Introduction:

One of the most powerful things you can do to improve your life is to embrace your new Identity and purpose in Christ.

This post is focused on your new purpose, The prior post about your new identity is HERE.

God invested time and energy to put you here at this time and this place. He created you in His image and built you with great gifts and talent to do good. He has great plans for you and high expectations.  Your potential has been limited by the sinful nature you inhereted from Adam and the lessons you have learned and habits you have develooped in the fallen world you grown up in. Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross to free you from that sinful nature and release your full potential.  A key part of unlocking your full potential is understanding your true purpose for being here: You are here to bring glory to God in all you do and shine as a bright light in this dark world.

Each of us plays a critical role in propagating the Kingdom of God: 1) Living our own life as God intended so we realize the benefits, 2) Being a positive role model for others to see and then follow, 3) Being a positive influence on the lives of others by our interactions and good works, 4) Being a witness for God, Jesus, and the Kingdom by sharing our testimoy.

The most effective way I have found to get our head, heart, soul and spirit all aligned and engaged on your new purpose in Christ is to declare your intentions. When you assemble and understand God’s written words for you, and you speak them outloud with the authoirty you have been given, you begin to see things from a new perspective. As you work through questions and gain deeper understanding, you become aligned and begin to embrace this new role and your purpose in God’s grand scheme . Your mind is renewed and you begin to see Gods perfect will for you.

Here is a strawman for your consideration. Read this outloud and notice any points where you have questions or doubt. Work through the related scriptures and ask quesions. Become more bold as you go and you will see confidence and Faith beginning to fill you and empower you. Let me know how this works for you.
