Discover your Purpose

CHAPTER ONE

EVERYTHING STARTS IN EDEN

The First Chapter of Genesis tells us how creation was made in six days and
describes in Genesis 1:26

Then God said: “Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness: and rule over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, over the
beasts, in all the earth, and in every animal that creeps on the earth. "

In this verse and in the following verses 1: 27-30 we find the design of
God or rather the purpose for man (Adam and Eve).
 
Let's define the word Purpose: It comes from the Latin propositum, it is the intention or the
encouragement, to do something, or to stop doing something // Desire, Intention, Will.

In other words we can define what purpose means: Desire, Intention, and
Will.

We will be using in this manual, these three words to refer to
purpose.

In Genesis Chapter 2: 15-17 God placed the man and put him in the garden of
Eden, man was taken to a place where he could live and in which he had everything to
spend and develop your life, but in verse 17. Jehovah God gives you a
he ordered saying: “but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat; why
the day you eat it, you will certainly die. "

Later God says in Genesis 2:18.

It's not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper for him.

Here we see that God's creation is complete with Adam having his companion
called Eva.

The garden now has two male and female guests created by God himself and
bearers of the same Spirit of God, it seems that the creation of everything and even
of the man and the woman the Purpose (Desire, Will) is going well
fulfilling, but one day, in a moment and a time a character appears
called serpent (Satan) who initiates an intelligent and seductive dialogue with Eva
which begins in chapter 3: 1-5.

1) The serpent said the woman: With which God has said to you: Do not eat of every tree
from the orchard?
(2) And the woman said to the serpent: Of the fruit of the trees of the garden
we can eat; (3) But of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God said:
You will not eat of it, nor will you touch it so that you do not die.

Eve said something that God did not mention in his order to Adam according to Genesis 2:17

“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat; because the day of him
you eat, you will certainly die. "

She added saying, neither will you touch him, so that you don't die. (Genesis 3: 3)

This addition of Eva gives access to a hypothesis where it opens a way to the
imagination; We could imagine that picture where that dialogue spread and
because of that the snake a very clever reptile more than all the animals of the
field that Jehovah God had made (Genesis 3: 1)

He managed to persuade Eve by convincing her to eat the fruit which God
had said not to eat (the Bible does not describe what fruit it was)

And she gave Adam the forbidden fruit to eat, this act of disobedience
it caused what the enemy wanted them to disobey God.

Adam and Eve were destined to live in the garden but this action of
disobedience caused sin in them.

Sin: Thought or action against God's will (1. John 3: 4, 5:17)
and James 4:17 also affirms it.
Secret sin on earth, it's open scandal in heaven
 
God visits his guests in the garden. Genesis 3: 7-9

The disobedience caused the eyes of both to be opened and that
know they were naked. (Genesis 3: 7)

They heard the voice of God walking in the garden, in the cool of the day and the man and his
The woman hid from the presence of Jehovah God among the trees of the garden.
Genesis 3: 8

Jehovah God's visit to his two guests initiates a dialogue on the way to a
sentence that would change the course of the history of the two of them and of humanity that
it would come out of their loins.
Some questions arise in this difficult situation that they would have to face:
Who did God create first? Answer: to Adam

Who did God call after the fall? to Adam

Who sinned first, Adam or Eve? It was Eva.

Let's look carefully at what Genesis 3: 9-19 teaches us

Losing Purpose is losing Authority, Vision, identity, and Direction.

Let's start the verdict by studying chapter 3: 9
“But Jehovah God called to the man and said to him: Where are you?

What does this question mean? God was saying to Adam in other words
Why did you agree to eat the forbidden fruit?

God knew where Adam was physically, hiding behind a tree; God knew
where they were spiritually, in disobedience and in sin.

God wanted Adam to acknowledge his sinful condition and the position in which
was found for having sinned, so that he would admit his guilt and ask forgiveness from
God, but Adam didn't.

(10) Adam answered I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked and
I hid.

Being naked does not produce fear, having disobeyed (sin) produced in the
scared, we find an adan who learned to lie.

Before sinning they were naked and did not show fear before Jehovah God,
That is why God said to him: Who taught you that you were naked? Have you eaten from
tree that I send you don't eat? (3:11)

Here we find that sin opened their eyes to the natural and the carnal.
The vision of seeing things spiritually had been lost as a result of
sin.

When someone loses purpose, they lose identity, responsibility and commitment and
we see this reflected in the expression. The woman you gave me as a companion
gave from the tree and I ate (3:12).
Losing the priesthood is the sign of blaming others and not being responsible for
our own actions as demonstrated by Adam when he told God “The woman who
gave me". This expression is like saying to God, it was your fault and hers, this
demonstrated a lack of integrity in Adam.
How many marriages are in crisis today due to lack of integrity of one of the two,
or both to recognize the urgent need to make changes in your
marriage, many men today have taken Adam's attitude of blaming
to his wife, or a relative and even to God himself from his crisis in his marriage
when they are the ones who consciously ate the fruit
(They did things voluntarily without pressure)

In Genesis 3: 13-19 we see the verdict for disobedience and we find a
separation (Divorce) between God and man. God's plan had suffered a
disorder as a result of disobedience (sin) and the enemy thought that
he had destroyed God's creation.

Adan y Eva ya no estarían en el Edén pero tampoco saldrían desnudos
conscientes de su condición pecaminosa Jehova Dios hizo al hombre y a su mujer
túnicas de pieles, y los vistió. (3:21) 

El poner túnicas de pieles sobre ellos simbolizaba la cobertura de Dios y su
misericordia sobre ellos.

No pierdas el propósito en tu vida para que no vivas fuera de la voluntad de Dios,
ni fuera del deseo agradable de El para ti.

Dios siguió y sigue buscando hombres y mujeres donde el pueda cumplir su
propósito en cada uno de ellos, el primer Adan fallo pero fuimos rescatados por el
Postrer Adan (Cristo Jesus).

CHAPTER TWO
LET'S GO TO THE FIELD
Genesis4: 1-2, 3-8

In this chapter we will study the first murder in the Bible outside of paradise and the
first founder of a human settlement.

Genesis 4: 1-2, 3-8
 
This story describes the story of the first family outside of paradise (Huerto del
Eden).

