Our God Given Potential

God has a plan.

God has a plan.

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

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.”

My life was knit together by the hand of God. My every day has been appointed.

Psalm 139:13,16 AMP

13 For You formed my innermost parts;

You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb.

Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;

16 And in Your book were all written

The days that were appointed for me,

When as yet there was not one of them [even taking shape].

I am His workmanship!

One predestined to do good works ordained by God.

My destiny is in His hands!

Ephesians 2:10

King James Version 21st Century

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath beforehand ordained, that we should walk in them.

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].

The Passion Translation

We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!

I am confident! God will be faithful to complete the good work He began in me at the very start of time.

Philippians 1:6 AMPC

And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.

Our God Given Potential

When we say, “Yes,” to Christ, the flood gates of our destiny break open, pouring out the promises of God. As we partner with the risen Lord, the red carpet of salvation unravels before us. He leads us, beckoning us to follow. Many followers question their destiny, uncertain of their direction, wondering what path to take. However, what is certain; in uncertain times, is that God has a plan. Though, we might not see the route too clearly, remember that God has gone before us. He has made a way.

Be encouraged, for your course throughout this life, has been ordained [decreed, predetermined, designated] by Almighty God! Your destiny [our God given potential]

is predestined by Him.

Be confident of this!

A Prayer For You

Father,

I lift up my brother and sister in the Lord to You in prayer..

Each one, individually knit together by Your hand, is Your workmanship! Purposed. Appointed. Loved. Lord, affirm them in this hour.

I pray with great faith for them, because I’m fully convinced that the One who began this glorious work in them will faithfully continue the process of maturing them and will put his finishing touches to it until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ!

(Philippians 1:6 TPT)

Please release Your perfect peace upon them. May their mind be stayed on You, as they trust You in all things. Allow Your perfect, absolute peace to surround those whose imaginations are consumed with you; as they confidently trust in you.

(Isaiah 26:3 TPT)

I bless you, dear family, with being all that God has called you to be - not having to perform - but free to be. Free to be, all that God has planned. For God’s plan [intention, goal, target, strategy] for your life is for good and not evil, bestowing hope and a future.

Father, shake off all that hinders them. May they even lay down their own plans.

In the Name of Jesus, I break off all discouragement from their hearts and minds, and declare over them, “God has made a way!” I command all stumbling blocks to be removed from their course. Move Your mighty hand, Lord, on their behalf. Illuminate their path. Let them see clearly, bring to their remembrance Your promises.

I decree, that the God given potential within each one is released at this moment.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. (Romans 8:28-30 NIV)

We say, “No!” to every hinderance…in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

(Romans 8:37-39 NIV)

I bless you, friend, with renewed faith for the journey.

May you go forward from here, revitalized, remembering our God is with you.

You - together with God - Got this! For God has a plan.

May His glory be magnified [expand, extend, erupt] within you, as you live out your God given potential!

From glory to glory!

Amen
