Predestinated For His Purpose
Rom. 8:28-32 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
The word destination means the purpose for which something or someone is intended or appointed to.
The word predestinate means God did actually know us before we were ever born physically. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate.
That is how we know that all things can work together for good to them that love God. And to them who are called according to his purpose.
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
Many are called for Gods purpose on earth, but some that are called are led astray by the world’s rebellious ways.
Before we were born physically to our mother and father, we were in Heaven as a spirit.
You were a spirit in the heavenly realm. How else could he have knew you and predestined you for his purpose.
We were called, we were justified, and the ones he justified, them he also glorified.
Before you were physically born, at the time of conception, God sent a predestinated foreknown spirit: Flesh can only produce flesh. The real you is a spirit, the flesh is to be a device to house the spirit.
Your soul which is made up of your mind, your will and your emotion, your soul helps you make choices in your life.
This is why and how Mary (Jesus’ physical mother) could deliver a physical baby without being with a man.
You are a spirit that was created in heaven: foreknown in heaven and at the time of God purpose for your life you were predestinated and sent to earth.
So if God is for us who can be against us? He also freely gives us all things. God loves his creation and wants to bless us with every thing heaven has to offer.
Romans 8: 37-39 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Because of the love of God and everything that he has invested in us through the finished work at the cross, we are more than conquerors.
Paul is saying I am persuaded; persuaded means his mind was made up through faith in the word and is immovable. He was persuaded that neither death nor life or things to come was going to change his mind.
Nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
When God sends you to earth as a spirit, you as a human will have a free will to make decisions as to which path you want to follow.
You can choose the natural way and be led by the things of the world… or you can choose the spiritual way and be led by the Holy Spirit.
Because you were foreknown, God knew everything about you; you were predestined to come to earth for the purpose of serving God. Most people simply do not understand the purpose that God has for their lives.
On Sunday they live by faith; on Monday it’s the same old grind.
We are trying to get through life, letting the old flesh control our thoughts and our life. We are to be led by the Holy Spirit, not what the crowds think.
Let the Holy Spirit Quicken you with the life force that makes your minds and spirits alive beyond the natural thinking.
Let Gods Holy Spirit lead you to your highest potential.
Stay in the word
