As a reminder, at Beloved, we 20 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 3: are hosting an online Bible study called Crazy or Call 21 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 3: that starts June fifth. In that Bible study, we will 22 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 3: be learning about ten men and women of faith in 23 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: the Bible to learn how we can confidently answer God's 24 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: call on our lives and clearly discover what that call is. 25 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 3: In the first place, you can go to Belovedwomen dot 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 3: Org to learn more about that. But speaking of purpose 27 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: and calling, that's what today's podcast episode is also about, 28 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 3: because I know that many people struggle with knowing what 29 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 3: their purpose is for themselves. We all have a overall 30 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: general command from g in Matthew twenty eight nineteen to 31 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: go and make disciples, but we also have specific purposes 32 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 3: and assignments from God that are unique to us. 33 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: And this is what I've noticed. 34 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 3: Some people have a hard time clarifying and discovering what 35 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 3: it is, and even once you discover what it is, 36 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: having the boldness and the confidess actually walk in that. 37 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: And so today I want to talk about how we 38 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 3: can prayerfully be seeking the Lord on this matter so 39 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: that we can walk in our callings with. 40 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: Boldness and confidence. 41 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 3: The first way that you want to seek God, and 42 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: the first thing that you want to pray about when 43 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: it comes to discovering His purpose on your life is 44 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: your position. And what this means is where are you 45 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 3: located in life? Meaning both your physical location but even 46 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 3: the season of life. You are in because these locations 47 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: can drastically reveal what God is calling you to do. 48 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: God is sovereign, and he has you at this location 49 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: for a very specific reason, because it gives you access 50 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 3: to certain people, certain resources, and He's placing you there 51 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: because He wants you to use that location and what 52 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 3: you have at that location to pursue and answer His 53 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 3: call on your life. So some questions that you might 54 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 3: want to ask yourself and prayerfully be seeking the Lord about, 55 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: are where am I in life right now? What do 56 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 3: I believe that this location and season in my life 57 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: reveals about God's purpose for me? What season of life 58 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: am I in right now? And also why do you 59 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 3: think God has called you to that season? And what 60 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 3: lessons are here in this season, in this location for 61 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: you to learn. The next way that you want to 62 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: see God when it comes to discovering His purpose for 63 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 3: your life and answering his call is to seek Him 64 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: about what's on your heart, to seek Him about your passion. 65 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: What do you love to do? 66 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 3: What makes you feel alive and closest to God? What 67 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: would you do for free? These are just some questions 68 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 3: to ask yourself to discover your purpose because your passion 69 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 3: in many ways reveals your purpose. Now, I know what 70 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: you might be thinking, Well, doesn't the Bible say that 71 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 3: the heart is deceptive? You might be wondering, can my 72 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 3: passions really dictate my purpose? And here's the truth. If 73 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 3: God is first in your heart, then yes, because he 74 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: has the ability and we talked about his sovereignty as 75 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 3: well to change your heart and to mold your heart. 76 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 3: And the passions and the desires that you have often 77 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: come from God, especially when they are good and purposeful 78 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 3: for the upbuilding of His kingdom. And so you want 79 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 3: to ask yourself and seek the Lord on these questions. 80 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 3: What are you passionate about and absolutely love doing? What 81 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 3: is something that you loved doing even as a child, 82 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 3: that maybe you haven't done in a really long time 83 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 3: because adulting, do you see ways that you can pursue 84 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 3: or that you're already pursuing things that you're passionate about 85 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: as an adult? The next way that you want to 86 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 3: seek the Lord in prayer to discover your purpose is 87 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 3: to seek, is to learn, is to ask the question, 88 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: what's my proficiency? And so this is what are you 89 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 3: good at? These are the gifts and the talents that 90 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 3: the Lord has given you. And one way I see 91 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: a lot of people struggle here is that they don't 92 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 3: realize that they are actually proficient in an area. They 93 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 3: don't realize how good they are because they kind of 94 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 3: downplay their gifts and their talents because they're shy or 95 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 3: some sort of false sense of humility. But it's important 96 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: for us to realize what we're good at because those 97 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 3: gifts come from God and they reveal to us his 98 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 3: unique calling on our lives, and they're specific to us, 99 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 3: and so they show us how we can be walking 100 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,119 Speaker 3: in that call in a way that nobody else can. 101 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 3: And I think about Joseph. He was gifted at leadership, 102 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 3: and whether he was a slave, imprisoned, or even ruled 103 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 3: in Egypt, he always operated in the gift of leadership. 104 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 3: Because your gifts are not on you, they're in you. 105 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: They come from God. Proverbs eighteen, verse sixteen says a 106 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 3: man's gift makes room for him and brings him before 107 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 3: the Great And that's what I love about purpose is 108 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 3: that it can't be contained by your situation. That wherever 109 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: you are, they're Your purpose is always because God's gifts 110 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: are in you. So you want to be seeking God 111 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 3: about what he has gifted you to do well and 112 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 3: to do with excellence in a way that other people 113 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 3: can't do. What are things that people always ask you 114 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 3: for help with because they know that you're good at it. 115 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 3: What comes easy to you that doesn't necessarily come easy 116 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: to others. These are the gifts and talents that God 117 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: has entrusted you with that give you clues as. 118 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: To what you are purposed to do. 119 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 3: The next way that you want to seek the Lord 120 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: in prayer as far as his purpose on your life 121 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: is to ask him what's in your possession? What has 122 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: God given you to work with? In Genesis, God called 123 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 3: the man and the woman that he created to subdue 124 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 3: the earth. That means it is our job to build 125 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: and create and cultivate an earth that is a beautiful 126 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 3: place to live. What we have to realize about God 127 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 3: is that he doesn't give us finished pride. He just 128 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 3: gives us the raw materials. And so that's what we 129 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 3: could be searching. So that's what we could be seeking 130 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 3: the Lord about to understand his purpose on our lives. 