Spirit-Filled Life Without Purpose

You Have God Inside of You

If you don’t know your calling and purpose in life, you are doing it wrong. You will not thrive and succeed without knowing, and living as the person you were made to be. Success in life here on earth means you’ve done what God had planned for you to do. Think of Moses, he was supposed to enter the promised land but wasn’t able to because of his rebellion. And what about King David being unable to build the temple? Everything you do must be done for the Lord. And everything you do must be working toward your purpose, and destiny, as you serve the Body of Christ. If you are an eye in the Body don’t waste time trying to be a hand. Do the thing you were made to do wherever you are at.

I understand this is all easier said than done. I may even be making you mad. But I’m telling you the truth. There is good news though. God wrote your Book of Life before the foundation of the world. He loves you and wants you to learn here on earth to prepare you for your life to come in eternity. You will be judged for what you’ve done with the calling, talents, and gifts you’ve been given. God gives us all enough grace to do what we can with whatever we are doing. Allow yourself to grow, mature, and discover your strengths. Reframe your mind to be okay with failure. Failure is merely an opportunity to learn. God gives you grace, so give some to yourself.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. -- Romans 8:28, New King James Version (NKJV)

I Discovered My Purpose & it Wasn’t Easy

My church had been going through Rick Warren’s book, “The Purpose Driven Life,” and I was determined to know my purpose. I went on a hike one day striving to know what I was supposed to be doing. I even wrote a book about it titled, “Hardwired for Purpose: Blazing Trails to Follow God’s Lead.” That book took years to write and process mentally and emotionally. I expected the hike to be a relaxing time with God in nature; sitting beside a babbling creek. I thought I was going to sit there and get my life purpose while doing a Bible study. I had a backpack full of supplies. I had a couple of Bible translations, a Concordance, water bottles, a blanket, pens and highlighters, and my journal.

So I drove to the mountain trailhead where I wanted to hike and found a wonderful spot to rest. God said to keep going. I kept hiking up the trail to another spot that I liked and God said to keep going. I hiked about five miles up that mountain before I could finally stop. The place God wanted me to go wasn’t even on the trail. It was straight up the shale mountainside to a single pine tree in the distance.

In my book, I share all of the details of that hike, including revelation I received. God is so good. It was a hard day, but I learned so much that it was worth it . And best of all, I found my purpose in the sum of Psalm 96. Now, I know what to do, and I just need to work out the details as I continue my walk of salvation.

I encourage everyone to find their purpose and calling. Knowing what God has planned for you offers hope and a future. You receive promises from God in your purpose for growth and joy, and you can be sure that if you are still here, He’s not done with you yet.

A Song of Praise to God Coming in Judgment
Psalm 96 Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
²Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
³Declare His glory among the nations,
His wonders among all peoples.
⁴For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised;
He is to be feared above all gods.
⁵For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the Lord made the heavens.
⁶Honor and majesty are before Him;
Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
⁷Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
Give to the Lord glory and strength.
⁸Give to the Lord the glory due His name;
Bring an offering, and come into His courts.
⁹Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
Tremble before Him, all the earth.
¹⁰Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns;
The world also is firmly established,
It shall not be moved;
He shall judge the peoples righteously.”
¹¹Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;
¹²Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice
¹³before the Lord.
For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.
He shall judge the world with righteousness,
And the peoples with His truth.
— Psalm 96, NKJV

Can I Trust You, Lord?

Surprising Intimacy

I closed my eyes and settled into the silence. It started with a gentle kiss, a warm caress on my shoulder, then a more forceful embrace. The room in my mind was dimmed with red light symbolizing the perfect passion of Christ’s love for me (The same red light the enemy has stolen and perverted.). I thought of the Song of Songs and understood. The intimacy is remarkably blush-worthy. Jesus’ love excites His promise in me that I will be healed. This love of the Lord is difficult for me to imagine and receive. Growing up I trusted the adults in my life and intimacy was defiled. I didn’t know how much intimacy draws people together in reciprocal trust and care.

