your divine assignment

Introduction

Are you fully committed to God’s divine assignment for you?

(NOTE: You can scroll to the bottom to watch today’s sermon.)

Over the past couple of weeks, we have been taking a look at being a vessel of God . From those sermons, we know that as a vessel of the Lord, God will use us for His higher plans and His higher purposes. We have seen how in the Old Testament, God used man to teach and to prophecy to one another. We have also seen in the New Testament, that the Lord still desires to use every last one of His children for the purpose of ministering to those around them.

In His Great Commission, we see Jesus say to those that would choose to follow after Him, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you ( Mark 16:15; Matt. 28:19-20 ).” So, again, it is very clear to us that God’s higher plans and purposes for us is to minister to and make believers of all people.

Now, how the Lord uses us to carry out His divine assignment is unique (meaning personalized) to each of His children. Again, some He uses to preach the word and some He uses to sing so that they may uplift the spirits of others. Some the Lord may use to testify of their journey, and others He may use in the work of charity. God uses us as He sees fit.

Yet, I tell you that there are times when some of us have reservations (concerns) as to how we are being used by the Lord. Some of us question how the Lord is using us. We question the Lord’s motive and so, therefore, we begin to question God’s divine assignment. I want to take a look at these reservations some of us, His ‘vessels’ have and ask again today, are we truly fully committed to God’s divine assignment?

Do We Have Reservations?

I ask this question today because I truly wonder whether or not we are fully committed to being a vessel of the Lord. Scripture is filled with people who had reservations about the divine assignment the Lord had for them. Last week, I briefly mentioned Peter in my sermon and I felt compelled to preach a sermon focusing on him this week.

Peter, as you know, was one of Jesus’ twelve closest followers. Of Peter, Jesus said that He was a rock and on him, He would build His church ( Matt. 16:18 ). So, the Lord had a special plan and purpose for Peter meaning Peter would be a vessel that God would use to minister to others.

Through studying scripture during the years Jesus ministered and even after His resurrection, we see that Peter had some serious flaws. I don’t know if there is a faithful man in scripture who’s flaws and failures are put on display as much as his! Which, honestly, is very interesting because scripture usually portrays mostly the good things of those who were righteous, especially when it comes to the apostles. So, like many of us, Peter must have had many failures. I want to take a look at a few examples of Peter’s flaws for just a moment.

Scripture shows us that Peter was a bold, brash, and very impulsive man. With little hesitation, Peter brashly and impulsively cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant in the garden prior to Jesus’ arrest ( John 18:10-11 ). At another occasion, at the transfiguration of Christ, Peter, without realizing what he was saying , impulsively asked to build three tabernacles to Jesus, Moses, and Elijah ( Luke 9:33 ). At the Feast of Passover, the disciples argued among themselves who was greater ( Luke 22:24 ) and I believe it was Peter who was boldly believing himself to be greatest among the disciples.

Peter’s rebuke

Actually, it was at this feast where we see another character flaw of Peter rear its ugly head, and this flaw is an extremely dangerous flaw that we must focus on today.

To teach the apostles a lesson on what those who consider themselves to be great should do for those around them, Jesus chose to wash the apostles’ feet. This was a lesson on humility but it was also a lesson on serving others. Scripture tells us that Peter, initially, did not understand what Jesus was doing in that moment. When seeing Jesus approach to wash his feet, Peter rebuked Jesus. He eventually relented from his rebuke when Jesus told him the purpose behind washing his feet ( John 13:6-9 ).

Now that was not the first time that Peter offered this sort of rebuke to Christ and to God. Prior to His crucifixion, Jesus had been predicting his death to the disciples which really frustrated Peter. So Peter took Jesus to the side and, again, we see him rebuke what Jesus had been saying to which Jesus responded, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men ( Matt. 16:21-23 ).”

Now, I want to direct your attention back to my scripture for today in the book of Acts. By this point in time, Jesus had ascended to heaven, so Peter has had some time to grow, yet this character flaw is shown to us again. We are told that while he was on the rooftop of Simon the tanner, he ended up in a deep trance ( Acts 10:9-10 ). While in a trance, Peter saw a great sheet descend from heaven to him, and on that sheet he saw all kinds of animals. He then heard the Lord’s voice say to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat ( Acts 10:11-12 ).”

