Nothing will be impossible with God.

Paul’s new name was a sign of his personal sense of destiny.

This is when the justice of God is free to release our escrow blessings for time, and then rewards us in the eternal state.

There are seven categories of blessing in the package:
Spiritual, Temporal, Association, Historical, Undeserved Suffering, Dying, and Surpassing.

1. Spiritual blessings.

These include sharing the happiness of God and occupation with Christ as maximum category one love (toward God).

He has grace orientation, freedom orientation, authority orientation, common sense, and a total sense of security whether in prosperity or disaster.

2. Temporal blessings.

Material wealth, physical health, professional prosperity, social prosperity, sexual prosperity, mental prosperity, cultural prosperity, and establishment prosperity.

3. Blessings by association.

Those around a mature believer are blessed by their association or relationship with that person.

4. Historical blessings.

5. Undeserved suffering.

Undeserved suffering is also used by God to keep our eyes on Him and our focus on eternity.

6. Dying grace blessings.

For the mature believer, the curse of death with its pain and fear is removed.

Dying becomes the greatest experience in life.

The mature believer has the best of life, greater blessing in dying, and better than the best for all eternity.

PSA 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones.

7. Surpassing grace blessings at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

Surpassing grace is the ultimate in spiritual achievement. It is the point of maximum blessing and reward, and the ultimate in glorifying TLJC.

Surpassing grace is the status of special blessings and rewards in eternity for the believer who has broken the maturity barrier in time.

You cannot love God unless you know God.

Abraham will always have his eyes on the Giver, and therefore will not only enjoy the gift, but also have the security of loving the Giver.

Abraham and Sarah finally realized a personal sense of destiny, and the first thing they encountered was a test: sexual death.

But a personal sense of destiny never looks at life from the standpoint of human failure or impossibility.

With a personal sense of destiny, Abraham knew that God never works through dead things. Therefore he submitted willingly to circumcision when God gave the commission to Abraham in GEN 17:10-11.

Abraham’s personal sense of destiny looked forward to the future and the grace of God related to living in a resurrection body, and in a new earth and a new universe.

1. Divine Justice releasing divine power is the problem solver of life.

2. If God can solve Abram’s hopeless problem, He can solve your problems whether they are hopeless or not. There is no such thing as a problem in life that has no solution.

Abram had achieved a measure of spiritual growth and was now ready to venture out and live in his personal sense of destiny.

If you live in your personal sense of destiny, you will have to overcome a lot of facts and odds that seem to be against you.

MAT 19:26 And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