Adam and Eve had two sons named Cain and Abel. The first was a farmer from the
land and the second, Shepherd of sheep.

The time has come one day to offer sacrifice of the fruits of your work to God of
which Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Jehovah.

And Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his sheep, of the fattest of them. Y
Jehovah looked upon Abel and his offering. (Genesis 4: 3-4)

The Bible teaches us that older brother Cain had lost Purpose but
we see in Abel a person with Purpose, every good work of man produces
envy (Ecclesiastes 4: 4)

Because Cain lost Purpose against God and his brother if each had his own,
it all begins in the heart of man, the gratitude that Abel showed by bringing
the fattest of his sheep became the cause that provoked in his brother
a malaise with dangerous intentions.

The Bible says that Jehovah looked upon Abel and his offering with pleasure. When a
person loses Purpose also does not have disclosure of some actions
necessary and important in the Kingdom of God such as the offering.

The meaning of the fattest: It means a lot, the best, something big, and something
beautiful.

The offering has no limits that is why it is seen as an action of the heart and due
This is why the offering is greater than the tithe, the tithe is a
amount established by God, and the offering is an attitude of our heart,
also established by God.
When we lose God's Purpose in our life we ​​lose the desire, the
intention, and the will of God in us. When Cain saw that Jehovah God looked
his brother was pleased with his offering, and his heart was exceedingly cruel.
Genesis 4: 5

God's desire was to find purpose in both of them but it was not like that; Cain is the
symbolism of those believers who give as they are and do not give as it is,
they believe that it is enough to give, and they do not bring God the best but only the fruit
of the earth, Cain's action is a figure of those who believe that salvation is
through works. If we understood the power of the offering the church of Jesus
Christ would walk on a supernatural level.

God doesn't rebuke Cain so much for his offering, he was giving him a chance
so that he would repent and speak to him with love, because God knew the desire, the
intention and the will that was in Cain's heart (Purpose) against his
brother Abel Genesis 4: 6-7
 
A proposal with bad intentions "Let's go out to the field." Gen. 4: 8

What Cain was up to, who took his brother away and away from home, he wanted
end his own brother's life and he succeeded.

This teaches us how someone with no purpose can negatively affect your
family and all the environment around him, Cain was not only the first to
murdering a relative, but also in putting a point of origin of violence
against his neighbor in the Bible and in human history.

CHAPTER THREE
 
BORN BY A DIVINE DESIRE
Judges 13: 2-5
 

In this chapter we will study how God prepares the way to raise a
man to become a judge in Israel and deliver his people from the hands of the
Philistines.

We remember that Purpose means: Desire, Will, and Intent.

God wants to make one of his wishes come true but he needs a glass where
deposit his glory, then we will study the history of this judge.
 
Judges 13: 2-5

When personal desire is greater than God's desire or the will of
God, man lives a life without Purpose.

God's wish for this young man named Samson was that he become a judge
to free his people, his parents received divine instructions and they
they transmitted them to him. (Judges 13: 8, 12-14, 24)

The Bible records that personal desire led him to miss God's purpose and
of his parents in his life. Judges 14: 1-3

How many children have had their parents' address since childhood but when
grow they begin to "descend". The Bible mentions in Judges 14: 1 that Samson
descended to Timnat, the geographical location where Sanson lived was a high area
since the geographically descended (lower, lower).

The application of this is that the bass spiritually began to do the opposite.
to the desire of God and their parents. When they join a person loses Purpose when
bone begins to descend, to go down, his life begins to lose identity and makes
his will and not God's or his parents'.

That Sanson has descended geographically and spiritually this led him to
well of despair as described in Psalm 40: 2.

God's desire was to see a Samson fulfill the mission assigned to him
since before he was born, but many of us lose assignments in the life of
agreement we are growing by the circumstances that begin to surround us

Losing Purpose can make us lose a lot. Judges 16:28, 30. In this passage
we find the account of Samson's death he manages to reconcile himself with God, but
he dies, loses his sight, lost his freedom, and lost his privileges.

I end up being derision and mockery of the Philistines, let's learn from this lesson
that when we lose Purpose our destiny looks gray.

Do not lose your eyes, much less your head like Sanson for not being able to dominate
his inner passions, he could kill lions and Philistines but he could not overcome those
inner passions.

Remember something the world can take your eyes out, and this means loss of vision,
loss of identity, and address.

…………………………………………………………………….
The saddest thing that can happen to a man or a woman
is to go to the grave without finding purpose in this life
…………………………………………………………………….
 
Do not love what God hates, Do not do what God has not commanded you to do.
What remains for man after pleasures, he only has sadness, anguish,
and pain and in some cases, physical or spiritual death.

No one is responsible for your actions but yourself, Sanson was led to such a difficult
situation of his own free will, he set a wrong Purpose for his life.

When I decide not to repent, I accept my consequences.

Just as Sanson was born by a desire of God (Purpose) you and I were born with a
Purpose from God. (Jeremiah 1: 5)

You are a prophet according to Jeremiah 1: 5 you determine that the word written in the
Bible will fulfill every letter of it in your life, walking in God's purpose is
walk toward a destination of glory and promise in this life and in the life to come.
allow no offer or temptation to separate you from God's desire for your life
but every day renew your mind and do not conform to this century but walk
as seeing the invisible. (Romans 12: 2, Hebrews 11:27)

CHAPTER FOUR
 
YOU LOSE PURPOSE, YOU LOSE THE KINGDOM
1 SAMUEL 9: 2
 

In this chapter we will study the history of the first king of Israel, a man
called Saul who had no royal descendants but was counted among the Kings of
Israel, as related in the Bible. 1 Samuel 9: 2

One of the characteristics that stands out in Saul is that he was not a Shepherd.
he cared for his father's donkeys (1 Samuel 9: 3)

Saul appears in history as King of Israel at the request of the people, the people
decides to leave the theocratic government of God for a government of man
(democratic) 1 Samuel 8: 5-8

Here we see a nation that had been led and ruled by Jehovah God by
many generations. This people was rejecting God and they ask for a King
prophet Samuel to rule it, this teaches us that the Nation was
living without purpose. Then God grants their request to give them a King.
1 Samuel 10: 17-23

King Saul had no royal lineage but was appointed by God as King and that was
enough for him to live a life that would please God but still not
It was like this, one of the things that led Saul to lose Purpose was the lack of
patience. 1 Samuel 13: 9-14

Lack of patience has caused difficult situations in the lives of many leaders,
in history and in the present. That fissure in his character led him to act crazy
as Samuel told him. (1.Samuel 13:13)

Both impatience and other areas of our character can lead us to
lose purpose and lose God's favor.

