Also note: here that destiny isn't always the easy thing but if you have a heart after Gods and you are filled with His Holy Spirit you will long for destiny and not be satisfied with anything else.

Samuel 2:35 "and i will raise me up a faithful priest that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind".

Proverbs 3 "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths( in the Strongs concordance this means to make him your intimate familiar Friend.. and he will guide you in this destiny he planned for you before the foundations of the earth).

- Again destiny is found in His presence and it is not something you can figure out with your head , as the scripture says lean not unto your own understanding, but you follow with your heart trust Him Follow Him with all of your heart and you will be a world changer...

Wow, in typing out these notes  i was reminded of the Scripture i will guide thee with mine eye...i have a drawing i did of an eye and i put this verse with it...anyway i looked it up in the strongs and eye can also mean presence.
God is saying get in my presence and i will instruct you and teach you and guide you.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. (with my presence) psalm 32:8 kjv

The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. psalm 32:8 nlt
and the next verse shows us clearly what God is after He wants us to freely come after Him and not have to be forced to want a relationship with Him to want Him to guide us on this path called destiny...
Don't be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, Whose are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you. psalm 32:9 hmv
i just have to throw this next verse in too its so good...then we will get back to the notes..
Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds
the man who trusts in him.
He wants to surround you with His unfailing unconditional love. His tender mercies. He is for you not against you . (despite popular belief God isn't an ogre ready to smash you. just in reading today i was reading Romans 8 in the amplified bible and was reminded of this fact...why would God be against us if He sent His only Son to die for us? why would his son be against us if he was willing to die and shed His blood so we could live and is risen and actually at the right hand of the father crying out on our behalf ever living to make intersession for us...and if they are not willing to condemn us who can....so if God before us who in the heck can be against us....and what can possibly separate from His great undying unconditional Love..?In fact romans 8:39 says nothing in all of creation can seperate us from His love..(the Holy Spirit nudged me to add that in :-))He longs for a relationship with you He longs to talk to you to Guide you to help you He loves you ...trust Him
Ok back to the notes...for now !

b. DESTINY DEFINED

The Holy Spirit told me to look up the meaning of destiny in the dictionary and i was amazed. Let me share these meanings with you.
Destine = to decree beforehand; predetermine; to designate, assign or dedicate in advance; to direct ; devise or set apart for a specific purpose.

Destiny = Something to which a person or thing is destined.
Note: destiny implies something Foreordained often suggest a great or noble course or end.
On the other hand fate implies an inevitable and usually adverse outcome
Fate = an inevitable an often adverse outcome condition or event - disaster-death.
 I want you to see and understand that each of us are unique made for a specific purpose. Each of us were fearfully and wonderfully made the bible says Created by God .(psalm) that means He made each one of us unique and special he created us He stood back in awe and said this one ! this one is my masterpiece. Each of us was created with a special purpose, A destiny a plan we were set apart for before we were even born. Foreordained for by God .
Let me share some scriptures with you that should help you see this.

Jeremiah 1:5 Before i formed thee in the belly i knew thee and before though comest forth out of the womb i sanctified thee SET YOU APART for a purpose (destined), and i ordained thee prophet unto the nations.

Isaiah 49:5 thus says the lord who formed me from the womb to be His servant
Isaiah 49:3 He will be glorified through us.
2 timothy 1:9 who hath saved us and called us with a Holy calling given us in Christ before the world began. wow!
(note: from this verse we can see that it isn't about our works (abilities) but his purpose, what he set us apart for-destined us and His grace -his strength  his ability to fulfill it.)

Stand for Destiny or fall to Fate
 
I want you to see through these definitions that there are two plans for your life one is your God given destiny a great and noble cause you were set apart for and the other is fate. You have a choice you can stand for destiny or fall to fate. If you will believe by faith that God has a plan for your life planned for you before you were born and he sent His son to free you from the chains of darkness the kingdom of despair so you could have a hope and a future .So through Him in His strength you see past the lies of the evil one and awaken to your destiny. Or you can go along with the lies and the illusions, never realize who you were created to be, never realize the greatness within you. never realize that you are more than a conqueror that you are a champion that you were to rule and reign with Christ that you were to be filled with the power and Glory of God. yes you can believe what the liar says.. the one who blinds minds and veils destinies.. and fall to fate ....You were to be a world changer instead you will let the world change you...no...Don't let it be said that you fell to fate realize today you were created for more! destined before worlds began for a purpose, set apart for a destiny ...Yes you are a world changer ! except nothing less...You must choose...will you stand for destiny or will you fall to fate...?

