"Am I living with the purpose of God here on earth or I am living just on my own?"
Proverbs 19:21 (NIV) - Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
Acts 13:22-23, 26 - David Served the purpose of His Life.
- Life will only make sense when you know you were made by God and for God alone. Eph. 1:11(AMP) - It is in Christ that we find out who we are. - You can only discover your purpose/identity through your relationship with Jesus Christ - long before you were conceived by your parents, you were already conceived in the plans of the Lord. - God already determined the talents we will possess; we are all created unique.
God wants the heart of the Pharisees to change but they keep on confronting, rebuking Jesus
Malachi 3:13-4:2 - God will judge the world and all the people.
2 Thessalonians 3:6-13
Psalm 98
Luke 20:45-21:4
Legitimate - true witness of the Lord
- Our life should be a testimony of the Lord.
- Whatever we do, do it from the heart because God sees our hearts.
- God has given us everything yet there are times we only give a portion. Faith is believing that God supplies everything and by giving to God our all, we become a legitimate witness.

The Move of the Holy Spirit is for Everyone
Joel 2:28-29 – And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
“God can move and use any of us; God is no respecter of persons.”
Exodus 17:8-13 – Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And
Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with
Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God
in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But
Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him,
and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one
side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until
the going down of the sun. So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
“We all have Significant roles to do in the movement of the Holy Spirit so that His power will continue to flow.”