The truth is that people don’t trust God because they don’t trust people.

We’ve all trusted someone and have been let down. It’s inevitable that trust will fail on some level at some point in our relationships. We can expect to be disappointed because people are fallible. People will fall short of our expectations, especially if our expectations are too high, miscommunicated, or unreasonable. It makes sense that we’d have a hard time trusting again after we’ve been hurt. When we’ve been hurt over and over, trusting others becomes difficult. Which makes trusting God difficult too.

When we’ve trusted and been hurt, we can give people grace and forgiveness to maintain relationships. God does the same thing with us — He forgives us and gives us grace abundantly. God understands that we have a hard time trusting and He seeks our hearts anyway.

God’s compassionate agape love for us goes far beyond what we can ever imagine. God is trustworthy to say and do the very best for us. We can trust Him. God does not lie, so we can believe what He tells us in Scripture. God leads us in Proverbs 3:5–6, TPT saying, “Trust in the Lord completely and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go.”

Trusting God is an important foundation of our relationship with Him. If we don’t trust God, we will not easily enter our Secret Place. We must find the ability to trust Him to begin healing and growing in our relationship with Christ. We need to trust God and be receptive to receiving all He has for us.

Not Trusting is Not an Option

Without trust in God, we stay immature, lukewarm, broken, and fractured. We miss what is happening in the Body of Christ. Holding onto a lack of trust in God builds anger and resentment. Life becomes joyless, unfruitful, and stuck in cycles of destruction. Without trusting God, we stay the same, unchanged, with broken relationships, no purpose or vision, toxic, without identity, unsafe, and estranged from supernatural connection with Him. We suffer, remain discouraged, hopeless, scared, alone, and feel abandoned.

The truth is that when we trust God, He will draw us out of all the destruction caused by our sin and rebellion. We are in sin and rebellion when we don’t trust God because we are rejecting Him and all He has for us. God wants us to be free, whole, and healthy. He wants us to see the victory we’ve been offered through Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. God wants to permanently heal us, save us, and help us to know our identity in Him. With trust in God, we can find freedom in our Secret Place.

Trust Comes with Hope

God made us with a specific calling, purpose, and destiny we can only fulfill in our relationship with Him. Let’s receive more of God for our healing and to fulfill our destiny. Let’s live in our victory. Let’s bring our lack of trust and all our other cares to Him. Let’s surrender everything, even our lives to Him. It may be hard at first, and it may be a process, but we can find God our Secret Place. We can connect with Jesus deeply and enter His holy ground to receive everything He has prepared for us.

Everything we are looking for is waiting for us in our Secret Place. The desires of our hearts can be made manifest as we spend time with God. The exhilaration of freedom awaits us. Knowledge and understanding find us there. There’s more to the Secret Place than we can understand.

God Doesn’t Want a Middle Man

He Wants You

Let’s take a look at a few items related to our personal relationship with God and the covenant, and religion we now experience. In Covenant we are truly lovers and followers of Jesus Christ by the Word that is the Word of the Lord. In Religiousness we trap ourselves and we take our eyes off Jesus, like Peter walking on the water.

Consider the table below:

In Covenant	In Religiousness
God talks directly to you. John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.	We give ministers authority to talk to God for us. Exodus 20:18-21 Now all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off.Then they said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.”
Jesus paid the price for us. Galatians 3:13-15 Christ paid the price to free us from the curse that the laws in Moses’ Teachings bring by becoming cursed instead of us. Scripture says, “Everyone who is hung on a tree is cursed.” Christ paid the price so that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to all the people of the world through Jesus Christ and we would receive the promised Spirit through faith.	We pay penance by doing works for God. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
We have freedom in every area of our lives. 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.	Man-made rules, laws, and behaviors are followed. Romans 7:6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.
Everything we are blessed with is freely given. Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.	We have to earn degrees and certificates to be successful and approved. Matthew 23;1-5 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples,saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do to be seen by men.
God is always faithful to us. 1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. God’s faithfulness calls us into relationship, into a family where. We can experience love and growth together.	Man will fail us. Psalm 118:8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.

