Protection in Your Purpose
Now, purpose provides protection. In some ways this benefit of purpose is an extension of confidence, because your purpose gives you the confidence that nothing can harm you until your purpose is finished. This includes not only the physical mishaps that might occur, but also the fear, worry and distractions with which the adversary may attempt to deter you from completing your purpose.
The was also accompanying Jesus while He was operating in His purpose. One day, Jesus and His disciples were crossing the sea of Galilee, when a storm arose that threatened to sink the boat. Remember, Jesus was asleep.
Constitutional Scripture: Luke 8:24-25 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 But He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, “Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
Focus Point: Keep in mind, Jesus couldn't die by drowning in the storm. That was not His destiny. His Father had sent Him to die on a cross for the salvation of all mankind. No mere storm was going to interfere with that purpose. Therefore, He was protected from death by stoning and drowning because of the purpose of the cross. Your purpose is your defense against a premature death.
Focus Point: Keep in mind: The same protection is available to all who know their God-given purpose, because God's purpose always prevails.
Constitutional Scripture: Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.
Focus Point: Remember, once God tells you His purpose for your life, chill out and relax. He's already told your predestination, so no matter how much pressure comes or how many problems threaten you, they cannot overcome you. When you know and live within the will of God for your life, you are invincible until your purpose here on earth is finished. Keep this in mind:
Purpose doesn't make life easy. It makes life possible.
