Predetermined Passion.....

What is your predetermined passion?   What is it that you have made up in your mind that you are going to be passionate about?   What are those things that you have decided that you are going to pursue?   Are those things related to the fire that God has placed within you .... or are they a result of your own predetermined plan?

How often do we sit around and think and decide what we are going to do and exactly how we are going to do it?   We determine based on our past experience ..... what our future will be.    We determine based on past relationships what we want our next relationship to be.....and so it is with the other areas of our life.   We try to plan and determine our future outcomes based on our past experience.    When God is trying to use our past experience to be what guides us to His perfect plan.   

How often do you make up in your mind ....... "this is how it will work out next time.....if I do this, this, and this"?    How often does it really work that way?   That's because it is not based on what you decide for your own life.   How you have determined it to be.   The thing that you are passionate about ..... unless it is a passion for the things of God usually doesn't work out the way you thought it would.

God wants us to be passionate about Him......about His people.....about His plan.   He wants the fire inside of us to be the one that He ignites.   He wants the pursuit to be after Him and not our own plan or the things we have allowed our flesh to determine for us.   Our own selfish wants and desires.      

Stop trying to work it all out all by yourself.    In most cases that will only lead to greater disappointment.   Any plan that does not include God's purpose.....will ultimately not be fulfilled to the fullest.    We are at a time now where the path is coming closer to an end.   When you get to the end of a path.....there are less "alternate routes".   Less opportunities to stray ..... to do our own thing.   Time is important....."timing" is imperative.   

The people.....the places......the things that are on your path......God has set there for a reason.    They are waiting ....... waiting to be a part of what God has predetermined for "your" life.     To help you fulfill divine purpose and not self or "selfish" decisions.  

Let your passion be that you are "passionate" about God.   Let your predetermination be that you will follw Him no matter what.    Let your focus be to stay where He has placed you and not to determine your own way to try to get to your own end result.  

The whole purpose for you being in the earth is to magnify who He is.    We magnify Him through what we do.....what we say.....how we act.....and how we react.......

So.....if you have to predetermine something in your life today......let it be to pursue God.    Let God be the end result of everything you do today.....whether it be for yourself or for someone else.    Let your passion be that you are "passionate" about your Lord, your King, and your Savior.   The one who died for you.....so that you could live for Him.    Let it be that the one thing that you predetermine to do is to be passionate about Him.

It's not an easy thing to do.   But whoever said life would be easy.    There is one requirement in this life that we all should do ......and that requirement is to receive Jesus and to die to self......so that you can truly live in Him.......
