Walk in ur destiny

Romans 8:28-34
1Corinthians 15:9-10

So many questions bombard us in our lives & the quiet moments seem to immerse us b4 we go to sleep. It's in the solitude of those moments we deal with the trauma of our own thoughts. When we assess these things we find that there were so many situations that we had no power over & did not cause but had to live & deal with. What was it that kept u? 

The first words, 2nd, & 3rd to Abraham where all to leave. Leave ur home land, leave anything that gets the pre-eminence in ur mind as to why u are the way u are, & leave ur birth place (family). Removes genetic excuses such as I have a temper b/c my grandfather had a temper.  Many things influence us but are not the cause. The storm did not cause the house to fall, the storm influenced the house & the house fell b/c it was not built on a strong foundation. 

Often we choose ppl subjectively & not objectively. Someone to alleviate our pains or make up for our short comings. Many times we are delivered but not healed b/c we were brought out of our situations but our situations were not brought out of our minds. It's not ur fault that in ur younger years someone psychologically negated u due to their own selfish demonic needs & left u to deal with in ur later years. We become dull as a person due to various past issues. You may see me & like what u see & like my figure & l may be cut like a Michael Angelo sculpture but what u don't see is all of my stuff behind me; things that were forming me b4 God got to me. Destiny must be viewed not only as positive but negative as well. God was there when ur mess went down & ALL things work together for your good! Other ppls view of u often determine how u feel about ur self, but get over how u were formed and allow God to use the embarrassment of ur past to be ur blessing for ur future. As long as we deny certain aspects of our up bringing it causes resentment & it causes us to stay connected to the place where we recieved the most pain. Embrace where u started from in order to move where God wants u to go. You handled the negative thus far b/c God had his hand on u from the begining..he allowed u to go through it so he could use u to help someone in your future! If ur 5 yrs of jail can keep 100 boys out of jail, it was worth it! 

What I am must be preceeded by whose I am..which brings about self realization. You don't belong to the situations around u, u belong to God therefore the situation cannot control u.

When we get into relationships we choose ppl b/c of who they are or what they do & when they begin to leave us we start to turn up the qualities we thought attracted them to us in the first place. But with God u don't worry about the mistakes u made b/c God chose u when u were at ur worse when u were all tore up & beat down & will never walk away. "If ur in my life understand that it's not because of necessity but I appreciate u although I don't need u. So if ur in my life u better be a benefit otherwise ur getting left behind b/c God & I got this!"

You owe it to God to be prepared for opportunity he sends ur way! U owe it to God that if he opens the door u step through. God can take ur disobedience & turn it into ur destiny. Such as Jonah & the whale. He didn't wanna go where God told him to go & got swollowed by a whale which in turn made him stronger in his purpose b/c the ppl that God sent Jonah to talk to worshiped fish..so when the fish spit him out it in front of these ppl it all worked out for his good! 

Nothing about "who I am" is so depraved or messed up that the "whose i am" can't fix or str8en out ! If ur still depressed he ain't done yet..
let no one devalue ur destiny..our freedom is in how quickly we embrace the destiny b4 us..the negatives & the positives. Our mistakes have use!  

WALK IN UR DESTINY!!
