Set Apart for Purpose

The Minute you become the exception is the minute that you stand out — and you become the target of ill-repute, because the opposing (oppressing) forces of your time will come after you and seek to discourage, dishonor, discredit, subdue, and hinder you; they may even capture and torture you—mentally, emotionally, and/or physically, but God gives you the power to be steadfast, unmovable, invincible, even the remarkable ability to rise, and rise, again and again, despite the adversity…because he is your shield, your buckler, your strong tower, your font of living water that never will run dry, and He will hide you in the shelter of His tabernacle, under the Shadow of the Almighty, until the set time in Zion when the call of the deep becomes the echoing sound in the wild, and the song of the south the echoing sound of the north—and all the forces of nature unite, to show Himself mighty-show himself strong…as the encompassing circumference of power and protection in your circle of life, governing all the spheres of influence, effects, and affects – and the steadfast power of persuasion, that keeps you centered in peace and focused on purpose, because it is His good pleasure to give you the keys to the kingdom, therefore, no good thing would he withhold from you…but, yes, he will be your shield, your buckler, and able defender…so the annals of life will not be your guiding light, but your benchmark…and sometimes you’ll need to come up higher, and sometimes lie low, advance forward, or stand still…but whatever position God has you in, it’s not to your detriment but for your good – and for the betterment of HIS purpose that being made manifest within the scope of your authority in your sphere of your influence…So, no, it’s not without regard, but with great intent that God has appointed you unto said purpose…Don’t abhor it. Cherish it!

“Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God…  Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.  For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore, it says, “Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Ephesians 5:1- 2 &11-14 (ESV)
