YOU’RE NOT LOST, YOU’RE UNALIGNED PART 3

Proverbs chapter 25







Today we are walking in: YOU’RE NOT LOST, YOU’RE UNALIGNED PART 3







Habakkuk 1:11




Then shall his mind change H2015, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.






CHANGE










Today we look to the word- CHANGE- H2015- haphak- a primitive root; to turn about or over; by implication, to change, overturn, return, pervert:—become, change, come, be converted, give, make (a bed), overthrow overturn), perverse, retire, tumble, turn (again, aside, back, to the contrary, every way).












The Torah Testifies…………….






Genesis 35:2




Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that werewith him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change H2015 your garments:




Leviticus 27:10




He shall not alter it, nor change H2015 it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change H2015 beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.





Leviticus 27:33




He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change H2015 it: and if he change H2015 it at all, then both it and the change H2015 thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.












The Prophets Proclaim………





Jeremiah 2:36




Why gaddest thou about so much to change H2015 thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.






Zechariah 3:4




And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change H2015 of raiment.






Malachi 3:6




For I am the LORD, I change H2015 not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.










The Writings witness……………





Job 14:14




If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change H2015 come.






Psalm 102:26




They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change H2015 them, and they shall be changed:






Proverbs 24:21




My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change H2015:










Now listen very carefully, because this is where many people become anxious.




They say, “If purpose is so important, how do I find it?”




And I want to relieve you immediately.




Elohiym did not hide your purpose from you.




He hid it in you.




Elohiym is not playing games with your life.




He is not teasing you.




He is not trying to make your assignment mysterious.




The Cepher says in Mishlei (Proverbs) 25:2, “It is the glory of Elohiym to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search it out.”




That means Elohiym leaves clues.




He embeds indicators.




He plants signals.




Purpose is not discovered in a prayer closet alone.




It is revealed through design.




Design always reveals purpose.




If you want to know why a thing exists, study how it was built.




Tehilliym (Psalm) 139 says, “You formed my inward parts. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.”




That means Elohiym was intentional.




Nothing about you is accidental.




Your temperament is not accidental.




Your sensitivities are not accidental.




Your interests are not accidental.




Your frustrations are not accidental.




Let me say something very important.




What irritates you often indicates what you were designed to correct.




The thing that angers you the most is often the thing you were sent to fix.




Nechemyah (Nehemiah) could not tolerate broken walls.




Hadassah (Esther) could not ignore injustice.




Mosheh could not watch abuse.




Yahusha could not stand hypocrisy.




Purpose always reveals itself through burden.




Here is the problem.




Many people suppress their burden because it is inconvenient.




They silence their concern because it disrupts comfort.




But your burden is not a weakness.




It is a calling indicator.




Galatiym (Galatians) 6:2 says, “Carry one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Mashiach.”




Notice fulfillment is connected to burden-bearing.




If nothing moves you, nothing will assign you.




Another clue to purpose is natural capacity.




What do you do well without strain?




What do you do instinctively?




What do people come to you for even when you don’t advertise it?




Romaiym (Romans) 12 says, “Gifts differ according to grace.”




Grace is divine enablement.




Where grace flows, effort feels light.




That does not mean it is easy.




It means it is sustainable.




Let me clarify something.




Purpose is not always comfortable, but it is always consistent with design.




You may be challenged, stretched, and tested, but you will not be destroyed by your purpose.




Yahusha said, “My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”




The burden is light because it fits.




A yoke that fits does not chafe.




Here is another clue.




The problems you keep seeing that others ignore.




Everyone sees the same world, but not everyone sees the same problems.




You see what you are designed to address.




Some see broken families.




Some see injustice.




Some see inefficiency.




Some see ignorance.




Some see poverty.




Some see confusion.




Your eyes are drawn to your assignment.




Now hear this clearly.




Purpose is not discovered by imitation.




Comparison will always distort purpose.




You are not called to copy another man’s assignment.




You are not required to compete with another woman’s destiny.




Sha’ul (Paul) said in Galatiym (Galatians) 1:16, “I did not consult with flesh and blood.”




Why?




Because people will project their limitations onto your assignment.




They will measure your future by their experience.




Let me say something strong but necessary.




Experience is not the best teacher.




Obedience is.




Experience tells you what cannot be done.




Obedience tells Elohiym what you believe He can do.




That is why children move boldly.




They have no experience to restrict their faith.




Yahusha said, “Unless you become like a little child, you cannot enter the Kingdom.”




Not because children are cute, but because they trust design.




Here is another critical clue:




Effectiveness.




Where do you produce results consistently?




Where does fruit follow your effort?




Yahusha said, “By their fruit you shall know them.”




Purpose produces fruit.




Activity produces fatigue.




If you are always tired but rarely fruitful, you may be misaligned.




Let me give you a Kingdom principle you must remember:




Elohiym never reveals purpose to satisfy curiosity.




He reveals purpose to demand responsibility.




That is why some of you feel restless right now.




That restlessness is not anxiety.




It is assignment pressure.




Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes) 3:11 says, “He has placed eternity in their hearts.”




That means there is something in you that refuses to settle for survival.




So stop asking, “What do I want to do with my life?”




And start asking, “What problem was my life sent to solve?”




Because purpose is always outward-facing.




Purpose always serves others.




Purpose always advances the Kingdom.




Purpose always brings heaven’s influence into earthly territory.




