“God has created each and everyone of one of us with precise purpose and divine destiny. Whether we achieve our Godly ordained destiny or fulfill our God established purpose in life will depend totally on our perception of God and our relationship with Him.”

“I want to talk with you today, from the scriptures, concerning the moving toward Divine Destiny by Dimensions.”

“Mr. Webster defines destiny in several ways. 1) The inevitable or necessary succession of events, (2) What will necessarily happen to any person or thing; and (3) That which determines events: said of either a supernatural agency or necessity. Though I would not define God the Father as an agency, I do believe that an intimate personal relationship with Him is an absolute necessity in achieving the fullness of our Divine Destiny.”

“Let’s look at the scriptures. Luke 8:22-26, ‘Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he (Jesus) went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, ‘Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. (23) But as they sailed: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were in jeopardy. (24) And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased and there was a calm. (25) And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! For he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. (26) And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.’”

“There are three things you must know in order to move into your next dimension of destiny. (1) Know who you are following, (2) Know where you are going, and (3) Know how you are going to get there.”

“Let me give you scripture references for these points. (1) Jeremiah 3:15 (AMP) ‘And I will give you [spiritual] shepherds after My own heart [in the final time], who will feed you with knowledge and understanding and judgment.’”

“You must know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the leader with whom you are serving, whether male or female is the one God has placed in your life for your spiritual development and well being. God does not place you somewhere because it is growing or popular, but he places you there that you may grow and flourish and develop a more intimate knowledge of Himself. Is your purpose being fulfilled? Are you being launched toward Divine Destiny? Is that happening for your family also? Are you and your leader going in the same direction? Do you find it a delight to spend time praying for and with your leader?”

“You must know that the leader that’s been God-ordained to lead you into your divine destiny is a gift from God and you must be able to view them as such. This leader must have your best interest at heart, and speak the prophetic principles of destiny into your life on a regular basis. You must also be able to hear and to know that the heartbeat of God is in these deposits. But again, you must know that this is the gifting that God has placed in your life. The gifting that God has placed in your life is to elevate your mind out of the realm of the carnal (natural), into the realm of the Spirit (supernatural), so that you begin to perceive that a major part of your destiny is to walk in dominion in every dimension of life and that nothing has absolute authority over your life except God. Your appointed gifting will also be able to help perceive God from a totally different perspective, so that you will understand and be able to perceive and judge even the things of the spirit realm.”

“(2) Habakkuk 2:2-3(KJV) ‘And the Lord answered me, and said, ‘Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. (3) For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.’ Proverbs 29:18(KJV) ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.’”

“In the place where God has ordained you to serve, there must be a God given vision and you must be able to get into agreement with it. You should know and understand the vision of your leader, write it down where you can see it often, water it with your prayers and become totally one with it, because it is a word from the Lord. You should be a part of the solution to bring the vision to manifestation and fruition. As long as the vision is from God it will play a major role in getting you to your divine appointment with destiny. The vision will bring forth Godly revelation and Divine insight and as long as you keep yourself aligned with it, you will find yourself in proper positioning with God. Without a vision, you are uncovered, and unprotected. This is why it is absolutely necessary, that there is continual unfolding of God given revelation, and that the life of God (Zoe) flows freely and continuously.”

“(3) Joshua 1:8-9(AMP) ‘This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success. (9) Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous, Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.’ Romans 10:8, 17(KJV) ‘But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; (17) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.’”

“In order to move into our place of destiny, we must hear and obey the word of God, become one with the presence of God and activate the faith of God in our lives in every dimension. Just as God told Joshua, each of us must learn how to literally become the word made flesh (active, alive) in order to be prosperous, make Godly (wise) decisions and become the successes in this world and the next that God has ordained us to be. We cannot be afraid to venture out on the word of God, nor can we afford to confess defeat in the presence of God. We must continually be saying exactly what God is saying and thereby we end up doing exactly what God is doing.”

“Let’s go back to our original passage in Luke. Let’s review what the Lord said to His disciples in verse 22. ‘Let us go over unto the other side of the lake is what he said. In just that one sentence was the whole outcome of the journey. We must understand that God sees the end from the beginning, and being God in the flesh, Jesus spoke into their destiny. We already saw that the scriptures say that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.”

“So what I see in the case of the disciples at this time in their ministry is that they did something that many of us must be aware of in our own lives, that is, they listened, but they did not hear. I say that because if you follow the text, you’ll see that they were obedient to the master’s voice without actually hearing what he said. If they had truly heard him, they would have, like Himself, been able to confidently rest in the word that was spoken to them and realize that they had a divine appointment with destiny. He didn’t tell them what would happen on the journey or what it would take to reach their destination, but he did tell them that they were going to make it.”

“When the storms, trials and tribulations of life begin to howl and rage, we can’t afford to find ourselves speaking contrary or diametrically opposed to the word of destiny (faith) that has been spoken into our lives by the Voice of the Lord. Fear and Faith (God) are antagonists and cannot operate on the same plain. As you can see as you follow this passage, the disciples had not quite come to realize who their good shepherd was, but there was beginning to be an awakening that there was something absolutely different about His level of faith and power. The first three words of verse 26 allow us to see the fulfillment of the word of destiny spoken over their lives, And They Arrived. Know this, whatever word of Destiny that God has spoken over your life, it shall come to pass.”
