Thank you again for coming out today. I'd like to start with something funny.

A woman was on an airplane reading her Bible. The man next to her said, you don't believe all that stuff in there, do you?

She said, of course I do. It's the Bible. He said, well, what about that guy that was swallowed by the well?

She said, you mean Jonah? Yes, I believe that too. He said, well, how could he possibly survive all that time inside a well?

She thought about it a moment and said, I don't know. When I get to heaven, I'll have to ask him.

He said sarcastically, well, what if he's not in heaven? She smiled and said, then you're going to have to ask him.

All right. Hold your Bibles up. Let's say it together. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus name.

God bless you. You sound great as usual. We've been talking about making the most of our time.

I want to focus today on the importance of knowing your purpose and then taking steps to fulfill that purpose.

You have a divine destiny. You're not an accident. God saw you before you were ever even born.

And he's put gifts and talents in you. He's given you ideas and creativity. There's something that you can excel at.

You have all this potential on the inside, but it's not going to do you any good unless you start tapping into it.

And too many people today are not really fulfilled. They're just going to work, trying to make a living, stuck in a job they don't even like.

Not pursuing the dreams and desires that God's put in their heart. And as long as we're not moving toward our God-given destiny, there will always be a sense of dissatisfaction on the inside.

And I can't think of anything more tragic than to come to the end of your life and realize that you have not become all God created you to be.
