DIVINE DESTINY - Introduction - Part 1


Psalm 66:16: “Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me”.

Psalm 45:1 “My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the King; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer”.
This is a Divine Message of Divine Destiny, wrapped up in Divine Moments of Divine Love, Divine Mercy and Divine Grace. It is a true story - my story - written by my Divine Lover - just as He has written one for each of you. This is just a chapter today - which is seemingly ordinary and mundane. *Yet, He Himself who ordains all my days, and delights in every detail of my life, determined the times set for me and the exact places where He would reveal His Divine Destiny for me.
*Psalm 37:23: “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; and He delights in his way”. (NLT: “…He delights in every detail of his life…”
*Psalm 139:16 “All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be”.
*Acts 17:26b “…and He determines the times set for them and the exact places where they should live…”

Before I tell you this chapter in my story, let’s look at the “wrappings” that enfold it:

Divine DestinyJesus defined this in His prayer in John 17: 22, 23, 24a: “I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one. I in them and you in me. Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory…”

 Divine Moments. These are the times when we recognize the personal hand of God working details, times, and places together to reveal Himself to us as the Lord of our destinies. Divine Moments occur in dreams, visions, prophecies, circumstances, “coincidences”, and surely the Word of God. These Divine Moments comfort, confront, convict, counsel. They reveal the very Presence of God who is not far away in heaven, but walking beside us on this earth.

Divine Love, Divine Mercy, and Divine Grace.
Ephesians 2:3b-5 “…we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved.”

 Remembering our Divine Moments.
“…Do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live.” Deut. 4:9
