Prophecy Is To Help Us Determine Our Purpose And Destiny

Since, God has created man in His own image, only He knows what we are capable of doing. And because God is the master planner, He has created each individual with his or her own special talents. There is a reason for uniqueness. God has an eternal plan for every individual that is born on this earth. The world is like a giant jigsaw puzzle and we are the pieces to be joined together. Now since we are His creation, wouldn't it make sense for us to hear from our Maker on what we should do with our lives? Wouldn't life be a little easier when we have specific instructions along the way? Of course it would. One of the primary reasons that we should hear from God is for our purpose and our destiny. That is exactly why He sends His prophets into our lives to begin and to end seasons, and also to speak to our future. Then in the interim we have the logos word, which is the Bible. (And of course you know that the Bible is our Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth). There are also the gifts of the Spirit, mainly the gifts of utterance and the gifts of revelation. Saints, it would be foolish in these last days to deny and to quench the operation of the gifts of the Spirit. The Apostle Paul admonishes us in 1st Corinthians chapter 12 and the 1st verse to not be ignorant of spiritual gifts. We the church, are to be well aware of and in fact flowing in the gifts of the Spirit. In 1 Thessalonians 5:19-20 we are commanded to "Quench not the Spirit" and to "Despise not prophesyings." This life that we lead is a college course of our destiny, and our professor is God. He has given us our textbook that we should learn thoroughly. But the textbook <em>is</em> available to the general public. Because He is the author, He is the best teacher on the subject. And He has the strategies available to make the best use of His textbook.

Jeremiah 33:3 reads: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. So we need to challenge ourselves into seeing what new insight He wants to give us about ourselves.
