This document discusses several "heavenly books" mentioned in the Bible, including the Book of Genealogy in Genesis that lists Adam's descendants, the Book of Life that God keeps track of whose names are written in, and the Book of the Law/Covenant that contained God's commands for Israel. It suggests that these books point to an individual destiny for each believer according to God's purpose before the world was created. The document urges Christians to wage spiritual warfare through praise, God's armor, and bringing every thought into obedience to Christ to fulfill their destiny.

Lord his God and be careful to observe

8. Book on Our Destiny
The Psalmist saw it…
• Ps 139: 16 Your eyes saw my
substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all
were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of
them.

thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
Isa Prophesied…
• Isa 34:16 “Search from the
book of the LORD, and read:
Not one of these shall fail;
Not one shall lack her mate.
For My mouth has commanded
it, and His Spirit has gathered
them. 17He has cast the lot for
them,
And His hand has divided it
among them with a measuring
line.
They shall possess it forever;
From generation to
generation they shall dwell in
it.

Our destiny
• 2 Tim 1:9 Who hath saved us,

purpose and grace, which was
given us in Christ Jesus before
the world began,
The Lord charged us in the last days
• Mk 13:34 It is like a man going
to a far country, who left his
house …and gave authority
to his servants,
…and to each his work,
…and commanded the
doorkeeper to watch.

10. Book of Wars
Israel conquests
• Num 14:13 From there they moved
and camped on the other side
of the Arnon, which is in the

Amorites. 14 Therefore it is said
in the Book of the Wars of
the LORD:…
What war does the Lord wants us to
wage today?
• 2 Cor 10:3 For though we walk in
the flesh, we do not war
according to the flesh. 4 For the
weapons of our
warfare are not carnal
but mighty in God for pulling

down arguments and every
high thing that exalts itself
against the knowledge of
God, bringing every thought
into captivity to the obedience
of Christ,

that you may be able to
stand against the wiles of
the devil.