Other areas that King Saul showed how weak in his character was lack
in obedience to God's ordinance. 1 Samuel 15: 2-3

Lack of subjection is very important in the life of the Christian and in the life of the leader
If we have not learned to submit to God, who we do not see, it is difficult for us
let's hold a man we can see

Disobedience can lead us to cast off as happened to King Saul
1 Samuel 15: 8-9

The purpose that God had in Saul, Saul himself put it at risk when
obey your inner desires and those of the people 1 Samuel 15: 10-11

The loss of the Kingdom is inevitable. 1 Samuel 15: 12-15

King Saul was a privileged man because he lived under the law but had been
given the reign by grace and did not know how to administer that undeserved favor
1 Samuel 15: 16-17

When I don't do what God asks me to do, then I am disobeying,
when I do what my heart dictates, then I am also in
disobedience, God has given each of us a mission to fulfill
on this earth, each of us will have to fulfill that mission with obedience
not pleasing to my eye, but pleasing to the heart of God. 1 Samuel 15: 18-21

When God assigns us something, he does not give it with the intention of taking it away, but rather gives it
With the Purpose that you and I are good stewards of what we have.
If I do not obey what God assigns me then I disobey God and this
leads to a position of rebellion. 1 Samuel 15: 22-23

One of the worst mistakes a leader can make is trying to please everyone
and not to God, to seek the favor of men, is not to seek the favor of God.
Galatians 1:10

Many leaders and why not say Christians, today they have lost their reign
(Marriage, Family) for obeying the desire of other people and not the desire to
God for your life. 1 Samuel 15: 24-28

The life of King Saul is a very great example for our life today and
teaches us a great lesson of how important it is to fear God, to please
God and having self-control in our character.

What I learned in this story is that I don't want God to look for a better one
than my, as the prophet told King Saul.
Don't lose your Purpose, and you won't lose your Kingship.

People don't care how much you know until I know how much you care (about them)

CHAPTER FIVE
IT WAS IN THE GREAT FISH THAT I FOUND PURPOSE
Jonas 1: 1-3
 

It is in the heart of God that every human being finds Purpose while
he lives to find the destiny of glory that he has for humanity. Thats why he
The psalmist describes it in 138: 8 "Jehovah will fulfill his purpose in me."

In this chapter we will study the story of the prophet Jonas as described by the
book Jonas 1: 1-3.

God will always assign each one of us a mission since this
established in Matthew 28: 16-20 and how children of God we should fulfill.

God needs a human body so that through it, God can reach a
place and speak, this was the case of the prophet Jonas a Radical Jews or very
nationalist (Patriotic) of his Nation, he is known as the rebellious prophet, but
In this study we are going to identify him as the man who in the middle of a process
that he managed to find God's Purpose for his life.

God says to Jonas "Get up" and go to Nineveh, first he activates him (Commissions) and
then gives him the mission "A destiny", called Nineveh, a pagan Nation which
Jonas refuses to go so that they will not receive God's mercy if they
they regretted it.
 
Where will I hide? Jonas 1: 3
Jonas did get up but to do his will and not God's, he left for
Tarsis another city which God had not sent, wanted to hide from the
presence of the Omnipresent (Psalm 139: 7-8)

Who can flee from the presence of God? Where can I hide from your
presence?

Jonas leaves Galilee, which was where he was when he received the call, walks to the
Port of Joppa located in (Tel Aviv) a distance of 3006.27 km
approximately to reach the port of Joppa and from there he would travel by boat to
travel approximately 3,827.42 nautical miles to reach
Tarsis. (Currently includes Seville, Andalusia, Cardis in Spain).

The distance between Nineveh and Tarsis is 5,911.32 km, The distance from Israel
(Galilee) to Nineveh is 2,958 km. This gives us a distance of 2,953.32 km from
more than he did for his rebellion (he did half a way more)

How many of us have lost time, money, health, and geographic miles
like the prophet Jonas for our disobedience Jonas symbolizes all those
who have a call from God but keep walking towards Tarsis when God
He wants them to go to Nineveh (Evangelism).

God loves us and helps us find purpose. Jonas 1: 4-10
God will do anything to get your attention, even if I have to raise big
winds to make you return to purpose and if necessary we will be taken to
belly of the great fish (The Bible does not say Whale. Jonah 1:17)

When a person walks aimlessly it causes collateral damage (affects their
around) this was the case Jonas was affecting fellow travelers.
(Jonas 1: 5) Similarly, someone who walks aimlessly prefers to lie down
sleep in the middle of commitments leaving the responsibility to others.
(Jonas 1: 5-6)

Jonas's attitude is similar to that of many believers today,
fleeing the presence of God and living a life without purpose, without compromise
and without responsibility. (Proverbs 13: 4)

The saddest thing that can happen to a man or a woman is to go to eternity
without having found Purpose in Christ Jesus.

It is very important to learn to declare (confess) what happens to us to find
purpose in God. (Jonas 1: 7-8) Jonas declared his internal condition to his
fellow travelers which bare their spiritual condition before them.

Nothing will change if you are not honest with yourself and open your heart to a
genuine encounter with God.
Every action provokes a reaction, his action provoked a reaction from the great
The God".
Every action leads to a consequence, having disobeyed provoked a process
or call for attention from God, because God whom he takes for his son
discipline. (Hebrews 12: 6)
Recognize your identity if you are a child of God, do not deny it when necessary
affirm it, Jonas said, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear Jehovah." (Jonas 1: 9)

What will we do with you. 1:11, 15,17
Take me and throw me into the sea. We can apply this expression as take me to
a process of formation, be it spirit, Pastoral formation (Restoration) or a
personal formation process between the person and God.

Jonas's attitude in this process showed some integrity by accepting that for
his cause had come that great storm, today the body of Christ needs
live and practice integrity since it is one of the values ​​that Christ taught us.

