Warrior for Christ: Identity and Purpose

Welcome to today's episode of Reflective Hour with Tammy Toney-Butler. I'm your host, but we all know the host of this show is, and that's Christ, by way of His Holy Spirit, His Spirit of Truth. Holy Spirit, come have Your way in this hour. Guide us into all truth. May they see You, Jesus. May the words spoken edify, build up, strengthen, encourage. and help them to walk as ambassadors of the kingdom of God in Your power and in Your authority, walking in identity and purpose, walking in the light of Your truth with the power to transform, to restore, to redeem, to change. Thank you, Jesus. In Your mighty Name, we pray and declare all things. Amen. How many of you doubt your purpose? How many of you doubt your calling? How many of you wonder when that moment's going to come? That moment of breakthrough. That moment where you step into all God has for you. and into the fullness of the promise spoken over your life. How many of you struggle with the cares of this world? With the deceptive punches that Satan throws each day to try to derail you, get you off course, deceive you. Deception is a weapon that the devil uses to try to get us misaligned with the will of God. Say yes to an opportunity that's not of God or say no to one that is because it doesn't look like It's a door. It looks like anything but a door. But yet, you have no peace in your spirit if you don't go to it. Go to that meeting. Even if it's a virtual meeting. Something inside you is saying, I don't know why. but I have to entertain this request. I need to answer back this message. Text this person back and say, yes, I'll meet with you. You never know when a meeting is going to change your life, change your ministry. help you step into who God's called you to be and walk in the promise, walk in the purpose, walk in the fulfillment of all he has for you. You never know what that's going to come dressed like, what that's going to come, how it's going to be packaged, what it's going to look like. So be very careful in this season that you don't judge, that you say, Lord, Whatever it is, I want what you want for me. I want what you have for me. Nevertheless, not my will be done, but yours, oh God. Help me to say no to doors that are not of you and say yes to opportunities that are. Close any door not of you, God, and open wide the door that is. Protect me from me, God. Help me to say yes to the opportunities that you have for me. Give me no peace in my spirit until I carry out that request. Go to that meeting. Say yes to that opportunity. Or I say no. Bring back the peace that was taken from me. When I said a premature yes and didn't pray about it first. I didn't take time to be still. and seek you seek first the kingdom of god and all else shall be given unto you in this season of great deception we must rely on the power of prayer as a weapon as a tool praying in the spirit seeking god's will above all else getting alone in that secret place and saying, Lord, I trust you. I trust your timing. I trust you. I want what you have for me. I know that you'll protect me, guide me, strengthen me. I know that that door that's mine, no one else can walk through and I can rest assured that that you've gone before and prepared the way and prepared the heart of that person, that person to reach out, that destiny helper. I know you're with me. I know you'll never leave me nor forsake me. And I trust you because I know whose I am. I know that I was made for more. And I know that breakthrough is imminent. Delivery is imminent. And I trust you. I praise you. I worship you, God. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The God of our precious Lord Jesus Christ. I worship you. I draw strength from you and from your word. Through Isaiah forty thirty-one. Through Psalm ninety-one. Jeremiah twenty-nine eleven. I draw strength from you. And I refuse to be distracted this season. I refuse to cater to fear. I refuse doubt. I refuse unbelief. I know by your stripes ye were healed and I have been healed. I will not doubt it. I will not walk away from it. I'll grab hold of that promise and I'll run to that doctor. I'll run for that x-ray. I'll run for that MRI because I know that it's going to show that I am completely healed and restored in Christ Jesus by the blood of Jesus shed on Calvary. And this season, I'm going to walk in my true identity as a kingdom ambassador of hope, of peace, of praise, of worship. I'm going to be a light in a dark world. a voice for the voiceless. And it's through your power, your power working in and through me that others will be restored. I trust you. I love you. I surrender to you, Father. You're a good father, and I trust you. I trust you. I trust you to deliver me. Deliver me out of this debt. Deliver me out of this sickness. Deliver me out of this isolation, this loneliness, this depression that tries to creep in. I trust you God to bring the finances, the money that I need to carry out your mission to carry out all the things that you've asked me to do for the kingdom of God. And I know that today is the day that I inherit the promise. Today is a day that I step into the fullness of all that you have for me. Today is a day that I embrace the call that you've placed on my life and not one person will ever stop me or talk me out of all that you have for me. Because today I step out into my identity. I step out and I claim it. I claim everything you have for me. I claim it this day. And I arise victorious in Christ Jesus. And I call down from heaven every blessing. Every word spoken. And I know the latter rain is great. And I know that I walk. and all you have for me and everything that the locust stole, the canker worm, the palmer worm, I get it all back. Today is my day. Today's your day. Trust it. Believe it. Walk in your identity and kingdom purpose and refuse to quit. Fight the good fight of faith. Step out in faith and watch what God does. He'll move heaven on your behalf. That mountain will move right in front of you. You speak to it and it'll move. He's moving on your behalf right now. Trust Him. Trust Him. Trust Him. Trust Him. And that's what He has for you today. Trust Him. Trust him. Praise Him. Worship Him. Sing praises to His holy Name. Sing praises and walk by faith and not by sight. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus.
