EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
How often do we question God’s plan for us when God clearly tells us He already knows!?
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ( Jeremiah 29:11)
The people were asked to do the impossible, and it makes sense if they were hesitant at first. By saying, “I know the plans I have for you,” God was reassuring the people that their faith in Him would be rewarded. He wasn’t saying He’d swoop down and make everything easy for them.
We are all different, but the enemy’s tactics are the same. We have different bents, different desires. When you walk closely with the Lord, your desires will become purer, and your goals will be clearer.
The devil wants us to fixate on what we are missing out on; this can be why jealousy has a tendency to invade the hearts of many a woman, but God clearly has a plan for us.
If jealously afflicts you, shut down the enemy’s taunts. Pray a prayer that is bigger than you, a prayer from heaven’s perspective. Pray for whom or what you are jealous about. Pray in the “love” capability that God has bestowed on you for them. If betrayal affects you, give them to God and don’t allow the bitterness to stop you from serving.
We can not comprehend the kingdom power we activate when we pray and leave our plans to God for the outcome. Praying for others that affect your life for the difficult ways they conduct themselves can be a teaching lesson to us! By praying over others, God will make clearer your own desires and goals and activate your purpose with clarity.
