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.

WHEN YOUR SPIRIT RETURNS TO THE FATHER, WILL YOU BE DAVIDIZED AND HAVE THE JESUS MINDSET?

Now, there's a new word for your vocabulary. Davidized! You'll find the meaning of my new word in Acts 13:36, the scripture tells us that David fulfilled all the purposes of God in his generation. So there you go. What are the purposes of God for you and me so that when our spirit returns to our father, we will have completed our mission in victory?

I find it unusual that so many Christian believers who love Jesus with all their hearts feel intimidated to compare themselves with Jesus. The Scriptures clearly tell us that he is not only our elder brother, but He is the pattern Son.

This is what the apostle Paul meant when he told those he was mentoring to follow him as he followed Christ. The pattern is always Christ, yet we are hesitant to compare ourselves to Christ. We're stuck in limbo.

Look what it means to have the Jesus mindset.

Jesus said he could do nothing by himself without the Father's approval and direction. John 12:49.

He was also clear that he did all of this to please his father. John 8:29.

And in Philippians 2:8, the scriptures tell us that he became obedient to the Father's will and went to the cross.

Note this: his obedience was not mechanical but relational. It was not coerced but given freely.

To have the mind of Christ is to have those attributes in your lifestyle: humility, obedience, and the passion to please the Father.

How do we obtain this lifestyle of the Jesus mindset? By absorbing the life and nature of our father through his word and spirit. We do that by receiving and believing what we hear from the Holy Spirit as we meditate upon his living word.

Dare I say that you could say the same of us as they did of Jesus?

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory as of the only begotten Son of the Father. We are not Jesus, the savior. However, we are a son and daughter in his likeness and favored of God, the father.

THE PARABLE CROWD-THOSE UNABLE TO RECEIVE DIVINE REVELATION

Have you ever asked yourself why it is that when the word of God comes forth, one person gets it and the one sitting right next to him walks away, shaking his head?

The disciples of Jesus in Matthew 1310 ask the same question, so you are not alone. The answer that Jesus gave gives us a clear pathway for you and me to be among those who hear and believe.

Most of us, with all of our hearts, want to hear and see the things of God. But often, without even knowing it, because of preconceived ideas or false teaching, we have shut our eyes and ears to the revelation of heaven.

Take a snapshot of Nicodemus, the teacher of the law who came to Jesus at night because he was ashamed to be seen with this controversial teacher.

In John 3, Jesus challenges Nicodemus with this statement: "How is it that you are a very respected teacher of the law and don't know the spiritual principles I'm trying to teach you?"

Here's an interesting key that Jesus gave Nicodemus at that time, which would be good for you and me to remember in our learning about the heavenly things.

The natural first, then the spiritual.

Jesus said to Nicodemus, " If you are not able to believe what I told you about the natural realm, what will you do when I begin to unveil the heavenly realm?

All of us start by listening to God's teaching in the parable crowd. The apostle Paul said that even nature speaks of God. So each of us can hear the message of heaven through what God has created all around us.

The tragedy comes when that's all we believe, and never go past that by opening our eyes and her ears to see spiritual things.

Open your eyes that you may see my friend and let God amaze you.

FAITH IS NEVER THE ABSENCE OF DOUBTS

Faith is consistently demonstrated in a persistent trust in the fathers promises, causing us to press through the prevailing doubts that confront us. Faith is that mysterious ingredient buried in the word of God that, as we feast on that word, it becomes a part of our deep fiber.

Check out Hebrews 11:6; without faith, it is impossible to please God, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and he is the rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

Think about the faithfulness of our creator for just a moment. He requires the substance, or, if you will, the action of what is called faith. In simple terms, faith is an action verb. When you have it and exercise it, you act upon what you believe.

If God our Father does require faith before we can encounter and fellowship with him, then do you suppose he would not supply that faith for us to exercise?

The correct answer here is yes, he would.

The scriptures tell us that every man or woman created by God has been given a measure of faith. So there you go, he's put faith within our framework. It's built-in, ready to go to work as soon as it's stirred up and brought by the word of God.

Unbelief and doubt will keep you out of your promise if you don't exercise and use the God-given faith that he has planted deep within your spirit.

According to Romans 10:9 and 10, the faith that is in us is ignited into action when the word of God is preached. The dynamics of our faith then become evident as we speak it forth into reality.

Jesus gave us example after example of speaking faith out of our spirits and watching the natural world around us change.

He told us to say, "To the mountain, be removed, and cast into the sea."

He spoke to the tree, telling it to dry up and die because it was not bearing fruit.

Let the word of God stir your faith today, despite doubts or fears or unbelief. And with the faith that God has given you, march through the resistance of unbelief to victory.

THE SIMPLICITY OF THE GOSPEL THAT WE ARE CALLED TO

The message of the coming Christ contained in the gospel is so simple to understand that even a child can receive and believe. The gospel that we love so well is the story of the promised Messiah, which we know to be Jesus Christ.

The Old Testament Saints and the prophets did not have the details, even though they spoke of his coming. When we look back at the prophecies of King David, it all makes sense to us because we have the revelation of who Jesus Christ is. Yet David and the other prophets who spoke of him spoke by faith that God was true and faithful to perform his promise.

In the age we live in, the gospel has taken on extra baggage in the form of theology and church doctrine that add nothing of importance to the most important message the world will ever know. Which is that Jesus did come, but why did he come, and what is the benefit of his coming?

When Paul began to lay out his revelation of Jesus Christ in the book of Romans, in the first chapter, second verse, he made this comment. My commission is to preach the good news.

Think about that for a moment, the gospel is good news. Jesus Christ came to set us free from the bondage of sin and death. And by his sacrifice on the cross and the witness of his resurrection from the dead. He proved that he was and is the Christ.

He sealed the deal between man and God by taking his blood to the throne room in his ascension to the Father. When he did that, he took us with him, and now we are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (EPH 2:6)

The gospel of Jesus Christ gave us a new address, a place of abode where our Father dwells.

THE RETURN TO GREATNESS

The Scriptures abound with big visions, dreams, and prophecies of greatness. From the very first statements in the book of Genesis to the last syllables of the book of Revelation, the Holy Spirit lays out God's plan. God's big plan for things so great, wonderful, and magnificent that the human mind cannot comprehend the scope of it.

His first statements concerning the creation of mankind describe his new creation as winners, not losers. God used descriptions such as "subdue" and "conquer" to develop and fill the whole earth with winners just like themselves.

Then came the great lie in the garden concerning the destiny and future of mankind. The deceiving liar convinced Adam and Eve that they were not winners, overcomers, and conquerors. As a matter of fact, your creator has lied to you. He is trying to keep you from knowing the truth, so go ahead and eat of the tree, and you will become wise.

It was at that point that the human race lost its greatness.

The return to our greatness began immediately as the Father instituted sacrifice and the covering of sin so that we might have fellowship, even though it was limited.

Through the centuries, following the prophets who came and went, leaving us a pathway to follow toward the coming of the Christ.

The events that we know so well in the New Testament we're total mysteries even to the prophets as they spoke of the coming Messiah. The apostle Paul tells us that it was a mystery hidden from generation to generation that Christ would die on the cross and rise from the dead for our justification and for our return to the greatness that the Father created us for.

John 14:12 says it this way: he that believes it on me the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.

Think about it, dear friends, we have been returned to greatness.
