Many of us as we are born in this world, do not foresee our God given futures. It is as we seek for God that these things that are spiritual are revealed, unto us. To give us an ideal of our belonging, as to what we are to do in life, according to Gods divine will, for our life. Many of Gods Children are walking in life aimlessly, not knowing what to do for God, yet God is waiting, on you to begin to pray and call upon His name then He will reveal these things unto you. That you will find your God given spiritual path, from God Himself, so you will know your destiny in this life, as a labor for God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Romans 8:28-30. God's Children need to realize that God has already laid out a spiritual plan, for every Child of God. All a Child of God needs to do, is to begin to search for God, to reveal His will unto you. God gives us grace to learn things, according to His divine will, for our life, it is truly up to you to go and pray, until God manifest, His calling unto you as a Child of God, in need of the Fathers detained purposed, for you in this life. When Gods Word teaches us about being predestined, He is telling all of His Church, of His divine plan for our future, as we are the first born, among many breather and the Children that has come in, by adoption in Christ Jesus. This being Gods plan in the Word of God, to teach us all, that He has a detained plan for our life. It is for you to call on God for understanding, for His Spirit to reveal unto you now, Gods divine will and plan for your future, as the Spirit makes known unto you your calling in life. Many of Gods Children never get to this point, in their life, for the Holy Spirit, to reveal and manifest their callings and gifts unto them, to be spiritually taught, to know their calling in Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior. However God has predestined for you to grow to know these things. Listen to what the apostle Paul's prayer said unto the Church. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God... Ephesians 2:15-19. God's Word teaches us to know things, according to His will and His plan, for you in this life. It is up to you to call on God for Him to reveal His will unto you, as a Child of God. God is awaiting on His Children to learn to call upon His name, to have your callings and gifts revealed and manifested, unto you, then you will learn of your destiny in life, according to Gods will, for you, in life. God has brought this unto my remembrance several times, as I have been writing. That He has already called many of His Children and you are already aware of what you are to do in life, as far as knowing what your calling is or that you have had a spiritual gift manifested unto you, by the Holy Spirit, your spiritual teacher. What God wants for you to do, is to begin to pray for, understanding and He will give it unto you. There are some of Gods other Children that are not so faithful that He is not so pleased with you. Many already know your calling and are not trying to do anything, to work towards your future at all, to walk out Gods will for your
About the Author: My name is Pastor Luke L. Chapman. I haven't always been a preacher, quite the contrary. When I was a young teenager everyone always said: "Boy what a good kid Luke is. He is a wonderful young man." Because of a stepfather that had no love for me, my clothes were packed for me and placed on the front porch on Christmas morning. Arrangements were already made for a near friend to pick me up to take me to my real dad's home. This became a cycle unto me. I learned soon to take flight in life, realizing I'm on my own. I was kicked out of school for truancy, failure to want to go to school and to learn. This started a foundation for my life, for my ongoing future. My new friends taught me how to smoke, drink, and cuss and to tell lies. I graduated to smoking weed and using cocaine. I never drank or used cocaine on a regular basis. I just started on weekends or invited parties. I got married and had a Child when I was 21 years old. But, with a lifestyle of drinking, spending money in bars and not on bills or in my home, I soon went through a divorce. Does this sound familiar, like today's youths? At this time, now I'm remarried my wife and I are both cocaine addicts. My wife smoked weed? I sold weed and cocaine to supply our habits. My wife left me one day. I was arrested the same day and put in jail. In jail, I bowed my knees on the floor in my cell. I was the only one there that day. I called upon Jesus and was saved and sent to North Central Correctional Institution. I never thought anyone cared. But I was so wrong. What was meant for evil for me, God changed for the good. Prison became My Bible College. Prison was where God counseled me about my morals. God taught me about being a good husband, a good father unto my Children and how a preacher must live and act. I served six and a half years in prison to learn not do use drugs, not to walk through life aimlessly. I learned my lesson. God raised me up to be a preacher in prison. Prison was my lifesaver. Wow, what a statement one might say! The reason prison was my lifeline was I could have graduated to the other side of life... Six Feet Down. I almost did! I had a heart attack, just before I was sent to prison, from smoking crack cocaine. I almost died. Your Friend... The Harley Davidson Preacher Man Luke L. Chapman Gods Vision...
