God’s Goals, Your Journey: Aligning Your Life with His Purpose

Many people struggle with the idea of God’s assignments for their lives. They think of them as burdens—things they “should” do rather than things they “want” to do.

But the truth is, when we align our hearts with God, His desires become our desires.

Some people wait for clear signs before they step into God’s plan. They say, “Lord, if You want me to do this, change my heart, open the doors, provide the money, and make it clear.”

But faith doesn’t work like that. You can’t sit back with remote-control faith, waiting for everything to align perfectly before stepping out. God calls us into active participation.

“A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9)

This means we are meant to plan—to set goals, to dream, to move forward—while trusting God to guide our steps.

Promises from God with Personal Confession and Affirmation Statements

Promises from God with Personal Confession and Affirmation Statements

Confessing and affirming God’s promises is not about trying to get God to act or convincing ourselves of something that is not yet true. For the New Covenant believer, confession and affirmation flow from the reality that we are already complete in Christ. We are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), and we affirm what God has already accomplished for us through Jesus. Scripture tells us that all of God's promises are "Yes" and "Amen" in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20). This means that through Jesus, every promise God made is already ours.

The Good News of Perpetual Sanctification: Resting in Christ's Finished Work

When we talk about sanctification, it's easy to slip into thinking it's something we have to work to achieve. We might feel we have to climb a mountain of effort, behavior, or spiritual discipline to reach holiness. But the truth, the Good News, is that sanctification isn’t something we accomplish through our own striving. Sanctification is a gift, completed in us by Jesus Himself. His once-and-for-all sacrifice has set us apart for God and made us holy, forever.

Programming Your Heart to Trust and Obey God

Guarding your heart and keeping it open to the Spirit of God is essential for walking in His fullness. Proverbs 4:23 tells us, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." But how do we keep our hearts receptive to the Word of God and fertile ground for His Kingdom?

The answer lies in practicing four key spiritual disciplines that condition your heart to respond intuitively to God's Spirit:

  1. Judging God Faithful

  2. Putting on the New Man

  3. Doing Good to All

  4. Walking in Love

These spiritual disciplines are more than just religious activities—they are practices that align your heart with God's truth, making it sensitive to His Spirit and creating fertile soil for the Word of God to bear fruit in your life.

Lessons from Peter: How Jesus Corrects and Restores Us for His Mission

In the Gospels, the Apostle Peter stands out as one of the most passionate and impulsive followers of Jesus. His bold declarations and zealous actions often put him in situations where he unintentionally misrepresented the heart and mission of Christ. Yet, what is striking about Peter’s journey is not just his frequent need for correction, but the way Jesus responds to him with patience, grace, and unwavering trust. Each time Peter falters—whether by misunderstanding, acting out of fear, or even denying Jesus—he is met with loving rebuke, instruction, and restoration.