You do not have to fear fate if you will have faith for destiny.
Fear is faith in the enemies plan for your life which is fate. he wants you to believe the worst and that it is inevitable, that there is nothing you can do but except and believe his lies...like that you are nothing that you are worthless that bad things happen to you that you are powerless that God doesn't love you...these are some of his favorite lies ... Don't fear Him and His lies Don't fall to fate .Have Faith in what God says about you and live your destiny !
Your Fearlessness is an omen of doom to your enemy satan and his minions. Phillipians 1:28 Moffats translation  Never be scared for a second by your opponents; your fearlessness is a clear omen of ruin for them and of your own salvation- at the hands of God.  They only rule while you sleep. they Only have power if you believe their lies only if you have faith in what they say only if you fear... If your heart was ever to turn to Christ and the veil of illusion lifted and who you truly are realized then their rule would be over they have no power over  you only their lies...Much like the old movie labyrinth when the girl at the end realized that the Goblin King really had no power over her and she said it .." you have no power over me "and he made a face like he had been found out and began to disappear. It was true he was trying to get her to believe he had power but when she awoke to the fact that he didn't he disappeared...wow sounds familiar...!

we will talk about this later but what you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth you will have. this is why the bible tells us to guard our heart and that life an death are in the power of the tongue. So believe what God says about you and not the lies of the enemy Speak out those things speak life over yourself and not death. Words of faith and not fear. no it doesn't matter what things look like because as the bible says we walk by faith and not by sight...That means we are walking by the sight of our spiritual eyes and we are believing what God says no matter what the natural situation looks like.
Your enemy the devil goes around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour but God in you is greater if you will only believe.

mark 9:23 "All things are possible to him that believes".

PREDESTNED

Romans 8:29 -30 says We were predestined - set apart by God for a purpose.
To predetermine to foreordain, appoint beforehand. That is the meaning for predestine in the strongs. Do you realise that is the same meaning for destine...destiny in the websters dictionary. Isnt that awesome !!
from these verses in Romans 8:29-30 we see that he knew us before we were born just as he did Jeremiah in Jeremiah chapter 1.he foreknew us -new us before ...Predestined us -has a destiny planned for us that he has called us to and he justified us -made us just as if we never sinned and one more thing don't forget this one ..He glorified us...Fills us with His Glory and power. We have a destiny and the power of God to fulfill it. Wow now we can see why it says if God before us who can be against us ! We are blessed !
Psalm 139:16(nlt) says all of our days were written in his book before we live out any of them. (He has a plan for us)
Jeremiah 29:11 says it is a good plan..."I know the plan that i have for you, they are plans for good and not for disaster to give you a future and a hope."

Ephesisan 2:10  God has planned things for us to accomplish in and through Christ. (note: not to buy our salvation but because of it. Christ freed us so that we can bring Freedom !)
Just as Paul said of His call from Jesus in acts, it is our call as well.
Acts 26:18
..I send thee To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Ephisians 1:18 Paul prays that the eyes of our understanding would be enlightened that we would know what our destiny is (the hope of our calling ) and His power in us to fulfill lit. That is my prayer for us today as well !

Eph1:18-20 new living translation
I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the wonderful future he has promised to those he called. I want you to realize what a rich and glorious inheritance he has given to his people.
pray that you will begin to understand the incredible greatness of his power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms.
Get a hold of this let your Spiritual eyes see this! You have a destiny, a calling and God calls you a saint why because he has made you rightouss .You are who he says you are ..A SAINT no longer a sinner...you say "but i did this and i did that"...it doesn't matter when you believe by faith ,you are who God says you are! ..And when you begin to believe it you will no longer be a slave to sin .It will have no power over you no dominion .No rule.  romans 6
This is the power of the holy Spirit that fills you and as Jesus overflows out of you .Rivers of living water Bringing life to all of those around you .That is why Isaiah 61:1says.. Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee.
They are drawn to you because you are full of God, full of His Glory, full of hope, destiny, purpose. Things they are so desperate and hungry for. The world is a valley of dry bones longing for their Ezekiel to come and speak hope to them .they have lost all hope v11 all sense of purpose, all passion . Depressed in the valley dry, bitter, broken ,hopeless bones. You have Gods words in your mouth as the prior chapter in Isaiah says Isaiah 59:21My spirit that [is] upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth  ...see you are speaking good things over people things that edify as ephisain 4 says..You are full of Gods prescence His life His glory His Spirit .You are water , rain bringing life to a dry weary land...This is what the world needs you to awaken to See that God has created you for more and has freed you to bring Freedom. You are a world changer and destiny is calling  ! can you began to see it

God is calling you to His Presence to fill up and then to go and fill .

