Set Apart for Significance: The True Meaning of Holy

lastwordrecovery
Glowing footprints light a winding trail through a serene meadow at dusk

Have the people make themselves holy for me. Tell them, ‘Set yourselves apart to the Lord.’

(Joshua 7:13)

The word holy has often been mistakenly used for someone who is grim, dutiful, and devout; one who maintains a high standard of pious behavior and has little patience for those who don’t.

However, in several scriptural passages, the word holy is defined as that which is uncommon or extraordinary.

You have been declared holy by the Creator of the Universe. God has stated that your existence is extraordinary, and your life is far from common.

There is significance in everything that you do. There is nothing ordinary or common about you.

You are holy. You are wisdom. You are free to talk openly with your Creator. Your life in Christ is a spring of living water, making ripple effects on the world around you.

Every place your feet touch becomes sacred ground, because you carry the Creator of Life within you.

The significant impact you make during your years on earth will pale in comparison to the lasting effect imprinted on the planet because you walked here.

Find Your Purpose: It’s Never Too Late

lastwordrecovery

Moses was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83, when they spoke to the king.

(Exodus 7:7)

Like Moses and Aaron, you understand that it is never too late to start a new venture. When God reveals a fresh assignment, you know He will make a way for you to see it through to completion.

On some days your work is beautiful and clear, but other days, not so much. During the foggy days you rely on the mercy of God and your own personal tenacity to power through.

Like Moses and Aaron, you may not always understand what you’re doing or if it will succeed. But you know that God has a plan and the best place to be, is right in the middle of it!

When you become discouraged or tired from the strain, you remind yourself to be grateful for your call. You know that the Creator of the Universe designed you with a divine purpose in mind. No matter how risky or overwhelming your call may be, there is eternal significance in everything you do.

Christ took hold of you so that you can take hold of the destiny which is yours. You are bringing freedom to the people in your circle of influence. 

 You may wonder if the task will ever be completed or if the wandering will ever end. Yet, you remain patient knowing that God has a plan and He has deemed you a worthy partner to make it happen.

Understanding Your Role as a Prayer Warrior

lastwordrecovery

Samuel said, “I will pray to the Lord for you.”

(1 Samuel 7:5)

You are often asked to pray for others. You are known as a prayer warrior. Friends, family, and acquaintances come to you with their needs, asking you to pray on their behalf.

Sometimes, you receive a prayer request from the Holy Spirit because an intercessor is needed to pray it through. This appeal comes to you as an inner urgency, placed there by God Himself.

You don’t always understand why you wake up in the middle of the night with a news story from across the world, replaying in your mind. All you know is that you must pray.

Other times, prayers are requested by those who know how powerful your prayers are and how seriously you take this responsibility.

Ironically, your most powerful battles on the spiritual front coincides with times when you are unable to function at full physical capacity. A lack of physical strength has no bearing on the results you produce in the spiritual realm.

Discovering Your Worth: The Importance of Being Uniquely You

lastwordrecovery

“And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, He will certainly care for you.”

(Matthew 6:30)

In a world of competition and comparisons, you sometimes wonder if your value is measured by what you do, rather than by who you are.

This is a concern for many human beings. Some struggle to do more, or to be better in order to feel significant.  Others think that genetics, money, talent, or fame will make them feel important. Sadly, these beliefs prove to be worthless.

Knowing that you are handmade by the Creator of the Universe assures you of your value. Since you are so special to God, He designed you in a uniquely wonderful way. Before your mother even knew you existed, God was already weaving together the strands of your DNA.

Imagine His excitement as He  selected your eye color, your voice tone, and your sense of humor! He gave you a passion for family, friendship, and community.

He infused you with a high level of curiosity and creativity. He placed within you, specific gifts and talents which you are just beginning to discover.

Your value is far beyond what you do or say. You are much more important than your background, achievements or awards.

You are a person with a destiny; designed by the God of the galaxies.

You play an important role in the future of humanity. Each day you spend on this planet becomes a  significant part of history.

God knows the value of your distinctive human spirit. He knows that your heart is filled with compassion, determination, and enthusiasm. He has given you a mind, body, and temperament which are ideal for your journey.

Long before anyone knew you, God was sketching out a plan; designing you perfectly for the destiny that would be yours. He chose you as His own, and He will be your God forever.

“The people found Jesus on the other side of the lake.”

(John 6:25 )

You recognize the clues to your destiny which come to you from Jesus. Your imagination is the canvass on which He paints the portrait of your future.

You have been given special assignments, but you are unable to understand them until you identify Jesus in the details.

You find Jesus to be a loyal and devoted friend, defending you and keeping you from danger.

You look for Him when you feel lonely, scared, angry or hurt. You look for Him when you can’t find your way. You look for Him when you feel insecure or uncertain of your worth.

You also look for Him when you experience an abundance of joy and just need to express it.

You credit Him for the way you have been made whole and your gratitude spills over into heartfelt praise.

And just as the people in this gospel story found Jesus on the other side of the lake, you too will find Him waiting, when it’s your time to cross over.

Empowered by Faith: How God’s Blessing Fuels Success

lastwordrecovery

“May the Lord bless you and keep you.” (Numbers 6:24)

Being blessed by God, means you have been empowered to succeed.

The fear of failure may drift through your thoughts when you take on a project you feel inadequate to manage but knowing that you have been empowered to succeed by the Creator of the universe, you set aside your fears and face each challenge head-on.

Having been blessed by God, you see His supernatural power at work in all your efforts.

You realize that He is able and willing to make a success out of everything – even the things you thought were failures.

Empowered to succeed, you rise each day with a fresh enthusiasm to find your divine assignment and fulfill it to your best ability.

Sometimes your successes do not appear all that successful at first. There are times that your initial attempts at success may look a lot like failures.

But you live by faith, not by sight, so you do not view failure as the end, but rather, the beginning of a new approach.

“With our own eyes we saw Him work miracles and do terrifying things to our oppressors.” (Deuteronomy 6:22)

Assured that the Creator of the Universe is interested in what happens to those who are harmed by human injustices, you remain alert to any violation of basic human rights.

You often cry out to God about this particular aspect of the human condition. You pursue all peaceful paths available to you in order to eliminate its ugly presence in society.

In answer to your passionate prayers, the Commander of Angel Armies, is empowering other individuals who will help you advance your cause and shed light on the social injustices which have plagued society for centuries.

No human will be able to stand against His plan. Justice will be served, and honor will be given where honor is due.
