School of Purpose - Part 2

Welcome to episode 2 of School of Purpose. Our desire is that you might hear this teaching not just as gathering information, but rather as the Father’s invitation to enter into your destiny.

We cannot talk about purpose without first talking about identity. Your works do not give you identity, your identity gives you works! Out of your identity flows your assignment.

2 things that contribute to the formation of your identity which leads to purpose:

1- Eternal identity: Your eternal identity doesn’t change with seasons. Once you are adopted as a son of God in Christ Jesus, you partake of His identity. Our eternal identity is derived by our relationship with Jesus Christ.

2- Functional identity: Your functional identity is decided by where God places you in the body of Christ. Your function is decided by God and is connected to the community God places you in. That location is where you are allowed to shine, and those around you compliment you. Your functional identity is never individual, because we serve a God of families. We exist in the Body to serve God and the members in the Body. Ex: Joseph’s elevation was to sustain his family as well as to glorify God. In order to understand your purpose you must learn to discern the Body and where you are placed.

The company you choose will decide your destiny. By association, you can either participate in grace or curses. 1/3 of the angels in Heaven partook in the punishment of Lucifer because they chose his company over God’s. As children of God, we are enjoying the benefits and merits of Jesus because we chose His company. Identity is directly connected to the relationships you form.

If your desire is to walk into your purpose then discern the Body of Christ, investigate where you have been placed, and begin to shine!