The World sees a pile of dry dead bones but we see a Great army of God .an army full of hope destiny and purpose just waiting to arise !
the world sees trash but we see Gods treasure .His Masterpiece they might be drugged out and hopeless but in their spirit they are crying for freedom crying for God and He is crying for them.
you must show them they are His masterpiece and He has a plan and a purpose just for them and he has paid the price for them to be free to fulfill that purpose.

Ephesians 2:9-10
9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

c. Power For Destiny

Now we have established from scripture God gives you a destiny a purpose something he has set you apart for . Now i want you to see he gives you His power and ability to fulfill it.

2Corinthians 4:7 We have this treasure in earthen vessels that the Excellency of the power may be of God and not of us
N.L.T. translation says .. So that everyone can see that our Glorious power is from God and is not our own.

Phillipians 2:13 For it is God who worketh in you both to will and to do His good pleasure.
You see He gives you a destiny and the power to fulfill it.
N.L.T. For God is working in you ,giving you the desire to obey Him and the power to do what pleases Him.
Amplified version 13 [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and ^]delight.
Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you..
amp version But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.

Wow do you see it ! He gives us the power of The Holy Spirit to fulfill our call  ...we are unstoppable. That does away with us feeling inadequate because it is His ability not our own. eph 6:10 We are strong in the lord and in the power of His might. It is His strength, His might, and His Glory. The very strength and might of the Holy Spirit  that Filled our Savoir when He was on the earth going about doing good and healing all that where oppressed of the devil now fills us to do the same. Like Jesus said as the father sent Him Now he sends us...  John 17:18
Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
You see he did all he did by the power of the Holy Spirit to be our example to show us what we were to do and by the power of the Holy Spirit in us have the strength to do it. That is why he said if we have faith we would do even greater things then he did because he went to the father and would send us the Holy Spirit ! read John 14
2 Timothy 1: is a Beautiful passage. Here Paul is encouraging his young protégé his son in the spirit to be fearless to be bold not ashamed of Jesus and his gospel. To fearlessly live a life of destiny was The call he must answer ...lets look at verse 9 Who hath saved us and called us with a holy calling not according to our own works (abilities , good deeds , talents) but according to His own purpose (the plan He has for us -destiny) and grace (His unlimited power and ability in us to fulfill that destiny), which was given us in Christ Jesus before worlds began...before this realm came to be God had a plan and purpose for you Now through Christ he fills you with his Holy Spirit and empowers you to live that purpose....aka destiny...

Not by power not by might but by my Spirit says the Lord..
You cant fulfill this life of destiny in your own strength. The devil will have you flat on the mat...you see we wrestle dark lords rulers of wickedness in the unseen realm and your little talent your little abilities your strength just wont get it...We must have His...you see its like mosses coming down from the mountain glowing with the presence of God. its like the verse in Isaiah that says those that wait upon the lord will renew their strength. In the Hebrew it means we trade our strength for His...that is what we need !do you hear that....how can you stand for destiny and not fall to fate you ask...here in lye's the answer...WAIT ON THE LORD...spend time in His presence and come forth with power...shinning with his glory gushing with His love overflowing with rivers of living water...this is what all hell fears this is what all creation longs for...the revealing of The sons of God the manifestation of the sons of God; Manifesting the life of God to a world who has been suffering under the deluge of the dark lord...
here in lies our call the basis of our destiny each one who names the name of CHRIST ian. To RE present Him; little Christs....This is our call as it was pauls. Jesus is telling us sending us as He did him.
Acts 26:18  I send thee To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Do you see how we can get it so wrong with natural sight and thinking. Well your not cut out for this .You aren't a natural leader like so and so. You just don't have any natural abilities .you aren't tall and mighty looking like your brothers .You cant possibly be Gods choice for king. etc etc...NO No ! God is looking for the foolish of the world, the nothings, the week. Do you see it...We could get caught up looking at the natural and feeling like we are nothing or we can look at Him which is with in us and realize he as called us to be His mighty Somethings. That He the creator loves us .You and me and has entrusted us with a plan and empowers us to fulfill it. And WE BLOW THE WORLDS MIND!! WOW...like they said of peter And john After they healed the lame man then proclaimed to the religious council that they did it by the power of the name of Jesus Christ  Acts Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus
other versions say unschooled ordinary men no special training...You see these were Jesus' revolutionaries , the nobodies to the world but Filled with the power of The Holy Spirit a force to be reckoned with...And so Are you ..You are Gods revolutionary. Jesus has chosen you. He wants to fill you with the Holy Spirit and use you to turn the world upside down. as was said of the disciples in acts. Acts 17:6 These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;

