BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION

It’s easy to logically accept concepts in our minds without truly believing them in our hearts. For example, many of us know that God is good and wants to fulfill an amazing purpose in our lives, but how many of us truly believe it in our hearts?

If we took God at His Word about our identity and our purpose, things would change. We could live fearlessly and boldly. We would ask different questions, pray differently, and live differently—with hopeful expectancy for God to go above and beyond our wildest dreams.

MOVING TOWARD YOUR DESTINY

Thankfully, God has already done the work in establishing our identity and destiny. But stepping into your divine identity and purpose takes movement on our part.

What has kept you from stepping boldly toward God in the past?

FAR TOO EASILY PLEASED

“It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

—C.S. Lewis

DECLARE GOD’S WORD OVER YOUR LIFE

God’s word is without rival—containing inherent power that is activated and released by faith. Boldly declaring God’s truth over yourself will impart strength within you and will shape your future. Each day, as you speak these words and Scriptures over your life, you’ll be empowered to live a life without rival.

I am called, chosen, and appointed by God; I am alive for such a time as this!

For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion? (Esther 4:14 AMPC)
