My Identity Is In God!!!!

     Purpose is the key to gratification and preservation.  The meaning of purpose is  the reason for which something is done or created, or for which something exists. Around the world, so many individuals are seeking their purpose or their reason for existence. Some even question, "Am I living out the purpose God has created for my life?" Over the past 3 to 5 years, I woke up every day asking the same questions you may have asked. "What is my purpose in life?" Since I’ve started my journey to discovering who I am, it constantly leads me back in the book of Genesis. In Genesis 2:15 it says, " Then the  Lord  God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it." First, let’s review the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve were planted and lived. The word Eden has multiple interpretations, such as a dwelling, a delightful place, spot, presence, an open door, and paradise. Bas...

Mark 10:27   Looking at them, Jesus said,  “With people  [as far as it depends on them]  it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”   Jesus was teaching the disciples that what is impossible with men is possible with God. Every day there is a fight going on with your spirit and your flesh(brain). That is why the bible tells us to deny ourselves daily.  Yo ur brain is designed to keep you alive. The brain is like the autocorrect function on your phone. When faced with a situation, your brain automatically responds with what's been programmed within it. When you go to school, what you are learning is being programmed within your mind. This also includes life lessons, teachings from a parent, social media, readings, and other sources. One example is when you get burned by fire it automatically alerts the brain that the fire is hot. So, from then on out, every time you get around a fire, an alert goes o...

James 1:5-8 Amp version   Consider it nothing but joy, my  [ b ] brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials.  3  Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace].  4  And let endurance have its perfect result  and  do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing.  5  If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke  or  blame, and it will be given to him.  6  But he must ask [for wisdom] in faith, without doubting [God’s willingness to help], for the one who doubts is like a billowing surge of the sea that is blown about and tossed by the wind.  7  For such a person ought not to think  or  expect that he will receiv...

Romans 8:26-28   Amplified Bible (AMP) Our Victory in Christ 26  In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness. We do not know what prayer to offer  or  how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs  and  groanings too deep for words.  27  And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes [before God] on behalf of  [ a ] God’s people in accordance with God’s will. 28  And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan  and  purpose. Prayer Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for this day. I thank you for your grace, your mercy. Thank you for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Thank you,...

The other night in my kitchen my husband and I were discussing Tuesday night bible study which was amazing. I open my bible it was on the table next to me and I automatically turned to Isaiah 59 and the title of the chapter was separation from God and it immediately caught my attention. I begin to read it and it begins to say the Lord's hand is not so short that it cannot save, nor is his ear dull that he cannot hear. But your iniquity(which is secret sin)  have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear. Right at that moment, I knew God was trying to get my attention. The scriptures go on to talk about how sinful living and the secret sins we have committed separate us from the father, and you can tell by the context of the scripture God was not pleased with what was happening amongst his people. As I continue to read (Isa 59;16) God said   Yes, truth is lacking;  And he ...