In the Fish I found Purpose. Jonas 1:17
God has given me the privilege of taking his word to two prisons in this Nation and
For more than three years preaching within her I have called her "The Great Fish", to the
Prison since it is a place of discomfort and nothing pleasant for those there
are and many of them have been restored because the Spirit of God has heard their
prayers and visited them in their discomfort and anguish of soul, many of
they have had genuine regrets and have come out with new expectations
From his personal life it is there where they found Purpose and found their destiny.

The Bible describes that Jonas in his distress cried out to God. Jonas 2: 1-10

God did not judge Jonas, he worked on the restoration of this son and taught him to walk.
in the right direction. The Big Fish was not for Jonas, but for his disobedience
on the way he met the Big Fish, be careful to take another route of
wrong escape because you can find the Big Fish (Jail, Hospital,
Persecution, Trial, etc.)
 
If you are walking towards Tarsis at this time when God is waiting
that you fulfill your mission to Nineveh, I ask you to reflect and stop in your
life because if you keep off purpose you can meet The Big Fish, yes
something touches the heart of God is a repentant heart like Jonas did.

At this time say a prayer of repentance with your Leader.

CHAPTER SIX

IT WAS AT NIGHT
JOHN 3: 1-15

​

The character that we are going to study in this chapter is about a man who had
much knowledge of writing in his time it seemed that he had nothing to
learn from Jesus, the Master Teacher but this man understood the
feet of Jesus that knowledge without revelation is pure letter.

It was in the Night that I found Purpose John 3: 2-3
Because Nicodemus, a teacher of the law came to Jesus at night who teaches us
arrive at night for that important appointment and not during the day.

I arrived at night because I was a Principal of the Pharisee Sect and I was afraid of being
seen by his fellow religionists.

Have you ever wanted to be born again? And who doesn't? Everyone at some point
has happened to us. However, starting our physical life over does not
will solve our problems. Our true need is to be born again
spiritually.

For this reason Jesus told Master Nicodemus (All), “They have to be born of
new." (John 3: 7)

The Greek term gennao means, to be born and anothen (Again) can be translated
by "from above" or "again."

The birth that Jesus spoke of was a new birth, a birth
heavenly or both at the same time. He was probably referring to the heavenly birth since
later I use the analogy of the wind that does not know where it comes from,
to exemplify spiritual birth. However, Nicodemus interpreted that
Jesus spoke of a second physical birth, of being born again, Jesus explains
this new or heavenly birth in John 3: 6-8 and difference being born in the flesh
with being born of the spirit.

The group to which Nicodemus belonged was a group born of the flesh, that is
religion, knowledgeable people with outward holiness, but with a
contaminated heart since they never knew who they were in front of, the Messiah
announced.
 
The believer receives a new life from God, through birth
spiritual birth, John 1: 12-13 and only through this spiritual birth one
he can be a participant in the Kingdom of God, and receive from his Spirit.

Those born into the family of God reflects His divine justice. 1. John 2:29 and they are free
of the sin that we all have. 1. John 3: 9, 5:18

When the Christian is born again the Holy Spirit is in him and imparts the
revelation of writing to know how to live correctly outside the spirit of error.

Those who are born again have a living hope. 1. Peter 1: 3

Being born again is produced by the power of God's word. 1. Peter 1:23

The process of being born again is also produced by the continuous renewal in
the life of the Christian. The dialogue between Jesus and Nicodemus brought about a renewal in
his way of thinking, it was that night that this teacher of the Pharisees found
Purpose for his life and from that night he became a disciple
(follower) secret of Jesus Christ (John 19: 38-40)

One of the things Nicodemus teaches us is that he showed humility by sitting at
the feet of the Teacher, a true teacher is always a true student, he does not
showed haughtiness for the knowledge he had rather showed admiration when
He said, “Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher; because nobody can
do these signs that you do, if God is not with him. (John 3: 2)

Today many need to be born again from the inside since the work of God
It is from the inside out and that is what this teacher of the law understood that
night.

There are many Nicodemus who do not understand earthly things or believe them because of that
they cannot understand spiritual things. John 3:12 The talk of Jesus and
Nicodemus is extended to John 3:16 and that is where he understands that the one who is
in front of him is the announced Messiah, the Savior of the World.

How many have not learned to know Jesus through the sacred scriptures.
Pray to God that he gives you the opportunity to find Purpose in your life and not walk
lost and without direction in this life, tell the Holy Spirit and with humility of
heart that guides you to the Master as Nicodemus did.

Remember he was transformed that night, and you when?

CHAPTER SEVEN

IT WAS AT THE WELL
JOHN 4: 3-29
 

In the previous chapter we studied the life of a literate man of vast
knowledge in this chapter we will study a woman discriminated against by
society of his time.

Jesus' mission begins when he leaves Judea for Galilee again, and it was
necessary to go through Samaria. In the original Greek the impersonal verb is used
“Dei” although this verb appears about 105 times in the new testament, in only
one of those occasions is used to refer to a personal need.
(obligation-purpose) for example:

"... It was necessary for the son of man to suffer much ..." Mark 8:31

"It is necessary for me to be the works of the one who sent me." John 9: 4

"... It was necessary for him to rise from the dead ..." John 3:14

Here we understand that the expression "it was necessary" is applied to the mission and
labor, and to the need of which Christ came to earth for them.

It was necessary for him to go through; Samaria, to get to Sychar, This is the place of
destination to reach Jacob's well, a meeting place, the meeting time was at
the sixth hour, this is at 12:00 p.m.

We all know the story that Jesus introduces a very wise phrase into the conversation
Give me to drink, which the woman does not give her water at the moment but, that contradicts her
because of the rivalry that existed at that time between Jews and Samaritans.
 (The Samaritans were pagans and it was a mixture of Jews with those of Samaria)

Jesus will always look for a day, a place, an hour, a City or a State to
reach you and help you find Purpose it will not matter the place if you
you recognize. John 4:10

In the dialogue Jesus never questions his lifestyle as society did.
in which she was, when she got to draw water from the well she did not meet
people in that place because the hour was warm but she for being a whore and
discriminated against, he did it at that time, so Jesus had to go there at that time
time to find it and bring it to the purpose of salvation, while the religious
judged her Jesus offered forgiveness that she needed religion kills,
relationship with the Father gives life, love and forgiveness.

