Feast 2 - Truelife Church By: Pastor Steve

1. John 4:34-38, Matthew 7:21-24, I Thessalonians 5:18

2.  That which is desired, the gracious design, a
deliberate design, that which is purposed
 Deliberate exercise of that which is desired

3.  The first step in understanding the will of
God is to understand PURPOSE – Proverbs
29:18
 Vision- a redemptive revelation of your
purpose-this is what I was made for
 Redemptive – to save from error or evil
 When that vision is not present there is
destruction, aimlessness, passivity, lack of
care and compassion

4.  Low calling- the platform, the achievement
and accomplishment on the earth that gives
you the opportunity to know and fulfill your
high calling
 It is asking the question of “Why” did God
put me here that heads you toward
understanding purpose

5.  Philippians 3:12-15, Genesis 50:20
 Maturity- when you understand the purpose of
your platform, your breakthrough, and start
living in the purpose
 When Jesus saved you there was something in
His mind as to why He saved you
 High calling is the purpose of God for whatever
He has given to you
 When we celebrate blessings, promotion and
achievements without discovering the purpose
for it we exhibit the mark of childesness

6.  Our high calling harnesses to His
predetermined purpose
 3:14 Prize-an award given to the victor
 I Corinthians 9:24

7.  It is not His will that anyone should perish
Matthew 18:14
 There is a new level of family found in doing
His pleasure, His desire, His will Mark 3:35
 Righteousness is pursuing God’s agenda, with a
commitment to act on His divine instructions.
This is how Jesus determines justice John 5:30
 God removed Saul and raised up David not
because of behavior but because of the intent
of David’s heart was to do His will

8.  Captivity is defined by not being allowed to
function in your design or in the desire of
the one who gave you purpose and design 2
Timothy 2:26
 When captive we can become distracted
from truth and our spiritual senses don’t
work and God’s will in us is not
accomplished

9.  What is the seed that brings you into the right season
and into a harvest?
 His will is the seed. Our will dies out and His seed of
faith bursts forth
 Good things happening are not luck but being in His
will brings us into the fullness of His timing, in the
right place
 The seed of His will has our destiny written on it
 The destiny cannot be released until the seed has
allowed itself to be planted Psalms 1

10.  I Thessalonians 5:16-17
1. Rejoice always
2. Pray without ceasing
3. In everything give thanks
