Purpose by Pastor Rod Parsley

Purpose Because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. James 1:3 Have you ever asked yourself why the devil is always picking on you? One fact to consider is that Satan only attacks believers-why would he waste time on people who don't follow God? But let's go a step further and think about God's purpose. Could it be because God is refining you and developing the fruit of the Spirit in you (Galatians 5:22-23)? Nothing is wasted or without purpose in Him. God uses our mistakes to teach, to correct and to help us grow. Almighty God seizes every opportunity to direct us in His ways...if we are willing and if we obey. When your home is attacked, choose to fill it with the faith-filled Word of God-walk in your God-given authority. When change does not happen quickly, stand firm in your faith in Jesus and watch things turn around. When you operate in faith and authority, Satan can't continue his work of discord, disharmony, hatred and confusion. All the other schemes and tactics of the enemy become "null and void" because of the provisions of the cross (Galatians 3:13). God's ultimate purpose is your success and victory.
