It's Time To Fulfill Your Destiny! By Becky Porter
Over
the last week the Lord has been speaking to me through bird parables.
One morning when I opened the blinds and looked out the window, I saw a
beautiful red-breasted robin. I immediately heard the Lord say, "You
are pregnant with destiny." A day or two later, as soon as I looked out
the window, I again saw a red breasted robin, and this time it had a
large red breast, and it indeed looked like it was pregnant! As it flew
away, I heard the Lord say, "It's time to fulfill your destiny. Spread
your wings and fly, My beloved!" Two days ago, the Lord brought a
beautiful tiny yellow bird to sit on our window ledge. It was pecking
away at something it found to eat on the ledge, (and I wondered how food
could have appeared on the ledge, and then I thought of how God fed the
Children of Israel manna in the desert). I watched with great delight as the colorful and precious little bird pecked at food
that was so small I could not see it, and then every few moments it
would throw its little head back and sing the most beautiful and anointed song! It was very clear that the bird was very happy and
content and did not have any cares or concerns, and its needs were very
obviously being met!
The Lord immediately reminded me of a prophetic song He gave me years ago:
"Don't
worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself, for if I
can take care of the lilies, the birds of the air and the trees, I can
certainly take care of you and tend to every one of your needs, for I AM
your faithful father, a faithful friend indeed, and no matter what your
care or concern I will meet every one of your needs."
I heard the Lord say:
" I provided water from a rock and manna from heaven for the Children of
Israel, and their clothes never wore out, how much more will I provide
for you?"
Then,
yesterday when I looked out the window, I saw a beautiful red cardinal,
and I also saw a hawk with beautiful markings, and they looked like
they were well taken care of, and they all looked very content and
peaceful. It is a very unusual occurrence to see a red bird, a yellow
bird and a hawk all in the same week - we have lived in this house for a number of years and I don't remember ever seeing those particular birds in our
yard, so I know God is indeed highlighting some very specific messages
this week.
Impression: God has been telling us
that it is time to fulfill our destiny in Him. This is wonderful news
and it causes us to get very excited and to rejoice, but we do not know
what God will require of us for this to occur. Sometimes God may ask us
to quit our job and sell our home and move across country, (which would
be very scary for most of us), or He may ask us to step out in faith in
another area of our lives and face our fears and do something else that
is very uncomfortable for our flesh. Throughout the Bible, we see that
when God called a man or woman to do something for Him, it was usually
something they did not feel comfortable or capable of doing in their own
strength, and obedience and great faith and trust in God were required
of them. They had to walk by faith and not by sight, and they had to
hold on tightly to God, walking hand in hand with Him every step of the
way. As we step out in faith and obedience to fulfill our destiny, God
is encouraging us to trust Him, no matter what we see, feel, or hear.
I hear the Lord saying:
You can do all things through Me. Don't look at the giants in the
land, but keep your eyes fastened on Me! Don't look left and don't look
right, but keep Me in your sight. Set your face like flint, and don't
let anything distract you, hinder you, trip you up or slow you down. My
grace is sufficient for you - in Me everything you need will be found.
Sometimes I will ask you to do things that are very uncomfortable for
your flesh, but trust Me in spite of your feelings, because you will be
very pleased with the end result. Sometimes it may feel as if you are
jumping out of an airplane, or walking into a den of lions, but know
that I AM with you and I will never leave you, nor forsake you, but I
will walk hand in hand with you every step of the way. No foe or storm
is greater than I AM, and nothing catches Me off guard. I simply use
those things as part of the process of getting you where you need to
go. Sometimes those who come against you, are actually acting like
sheep dogs to help guide you in the right direction when you get off
course! Don't listen to the lies of the enemy - I have a perfect plan
for your life, and I know exactly what I AM doing! Together, we will
fulfill the purpose and plan that I created you for!
Jeremiah 29:11 NIV For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Psalm 139:13-16 ESV For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your
eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of
them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of
them.
Deuteronomy 8:2-4 NKJV And you shall remember that the Lord your
God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble
you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep
His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to
hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your
fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by
bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of
the Lord. Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.
