Living In His Heartbeat (Purpose)

The more that I find myself going deeper into the heartbeat of Jesus, the more I find His heart and purpose for my life being revealed. A few years ago when God met me where I was and completely wrecked my life with His presence He spoke this bible verse into my spirit.

   "Therefore this is what the Lord says: If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them. I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to rescue and save you," declares the Lord." -Jeremiah 15:19-20

At the time I didn't realize that God was placing a prophetic Word in my life that would soon birth in me a passion to preach. I didn't realize that this was a calling from my Savior to step into the purpose for which He has birthed me. Over the years I've gone through trials that have tested my faith and worn me out. I've submitted to my flesh rather than submitting to the Spirit. I've failed and have been disobedient. Through all of these things God has brought me closer and closer to His heart. Through each trial He reveals to me more of His purpose for my life. I wouldn't say that I have it all figured out and know exactly where God is going to call me. But I do know that I have a divine purpose and that as I sit at Jesus' feet more and more that purpose has been revealed. Jesus' heart beats for our purpose. Why? Because the purpose for which God has planned for us will glorify Him, bring souls into His kingdom, release revival, and send out His unrelenting love to every place that our feet step. You don't have to be called to be a pastor in order for these things to happen. Because these things are God's purpose for each of our lives. The enemy loves to send confusion into our lives so we become worried as to what our calling/purpose is. When I was in high school I would always hear people talk about what they wanted to have as a career and I would get overwhelmed because not only did I not know what I wanted to do but I did not feel a passion for what would be considered a normal job. When I got hung up on this confusion it turned into frustration which then led to me being upset with God. That's exactly what the enemy wanted. But I've found that submitting to the confusion of the enemy only brings you further from your purpose. Instead of submitting to the enemies confusion I started siting at Jesus' feet and saying "Lord this is your life take it, use it, do whatever you want because I have no idea what I'm doing." The more I do this, the more I find that Jesus is just as concerned with our purpose as we are. He wants to see this life that He has birthed flourish in His joy and Spirit. He wants to see the things which He has set you apart with before the beginning of the world come to fulfillment. You guys, the more that we spend time with our King the more His purpose begins to unfold in our lives. It's a supernatural process that requires of us to be faithful because we may not always be able to see where we are going. But it is so worth it. I am a strong believer that God has set a divine purpose for your life. He knew what it was before you were even growing in your mom's womb. Don't let the world tell you any differently and don't submit to the lies of the enemy. Go and sit at Jesus' feet and say "Jesus dream through me, breathe through me, have my life and let the purpose for which you have created it come to fulfillment." I promise that when we do this with open hands and open hearts He will allow us to see ourselves through His eyes and will place us right in the center of the purpose for which His heart beats. You have purpose beyond your understanding. Instead of seeking the purpose, seek the One who has created the purpose. -Sofia
