Many people have read The Purpose Driven Life. Although I
have not read the book, I know that the author, Rick Warren,
recommends writing out the purpose that God has revealed to them
for their lives.
In March of 2003, I sat down to put down in writing the
purpose I believe God has called me to. I hope it gives you some
ideas for the purpose god has designed for your life, and helps
you better understand the purpose of my website.
1. The purpose of Jesus coming to earth: Defeat the Works of
the Devil (1 John 3:8)
2. The purpose of Believers: To Do Good Works prepared
beforehand. (Eph. 2:10)
3. How Do I Draw Strength: Through Him who strengthens me.
(Phil 4:13)
4. How does God provide strength: Through the Body of Christ
(body of believers - II Cor. 11:8-9)
5. What is the state of this present age? Spiritual warfare
(Eph. 6:12)
6. What is my only weapon: The Sword of the Spirit, which is
the Word of God (Eph. 6:17)
7. What is my model as a Warrior for Christ: To be like the
Sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge
of what Israel should do (I. Chronicles, 12:32)
8. What is God training me to do? He trains may hands for
war, so that my arms may bend a bow of bronze. (Ps. 18:34)
9. How do I bend the Bow of Bronze? Not with strength of
arms, but with God’s Agape love. (I Cor. 13)
10. What is my specific bow – my specific purpose? To Make
knowledge of God acceptable, and train warriors for Christ.
(Prov. 15:2, John 8:31-32 and Eph. 4:14-16)