Lets look at a few more verses in the closing of this portion.

This is one of my Favorites ! (1cor 1:26 -31)
Because it shows there is hope for us that feel hopelessly inadequate .God chooses us to change the world. Why ..Because we know and everyone else knows it was God ..it had to be these shmuks couldn't have don't it they can barely say their name.:-)
  
   Much Like Gideon that God raised up in the old testament to bring freedom to his people. He felt like a nobody a nothing a nobody from a poor family and the least of his family but God called Him A Mighty Man of valour (There Are many the world will right of as nothing and we even write ourselves off but they/we are the very ones God is calling to lives of of destiny and purpose in this hour of great darkness to be free and bring freedom to our people -Only believe) The Spirit Of the Lord came upon Gideon and God had him lead an army to save his People but first he had him reduce the army from 32,000 soldiers down to a mere 300 man against an army as vast as the sands of the sea...Why...the same reason, later they wouldn't be able to boast what they had done. No, it was what God had done. He had freed them by His hand , it was a miracle and he didn't want them to forget.
1 Corithians 1:26-31
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

That no flesh should glory in his presence

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Oh Children Of God Sons of The Mighty, Soldiers of the Divine. See this today. You are not limited to the natural You are Sons of the Spirit. You are filled with The Holy Spirit His power and ability is in you You are Unstoppable. Don't let anyone tell you you cant if God says you can. If you believe in your heart then anything is possible, you can move mountains.
Can you see that this leaves self dead on the cross where it should be. The Pride and arrogance of I and look what I can do has no place here. It is a solemn remembering that everything i am everything i do is because of Him and what he has done my precious savior...He is my righteousness my wisdom my redemption Glory to Him !

I love these verses so much lets look at them in some other versions
Here is the nLv

 26 Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy^[g] when God called you. 27 Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. 28 God chose things despised by the world,^[h] things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. 29 As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.

 30 God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. 31 Therefore, as the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord.”^[i]

Here is the Message
26-31Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don't see many of "the brightest and the best" among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families. Isn't it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these "nobodies" to expose the hollow pretensions of the "somebodies"? That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God. Everything that we have—right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start—comes from God by way of Jesus Christ. That's why we have the saying, "If you're going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God."

I Love these verses ..I can really relate to being a nobody but the good news is we are Gods Some bodies and we have His ability and power and strength. We are strong in the lord and in the power of His might .We are seated with Christ in heavenly places. We have His authority. We are His representatives. We speak His name and demons tremble...Wow! But we are humble at the fact that it is all Him. That is why in revelations it is said that we are given crowns but then we lay them at the masters feet. We know it was all him not our works or abilities talents good looks manners ...no nothing..
I am so excited after reading these verses ..Isnt this our story brothers and sitsers  God chose things despised by the world,^[h] things counted as nothing at all, and used them!. Yes, God is calling you and i today as he did mosses many years ago ..He hears the cries of His people His creation is groaning and he longs to use us to bring freedom to his people as he did mosses. Mosses tried to say but i cant do it .I cant speak. I don't talk well ..I Stutter ...God said i will speak through you. Ill Give you the words and the ability. Look Man, I created the tongue. This is one argument that is futile .you are not going to win it. God is all powerful and has given you that power to fulfill your destiny. Can you see it we have no excuses of i cant or i am nothing if anything this only qualifies us the more in Gods system of things. How beautiful our Lord that cant take nothing something despised and looked down on by the world .Make it his masterpiece and use it to bring Glory to His name. To Bring revival ..Revolution. That is our story my friends. you and i..
Here are a few more verses to fuel and fire you up!
Eph 16:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Ephesisns3:16
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
NLV
I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit
Again Wow ! We are strengthened with Might (dunamis) The Miracle working power of the Holy Spirit in OPur Spirit...UN STOP ABLE!!!