When you begin to honor these clues—burden, capacity, effectiveness, conviction—you will notice clarity increasing.




And once purpose becomes clear, calling will no longer confuse you.




You will stop chasing titles and start embracing assignment.




You will stop waiting for permission and start walking in obedience.




And I promise you this:




When purpose is honored, provision will pursue you.




Now, my friends, this is where many sincere people get trapped.




They confuse calling with emotion.




They think calling is a feeling.




They think calling is excitement.




They think calling is enthusiasm.




And because of that misunderstanding, they keep waiting for a feeling instead of responding to an assignment.




Let me say this plainly.




Calling is not how you feel.




Calling is what you are sent to do.




Feelings change.




Assignment does not.




Emotions rise and fall.




Purpose remains constant.




If your obedience depends on your mood, your destiny will always be delayed.




The Cepher never says, “Those who feel led shall inherit the promise.”




It says, “Those who endure to the end shall be saved.”




Endurance is not emotional.




It is discipline.




Ivriym (Hebrews) 3:1 calls believers partakers of the heavenly calling.




A calling is something you participate in, not something you admire.




It demands action, not applause.




Let me clarify something very important.




A calling is a summons to responsibility.




When Elohiym calls a man or woman, He is not inviting them to comfort.




He is drafting them into service.




Yeshayahu (Isaiah) understood this.




When Elohiym asked, “Whom shall I send?” Yeshayahu responded, “Here am I. Send me.”




He did not ask for details.




He did not negotiate conditions.




He did not request benefits.




He volunteered for assignment.




This is why so many people feel confused.




They are waiting to be inspired when Elohiym is waiting for them to obey.




Inspiration may excite you, but obedience aligns you.




And alignment is what activates destiny.




Yahusha Himself modeled this perfectly.




In the garden of Gethsemane, He did not feel like going to the stake.




He said, “Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me.”




But He did not stop there.




He finished the sentence with assignment language:




“Nevertheless, not My will, but Yours be done.”




That is calling.




Calling is choosing the Father’s will over personal preference.




Let me say something that may challenge you.




If your calling only fits your comfort, it is probably self-selected, not Elohiym-assigned.




Calling will stretch you.




Calling will require sacrifice.




Calling will demand discipline.




Calling will cost you convenience.




That is why Yahusha said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.”




He did not say follow Me when it feels good.




He said follow Me when it costs.




Now listen carefully.




Calling always connects you to people.




Elohiym never calls you to isolation.




He calls you to service.




Whether your assignment is in business, education, government, ministry, media, family, or art, calling always exists to meet the needs of others.




Eph’siym (Ephesians) 4 says, “Elohiym gave gifts to men for the equipping of the set-apart ones, for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body.”




Calling builds others, not ego.




This is why calling must be governed by submission.




You cannot fulfill a Kingdom assignment while rejecting Kingdom authority.




Yahusha was submitted to the Father.




The disciples were submitted to Mashiach.




Sha’ul was submitted to the revelation of Yahusha and to the body.




Submission is not weakness.




It is alignment.




And alignment is protection.




Let me make this practical.




If you say you are called but you cannot commit, question your definition.




If you say you are called but you cannot be corrected, question your maturity.




If you say you are called but you avoid responsibility, question your obedience.




Calling produces faithfulness, not flakiness.




Here is a truth you must remember:




Calling is proven by consistency, not intensity.




Many people start strong but finish weak.




Destiny is not impressed by beginnings.




Destiny is shaped by perseverance.




Sha’ul said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”




Notice the order:




Fight.

Finish.

Keep.




Calling is validated at the end, not at the start.




So stop asking, “Do I feel called today?”




And start asking, “Am I faithful to what Elohiym has already assigned?”




Because Elohiym never reveals the next assignment to those who neglect the current one.




Luke 16:10 says, “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much.”




Faithfulness attracts expansion.




My friend, when you understand that calling is assignment, not emotion, you will stop quitting when feelings fade.




You will stop chasing excitement and start honoring responsibility.




And when you do, destiny will stop being a mystery and start becoming a pathway.




Now listen very carefully, because destiny is the word people love to shout about but rarely understand.




Destiny is not magic.




Destiny is not luck.




Destiny is not something that just happens because you prayed once or received a prophecy.




Destiny is the product of consistent alignment over time.




And if you remove alignment, destiny becomes delayed.




If you remove discipline, destiny becomes denied.




Let me define destiny again so there is no confusion.




Destiny is the future you arrive at when you remain faithful to your purpose through your calling.




Destiny answers the question where.




Where your life is going.




Where your obedience leads.




Where your choices take you.




Destiny is not what you wish for.




It is what your life produces.




The Cepher is very clear about this principle.




Galatiym (Galatians) 6:7 says, “Do not be deceived. Elohiym is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”




Destiny is a harvest.




And harvests do not come from wishes.




They come from seeds planted consistently in the right soil.




You do not wake up in destiny.




You grow into it.




This is why time is such a critical factor.




Destiny requires patience.




Ivriym (Hebrews) 6:12 says, “We inherit the promises through faith and patience.”




Faith gives you vision.




Patience gives you endurance.




Faith sees the future.




Patience walks toward it one step at a time.




Many people have faith but lack patience.




They want the end without the process.




They want the crown without the cross.




Let me say something very important.




Destiny does not respond to intensity.




It responds to consistency.




You can be intense for a season and still fail.
