life, and have faith that He has amazing things in store for you.
Beloved, whether you're facing challenges and uncertainty or need a little guidance, know that God is always with you, watching over you and guiding you towards your best path. So stay strong, keep the faith, and know you are never alone.
"YOU ARE UNIQUE AND MADE TO STAND OUT."
Dear reader, I want to address the critical issue of people who, amid their struggles, end up taking their own lives. It is a tragic reality that many individuals feel overwhelmed by their circumstances and cannot find the answers they need. However, it is essential to remember that according to the scriptures, God knew in advance who would choose His plan and who would reject it and be lost forever.
The Bible teaches us that we were predestined to become God's sons and daughters through Jesus Christ. Accepting Him as our Lord and Savior is the first step in God's plan, predestined for us even before the world was created. God desires to save people through His love, grace, and the good works we do to glorify His name on Earth.
It is essential to understand that the Holy Spirit is the enforcer of Spiritual law and is called the Spirit of wisdom. We need His guidance to understand God's divine plan and our purpose. Although we may not find a book with our name, the Holy Spirit knows our purpose and calling, as He was present when our life was planned in the Father's presence.
Notably, Jesus fulfilled enough scripture to prove He was not an impostor. He fulfilled the law, which required restoring fellowship between man and a Holy God. He then established a new covenant based on faith in Him, which provides eternal life and adoption into the family of God.
In summary, it is essential to remember that God's love for us is unconditional, and He has a plan for our lives. The Holy Spirit is our guide, and we need His wisdom and guidance to understand God's plan and our purpose. Jesus fulfilled the law, and through faith in Him, we can have eternal life and be adopted into the family of God.
Beloved, the law, with all its ordinances and sacrifices, was set aside. These could never pay the sinful debt that was passed on to us through the rebellion of Adam. God would not accept an innocent animal to redeem man's sins for eternal life. In the fullness of time, God gave His lamb as a ransom for all, and the sin debt was paid in full.
The wrath of God was satisfied when His Son hung and died on that lonely Roman cross, fulfilling God's plan. The other Adam had to be tried, convicted, and executed as a common criminal, taking upon Himself all of man's sins, past, present, and future.
God sacrificed His Son so that many sons could be adopted into His family. When we become sorry for our sins and accept God's free pardon, we are adopted into His royal family by faith. The Scriptures declare that "He that knew no sin was made sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21).
When we accept Jesus dying in our place, becoming our sin substitute, and we give up all rights to our life, making Him our Lord and Savior, we are no longer our own but are bought with the sinless blood of the Son of God.
I want to leave you with two critical statements of truth that will help you discover your cause and purpose for being born on this planet. First, realize that God knows us, and we are essential to Him. Second, recognize that life matters because God loves us unconditionally.
Beloved, suppose we understand that God loved us enough to send His Son to die in our place so that we, through faith, might become the sons of God and be adopted into His royal family, becoming an heir to God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. In that case, there can be no room for depression and loneliness.
Dear reader, it's time to enjoy life and live holiness, walking in the light of God's word. May we, as His children, speak His word out loud into the atmosphere so that His promises and benefits work in us. God watches over His word to fulfill it. Therefore, if God cares about the sparrows and knows when one dies, He cares about you.
God cares for the spouses who have lost their partner in life, and He cares about those incarcerated who are serving their sentence for crimes against society, including the mother who has a son incarcerated and facing certain death unless they receives a miracle of mercy from a higher court. Most importantly, God cares for those who feel that they are all alone because He does not want them living in bondage but in the power and victory of the cross.
Our Savior dealt the sin of humanity a mighty blow at the cross. After three days and nights in hell, God raised him for our justification so we could come into His Holy presence as one who has no sin. Beloved, we are declared righteous through the blood of Jesus. It is time we start living as one who knows God from the free pardon of sin and put the devil where he belongs, which is under our feet.
Dear reader, we must never give the devil an inch in our lives because if we do, he will become our ruler. Church, Satan will use his deceptions to lure us into temptation, hoping we will take the bait like an angler trying to catch a fish. He will make it look appealing, but remember if we do take the bait, it will have consequences and place us in bondage.
Beloved, it is time to come to God and come out of the bondage of sin, allowing God's word to break the hold that sin has over us. Beloved reader, may I ask you a serious question, "What is the source of strength and stability in your life?" If your trust is in anything but the Lord, you are walking on unsteady ground.
We discover in God's word that the Lord never changes. The LORD is the Everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary; his ways are higher than ours. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
(Isaiah 40:31) "Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who hope in the LORD will renew (exchange) their strength for his. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint as warriors in their Christian walk."
