Life Purpose

STUDY GUIDE

“Until your desire to become you matches God’s desire for you to become you, you will never become who God intended you to be”

How passionate are you to see God’s purposes come to fruition in your life?

How aggressively are you pursuing the knowledge of God and His will for your life?

How desperate are you to locate that for which your life
has been called upward in Christ (Phil 3:12)?

Are you “pressing towards the goal to win the prize to which Christ Jesus is calling you upward?”

You will never see your potential maximized until there is a grabbing hold of destiny in your heart. You will never become the you God intended until you get serious about knowing Him and knowing His will. Jesus said that “the violent take the kingdom by force”

(Matt 11:12).

This violence is similar to the aggressiveness of a baby in the birth canal that is ready to start living life. You have got to mean business about serving the purposes of God in this generation, and get your priorities in line if you want to find that life that gives significance.

Chapter 7

You’ve Been On My Mind

1. It has been stated in the book that “the problem with many of God’s people is not that they do not know His plans and purpose for their life , but that they are unwilling to be obedient and pay the price to fulfill it.” Do you believe that is an accurate statement? Why?

2. What tools does God have at His command, and use, to help us to know His will?

3. What does the author mean when he says that the cost of disobedience is always higher than the price of obedience?

4. Knowing who we are (identity) and what we are supposed to do (purpose) starts with knowing God. How do we know that God wants to be known and can be known?

5. How do we know that, even if we have lost sight of God’s will, God has not lost sight of His will concerning us?