Word for Today/Vision

2-20-2023

*@ Photo Credit Northern Lights in Finland*

I see the Hem of His garment gracing the earth. Slowly He moves to touch the hearts of men. He will move it where the people want Him. Who are hungry.

For they cry out to receive His presence.

The people will receive what they can handle.

His presence responds to the Fear of the Lord, awe and reverance.

The wind of His garment moves His Glory from place to place.

He will never be rivaled.

His power never seen before.

His Glory indescribable.

He will bring His marvelous light to the nations and expose the darkness.

Every last crevice it can hide in.

We will see His hand in everything.

And every new thing.

He will oversee the nations with His newness and restorative Glory.

The old is dead and gone and passed away.

Behold HIM.

Behold the NEW THING.

A Ministry I Highly Recommend

Kevin Zadai

I love to watch his YouTube videos.

Dr. Zadai tells the truth and sticks to the Word of God. He is transparent and admits when he’s wrong. He asks his followers for help and co-labors with them. He and his wife, Kathi, also minster with children which is where his heart leaps for joy. He feeds the hungry with outreach wherever he goes, helps single moms pay their bills, and so much more.

Dr. Zadai also started an online school called Warrior Notes School of Ministry. which is accredited and about three-years old with over 36,000 students already. And he has a TV channel for his partners called Warrior Notes TV. Dr. Zadai’s flies all over the country and even internationally to teach, so check out his events page too.

Many of Dr. Zadai’s videos are long because they also do worship first, so skip that if you need to and enjoy!

A New Era A New Name

The New Normal

The shift we were waiting for has happened, so it’s time for us to transition with God’s heart and Holy Spirit’s guidance into this new era — which is often a church without four walls. We are moving with God as we gather knowledge and understanding together with you. Our hope is to help you move into the new era, to confirm what God is already telling you, and for us to co-labor together for our advancement in God’s Kingdom.

We are changing our name from Hardwired for Life to represent God’s heart in a new way. We felt our names were the most personal, relational, and intimate way to connect with you, so Just Sharon & Jana it is. Afterall, God is the God of personal demonstration and action. He leads by example and so should we.

We would like to share our words in honest and transparent ways. We want to show you how God is present in our everyday lives. We plan to share the wonders and the mess — mistakes and all.

So, please like, comment, and share what God is doing in your life. We are in this together.

With Faith, Hope & Love,

Sharon & Jana

Hope Deferred

Hope Realized

There’s nothing more hopeful than knowing the true love of God. But to understand God’s love we must love others as we love ourselves, yes, ourselves. It’s not easy to love that reflection in the mirror. We remember the past or the fear of the unknown future as we gaze into our own pain-filled eyes. Our eyes may lie, so we must also know the Word of God which is Jesus.

God’s Word can and will change any attitude we may harbor. We can read the Word. We can be persistent in our search for healing and wholeness. We can believe God loves us because His Word says so, and we can have faith that He wants the best for us no matter how we suffer.

I can say without a doubt that through my suffering I’ve discovered joy, and I hang onto hope every day; every time I take medication, every time I faint in public, or fall in the kitchen and break bones. The Lord sees how we persevere and rejoice in our sufferings. And somewhere, somehow, in the middle of it all, we mature. Reality, true reality, finds our hearts and minds. We come to know we can count on God’s promises in His Word.

God, Jesus, loves us more than the drops in the ocean or sands of the sea. He forgives us as far as the East is from the West. We are God’s children, and He wants the very best for us.

Within all the lessons we learn the Lord takes us to higher and higher levels of glory. So, we can hope for a future that is good and an eternity that is better.
