Our Earthly Purpose

July 14, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Are you just trying to stay comfortable while waiting on heaven or for Jesus to return?

I’m in some circles of mature believers who constantly talk about the rapture, the end times, and leaving this earth for that better place in the sky. I understand the anticipation, but more importantly, our drive should be to do all that God has put us on this earth to do. We must focus on our earthly purpose.

Far too many Christians stay idle, holding tight to their “golden ticket” to heaven while the lost perish and go to hell.

Don’t be so heavenly focused, that you do no earthly good.”

Yes, the rapture is real and the church needs to get their hearts right and not live deceived. Yes, heaven will be a beautiful eternal reward to those that are right with God. But thinking of us leaving this earth should awaken us to an urgency to make Jesus known to the lost. We are called to populate heaven and deplete hell. To live boldly, fearless, and careless of man’s opinions. 

Daily Divine Appointments

This is why I’m very intentional to pray every day that God will give me divine appointments. We need to stay ready and expectant for God to use us how he wants. The grocery store, the bank, downtown, at work, on coffee dates, are all opportunities.

Heaven-and-earth

I encourage you to ask God every morning for divine appointments and watch him show up in amazing ways. I guarantee that you will feel alive, fulfilled, and full of purpose. We are meant to be the difference in this world. We are not called to blend, to stay comfortable and idle.

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” -Ephesians 5: 15-17

The hope we have is not a secret or an exclusive club that we are a part of. Jesus paid the expensive dues for us all, not just some.

The One

I’ll never forget when God shook me and told me, “Don’t ever forget how much I love the one. I would move heaven and earth for the one. I would die for the ONE.” I have never been the same since.

How can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? Beautiful are the hands and feet who bring the good news.” -Romans 10

If the devil can’t get rid of you in your mother If the devil can’t get rid of you in your mother’s womb then he will attack your mind, your life to try and defeat you. ⚠️
You must be on guard, know his tactics and defeat him with the authority God has given you as a believer. Believe truth over lies friends.
God doesn’t make mistakes.
You are chosen.
Your life has great purpose.
You are loved.
💙
“The devil was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him.

Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.” 
-John 8:44

When the devil tries to attack us with doubt & dis When the devil tries to attack us with doubt & discouragement, we must use our God given authority to silence the father of lies.
SPEAK BACK. 🗣 
His #1 goal is to get you to give up on your purpose, your promises, your dreams, your relationships and ultimately your life.
He’ll make you think you have mental illness, anxiety, depression & confusion. He’ll even have you blame others but in reality he is the peace robber. He is the root cause of the attacks on your mind.
He knows that if he can control your thoughts, then he can control your life.
He’s never original. All he can do is counterfeit. He’s been up to his same ol’ tricks since day one in the garden. 🐍
But there’s hope, friends. The more you captivate your thoughts, stop entertaining yourself with the things of this world, saturate yourself in God’s word, allow him access to your heart, let him heal you of your past and believe the truth of who he says you are, the more you’ll live FREE.
The enemy will constantly try to sneak in and lie when he knows we’re vulnerable. But when he realizes that we cannot be moved, then he loses his power over us and backs off. 🔥 Remember, you are not defeated. You are more than a conqueror in Christ. 💙
“I have given you the authority to resist the devil and he will flee from you. Do not fear. Be strong & Courageous.” -James 4:7, Joshua 1:9
Side note: not everything is the devils fault. But if you are living surrendered to God then attacks on your mind to try and cancel your purpose, need to be silenced.

It’s easy to tell someone you love them but acti It’s easy to tell someone you love them but actions speaking louder than words, is when you’re selfless. Saying yes when you want to say no and with a good attitude is the best proof.
Jesus is the best example of this. He proved his true love for us when he sacrificed on the cross and he did it willingly.
Be a person who sacrifices for others. Live selfless in a selfish world. Be there when it counts by acting like Jesus.💙
self·less
/ˈselfləs/