Today many people walk in need of salvation but because of their
condition, they are rejected, Jesus came to seek and save what had been lost.
(Luke 19:10) Our mission is to reach the people who
they are in need of restoration like this woman from Samaria.

In that dialogue Jesus never offended her but if he took her on the way to
repentance to be able to give him of the water of life that flows for eternal life that
only he gives. John 4: 13-14

One of the things we need is to acknowledge our sinful condition.
In order to find Purpose in our life, she told him: “Lord give me that water,
so that I am not thirsty. "

Jesus said to her: Go call your husband (John 4: 15-18) At that moment she recognizes her
marital condition that is not correct and says I do not have a husband.

Jesus already knew what he did was confront her wisely and she recognized that whoever
standing in front of her was a true prophet.

How many times in different places and hours the Lord has spoken to you and you have not
understood that He, Is.

How many today need to go to the well of meeting and meet the Holy Spirit and
be confronted with love and acknowledge their condition and turn to Christ and power
find Purpose as this woman who stopped being a prostitute and achieved
become an Evangelist and take the message to ten cities around you.

God is looking for men and women who are carriers of his grace and his
presence and that they can carry the message of salvation to others. John 4: 39-40

Today the Lord does not condemn you for what you are what he wants is for you to leave
what he does not like, loves what God loves, and hates what God hates and
your life will be with Purpose.

"There is no nobler occupation in the world than to help another human being, to find Purpose."

CHAPTER EIGHT

IT WAS IN THE TEMPLE
JOHN 8: 1-11

Jesus is once again in the temple where the Scribes and Pharisees
they bring a woman who had been caught in the very act of adultery.

Let's define what is Adultery: In a particular and literal sense, sexual relationship between a
married man and a woman who is not his, or between a married woman and a
man who is not her husband.

We carefully analyze this case. Deuteronomy 22:22
“If anyone is caught sleeping with a woman married to a husband, both
they will die, the man who slept with the woman and the woman too; so you will remove the
evil of Israel. "

Exodus 20:14. "You shall not commit adultery."

Leviticus 20:10. “If a man commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the
the adulterer and the adulteress will inevitably be killed. "
 
According to the Biblical account, the Adulterous Woman says this leads us to think that she had
husband, or they called her an adulteress because whoever adulterer was married to, anyone
That has already been the case, the law describes that both should die. This leads to
a question, why didn't they also take the man? With what intention
they made? John 8: 6. These religious more than condemn the woman they wanted
condemning was Jesus but, in the end they were condemned and not Jesus or the
woman.

How many people today are rejected, discriminated against and even ignored by
what they are and what they do, to commit the sin of adultery it takes two
people, back then the Jewish religion, Pharisees, Scribes, and Sadducees were 

led by men and women were culturally subject, this shows us
that they were acting impartially showing protection towards the man.

What did Jesus write? John 8: 6-7

Some scholars say that he wrote the names of those who were accusing
the woman, for sure we do not know what she wrote but, the previous hypothesis
we do not discard it either.

Question against statement. He who is without sin among you is the first to
throw the stone at her. (John 8: 7 part b.)
What does your conscience say? John 8: 9
What is easier, to see the defects in others, or to see yours?

How many times have we criticized and condemned others without mercy when in your
interior you have practiced more than once what you are condemning in others.

Matthew 7: 1-5 These verses teach us to be prudent and merciful toward
others, how many people have not been able to leave that life of sin because of
be prosecuted by people who are not perfect. In the previous verse
mention two very important words: Straw and Beam.

La Paja is a little dirty that gives off the wheat that when it falls into the eye,
makes you tear up and makes you uncomfortable.

The Beam is a large piece that serves to support the roof in a house or a
structure of a construction.

This teaches us that many times the attitudes of our heart are worse
than those of someone who has committed adultery since adultery is visible but
there are of those things that are not seen to the eye of man but that if seen before the
God eye.

Where are those who accuse you? John 8: 10-11
One of the great evils today within the body of Christ is the spirit of
Phariseeism that has been introduced into those of us who practice such faith.
 
Criticism, hypocrisy, pointing out and even condemning our neighbor. Everything
this reveals a bitter truth in all those who call ourselves children
of God. When someone makes a mistake, they should not be applauded, but neither should they
You must expel because you and I do not do the same tomorrow.

Galatians 6: 1-5, 1 Corinthians 10: 12-13

Today's church has the responsibility to restore the fallen and bring them to
reconciliation with Christ. 2 Corinthians 5: 19-21

Christ's attitude caused a radical change in that woman Jesus told her,
I condemn; Go away and sin no more." John 8:11 It was thus that this woman found the
God's purpose and desire for your life.

Luke 10: 30-37. See you do the same.

It is time to put on the Holy Spirit of God and practice the true
gospel of Christ which is love, forgiveness, justice, and restoration and not that of judgment
which is not of Christ but of the Prince of darkness.

CHAPTER NINE

IT WAS THROUGH A VISION
ACTS 10: 1-4
 

In the previous chapters we have seen how some of them found
purpose in different places and circumstances. In this chapter we find
someone who managed to find Purpose through a vision in his home remains
proven that when God wants to do his desire or his will in us,
will do anyway.

The Purpose in life is found in God's timing for our lives and
In the manifest work of the Holy Spirit, today we are going to talk about a man named
Cornelio, Centurion of the company called La Italiana.

A Centurion was a warlord who commanded a hundred men at that time. Was
seen as a noncommissioned officer in the Roman military organizations.
This man had very good characteristics:

Pious and God-fearing with his whole house.
Towards many alms to the town.
I prayed to God always.

These above things lead to believe that people like him do not need to find
purpose in God because their works justify them but the Bible teaches us
contrary. Ephesians 2: 8-10

How many Cornelius we meet today who justify themselves by their
good actions but truly your inner being needs a meeting
with Jesus Christ. Romans 5: 1

Traditional religion has taught that works save us by turning this into
A big lie. If it were by works Cornelius would not have had that vision and Jesus
Christ would not have come to die on the Cross. Works are good for our
blessing but not for our salvation. God loves the generous heart.

