God created us to fulfill a specific purpose in life, and it is up us to take the necessary steps to find our purpose and walk in it. One of the greatest gifts in life is the ability to see beyond our present state- to dream. God placed visions and dreams in our hearts to show us a preview of our destiny. If we enter into our future without first seeing the vision, we will not recognize it when it is placed in front of us. Before destiny is achieved we must see the vision, and make the decision to walk in it, then God will prepare us, build us up, and equip us with the tools we need to make our dreams a reality.
But the fact of the matter is that once we've made the decision to submit our will to Gods will, there are going to be tests and trials that we will have to endure in order to get to the place God needs us to be. Tests and trials, while we are going through them, may seem never-ending, and often times impossible to overcome, but they are necessary because they allow God to strengthen areas in our lives that are weak. It is very vital that through our journey of preparation, we study the Word, and heed the voice of the Lord so that He can lead us to our destiny, because the enemy will come in and try to steal the dream that God has placed on the inside of us and replace it with false illusions, which then, will make our God-given dream distorted. If we are going to fulfill our destiny in God and see our dreams birthed, we are going to have to do it His way and on His timetable. God knows when it is the right time for us to move forward, and He knows when we are ready. Finding Gods will is a continuous activity that will be a part of our lives until we go to heaven, but these four things will help us as we seek His will for our life: Pray, Believe, Persevere, & Watch while our dreams manifest.
Ask Yourself:
What are the God-given dreams the Lord has placed on the inside of me?
Am I willing to take the necessary steps to birth this dream?
How will I combat and stand against the enemy's efforts to steal, kill and destroy my God-given dream?
What will become of my dreams?
Write down 5 goals that will push you closer to your destiny.
Prayer: Heavenly father, I thank you for the dreams that you have placed on the inside of me, I thank you that Your will be done in my life, I thank you that I follow the straight and narrow path that You have placed me on. I thank you that I hear your voice clearly and the voice of a stranger I do not follow. Lord I choose to praise through my test and trials because I know the trying of my faith worketh patience. Father God , lead my to the place where I can dwell in your presence so that I may know what is the hope of my calling, remove any and all distractions that will lead me off my destiny track, remove the people who are the dream stealers in my life and replace them with dream seekers, people who will assist in leading me to my divine destiny. I thank you Father that you are my guide and I will reach my divine destiny. Amen
I pray that the favor of God be poured out into all of those who reads this blog, and I will see you on the other side of your Destiny!

I love it. This is something I was dealing with for a while. It was hard for me, but one day one of my pastors told me to enjoy the small steps because they will lead me to my destiny. My other pastor once said 'God shows you more on your journey than he does before you start.' So I encourage everyone you may not know where you're going, but God is your mapquest he won't steer you wrong. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."
It is written that the anointing of Romans 12:11 shall continually reign over you and all that you do.
GOD is inspiring many people, and he is getting the glory through your duties as a humble servant of GOD. I see the things that GOD wants to be revealed, HE directs our paths through righteousness. We just have to be obedient and willing to allow him to use us as an whole body of Christ.
