Speaker 1: Good morning or good afternoon or evening, wherever you could be.
Speaker 1: We are in a wonderful season, getting to the last and final weeks, the month of December, and it's a wonderful time just to focus on empowered destiny.
Speaker 1: Empowered destiny, predetermined purpose that displays God's goodness.
Speaker 1: We are sharing about a predetermined purpose that displays God's goodness and in the season of December, we are just being grateful to God for His goodness to us and for the way he has kept and watched over us.
Speaker 1: I'm sharing from Jeremiah 29-11 and I'll be focusing on three things Number one, god's divine plan.
Speaker 1: Number two, god's divine purpose.
Speaker 1: And number three, god's divine projection.
Speaker 1: We are looking at predetermined purpose that displays God's goodness.
Speaker 1: And in looking at God's divine plan from Jeremiah 11, the Bible says I know the plans I have for you, declare the Lord.
Speaker 1: Plans to prosper you and not harm you.
Speaker 1: Plans to give you a hope and a future.
Speaker 1: God's plan for us is good.
Speaker 1: God is good all the time and all the time he is doing good, even when it doesn't seem to be so.
Speaker 1: All things Romans 8-28, work together for our good.
Speaker 1: Therefore, god is working good for you.
Speaker 1: I know the economy can be challenging.
Speaker 1: We are talking about very difficult situations.
Speaker 1: We are talking about an inflation demandable digits.
Speaker 1: Petro prices are high and we could be feeling compressed in all ways.
Speaker 1: But we are saying God's divine plan for us is a good plan and His plan is to prosper us.
Speaker 1: Even in this season.
Speaker 1: God has a plan to prosper you.
Speaker 1: The Bible says in James 1, 17,.
Speaker 1: That every good and perfect gift comes from above, from the Father of heavenly life, in whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning.
Speaker 1: God is always good and he has good desires for you and therefore His divine plan is to do good to you.
Speaker 1: Number two God's divine purpose is to give you hope.
Speaker 1: I just talk about God's divine plan, but now I'm talking about God's divine purpose.
Speaker 1: God's divine purpose is to give you hope.
Speaker 1: Jeremiah 2, 9, 11 continues to say the plans that God has is to give you a hope and a future.
Speaker 1: But in this context, we are talking about hope.
Speaker 1: Some people are feeling hopeless situations difficult and, just like I mentioned earlier, there is hope in God.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if we didn't have hope?
Speaker 1: We will be in despair, we will be frustrated, we will be depressed.
Speaker 1: One of the things that we can find in God is hope, and in finding hope in God, jeremiah talks about that, about the plans of God to give us a hope.
Speaker 1: There is a hope in God.
Speaker 1: There is a good plan and there is a hope in God.
Speaker 1: Hebrews 11, 1 talks about faith.
Speaker 1: Faith is the substance of the things we hope for, the evidence of the things we do not see.
Speaker 1: We have to have hope and this hope is in God, because His plans are true, his purpose is true and he has a good plan for us.
Speaker 1: And, finally, god's divine projection.
Speaker 1: You see, god is looking at the future and he knows everything about your future.
Speaker 1: And in Jeremiah 29, 11, it continues to say that God's plan is good to give you hope and a future.
Speaker 1: There is a future in God.
Speaker 1: Remember, before you were formed.
Speaker 1: Jeremiah talks about Jeremiah, chapter 1, verse 5.
Speaker 1: Before you were formed, in our mother's womb, god knew us.
Speaker 1: In Psalm 139, verse 6, I think 6, it talks about I think 16, talks about the days of our lives are numbered.
Speaker 1: God has numbered our days.
Speaker 1: He knows the end from the beginning, since we were born.
Speaker 1: God knows about us.
Speaker 1: So our future in God is secured.
Speaker 1: And the writer is saying God has a future for you.
Speaker 1: There is a future for you in God.
Speaker 1: That is God's projection concerning you.
Speaker 1: So God has a good plan.
Speaker 1: His divine plan is good.
Speaker 1: His divine purpose is that you have hope and His divine projection is that there is a future you have in God.
Speaker 1: As you get into the week, I want you to get into the week with this understanding God has a divine plan, a divine purpose and a divine projection.
Speaker 1: May the Lord bless you and may you have a blessed week ahead.
