Old Dog V
Field Of Purpose

Solomon wrote the key verse for us when we think of THE KINGDOM…
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven
We can easily acknowledge Times and Seasons because we are always going through them. Yet when we confront the reality of exactly what ABBA’S PURPOSE is in regards to the ‘stuff’ we are going through we are often mystified, befuddled, and clueless when we realize that the whole issue of FAITH needs to step in and activate us. To walk in faith and not sight is perception of the ‘deeper things’ of our GOD, to begin to ”see” in and with the fullness of our empowered spiritman and to disregard our ‘old man’.
There is a passage in JOB that seems to speak about dreams and visions and how GOD speaks to man. Only there is more to it…
Job 33
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man
18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword
To perceive what GOD desires to impart is something man does not easily or naturally do. Yet the knowing of GOD’S PURPOSE can lead to pride and the second death if GOD does not intervene. Such is the danger of the life not in perfect BALANCE with the WILL of GOD. So, balance in our vision is based on all our FIELDS of Vision BALANCED in HIS MOST HOLY SPIRIT. This allows us to PERCEIVE GOD’S PURPOSE, and each of us have purposes within HIS KINGDOM as unique, specific, and focused as we are in HIS EYES.
But what is that purpose….there are a couple of possibilities…..ponder where you fit and where you are used…
Proverbs 20:18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
Ecclesiastes 3:17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work
Isaiah 14
25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations
27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back
Jeremiah 51
29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant
Romans 8
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us
Romans 9
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Our purpose of JUDGING PROPHECY is to destroy the works of the enemy. In fact, we are called to judge everything placed upon the table before us, preaching or teaching, song or psalm, poetry or prose by HIS MOST HOLY AND PRECIOUS SPIRIT that has slowly, surely been walking each of us through these FIELDS so we may see as HE HAS DECLARED for us to see…….. WITH HIS EYES. Walking together.
