    Discovering Your Destiny - Dr. Shirley K. Clark

    Prophecy

    Chapter One

    Your Destiny Awaits You

    The foundations of most Christian belief systems rest upon the basic concepts of the ultimate intentions and purpose of God. Therefore, fulfilling of any future advent of prophecy that relates to our lives will always germinate from the womb or mind of God. Whatever God needs, he supplies it. Whatever God asks for, He answers it. Whatever God demands, He commissions it.

    Prophecy is imminent. Throughout scripture when prophecy was used as a means to communicate the plan of God for an individual, there was stimulation of provocation. The prophecy would release a chain of reactions in both, the spirit and cosmic world that would lend itself to the fulfilling of it.

    Often people look for deliverance to come from the outside or from external factors when going through adversity, but God has already placed a way of escape within our bowels.

    When we talk about God having a purpose and destiny for an individual’s life, we are saying that God has predetermined a certain thing to happen. There is a motion of unknown occurrences for it to happen. And it is this unknown thing that often attracts unsolicited warfare and opposition in our lives. But just as it attracts adversity, the power to deliver is within it also. I heard Bishop T. D. Jakes, who is a renowned international speaker; say it this way, God will deliver you through the thing you birth. The life of Moses is evidence of this. Moses’ mother never conceived that the thing she was carrying inside of her was going to be the thing that would deliver her.

    Often people look for deliverance to come from the outside or from external factors when going through adversity, but God has already placed a way of escape within our bowels. Our deliverance is within our belly. It is within our destiny. Concepts, dreams and ideas are conceived within, not without. And because of this, the greatness of God is constantly kicking within us to be delivered.

    Seeds of greatness

    When we are born, seeds of greatness are placed within us from God.³ God starts us all out with the necessary ingredients within us to succeed. Zig Ziglar says it this way in his book, See You At The Top. Man was designed for accomplishment, engineered for success and endowed with the seeds of greatness. But it is what we do with these seeds that determine our outcome. He also says we are born to win. However, if the seeds are not nurtured properly; then, most likely, there will be a measure of deformity or delay. This does not, however, negate the plan of God for your life, but it certainly weighs on the process. We are solely responsible for how the seed is developed in our lives. Listen: It is said that the average person goes to his grave with the music still inside him.

    Conflicts within are also obstructions to releasing greatness in our lives. When things are in harmony on the inside, we can make great connections with destiny on the outside. By becoming congruent on the inside, we can experience a connection on the outside where we enter into the flow of destiny that God intended for us.⁴ In the cycle of life connections are constantly being made that pulls us toward our destiny and purpose in God. It is a series of ongoing prophetic encounters.

    If you were to consider for a moment the chain of events that led you to the life you are living right now, you would see where all the dots are connected. And how one thing led to another and another until we arrive at the moment we call – now. Some of us might not be happy with where we are now or better yet, we hear a voice within us calling and compelling us to go another place -- to take another path. Even though we might not have a clear understanding of this new way or new path, God will lead us by His Spirit into that which He has preordained for us. Remember, the Bible says the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord (Psalm 37:23).

    Have you ever felt compelled to do something that seemed somewhat asinine or just plain silly? Everything about these actions seems inconsequential. The Bible says God takes the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. It is times in our lives like this that this scripture rings true. What we don’t know in most of these uncertain instances is that divinity is still at work. God is divinely nudging and leading us to take a specific action because He will use this action as a spring board to get us to our next specific moment.

    Divine connections are one of the core principles to us receiving our destiny…they are empowering agents.

    Divine connections

    These actions are not some random chances of fate, but they are divine connections that God has arranged for our lives. It is God that causes us to connect with people that link us to our next stage in our destiny. Whether they unintentionally share something with us that might seem minute and mundane, the connection can be the very key to our
