In Psalm 83, the enemy makes his plan plain: "Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession."
And what has God always loved? A people. A nation. A sanctuary. "Let them make Me a sanctuary."
From the very beginning, God desired a people He could dwell with. And from the very beginning, the enemy has desired to possess and ultimately destroy that.
The enemy wants to eliminate the reason God put you here. He wants to wipe out the assignment on your life. And here's why it's personal: Because your personal purpose doesn't exist in isolation.
It fits into something bigger. Not a denomination. Not a building. Not an institution. His Church. The blood-bought Church of Jesus Christ.
YOU are still here for a reason.
That issue, that tragedy... None of it was random. None of it was wasted. And none of it won. Because you're still here.
That is not luck.
That is purpose.

Get a new perspective. You’re not limited by who raised you. You’re not at a disadvantage. You are about to see the greatness in you come out. Get ready, you’re about to defy the odds.
There's a dream inside you. One you've never said out loud. Maybe you think it's too big. Too late. Too far from where you are right now.
But here's what God says: "I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out- plans to take care of you, not abandon you. Plans to give you the future you're hoping for." Jeremiah 29:11
So stop apologizing for it. Stop shrinking it. Stop waiting until it "makes sense" to someone else. Just chill out — and let Him work.
What if you could see people the way God sees them?
The pain you went through? The problems that should have ended you? The hell you survived that you don't talk about? That was preparation for every person you're about to encounter who needs someone who gets it.
Make a decision today- not just to be saved, but to be sent. Not just to know God, but to carry Him into every room you enter.

You've been in the dry season so long you almost stopped expecting the rain. I've been there. Keep expecting... I declare the floodgates of heaven are being opened for you! It is harvest time!
