People Are In Pursuit of Purpose

Proverbs 29:18  Where there is no vision(revelation) the people perish, or cast off restraint....

What is life about?   Why am I here?    Who am I?  These questions are some of the most commonly asked amoung men and woman that are seeking purpose, and trying to find out what to do with their lives.   These questions are universal.  Philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates and others throughout the ages have attempted to explore these questions.  Unfortunately their efforts have ended in more questions than answers.  No person or book can answer these questions in their entirety, except God and His Word.  His holy word, that was established in the Bible. It will shed light on one of the most darkest places a person can be in their lives.  In a life without purpose.  There is even more for the Christian, far beyond Salvation, and Baptism in the Holy Spirit.  God created all of us for an original purpose, and only when we connect with Him, will we discover what we were created for. 
     The greatest tradgedy in life is not death, but life that is without a reason or purpose.  It is dangerous to be alive and not know why you were given life.  The deepest craving of the human spirit is to find a sense of relevance and significance.  This is the ultimate pursuit of man.  This need for significance is the cause of some of the greatest tradegies, suicides, and even murders.  Serial killers put off their anti social behavior, on the fact that they needed to feel important, or acquire some sense of self-worth.  This passion for relevance makes ethnic groups try to rise against each other, while giving birth to prejudice and bringing injustice to our world.  This desire for significance causes leaders to develop into tyrants and dictators, who for the feeling of power and control will sacrifice character, integrity and even sacrifice human life to fill the void they are experiencing.  There are millions who sacrifice their families, friends and convictions in an attempt to gain this relevance. 
     This passion and pursuit of purpose knows no boundaries and limits.  Man or woman, rich or poor, it affects us all.  King and peasant are subject to it's law, and suffer under it's rule.  This yearning for purpose needs  to be dealt with, and the internal vacuum it has created inside of people needs to be filled .  Finding your purpose, and the reason God created you is the only source of individual and coroporate fulfillment.  Purpose is the Key to life.   

 It is very important that in your experience with your creator, you find what you were created to do.  Ask God to reveal His plan for you as an individual. or even for your family.  He says call and He will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you do not know... (Jer 33:3)


We do not want to walk through this life blind, we need to know the direction we are going with our lives
Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 1 Corinthians 9:26

Don't Stop Fighting

Don't Stop Fighting

Matthew 5:11-12

 ¹¹ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

God never told you to quit.  So why would you?   You will always be confronted by your enemy whenever he feels threatened,  We are in a spiritual battle, we are told to wage a good warefare.  Fight a good fight,means to not draw back in the things of God.  Like any army that is preparing for and then encountering a battle, we as the army of God must not give our enemy a foothold.  We must not let his army of darkness advance on God's Kingdom.  David had to face his enemies, with a confidence and boldness in his God.  He took out Goliath with a sling and a stone.  Apart from the plan of God, there was no way that the Giant was going down with a stone.  Apart from Christ you can do nothing, but with Him and through Him, you can do all things.   The giants in you life, will come down if yu obey the leading of the LORD with confidence.  Don't stp fighting, you will reap in due season if you faint not.