In the rest of chapter 10 we find the meeting between Pedro and Cornelio and it is
in that family reunion that Cornelius with his whole house found Purpose. Is
history teaches us a powerful move of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church
primitive. A manifestation that caused a connection from one place to another.
Acts 10: 9-17

This spiritual experience that Cornelius and Peter lived the church of today should
live it daily, when there is prayer, there is direction, when there is prayer, there is
revelation, God cannot speak to those who do not speak to him.

Cornelius appreciated the opportunity when the plan of salvation was presented to him and his
House. Acts 10: 26-33

In the Bible we find people who have not seized the opportunity
when they have heard the gospel as Cornelius took advantage of it.

It will be another time. Acts 24:25. Have you ever come across any
person like Felix, The Apostle Paul spoke to this man about, justice,
the own domain and the judgment to come.

What Felix heard was not enough that the Apostle Paul told him, “when
have a chance I'll call you. " There is a well-known saying that says: Do not leave for
tomorrow what you can do today.

Cornelius is remembered as a just and pious man but also for his
humility in hearing Peter preaching and accepting Jesus Christ. In
Acts 26: 28-29 Paul urges King Agrippa to believe but he replies:
you persuade me to be a Christian. "

Many today call it persuading those who preach the word.

Persuade: Convincing someone to do or stop doing something.

What people really need today is to regret the way they live
since many live as Cornelius lived of good deeds but life not only
is good deeds, but it is to recognize our condition and to know that a
day we will give an account of our actions.

Repentance: The Greek word for repentance is a word
compound formed by meta (Which means after, and suggests some kind of
change) and nous (mind) consequently metanoia implies a transformation
mental.
 
Repentance is rejecting my current and past ways of sin.

God wants a Church that becomes sensitive to his voice that does not call it unclean.
that God purified. Acts 10: 14-15
Get ready to go out to evangelize all those that society and itself
church has put a tag or badge on them and some die and go to a
eternity without Jesus Christ.

CHAPTER TEN

CHILD IDENTITY
LUKE 15: 11-13
 

The prodigal son is a parable widely preached today where most
have focused on this son's attitude of disobedience, but in reality this is
a parable with great symbolism and language for today's church. Here
we find the love of God as father, the disobedience of the son symbolizing

the life of the Christian living without Purpose and the older brother symbolizing the
religious move in the church life, let's look at the structure below.

Father God
Prodigal Son: The Christian without Identity
Big Brother: Religious Move

Definition of parable: Some claim that a parable is a story
heavenly with an earthly meaning. Others say they are comparisons or
illustrations of what Jesus wanted to convey.

This statement is close to the truth since Jesus used parables not
to explain exactly what the kingdom is but to tell us what it is like.

The Greek term Paraboles means more than just a story
comparative. It was used for both a Proverb and an allegory that
Include an enigma, an illustration, or a story.

The current church is in crisis due to the lack of identity of the children of
God, a man had two sons and he was the youngest of them, he said to his father; Father,
give me the part of the goods that corresponds to me; and distributed the goods to them.
(Luke 15: 11-12)

The Jewish culture of that time records that the inheritance was given to the firstborn
when the father died it was not given to the younger son, but the older son
You should give the corresponding part to the younger siblings according to the law.

Some studies record that this youngest child could be between 13-14 years old
since it is the age that in Israel a Young person is seen as someone already responsible
to receive orders and commitments.

The prodigal son took his inheritance and went away to a remote province (World)
where he badly spent his inheritance and lived hopelessly to spend it all.
(Luke 15: 13-14)
 
This young man wasted inheritance this is favor, gifts, and talents the cause of this
It was having heard seductive voices from within that motivated him to seek a
dream out of time and for the moment, many today lose identity because
a thirst for inner success is awakened produced by inner desires without direction and
out of time. (James 1: 14-15)

In the Process You Find Purpose: Luke 15: 15-16
When you live outside of Purpose you live without identity and circumstances are
become more and more difficult is where the enemy unleashes his anger of hatred and makes youeat carob beans, food that is not for you, what are you eating? it's there in that
desert where many die and others reconsider, the Holy Spirit convicts them
and makes them come to.

"Come back to oneself" which means: Luke 15: 17-18
the expression "come to oneself" is to reconsider, react, repent, turn from one's
bad walking.
"I will get up and go to my father", it is time to get up, time to act,
time to change your attitude, and time to recognize that there is something better for you,
God is waiting for men and women to recognize His Position and
Condition.

Position: Who you are in the kingdom of God.
Condition: How you are at that moment (obedience-disobedience)

Many find themselves like the prodigal son living hopelessly bad spending
time, money, energy, family and marriage because of the inner desires the
which have produced loss of identity and hardening of heart.

When a man or a woman regrets it sometimes comes upon them
guilt and contempt feelings that the enemy puts to destroy
those who accept these feelings this young man said: "I am no longer worthy of being
called your son ”(Luke 15:19)

The son always returns, the son never ceases to be, when the process teaches us it is
when we recognize our mistake and the truth that our loved ones had
and we return to our home, we return to identity, this son's mistake is not
is marked in that his inheritance has gone to waste, but in his attitude of
regret how many have left and have not returned, the important and powerful not
It's what you did but you came back

The Attitude of the Father: Luke 15: 20-21
"Wake up, you who sleep, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you"
Ef. 5:14
If you don't get up nothing will happen, this young man decided to get up from his
condition of disobedience to return to his father, the story goes that the father
I went out of town every day to wait for him to reconsider and come home on
father is always waiting for you with open arms, remember it is not what
you did, but you came back.

Why did the father go out to wait for him? because it is believed that the elders of the city
If they saw the prodigal son return, they would stone him for having gone to waste his
inheritance, the father will always be there to receive you and give you mercy before
those who want to stone you.

Repentance Produces Restitution: Luke 15: 22- 24
restitution is activated when you repent, repentance produces
return to your life.

The father said to the servants: Take out the best dress and dress him. a special dress
for him, this indicates that the father had prepared a special dress for him, the
servants knew that this dress was the best.

What does the Dress mean: Clothing, it is a type of coverage, there is a special coverage
for you when you return, when Adam and Eve sinned they dressed in leaves,
but God clothed them in skins, because God gives you the right garment the best
covering of man is God. (Genesis 3:21)
The garment is also a type of Christ who clothes you with righteousness in who we are
justified before God. (Romans 5: 1) those of us who have Christ as the best
clothed, we are justified by God.

