How Do We Join God In Accomplishing His Purpose?

God’s Purpose Now: God Teaches Us How To Walk In Freedom

God’s purpose is to teach us in practical terms how to walk in this life in freedom from the influence of the world, our flesh and the devil.

What Hinders God’s Purpose Now?

Nothing! He will not let anything — our mind, our will or our emotions — stand in His way! Our soul, even our will, is not stronger than God.

How Do We Join God In Accomplishing His Purpose?

Learning to walk in the Spirit is not as hard as it is sometimes made out to be if we remember that God is the one doing the teaching. God Himself is providing everything we need to join Him in His purposes now.

Time and Attention

So is there anything we can do? First, we show up for class. This is sometimes so simple we forget to do it. God really only wants two things from us: our Time and our Attention. We usually don’t grumble (too much) when others make a claim on them, but somehow, perhaps because we don’t see a quick response, we have a hard time giving our time and attention to God. Second, we work on the assignments He gives us. This involves knowing what His ultimate agenda is.

Persistence

We also join in God’s purposes by sticking it out with Him. There will be many opportunities to settle for less, because good and better are always the greatest enemy of best.

Patient Purposefulness

Joining God as He works out His purposes in our lives enables us to rest and abide with confidence. When we know we’re on God’s side, we know the result is guaranteed and will be satisfying for both us and God, though it may be a hidden thing. We can face life’s guaranteed trials and tribulations with excitement, waiting to see what God is going to do, knowing that all is under His loving control.