We need to recognize ourselves as unique creations of God with unlimited possibilities. We all have potent treasures inside us that are waiting to be discovered. Uncovering these treasures may take a lifetime, but we should never give up on ourselves. Remember that we were created by an incredible Creator who planned our lives from the beginning to the end. We should overcome limiting beliefs and negative opinions that may hold us back and tap into our full potential.
Beloved, I know we live in a confused, dangerous world with many surprises on every corner. But let me, from experience, state that we who know our God do not need a physicist or horoscope to predict our future because our future is not ahead of us but lies within our being, just ready to be discovered.
Dear friends in faith, whenever we encounter difficulties and problems, it is natural to feel overwhelmed and hopeless. However, it is essential to remember that our God is all-knowing, and nothing takes Him by surprise. Therefore, in times of trouble, we should take solace in having a God who is always watching over us and guiding us through our trials.
To find hope, we can turn to the Lord and seek comfort in His presence. By delighting in the Lord, we can experience peace and joy even amidst the chaos of life. Focusing on our faith gives us the strength to overcome any obstacle that comes our way.
Moreover, we must remember that the answers to life's problems often lie within ourselves. We possess the inner strength and resilience to face any challenge that comes our way. We can find the courage to persevere and triumph over adversity by looking within and drawing upon our resources.
In conclusion, we need to recognize ourselves as unique creations of God with unlimited possibilities. We all have potent treasures inside us that are waiting to be discovered. Uncovering these treasures may take a lifetime, but we should never give up on ourselves.
Remember that we were created by an incredible Creator who planned our lives from the beginning to the end. We should overcome limiting beliefs and negative opinions that may hold us back and tap into our full potential.
So, my dear fellow believers, let us take comfort in knowing that our God is always with us. Let us turn towards Him in times of trouble and look within ourselves to find the strength and hope to overcome any obstacle.
Beloved, our future is not ahead of us as some would think, but it was placed within us at birth by a Holy God who planned our moment to exist on his planet. When we see our ship on the horizon, let us, eagerly and with renewed confidence, swim out to meet it.
"OUR WORDS HAVE THE POWER TO CREATE, UPLIFE OR DESTORY."
(Proverbs 18:21) "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
Dear reader, did you know that the words we use to express ourselves hold immense power? Every word we speak or write has the potential to either uplift or destroy. Words have the power to shape our thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes. They can create positive energy or cause destruction, pain, and hurt.
Beloved, it is essential to be mindful of the power of words and use them to build up rather than tear down. We should choose words carefully, be respectful, and avoid derogatory, discriminatory, or hurtful language. We should use words that inspire, encourage, and motivate others to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
It is a heartbreaking reality that numerous people have grown up with negative words spoken over them, telling them that they are not competent enough to achieve anything significant in life, and did you know that the power of the spoken word and the impact of negative words can be devastating? The fact is, “These hurtful words can profoundly impact us, creating limiting beliefs that hold us back from realizing our full potential.”
"As a teenager, I was passionate about seeking a deeper connection with God. However, my earthly father was constantly putting me down, telling me that I could never be as good as him and that I would never amount to anything. Despite his negativity, I refused to let his words define me and continued pursuing my dreams confidently and determinedly."
I'm sharing this experience in the hope that it can help someone who may be going through a similar situation. Despite my repeated denials, my earthly father kept accusing me of drug use. One night, I made a reckless decision to try heroin to prove my point. It ended up being a terrible mistake, as I overdosed and had to be rushed to the hospital.
The physical pain was excruciating, and I felt like a bulldozer was tearing through my stomach. That night, I also remember shooting something that resembled a bear, but I can't be sure if it was an animal or another person. Although it's been a while since that incident, I still feel guilty and hope others can learn from my mistake.
Dear reader, let me assure you that rejection can be brutal, and harsh words can shake our confidence and make us doubt our self-worth. But it's important to understand that we have the strength and ability to overcome these negative beliefs and achieve our goals.
As someone who has faced rejection repeatedly and emerged more robust on the other side, I can confidently tell you that it all starts with recognizing and challenging those negative beliefs. By replacing them with positive and empowering thoughts, we can build the unwavering confidence and resilience needed to live our best lives. With Jesus by your side, you can hold your head high and know that you have what it takes to conquer any challenge that comes your way.
Dear reader, by taking control of our thoughts and beliefs, we can break free from the negative cycle that holds us back and create a path toward a life filled with purpose, joy, and fulfillment. This means we must identify our limiting beliefs and question their validity.
Beloved, it is said that people with a creative mind tend to see beauty in things that others may not. They can perceive something that may seem unattractive or unpleasant to others as a work of art. For instance, consider a tree trunk left standing in a yard. While most people may view it as a dead piece of wood, a creative person may see it as an opportunity to create a sculpture of an animal or bird.