131 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 3: What raw materials has he given you and how can 132 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 3: you use them to build up His kingdom? When God 133 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 3: called Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery. 134 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: Moses gave God all the excuses that he could think of, 135 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 3: but God said to him, what's in your hand? And 136 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: Moses said, well, I have a staff. And God went 137 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 3: on to use that staff to perform miracles and wonders 138 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 3: and Moses led his people out of slavery because God 139 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 3: enabled him to use what was in his hand. So 140 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 3: don't downplay what's in your hand, like, oh, this is 141 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: just a camera, or oh this is just a computer. 142 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 3: Oh this is just a pen, or oh this is 143 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 3: just some scissors to cut hair with. Like what is 144 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: it that's in your possession that you have that you 145 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 3: can utilize with the gift that you have to pursue 146 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 3: the purpose that God has on your life? 147 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: What's in your hand? 148 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 3: Now? You might feel like you don't have that much 149 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: in your hand, you don't possess a lot, But guess what, 150 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 3: that's okay because God does not need a lot to 151 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: do a lot. He just wants you to get started 152 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 3: with what you have and trust that He is faithful 153 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: to finish what you start for him. The next way 154 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 3: that you want to seek the Lord to discover your 155 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 3: purpose is to seek Him about the problem in your life. 156 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 3: And so what I mean by that is what things 157 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 3: frustrate you, what things make you up set. You know, 158 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 3: we're really good at finding problems and complaining about things 159 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 3: and how they can be better, But sometimes we fail 160 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 3: to realize that we are the solution to the problems 161 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 3: that frustrate us. And so in that way, our problems 162 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 3: and frustrations reveal our purpose, the way that God wants 163 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: us to make things better, to be the change that 164 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 3: we desire to see in the world. Now, frustration and 165 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 3: anger can't be our motivating force, but it does reveal 166 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: what God may be calling us to do. So we 167 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 3: want to seek the Lord and really process those feelings 168 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 3: of anger or frustration and say, Lord, how have you 169 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 3: called me to be a change in this situation? What 170 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 3: topics frustrate you? And why do you think that this 171 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 3: problem bothers you in the way that it does, And 172 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 3: how can you see God using you to be a 173 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 3: solution to that problem. The next way that you want 174 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 3: to seek the Lord in prayer about your purpose is 175 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 3: to talk to him about your past. Now, I want 176 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 3: to clarify here your past does not define you, but 177 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 3: it can propel you into your purpose. In fact, many 178 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: times that's exactly what God uses your past to do. 179 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 3: Your past tells a story and so a question that 180 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 3: you want to ask God when it comes to discovering 181 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 3: your God given purposes. What's in my past? Oftentimes the 182 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: things that we've been through, in the experiences that we've lived, 183 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 3: give us insight into the purpose that God has given us. 184 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: Now. 185 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, and I get it, we want to run away 186 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 3: from our past. We want to act like it didn't happen, 187 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 3: especially if it's a very hard and challenging past. But 188 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 3: here's the truth. Our past hold a key to our 189 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: purpose if we will give God the chance to heal 190 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 3: us from our past so that we can have the 191 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 3: power and authority to help and heal others. Oftentimes purpose 192 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 3: is birthed out of a painful past. Not that God 193 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 3: wants us to experience that pain, but He will use 194 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 3: it to propel us to our purpose. And so we 195 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 3: want to seek the Lord about our past. How has 196 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 3: how has your past affected who you've become? What have 197 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 3: you overcome in your past that you now can help 198 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 3: others overcome? These are keys to understanding God's purpose for 199 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 3: your life. And finally, you want to seek the Lord 200 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 3: about your potential. When it comes to discovering your purpose, 201 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 3: you know there are certain things about you that reveal 202 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 3: your purpose that have yet to be discovered. But God 203 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 3: knows that they're there. 204 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: Because he's the one that put them there. 205 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 3: So if you're in a situation where you feel like, well, 206 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 3: I don't have anything in my hand, and I don't 207 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 3: really think anything in my past reveals anything about my purpose, 208 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: and I don't really have a problem, and I don't 209 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 3: necessarily feel like I'm proficient in anything, here's the truth. 210 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 3: God may be calling you to do something that you 211 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 3: don't feel like you're good in, but he knows that 212 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 3: you will once. 213 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: You take a step of faith. 214 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 3: God sees the potential that's in you because He put 215 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 3: it there, and so that's why He often calls us 216 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 3: to do things that seem bigger than us, or to 217 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 3: do things that we don't feel like we're ready to do, 218 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 3: or to do things that we don't feel that we're 219 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 3: good at. We don't know our potential, but God does. 220 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: So when he leads you to do something that you've 221 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 3: never done before or something that you feel weak in, 222 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 3: it's because he knows your potential, and as you walk 223 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: in that potential, you will feel stretched. But that's just 224 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 3: God pulling out the potential he placed in you from 225 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 3: the beginning.
