WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DESTINY?

Before I answer that question, let's take a review of the nature of our creator and examine some of his creative ways. After all, we are talking about a god of detail and precision that has created the most amazing piece of work ever imagined.

Of course that's you and me who David said we were fearfully and wonderfully made.

Then take a snapshot of Jesus as he moves through his brief visitation to earth representing God himself. Remember everything he did was a reflection of what the father was doing. And every attitude that he had toward people was the exact image of his heavenly father.

For example, when he fed the 5000 which in all reality was about 25,000. And he did it with a few fish and some loaves of bread. Jesus was so detailed that he ordered his disciples to collect what was left over.

Think about the nature of the father after supplying food for 25,000 people to be concerned about 12 basket fulls at the end of all that miraculous multiplication of food. Our God never misses a lick. He's the original detail person. He always has a plan.

So here's the question. Do you think God has a plan for you when he created and sent you to your earthly home? I do. Because it's his nature he's a detail planner.

Check out Hebrews 12 and the first verse today. And as we do this, ask some questions of our heavenly father about our destiny. After all, he said that if we would ask, he would answer and give us the wisdom that we need for the moment and for the days ahead..

Hebrews 12:1 gives us the secret of actually finishing our race toward our intended goal or destiny that God is already designed for us.

That gives us hope that we can actually fulfill the will of God while on earth.

WHY DID GOD GIVE US NEW DAYS, YEARS, AND SEASONS?

There is a repeated phrase in the King James Bible that always caught my attention when I came across it. It was the statement, “and it came to pass.” If there ever was a description of the passing of time, it would be that statement. Here it comes, and there it went.

After you've lived a few years, you realize how quickly the year goes by, and here we are wishing you a happy new year for 2026. You may have forgotten that it's only been 26 years since the end of the world according to the doomsday crowd at the turn of the new year of 2000. It was going to be all over, according to the world press, the collapse of the computer system, and of course, the church got involved and twisted the scriptures for their theories.

Why did God give us a new year?

The same reason he's given us days and seasons is that He's a God of the second chance.

It's like resetting your clock to the correct time after the battery runs out. He created us in the same way that we need to have a restart on a regular basis.

As a child, my mother often told me to go to bed so I would feel better in the morning.

I usually did. Recharged with a fresh vision for the day.

So it is with a new year. He is the God of the second chance. That's why we are prone to come up with New Year's resolutions. We realized the weaknesses and failures of the last year, and now we have a chance to make it right in this new year.

Unfortunately, without the Holy Spirit's help, most of those New Year's resolutions fall away very quickly. It's only when we depend on the power of Christ who lives within and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to guide us into new days and a new year that we succeed.

This new year holds every wonderful possibility that God ever offered to you and me through faith and obedience. Take the chance you didn't take last year and believe God for the impossible.

You'll be amazed at what develops in this brand new year.

WHEN WAS THE WORLD REDEEMED BACK TO GOD?

Why is that an important question to understand? When we get the big picture and understand the breadth of redemption, it will make a fantastic change in our personal walk with Christ.

I was raised in the middle part of the last century in the world of Pentecost. I love the Pentecostal world, which includes experiencing the Holy Spirit's baptism and the gifts of the Spirit. I love the emphasis that Pentecost placed on divine healing.

Unfortunately, in my small world, we were taught to understand salvation, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, divine healing, and the second coming of Christ.

Outside of those perimeters of revelation was what I call the big picture that God has invited us to participate in and understand.

Our favorite scripture verse has always been John 3:16. We memorized it as children. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. “Somehow, we had the conception that it was when a person received Jesus that they were reconciled back to the Father. We saw it as one reconciliation at a time.

Yet the apostle Paul answers this question very directly. He states that the world was redeemed back to God at the cross and sealed by the resurrection.

One of the key verses that Paul uses is found in Second Corinthians 5:19.

God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not counting their sins against them.

Paul does not say "the church" or "believers" here. He says the world. (the cosmos)

That scripture tells us something critical:

Reconciliation is an accomplished fact, not a potential one.

God's posture toward humanity changed at the cross, not what individuals later believed.

Colossians 1:20 confirms this. Having made peace through the blood of his cross, he reconciled all things to himself.

So, yes, the death of Christ objectively dealt with sin for the human race.

It's when we believe in Jesus Christ that faith is awakened and the door is open for you and me to receive the benefit of that reconciliation. We call it the born-again experience.