What does the ring on his hand mean:
It is to imagine that the ring was made of gold although it is not described in the Bible, this
ring represents the Holy Spirit who seals, and is given to sinners who
return (Ephesians 1:13) this is to receive something divine, this means that the son
prodigal that return belongs to the father, also indicates that everything that the father
its inheritance belongs to the son who returned.

What does footwear mean:
The Sandals separate the foot from the dirt that exists in the earth, strengthens it to
walk. The sandals worn on this son symbolize that salvation separates us
of the world and sets us apart for HIM, so that we may follow his path and announce his
gospel.

Everyone who returns finds Purpose if you find Purpose you find your
Destiny, whoever returns is justified makes you fit to be in the Father's house,
That is why the church is called to be a restorative institution and not a
judgment.

The Eldest Son: Religious System. Luke 15: 25-31
the attitude of the eldest son is an attitude of judgment against his brother, how many today
day they act like that against their brother who left, upset because they returned and the
father (God) began to restore everything to them, he says that the older brother was upset
(Luke 15:28) He showed a Pharisaic or religious attitude when he came from the field
(Field symbolism of the world) many times we do what others do
with the only difference that those move away, but others remain in the house
(church) and they live hopelessly and their sin does not come to light for the moment.

And they are those who are in the house and have not learned to live in the grace of
being at home, but the same eagerness does not allow them to enjoy everything that the Father
has at home.

Do not see the sin condition of your brother better look at the attitude of
regret and rejoice because he returned and was reunited with his father and you 

The fattest calf: Christ is also the fattest calf that fills us with life
divine for us to enjoy, The father, the son who returned and all the others
they could enjoy this fat calf and rejoice.

It is also the abundance that is produced by the love of Jesus Christ in
our lives.

But it was necessary to have a Feast: Luke 15:32
When you return to the feet of the teacher and find your Purpose it is necessary
make a party your return is a reason to party, when you see your brother return
rejoice it is a reason to celebrate, since Jesus came to that world to seek and save
what had been lost. (Luke 19:10)

There is joy before the angels of God for a man who repents and
Discover your Purpose and return to God's desire, will and desire.
(Luke 15:10)

Today meditate on this moment and reconsider, stop eating carob beans and return to
home the Father is waiting for you wants to restore everything that the enemy had
taken away.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

UNDERSTANDING THE CALL
ACTS 9: 1-6

 
In this chapter we will study the life of one of the most successful men
records the Bible and one of the men who suffered the most in his ministry
we will know the before and after we will also study how he understood the
God's calling for your life and a determined change to the service of God that
no circumstance made him lose the Purpose he achieved when Christ
He chose to be a useful instrument in the kingdom of God.

Arrest letters. Acts 9: 1-2
Saul threatened the Christians, persecuted them and by arresting them put them in prison,
this man was wicked and insulting of the Church of Christ.
 
Men with bad intentions wake up every day thinking about doing the
evil to certain people, they are people of influence and they use it for evil
meanwhile they go on the road many of them do not know that they are chasing others
but that there is a powerful God who persecutes them (Acts 9: 3-4)

Who are you Lord? Acts 9: 5
The great Saul the persecutor and reviler of the church stood face to face,
bare face with the Lord and defender of the early church.
Who are you Lord? Many today ask that same question, because they are
people who have not yet understood God's call for their life and
They manage to find Purpose and keep chasing innocent people who their only
sin is preaching the risen Christ.

What do you want me to do? God is looking for men and women like Saul
that when He comes out on the road they can say what do you want me to do? There are
Saulos who do not want to become Paul do not want to be used by God because
They continue to live a life without Purpose in this time, the best thing that could happen to them
It was for Saul that that light appeared on the road that brought into his life a
personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ.

When you recognize that voice and you know who it is that loves you then he will tell you
where you should go and what you should do. (Acts 9: 6)

When a man understands his call he is no longer called as he used to be
God changes the name that Saul now called Paul. When you call
Paul you understand your calling, you walk with purpose, you find your destiny
(Heaven) What is the name of the adversity that you are living that has made you lose
Purpose? (1 Corinthians 4: 11-14)

Suffering, pain, anguish, or persecution cause some Christians
lose Purpose in their life and even direction and all this leads them to abandon the
ranks of the body of Christ, in recent times many are losing
Purpose for the aforementioned.

When in your life there is an identity that you are a son and that God is your father
no suffering will separate you from God's Purpose for your life (2 Cor. 11: 17-27)

Discouragement is the enemy's deadliest weapon in the life of the believer.

The power of faith is in believing what I believe, faith is being determined in something that
I believe, Paul before his encounter with Christ was determined in what
towards when he met on the road with that light and that voice his
determination was greater because after chasing others they chased him
others, after silencing others who did not preach Christ, now he announced to
others of the risen Christ.

Have you ever wondered why your call is not understood?
 
Have you ever wondered why you lost your first love?

What happened to you on the way that made you lose Purpose?

The word maintains, the prayer supports you, the Apostle Paul influenced all his
environment and even two continents because the challenges exposed their character
(Thought, Ideas, and Attitude) Challenges expose my character, the real me
It arises in the midst of challenges and that is where my character is perfected.

God's desire is that you understand your calling in the midst of any challenge
that you are living today or that you can live tomorrow.

For a moment close your eyes and examine your ways as they are before God
and acknowledge before Him if you have not yet understood your call from God for your
lifetime.

When I am absorbed by men, I will think like men
When I am absorbed by God, I will think as God thinks.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

INVINCIBLES TO DEATH
EXODUS 1: 11-13, 15-16

 
Do not think that the subject of this chapter is heresy, let me explain
because we are invincible to death through the Bible we will study many
testimonies of characters who were exposed to death but did not die
because there was in them a desire for God "Purpose" and when there is a Purpose neither
death can touch us as long as the Purpose of God is not fulfilled.

Psalm 138: 8 "Jehovah will fulfill his Purpose in me."

God's hand is manifested in favor of those who have been chosen to
a mission in this life, Moses was born in a time when his people were under
oppression and where the birth of male children was at risk as there were
a death decree on those boys. (Exodus 1:16)

Exposed to death. Exodus 2: 1-6
Many children died at this time but Moses was released from the spirit of
death that was upon the Israelites who were under yoke in Egypt, in the life
we may find ourselves exposed to death but when there is a purpose
about our life we ​​are invincible to death, that child was born with the Purpose
to be the deliverer of the people of Israel due to that no circumstance of
danger could take his life.