Turning something plain and ordinary into a beautiful masterpiece requires imagination and creativity. It involves thinking outside the box and seeing things from a different perspective. With a little effort and the right mindset, we can transform mundane objects into something extraordinary. Our creative skills allow us to perceive the world around us uniquely, enabling us to notice things that may have gone unnoticed by others.
I want to remind you of some inspiring examples. Mr. Gutzon Borglum and his son Lincoln Borglum envisioned a grand project representing one hundred fifty years of freedom and displaying the American dream to the world. They created the iconic Mount Rushmore with faces of presidents carved into granite walls. Mount Rushmore is now one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States, and it serves as a testament to the power of vision and perseverance.
By harnessing these skills, we can breathe life into objects, places, and ideas that have been forgotten or overlooked, making them stand out in our minds. This enhances our appreciation for the world's beauty and allows us to express ourselves in inspiring and innovative ways.
In conclusion, we need to recognize ourselves as unique creations of God with unlimited possibilities. We all have potent treasures inside us that are waiting to be discovered. Uncovering these treasures may take a lifetime, but we should never give up on ourselves, and please remember that we were created by an incredible Creator who planned our lives from the beginning to the end. We should overcome limiting beliefs and negative opinions that may hold us back and tap into our full potential.
"WHAT IS HARD GRACE?"
Dear reader, through my many years of ministry, I have discovered that, at times, God allows severe trials and obstacles to come our way, especially those chosen for large ministries. Did you know that the numerous hurdles we face prove that God permits circumstances, people, and things to enter our lives for three reasons?
1. --- To educate us
2. --- To teach us
3. --- To elevate us to the next level
Beloved, did you know that sometimes God will allow things to come the way that are designed to break us apart and test our will so that we can be put back together to operate in His will, especially those chosen for particular ministries? We can illustrate this process, which does not happen overnight, to a crew hired to refurbish a house.
Beloved, someone driving by every day on their way to work may get the impression that the homeowner hired a wrecking crew instead of someone to restore and refurbish their home.
Did you know anything must be inspected inside and out before anything can be repaired? The old must be removed to ensure the foundation and joists that hold the house together are in good shape; only then can the outside appearance be completed to bring beauty, security, and comfort to the homeowner.
Dear reader, if we turn to chapter four of the Book of John, we will find a story about a Samaritan woman who met Jesus at the well. Do you recall this story?
This was a significant event because Jews and Samaritans did not typically interact with each other due to deep-seated cultural and religious differences, mainly because the Samaritans were a people of mixed ancestry, and their religion blended Jewish and pagan beliefs. Thus, the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman was a remarkable example of breaking down cultural barriers.
The woman was often judged and criticized for being unfaithful, but little did people know that God had a plan for her life. Despite the Jews' tendency to avoid any interaction with Samaritans, Jesus was compelled to travel through Samaria and stopped by a well where the woman was. It turned out that she had a divine appointment with the Lord.
In those days, Jewish rabbis would typically permit a maximum of three divorces. However, the woman in question had been married five times and was currently cohabiting with a man who was not her husband.
What set her apart from others was her history of failed marriages, and she was likely aware of the gossip that would follow her around. Can you relate to her story?
This woman has been married five times, but unfortunately, each marriage has failed. Although she has some knowledge of the coming Messiah and the temple worship, she is considered a broken vessel due to her past experiences.
This Samaritan woman had a slow start in life but made it into God's Hall of Fame. She, like so many of us, no doubt grew up having dreams of someday becoming a happily married wife with a wonderful family and may have even had a hope chest preparing for that day, which she would show to her friends, but her plans did not work out.
The woman at the well was likely a marginalized figure in her community. She came to the well alone, in the heat of the day, which suggests that she was avoiding the other women in her village who would have gathered at the well in the more excellent morning hours. Notably, she had had several husbands and was living with a man who was not her husband. Her past and current situation would have made her an outcast in her community.
Despite all of this, Jesus approached her and initiated a conversation. He revealed to her that he was the Messiah, and she believed him. This encounter led to the woman's transformation, and she became an influential evangelist, sharing the good news about Jesus with her fellow Samaritans. Thus, the story of the Samaritan woman at the well is a powerful example of Jesus' compassion and love for all people, regardless of their background or circumstances.
My dear friend, it is essential to understand the deeper meaning behind Christ's interaction with the woman. When the woman approached Christ, she was an outcast in her community due to her past mistakes and sins. However, instead of condemning or requiring her to change her ways before offering her His gift, Christ loved and accepted her just as she was.
This powerful message shows that God's unconditional love for us does not require us to be perfect before accepting us. No matter how flawed or imperfect we may be, God loves us and is willing to offer us His gift of salvation. So, let us remember this message and strive to love and accept others just as they are, without judgment or condemnation.
