Purpose

Isaiah 61:1 1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.

This is the Bible verse that speaks to my purpose here on this earth.

My name means to reflect the light of Jesus.

My purpose statement is: "I am to honor and walk with God. To walk in the giftings that He has given me. To heal the sick in body, soul and spirit. To bring healing to the church through the laying on of hands, the prophetic, and with spiritual eyes. I will walk in my uniqueness, making disciples and following my God with obedience to His calling.."

I pretty well knew what my purpose was, but, I did take a class at my church that help you to find your purpose. I now help out with this class & have seen many women find freedom & purpose through it.

When I first became a Christian, I was concerned about my gifts. Not really knowing they were gifts, because of their uniqueness. I have been called, by other Christians, a witch, lead by Satan, a demon chaser & physic. None are true. But, this did catch me off guard & cause me to second guess what was really happening to me.

I have come to a place of peace. I know what God is doing with me & for me. Purpose is important to the life of a Christian. It gives you vision & goals. The Word of God says that we are to make converts. I was concerned with this, thinking, that is not something that I do. I have brought some to the Lord, but, that is not were I seem to be focused. Then God showed me that I was bringing people to Him. His children that were lacking in faith, who were held in bondage or were walking a fine line. I am humbled by God. Still not understanding why He uses me nor blesses me. For I am the "Chief of sinners."

I'm 40 years old and I still don't understand my purpose... I'm beginning to think my only purpose is raising Isaiah, teaching him... Or is that my self-given purpose? It's very confusing to me...

I'm enjoying your posts, by the way... Thank you!
