What's My Purpose?


Have you ever asked the question, “What is the purpose for my life?” Do you know why you were born and why you exist? There are numbers of people throughout the world that go through life without ever really finding or understanding their purpose. They eat, sleep, and just try to survive. Hopefully they will be able to please the god they worship enough that they will go to heaven or some paradise when they die.

The Bible teaches that life has greater meaning than just eating, sleeping, and hopefully discovering after we die if there is an afterlife. In Genesis 1:26 we learn that humanity was made in the image and likeness of God."

The Bible reveals that we were created to worship and to have fellowship with a living God, but a sad set of circumstances prevailed. In Genesis 3 we learn of man's sin that brought about a separation from God.

The Bible tells us in the New Testament book of Romans that we are all born as sinners and separated from God. We don't know Him nor are we able to have fellowship with God.

Most religions never enable us to find our true purpose. Religion tells us that if we will do certain deeds and subscribe to certain teachings that we might earn a place in heaven or some kind of paradise. Multitudes who subscribe to these teachings go through life without much meaning or purpose. They live with little expectancy and little hope.

Do you want to be different than those without any hope? Then you must come to know Jesus. The Lord Jesus Christ came to this earth to be a bridge that spanned the gulf that separated sinful humanity from a loving God. The Bible reveals in John 1:12, "But as many as receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe of His name."

The way to discover your purpose and to live a life of real meaning is simply to know the Lord Jesus Christ. God has made provision for us to know His eternal Son. Romans 10:9-10 gives these simple instructions: "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." "For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation."


Would you like to know Christ as Lord and receive Him as your Savior?  Then pray this prayer: “Lord Jesus, I confess my sins to you and ask you to forgive them. Please come into my heart and become Lord of my life. I promise to serve you and to live for you as you give me strength.”

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Shout of a King is Among Them

Numbers 23:21 - “He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord his God  is  with him, And the shout of a King  is  among them.” In this passage of Scripture, the king of Moab had hired the prophet Balaam to speak a curse over the children of Israel.   He saw Israel as a threat to his kingdom.   Numbers 22:2-3 – “Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.” When the enemy sees the people of God rising up in faith, he becomes very concerned and moves to keep us from fulfilling our assignment.   We learn in Numbers, Balaam could only speak what the Lord gave him to speak.   Instead of a curse he speaks a blessing. The enemy seeks our destruction, but God!   Listen to the conversation between God and Satan in ...

They Turned Back in the Day of Battle

Psalms 78:9 – “ “The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.”             Ephraim was the younger of two sons of Joseph.   His first born was Manasseh.   It was Ephraim that received the blessing of Jacob.   The tribe of Ephraim became the largest of the ten northern tribes of Israel.   Many times the Bible used the name Ephraim to represent the whole nation of Israel.             In verse 9 they are armed and carrying bows.   They are dressed, equipped, and ready to battle.   Yet we learn that they turned back in the day of battle.   The Bible identifies this as sin.   To turn back in the day of battle was displeasing to God.               To be armed meant that they were equipped with armor, a sword, and a shield. ...
