      Birthing Your Destiny - Dr. Shirley K. Clark

      Pattern

      Chapter 1

      Principles of Birthing

      Principle One: Birthing is a Kingdom Principle

      When we talk about birthing a destiny, the first thing we need to know is that birthing is a kingdom principle. It is a principle that originated from God. God always does things based on principle. When God wanted to make a change in the universe, the first thing He did was get in a birthing position. Genesis 1:2 says, And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOVED UPON THE FACE OF THE WATERS.

      Spirit of God moved upon – means to hover or brood like a bird over its young, to warm them, and develop their vital powers. Deuteronomy 32:11, says, As a eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wing.

      The word, brooding in the commentary denotes a work in the actual process of accomplishment. It is a force that causes a reorganization of things. So looking at all of this, then if change is to be initiated, then being in the birthing position is the desired posture.

      Principle Two: We Are All Birthed Out of Something

      In Dr. Walter Fletcher’s book, Recovering the Soul, it says, To a certain degree we are all shaped by the cultural norms and values in which we are born. This may be a good thing, or it may be a hard shell we have to break out of in order to find our own identity and purpose. This is so true. Because whether you were reared in an African-American family or an Asian-American family; whether you were from a Catholic or Pentecostal background or whether you were surrounded by negative or positive influences growing up, you were birthed out of something.

      And whatever that something was or is, has defined your present and might possibly shape your future. The reason I said might possibly shape your future is because your future is yet to be defined. Remember, you can’t change your past, but you can change your future. But whatever choices you make today, will define your future. The key here, however, your past does not have to equate to your future.

      Because someone had a horrible past, does not

      negate them

      from having a successful

      future.

      Some of the things many in the body of Christ have encountered in their past have been horrendous. However, because someone had a horrible past, does not negate them from having a successful future. We all have to reconcile with our past and/or come to peace with it if we are going to obtain our God ordained destiny. So your past is never an indication of your future. I believe the best way perhaps; to state this is, how you process your past will determine your future.

      Mentoring is another form of being birthed out of or from something. It is a father-son, mother-daughter, and teacher-student relationship. How a mentor trains a person can affect the actions or responses of that person. Also, your identity is formed based on what you have been birthed out of as well.

      Principle Three: Every Person, Place or Thing has a Destiny

      God created all things, and all things were created for and with a purpose. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether by thrones, or dominions, or principalities or powers; all things were created by him, and for him.

      God is a God of purpose. Because of this everything that exists has a defined destination. You have a fixed purpose and destiny. In Rick Warren’s book, The Purpose Driven Life, it says, The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment.² God has
