How You Fit into the Purposes
Everyone fits in our purpose. Once you were made in the image of God and willing to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Savior, we believe that you do not have to be clean before coming to Christ, but you come as you are, and God cleans you. The Church is a spiritual hospital; we believe you should be healed while in this hospital.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9).
Our purpose is connected to the plan of God. The Bible tells us that this is God’s plan – and it’s for every person on the planet, including you.
We can discover this plan by looking at the first-century Church. In the book of Acts, Jesus gave His followers the task of finishing what He began to do and teach. He tells them: “…you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
He tells them, “You’ll be my eyewitnesses. You’re the ones that have seen Me. You’re the ones that have heard Me. You’re going to experience my power. And you’re going to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8 is as accurate for us today as it was for them. We have received power. And the Holy Spirit is in us too. The issue isn’t whether or not we’re going to “witness for Him.” Each of us is a witness if we’re part of His family. Every believer is a full-time missionary bearing witness to Jesus’ supernatural life in them.
