To Discover Purpose, Never Ask the Creation; Ask the Creator




Again, nobody knows a product and how it should work better than the one who made it. In the same way, the one who created the product is the best one to fix it when it has become marred.




When a potter works on a pot and sees that it has a flaw in it, the potter either remolds the clay and starts over, or if the pot already has been fired in an oven, the potter has to smash it and start over. Now, when the clay starts talking back to the potter, something is wrong. (See Isaiah 29:16.) The potter knows better than the pot how the pot should be fashioned. The pot can't say to the potter, "You shouldn't have made me this way," because the pot can't see the whole picture, the way the potter can. When it comes to the relationship between males and females and society's devaluation of women, we have too often murmured against the Potter rather than trying to understand how and why we were created.




Moreover, our substitutes for His master design are flawed. Some of us need to have our attitudes, perspectives, and lives remolded. A few of us have gone so far in the wrong direction that we may need a total overhaul. That is why the principles in this series are very serious and very awesome, but also very necessary for the restoration of humanity to God's purposes. The creation may not feel it has worth, but the creator knows what it is made of. So if you want to discover the purpose of something, never ask the creation; ask the one who made it. The creation might not think it has any worth, but the creator knows what it is made of. Many people do not think they have any worth or purpose. Yet the first chapter of our manuel tells us, “Yah saw all that he had made, and it was very good” (Genesis 1:31). There is something good in Yah’s creation, no matter how confused it looks to us. There is something good about every person, even though it may be hard to find. There is something good about everything Yah has made. We need to go to Him to find the good purposes for which He has made us. “For it is Yah who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose” (Philippians 2:13)




We Find Purpose Only In Our Maker




When we try to mend our relationships or change society using our own methods, we never totally succeed, and we often utterly fail. We fail because we are trying to bring about change for the wrong reasons and using the wrong methods. That is why we need to go back to the Manufacturer and receive His instructions for our lives. The only way for us to succeed is to discover and live in the purposes of our Maker, by undergoing a transformation in the way we think about ourselves as human beings.




Romans 12:1-2 encourage us to give ourselves to Yah so that we might receive His principles for living rather than conforming to this world’s pattern of living.




Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to Yah- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Yah’s will is- his good, pleasing and perfect will.




In other words, we are not to conform to this world’s opinions of humanity’s purpose but be transformed into Yah’s original intent in creation, so that we can live in peace with ourselves and others. We do this by presenting our bodies to Yah, so they can line up with His purpose for our bodies, and by presenting our minds to Him, so they can line up with His purpose for our minds. Our minds are to be transformed as they are renewed. Then we will truly be able to know what Yah’s will is- his good, pleasing and perfect will.”




Many of us don’t know Yah’s perfect purpose for our bodies. We’ve been abusing them- selling them cheaply, filling them with alcohol, drugs, nicotine, or too much food. We’ve been making a mess of our lives.




Our bodies are meant to be Yah’s temple. When you present your body to the Manufacturer, what does He do with it? He fills it with His own Spirit, so you can be filled with His life and purpose. “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from Yah? You are not your own” (1 Corinthians 6:19).




When you present your spirit to the Manufacturer, it becomes “the candle of The Most High” (Proverbs 20:27 KJV), an expression of the light of Yah. It is the same way when you present your mind and soul to your Maker. They are renewed by His Word, which is a light for your path (Psalm 119:105). David said in Psalm 19:7, “The law of The Most High is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of The Most High is sure, making wise the simple” (NKJV). Yah’s ways will transform your spirit, your mind, and your outlook. When you present yourself to Yah and learn from Him, you will understand His purpose.




Therefore, in order to pursue Yah’s purpose, you first must present yourself to Yah, so that you can know His perfect will. Then you will be transformed, so that you can do His perfect will. In this way, His good purposes will be fulfilled in you.




Yah’s Purpose Is the Key To Fulfillment




Since everything Yah created was intentional, we can conclude that the female, as well as the male, was created intentionally. Yah didn’t wonder why He made the woman or what her purpose should be after He created her. He was very clear about why He made this wonderful creation, and therefore we don’t have to guess about her, either. The female was created to help fulfill Yah’s eternal purpose. His eternal purpose is great, and within His larger purpose He has many smaller purposes. Both the female and the male are to discover their individual purposes, which are part of Yah’s larger plan.




Proverbs 19:21 is our foundational Scripture for understanding our true purpose as human beings: “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is The Most High’s purpose that prevails.” The key thoughts we’re addressing here are that Yah has a purpose for everything, and that He will always accomplish His purpose in the end. The best way to experience fulfillment in your life is to find Yah’s purpose and then work with Him to fulfill it.




In order for the woman truly to fulfill her purpose, she has to understand the purpose of Yah for humanity. In order for the man truly to fulfill his purpose, he has to understand the purpose of Yah for humanity. “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of Yah’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to Yah- this is your spiritual act of worship” (Romans 12:1). Becoming what He has purposed for us is an act of worship to our Creator.




Yah’s Ideal Purposes




The seven principles of purpose in this series clearly show that if we do not know why the female was made, she will be misused or abused. In the series that follow, we will learn the purpose, nature, and design of the woman as she was created in the image of Yah and as she relates to the man. These are Yah’s ideal purposes for women and men, which we desire to move toward. However, we must keep in mind that entering into Yah’s purposes will be a continual process of learning and transformation. Therefore, we need to be patient with ourselves. We are starting where we are now- not at the place we should be, and not at the place at which we will arrive.




We should never accept what we currently have as the norm.




Paul told us, in regard to our spiritual growth, that we are to forget the things that are behind us and reach for what is ahead of us. We are to press on the mark, which is the “high calling of Yah in Hamachiach Yahusha” (Philippians 3:13 KJV). When Yahusha came to earth, He showed us the mark we are to hit. So whatever He says is what we’re supposed to pursue. He showed us Yah’s original plan so that we could have something to aim at. We should never accept what we currently have as the norm. Even though it may be the current trend, if it’s not what Yah intended, it’s abnormal. We should never live so below our privilege that we begin to believe a lie and call it truth.




When you begin to understand and live in the purposes of Yah, people may become very uncomfortable with you. When you tell them, “Look, I know what it is to be a woman. I went to the Manufacturer and got the right Manual,” they may say, “Oh, no, that’s an old manual; it’s out of date.” However, we cannot improve on the original.




When we- both women and men- gain an understanding of our uniqueness and purpose in Yah, we will be able to assist one another in properly understanding and fulfilling the lives Yah created us to live. We will then also be able to live in right relationship with Yah, and in the freedom and blessings He planned for us in creation. What’s more, when we mend the broken relationships between female and male, both of whom are created in the image of Yah, we will begin to see healing and new purpose for the individuals, communities, and nations of our world.

Yah is a Yah of purpose.


When Yah swears an oath regarding something, He has to fulfill what He swore to do, because He is totally faithful, to Himself.


Yah created everything according to its intended purpose.


Not every purpose is known to us because we have lost our understanding of Yah’s original intent for us.


Where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.


You cannot move away from Yah’s plan and be successful.


If you want to know the purpose of something, never ask the thing itself; ask the one who made it.


We find our purpose in the mind of our Maker.


Yah’s purpose is the key to our fulfillment.