After speaking with Jesus, the woman was convinced He was the promised Messiah. This encounter caused a profound shift in her way of living, and her life was forever changed. She was filled with joy and hope for the future, knowing she had found something worthwhile. It's important to remember that this can be true for us as well.
After meeting with the Lord, the woman ran and told her story to the people in the city, which caused a whole city to see the Lord for themselves. This Samaritan woman may have had a rough start in life, like so many of us, but in the end, she was able to make it into God's book as one who could evangelize an entire city.
In closing, it is comforting to know that we, too, can have a life-changing encounter with Christ that transforms us from the inside out. All we need to do is open our hearts and minds to the possibility of His love and grace, just as the woman did. May we always be open to His love and guidance, and may our lives be changed for the better.
MY CONCLUSION
Dear reader, we recently delved into the question, "What is our purpose in life?" In this study, we explored the concept that every individual is unique and has a specific purpose for being on this planet. We discussed how discovering our purpose can be a lifelong journey and shared some insights and tips for finding it.
Discovering our purpose serves to give us a clear sense of direction and clarity can help us navigate the challenges and setbacks we may face in life, allowing us to align our actions with our values and beliefs, leading to a more fulfilling and excited life. Finding our purpose is not a one-time event; it is a continuous journey that offers us new experiences and opportunities for growth, keeping us hopeful and motivated.
Beloved, to discover your purpose in life, you must understand that you are not a mistake, and understand that you were created for a reason, and that reason is to make a difference in the world you live in and you may not know what that difference is yet, but with time and prayer, you will discover it.
God will provide the resources, opportunities, and people you need to succeed. So, trust in God and know that you were created for a reason. Your life has meaning and purpose, and you have the potential to make a significant impact in the world.
In this message, we conducted an in-depth study on the story of the Samaritan woman who had a rough start in life but achieved great things. We examined how her encounter with Jesus Christ transformed her life and allowed her to become an influential evangelist. We discussed the challenges she faced, how she overcame them, and the impact she had on her community.
Ultimately, we concluded that discovering our purpose in life is not always easy, but it is vital to our sense of fulfillment and happiness. By examining the stories of others who have found their purpose, we can gain valuable insights and inspiration for our journey.
Dear reader, Like many others before me, I can relate to this woman and her past failures. However, I have not let anyone's negative opinion of me become my reality. I am the only one responsible for my success, and I will not let anyone else influence my path in life.
Dear Saints, I am thrilled to share with you that through the blood of Jesus, I have undergone a transformation and have been forgiven for my past mistakes. If anyone tries to accuse or judge me based on my past, I want you to know that such accusations will not affect me. I consider my past errors and misjudgments valuable experiences that have helped me mature into the International Evangelist I am today. My lovely wife and I conduct monthly revivals throughout the Philippines, and I am grateful for this opportunity to serve.
Dear reader, I would like to conclude this sermon by sharing my favorite verse from the Bible with you. It's a verse I apply to everything I do for the kingdom of God. It stays refreshed in my mind when I minister to pagan tribes in other countries. Now, in closing, I'd like to share it with you. The verse can be found in (Psalms 19:14). It echoes throughout my entire being, referencing myself as being in the mindset of Apostle Paul when he said in (Philippians 3:10), that he wanted to know Christ and know him in the power of his resurrection.
(Psalms 19:14) "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer."

MY CLOSING PRAYER
Almighty and loving Father, we come before You today with a heartfelt request to help us stand firm in our faith and activate it in our everyday lives. Life can be challenging, and we may sometimes feel overwhelmed and unsure what to do. But we find rest knowing that we can always depend on You, our God and Father, to lead us through difficult times.
Dear Lord, we recognize that we are Your children and part of Your glorious body on Earth. We ask that You help us realize our dependence upon You and that we need each other to be fruitful and live prosperous lives as Your people. Show us that there is strength in numbers and that we are stronger together than alone.
Please keep us from being careless and prideful in our Christian walk. Help us recognize that we are part of something bigger than ourselves and are sons and daughters in Your kingdom. We ask that You help us tap into the vast resources and ideas You placed within us at birth so that we can fulfill Your purpose for our lives.
Father, in Jesus' mighty name, we ask that you touch, heal, and deliver all those who read this prayer and call upon your excellent name. Please help us learn to direct our prayers toward the unification of the body of Christ, and may we become one unified body working together in harmony to do your will, even as it is already done in Heaven. We thank You for the gift of life and for allowing us to be born on this planet for such a time as this. We trust that You will guide our footsteps and direct our path so we can live out Your will for our lives. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
