Break in

We are all created for a purpose! Give God a few minutes today to speak his purpose into your life! Take 5 minutes and listen to worship music and clear out all of the distractions from your week; things you did wrong, homework, everything.

(If you don’t have any worship music get on YouTube and type in desperation band)

Pray Jeremiah 29: 11 -13
“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. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

Now take another 5 minutes and ask God to tell you his plan for your life, clear your thoughts and just let him speak. He might give you a picture in your head, a word, a book, a bible verse, etc. If you don’t get anything don’t be discouraged. Try getting up and walking around or clearing your brain of everything you are thinking about.

Examples: I want you to speak to children, Africa, Doctor, Pastor, Prophesy, I love when you work with your grandma, I have sent you to change nations.

Write in your journal and on the comment page what you heard and think over it and pray about it. Let someone know what you heard.
How do you think you do what God has called you to do? Write 3 things you can do this week to start walking in God’s plan for your life.

Love God with all our soul: Personality

the soul: is our personality or the animation expressing the uniqueness of our abilities and desires including the way we talk and walk and what our preferences are. Our personality is expressed most dynamically by our speech. What we say enhances or quenches our ability to grow in love. Therefore, we set our heart to express ourselves and to communicate in a way that enhances not diminishes love. When the Spirit is grieved, we do not receive from Him in the same measure (Eph. 4:29-32; 5:1-6).

So what?
In our failure our accomplishments we confess, “I’m loved (by God) and I am a lover (of God) therefore I am successful”. I am not defined by my failure or by my accomplishments. I am not despised by God, nor am I a hopeless hypocrite because of my weakness. We must live by our spiritual identity (what we look like to God) instead of our natural identity (what we look like to others). Write how you think God sees you in your journal and continue to confess God's words over yourself rather than others. See how God changes your outlook on life by seeing through his eyes and how he sees you rather than always worrying how others see you.

Love God with all our Heart

No one else can give God all "your love" except for you. A unique part of Jesus' inheritance has been entrusted by the Father to you specifically. It is the love that only you can give. We only get one opportunity to do this in a fallen world where love for Jesus is both costly and rare.

So What?
How do you move God's Heart? Try 3 different ways of turning your actions, emotions, time, energy, and heart toward him. We are God's inheritance! Only we can love God like we can! SO lets start today!
