God’s plans for our lives
1 Chronicles 15 v 2 Then David said, “None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites, for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God and to minister unto Him for ever.”
John 15 v 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Acts 15 v 25 it seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
God has a plan for our lives. He will show us this plan if we wait in prayer. We must seek to do the Lords will.
- How do we find this plan ?
- Reading the Bible every Day.
- Praying and waiting on the Lord
- The Lord will speak.
God Speaks through His Word. When we have the Word witnessed by our spirit This is often confirmed. That is the same Word comes in another way. Through a tract or hearing a preacher or by the Holy Spirit. You may have a dream or a vision. Or your heart is burdened.
The circumstance of your life will also be in accord with the Word.
- You will have peace in your heart.
- You will have the “witness of the Spirit “.
- The Spirit witnesses with our Spirit that we are children of God.
- These are works of guided and prompted by the Holy Spirit
For Paul Gods had planned suffering!!!

Acts 22 v 10 And I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said unto me, ‘Arise and go into Damascus, and there it shall be told thee of all the things which are appointed for thee to do.’

God had planned to make him King
God shows Samuel the prophet that “This is He”

Jesus; for Thou loved Me before the foundation of the world. John 17 v 24