Exposed to death by family members. Genesis 37: 1-5, 11
This biblical account shows us a difficult and critical process in the life of a young man from
seventeen years that he lived a process that he did not want or deserve but that he had to
living it was exposed to death by his eleven brothers which they tried to take away
life, when there is a purpose God will use a Ruben in your life.
 
Genesis 37: 18-22. Ruben intercedes for his younger brother Jose not to
kill and that prevents Jose's death but does not prevent the bitter pill of being separated
of his parents and even of his brothers, his brothers despised him but Jose
they did not, because the colored tunic made by their father Jacob meant that the
He was the youngest son and the spoiled of his father according to the Jewish tradition of that
era, they took off his colored robe and tore it and sprinkled it with blood to
fake your death. (The tunic symbolizes the vestments of Jesus Christ that were
removed and distributed by the Romans).

They may remove your tunic but they will not remove God's favor

Jose went through a difficult process, he was sold by his brothers to be a slave in
Egypt, being in Egypt, he became the servant of the officer Potiphar. (Genesis 39: 1)

Serving Potiphar, his wife set her eyes on Joseph and this complicated the
life of Jose taking him to jail for refusing to cost with the wife of
Potiphar. (Genesis 39: 7-20)

This young man was exposed to death then he was taken to jail as a
delinquent but in all this bitter process there was a desire for God (Purpose)
for his life, if God had asked Jose are you going to be governor in Egypt
but you will be separated from your parents, your brothers will try to kill you, you will be
slave in Egypt, and then you will be imprisoned, it is likely that Joseph would have told
Jehovah God, you better find someone else.

God will never tell us our future but he will keep us to be
fulfill God's future in us (Purpose) Genesis 41: 37-42
José came out of the well to the palace, death could not touch him because he would be the next
governor of Egypt.

When there is a Purpose in your life, neither the giant nor your enemy kills you.
1 Samuel 17: 41-46, 49-50
The story mentions David as a young man and as the youngest of his brothers.
Some writings say that David was looked down upon by his older brothers and
This is why they isolated him from them, when God sets his eyes on you even
others despise you, God is counting on you and he will make you king before them.

David was a shepherd he was not a soldier trained as the warriors of the
Israel's army the only preparation he had was that he had faced the bear and
the lion in the past. (1 Samuel 17:36)

About David there was a Purpose of God for his life and the giant could not kill
David because God's Purpose had already been announced to his family.
(1 Samuel 16: 11-13)
 
Just as Goliath did not kill David, no giant will touch your life.

Neither the giant nor the spear will stop God's Purpose in your life.
1 Samuel 18: 10-12, 1 Samuel 19: 1-2

CHAPTER FOURTEEN
 
DO NOT DIE WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING YOUR PURPOSE
LUKE 23: 39-43

 
In this last chapter of this manual I want to close with the last message from
Jesus Christ to his two listeners in the last meeting still humanized, where his
scene would be the cross and the place where it would seal the salvation of all those who
we would believe in HIM.

The Biblical account says: that that man insulted him, let's see the meaning of the
word to injure: Heb. galal, curse. Gr. Antiloidero, respond with a curse,
blasphemous, vituperative.// Abusive or insulting language.

This man who cursed Jesus symbolizes humanity to those people
who do not find Purpose in the most critical moments of their life, are
people who have walked their whole lives without direction and found no Purpose
even in the agony of their soul, they are those who do not regret their evils and
of their sins and by their sinful condition they revile all those who have
a faith in God. This man did not want to recognize who he had next to him and
He wasted the opportunity of his life, rather he made fun of Christ.

The saddest thing that a human being can live is not wanting to recognize their condition
of sin and not accepting that you need Christ in your life. He had on par with him
Messiah announced, to the son of God, the prophecy made flesh and by his pride
I despise the savior of the world.

Proverbs 14:12, “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is
way of death. "

Pride is something that is destroying humanity today, many
people every day have the opportunity to hear a word of salvation but the
despise how this man on the cross know their sinful condition, but they
they refuse to acknowledge that they need inner repentance.

The other man of the cross. Luke 23: 40-42
This other man represents those people who being in their condition of
sin recognize their need to change their life through repentance and
recognize Jesus Christ, if a virtue pleases God of us is to be
sincere with yourself and recognize a being superior to which we all need
to live and walk on this earth with Purpose. God is looking for men and
women who recognize their condition in good weather, as in good weather
critical.
Luke 5:31 “Jesus answering said to them: Those who are healthy have no
need a doctor but the sick. "
 
The first man (thief) was spiritually ill that he was by side
of Jesus was not a coincidence it was a Purpose for him to be saved as was his
partner but he did not want to recognize neither his condition nor his need and this
led to die an eternity without Christ, there is nothing sadder in this life than
go to the grave without finding Purpose in this life the chance of salvation was
for the two not just for one, but this man did not want to take that salvation that
only Jesus gives.

Hebrews 9:27 "And in a manner that is established for men to die
once, and after that the trial. "

Not everything ends in death. "There is an after" that awaits us, you already thought which
will be his after? And that after no longer depends on Christ, but on each of
us, finding Purpose in this life is an individual matter that leads us to
find a destiny towards an eternity in Christ Jesus.

Find your Purpose. Luke 23:43
To this man Jesus answered: “Desert I tell you that today you will be with me in the
paradise."

Jesus did not answer the offenses to the other, he answered the request to the humble one who
recognized that Jesus was not like them Jesus did not waste time or in the last
moments of his life with this man but if he gave the promise to
recognized as your savior, if you are in a critical condition today, or
of physical or spiritual agony today is a good time to acknowledge your condition
and recognizing Jesus as your savior is an opportunity for repentance for
your life.

Do not ask why, but why this happened to me, what was the Purpose for what
that this happened to me in my life, many people in the middle of the crisis become
that question, why to me? Everything that happens to us has a purpose that
It will lead to something positive in life.

Remember do not go to the grave without finding your Purpose in this life and inheriting
to yours a direction towards an eternity in Christ Jesus.

"The saddest thing that can happen to a human being is to go to an eternity without
Jesus Christ."
