HUMAN RESOURCES FOR DESTINY

11/28/2023

 "Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city." 

One of the important revelations of the Spirit to you is who your tribe members are. What do I mean by this? I mean, the people you ought to be associated with to actualize God's call on your life. Until you meet these people who are connected to you by destiny, you will lack the spiritual synergy to do the things that God has placed in your heart to accomplish. For some, these people may already be in your social orbit, but if you don't recognize them, then accomplishing God's assignment becomes impossible. Mary had Elizabeth (see Luke 1:39-45), Jesus had John (see Matthew 3:13-17), and many others have had those that they recognized by the Spirit as God's human resource for destiny. 

One way God reveals these people is through the honor they demonstrate towards you and the honor they elicit from you. Honor is the signature of divine connection, so pay attention to honor and protect honor within these destiny circles. "So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him" ( 1 Kings 19:19). If you pay attention, this honorable encounter between Elijah and Elisha was a prophetic announcement of the latter's destiny. Hallelujah! Next is divine utterance. These people will say things that impact your sense of destiny and achievement. It may be in regular conversational comments or a specific word from the Lord. Either way, you will sense God's presence in their speech. "And John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit" (John 1:32-33). Lastly, there will be an attraction that is celebratory or joyful in nature. "And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit" (Luke 1:41). These people are almost always joyful or celebratory by your presence. As a word of caution, people sent by hell to distract you from destiny will have similar traits, but the only difference is that the fruit of their qualities will be unto sin and rebellion against God. They will use flattery in place of honor; perverted truth instead of destiny-oriented truth, and the attraction between you and them will always be carnal. 

 Let a word be enough for the wise. 

 Faith-Filled Confession:

 I am acutely aware of people whom God has provided to me for the fulfillment of destiny. I am sensitive and wise to deploy the gifts of God to and with them for the overall glory of God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
