"Destiny's Road of Vision and Promise..."
Hebrews 12:1-3 of The Message Translation says:
"Do you see what this means — all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running — and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed — that exhilarating finish in and with God — he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame,
whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!"
Your relationship with God is as good as your communication with Him. Prayer encompasses crying out for help, fellowship and spiritual nourishment! It is born out of our need and the assurance that God is there to meet that need and answer your prayer! Prayer is a privilege and powerful work that can be rightly done only by the Christian. Through prayer, you can move mountains, because you have the ear of God Himself. We have victory in Jesus. Prayer is our greatest weapon in this world and we must not forget it. We must use it, and become familiar with prayer because it makes a difference and this world and in your hearts. Prayer changes things! Many situations have been altered, lives changed and priorities rearranged by spending time in prayer. Why is this? God answers prayer! God performs miracles! He is real, and communion with Him is a glorious reality! God does answer prayer.
Now, with that said, let us pray:
Lord, give me understanding of what Your will is for my life. As I begin the journey through this reading, allow Your Spirit to lead and guide me into the wisdom, knowledge and understanding You possess for me as I travel on this road to the destiny You have so designed. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
And the Sisters said, "Amen!"
"Blueprints on the Road to Your Destiny..."
As you take this journey through this blueprint on your way to destiny, it is my sincere hope and prayer that the Lord anoints everyone who reads this with His Spirit of wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 4:7 says,
"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."
The key to journeying to your destiny lies within your availability to allow God to isolate you and cleanse you from individual components that may hinder your walk, which can be achieved by removing any deficiencies that may exist, as we were created by God and for His glory.
