Get ready for a stirring T.D. Jakes sermon that will help you focus on your purpose and see opportunity in your adversity.
In his message, “Don’t Let the Chatter Stop You,” T.D. Jakes uses the life of Moses to illustrate how God uses both our ups and downs to lead us into our destiny.
Moses didn’t just step into his God-ordained purpose. He had a long and difficult road, one filled with conflict and confusion. He was born a Hebrew but raised as an Egyptian. When he finally felt compelled to choose sides, the Hebrews rejected him, and he was run out of town.
T.D. Jakes points out that the fight between the Egyptian and Hebrew slave where Moses intervened represents his own internal conflict -- a conflict between who he was born to be and how he was raised. Moses felt sure that he was doing what he was supposed to do, yet he faced major obstacles and pushback.
We, too, may often feel unsettled when we’re following what we believe is our God-given purpose and run into conflict. But these bumps in the road don’t necessarily mean we’re doing the wrong thing. It might just be the wrong time. As T.D. Jakes says, “You can be anointed but not appointed.”
T.D. Jakes also tells us that God intends blessing. In fact, we are already blessed. It doesn’t matter if our present reality doesn’t reflect our vision and destiny. We might not see the big picture, but God knows each step of our life’s path.
Believe in the vision God has shown you. Endure. Stay focused on your purpose. Opportunities and blessings are already waiting for you.
