Nov. 15, 2012–How to Inherit Destiny

Darren CanningWe have all received prophetic words about our destinies.  We have all heard the things that God has in store for our lives. We have all been offered the same chance at becoming sons and daughters of God.  But not everyone seems to be able to walk into their promised lands.

But we grow frustrated in waiting, don’t we?  How do I possess the promises of God?  How do I go from having a prophetic word spoken over my life to actually possessing the promise within the word? If I can offer some insights regarding how to obtain the promises of God for your life it would be a blessing for me.

My understanding of the blessings of God is that they are for everyone.  Romans 2:11 says, “For God does not show favoritism.”  What he has done for one person he will do for another.

It is my belief that God has destiny for each one of us.  Each person has the ability to accomplish great things with their life in Christ in God.  Just because you were born into poverty or you have endured hardship is not a reason to believe that your destiny has been destroyed.  2 Corinthians 9:8 says, “And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”

As we learn to walk in the sound of God’s voice he will open up many realms for you that you did not expect.  He will destroy the lies that you have come into agreement with and you will begin to possess the gates of greater revelation, wealth and prosperity.

You do not have to accept less for your life than what God has for you.  You can live in abundance now and abundance forever.  But in order to possess the things that God has for your life you have to learn to hear his voice.  He will speak to you about many things.  He will tell you about what he wants you to do for a living, he will talk to you about your wife or husband, he will tell you where to live, where to go to church, how many kids he wants you to have, etc.  God will talk to you about everything in your life if you will let him.  It is when we allow God to direct the details of our lives that blessings come upon us.

This is essentially the essence of Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight.”

And here is another great scripture in Jeremiah 6:16, “This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’”

We are always standing at a crossroads when we come to God in prayer.  When we humble ourselves before God he opens up a way where there seems to be no way.  This is the ancient path of prayer.  Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

I pray that you will inherit your destiny today.  I ask the Lord to bless you to hear his voice and to give you the strength to walk in it.  May you find him when you seek for him with all your heart.

God bless you all.
