(Listen-Song)
Last week, we discussed returning to the foundational purpose of the Church in general, and Everlasting Covenant, specifically. The attempts in these end times to keep the Word of God from the people, has impacted the discovery of personal purpose as well. If you want to know your purpose, it can be found in the Word of God. You must find in the Word the destiny that was specifically created in you. His Word lights the path of our personal purpose. Personal destiny, or purpose, is a creative work of God, and He creates nothing without speaking His Word first. Your birth was not an accident of chance, but it was purposefully brought forth in the creative work and will of God by His word:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." Jn. 1:1-4, 14
In Genesis, everything created was created by the Word of God. That Word of God is also a Person. As Rev. 19:13 describes the return of Christ, the Word who became flesh is revealed again:
"And he was clothed in a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God."
As the Word, and of the Word, Jesus was incorporated with His personal purpose:
"...his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds...upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;" Heb. 1:3
As with Christ, this same Word of God which created each of us, is imbued with the purpose in which we were designed. The Word speaks, and it is done.
Peter also wrote of how the Word shaped creation. Speaking of scoffers, even as if he were describing those today who deny God's hand in creation, he said:

Peter also wrote of how the Word shaped creation. Speaking of scoffers, even as if he were describing those today who deny God's hand in creation, he said:
"For this they are willingly ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water." 2 Pet. 3:5
Paul said in Hebrews:
"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed (rendered, repaired, completed, perfected, put in order, make one what he ought to be. Root meaning: having "special aptitude in given uses") by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Heb. 11:3
Everything we see was made of what cannot be seen. The framing of the physical creation, which includes each person, also included a perfected and completed purpose, according to the very meaning of the word.
The Word of God that created all things is living itself, powerful, and discerning of every individual. It permeates our very deepest physical and spiritual being:
"For the word of God is quick (among the living, alive, breathing (Ps. 33:6), active), and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do." Heb. 4:12-13
Psalm 119, all of which extols the greatness of God's Word, tells us that this same Word with which all things were created, is designed to play a personal role in each life:
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." v. 105
Do you or your path need to change? The Word of God opens the door to change us individually as it enters us. It renews our minds and transforms us because it is living (Rom. 12:1-2):
"The entrance (unfolding, doorway, declaration) of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple." v.130
The Word is monumental in scope regarding creation. It is so great, that the LORD has magnified His word even above His name (Ps. 138:1-2). Yet it is also personal and intimate in effectiveness down to the smallest particle of our being. So important is it that the LORD keeps watch over His Word, including the Word regarding our purpose, in order to perform it (Jer. 1:12). The LORD compared His Word to the rain and snow that falls from heaven in order to accomplish a purpose: to water the earth, and produce a resulting seed and crop. The Word is sent with a purpose to accomplish:
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
Isa. 55:11
If you are searching for your personal purpose, and searching for the right path of life to travel, the Word of God has been prepared to light your way.
