How can I discover the divine destiny God has for me?
Thanks so much for listening to the podcast today. I want you to know that Victoria and I are praying for you and your family this summer and just asking God to bring you more peace and joy and victory than you've ever seen before. Know that God's for you. He's got you in the palm of his hand and I hope you enjoy the message today. Come on, say it like you mean it. Ready? This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. Tonight, I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name. God bless you. Sound great. I want to talk to you tonight about stepping into your divine destiny.
Every one of us has seeds of greatness on the inside. You have a gift to share with this world. There is buried treasure down in you right now, potential that has not yet been released. But so often we let other people talk us out of our dreams. We let disappointments and failures keep our treasure buried. We allow insecurities and low self-esteem to convince us that we don't have anything special to offer. We're just an average, ordinary person. But no, God did not make average people. He did not create any of us as ordinary. No matter what someone has told you, no matter how they tried to make you feel, listen to what God is saying. There is treasure on your inside. You have something to offer that no one else has.
And if you don't step in to your destiny and release your gift, then this world will not be as bright as it should be. And understand, no one can take your place. You are unique. When God created you, He threw away the mold. Don't make the mistake of comparing yourself with someone else. If God wanted you to have their gift, He would have given you their gift. If He wanted you to look like them and have their personality, He would have created you that way. You don't need what they have to fulfill your destiny. You have what you need. It's already on the inside. When God created you, He matched you with your world. He decided what your purpose would be. He gave you an assignment. And then He put in you the gifts, the talents, the looks, the creativity, the personality.
He equipped you with exactly what you need. That means if you needed to be taller, God would have made you taller. If you needed to be another nationality, God would have made you another nationality. If you needed a different personality, God would have created you that way. Quit despising what you have. Quit complaining about what you don't have. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. God has created you exactly the way He wants you to be. Think about with a car. You can purchase a car that's totally stripped down, just the basics. No AC, no power windows, no radio, just a standard car.
Why does Joel say we’re “fully loaded and totally equipped” and what does that mean?
But know this, when God made you, He had all the options put on. You are not a wannabe. You are not a stripped down version of the real thing. You are fully loaded and totally equipped. When God created you, he said, I want the deluxe package. I want the chrome wheels. I want the sunroof. I want the navigation. I want the stereo with surround. And oh yeah, don't forget my pinstripes. Some of you got a sedan. Some of you got a compact. Some of you got a truck. Some of you got a lowrider. Don't be discouraged even if you got a station wagon, like my brother Paul. Whatever God has given you, you are fully loaded and totally equipped. I realize I may not have what someone else has. They may be a Ferrari and I'm a Ford, but I'm not the least bit worried.
I know I have what I need to fulfill my purpose. When we try to be something that we're not, that's when life gets frustrating. I've learned it's easy to be me. I don't have to perform. I don't have to manipulate things. I can just relax and be myself. Do you know I can be a better me than anybody else in the whole world? Why? I'm anointed to be me. You are anointed to be you. Nobody can beat you at being you. Quit worrying about what you don't have and just be the best you that you can possibly be.