This, I want you to understand, was a direct command from God. Yet, Peter, we see, rebukes the Lord and tells Him, “Not so, Lord ( Acts 10:14 ) !” In fact, scripture tells us that this played out three times ( Acts 10:16 )! So, what was the deal with Peter? Why do we keep seeing him rebuke the Lord?

13 And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.” KEY VERSE – ACTS 10:13-14 NKJV

The Great Sin of Stubbornness

Peter could not move beyond his thoughts and feelings – he was very stubborn . This was a very great flaw that he had because as a vessel of the Lord, he was meant to be fully committed to God, yet He continued to have reservation as to what God was doing. In a way, Peter’s stubbornness was causing him to question the motives of the Lord. Where he should have been mindful of the things of God, as shown to us when he rebuked Jesus when He was predicting His death, Peter was too stuck on himself.

As a vessel of the Lord, the ideal response from Peter would have been to do as the Lord had commanded – no reservations, no hesitation, no delay. As a vessel of God, the ideal response from the believer when God has commanded us, is to do as He commands.

Something we must understand when it comes to His divine assignment, God is going to move us wherever He sees fit and use us how He pleases. We have to learn to trust in how the Lord is going to use and we must be obedient to His command without reservation, hesitation, and delay. We are certainly going to have time to do the things we desire, but when the Lord gives us a task, yes, we should drop what we are doing and put His divine assignment first! If we say we desire to be a vessel of the Lord, we should be fully committed to God’s divine assignment!

The Christian’s stubbornness

I feel like many of us actually share a lot in common with Peter in that we can be very bold, brash, and impulsive. God can direct us to wait while He works on our blessing and we will have times when we ignore His command and act on impulse. God can direct us to move as He desires and some of us are bold enough to question His direction. Some of us, in fact, will flat out rebuke the Lord’s direction because we know a better way of being in service to Him. When we do this, I want you to understand that we are saying our thoughts are better than the Lord’s thoughts.

Last week I said that there is a great sin that today’s Christian commits and that was the sin of laziness. This week, I tell you that there is another great sin that is present in today’s Christians – the sin of stubbornness . When we stay attached to our own thoughts and feelings, and are not mindful of the things of the Lord, we are showing ourselves not to be committed to Him. When God has a divine assignment for us, and we choose to rebuke it because it does not fit our thoughts and feelings, we are not being fully committed to the Lord’s plans as we have so professed.

In the first book of Samuel, when we read of King Saul’s great sin, Samuel said to Saul, “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.” This, Samuel said, indicates that spiritual stubbornness is indeed a sin.

Samuel continued, “Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king ( 1 Sam. 15:22-23 ).” When we reject the Lord in our spirit, we certainly know that we cannot enter into His heavenly kingdom. Yet, I also tell you today that in our spiritual stubbornness, we find that it can not only be detrimental to us, but it can be detrimental to all of those around us.

Keep your vow to God

Again, I tell all of you that the Lord has a divine assignment for us and it is an assignment that is going to take us in directions that we could have never imagined. The Lord’s divine assignment may have us go through some things that we never could have imagined. God may have us speak to and minister to people that we may have never imagined speaking to and ministering to. We cannot be a detriment to the Lord and to those around us because of our own personal thoughts and feelings – this is a sin. We certainly should not do this if we have said that we desire to be a vessel of God for His special plans and purposes in our heart.

When we have said that we desire to be a vessel of the Lord, I want you to understand that we have made a commitment (a vow) to God in our heart! Making a vow to the Lord is very important.

I want to direct your attention to the book of Ecclesiastes for a moment. Solomon wrote, “When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed—Better not to vow than to vow and not pay. Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands? For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God ( Eccl. 5:4-7 ).”

You see, when we have taken a vow to be a vessel of God, we ought to stand by this commitment. God expects us to stand by that vow! I want you to understand that God desires to use a vessel that is fully committed to His divine assignment! God is not going to use anybody who is going to half step when it comes to His divine assignment. If you have said that you want to be used for the Lord’s special plans and purposes, then you must be all in and not one foot in.

Commitment Check

I tell you today that it is commitment check time for all of those that desire to be a vessel of the Lord. I believe that all of God’s children desire to be a vessel of His so I tell you today that it is commitment check time for all of God’s children – all of those who are true worshipers and genuinely believe in Him.

Peter’s divine assignment

I want to quickly turn our attention back to Peter for just a moment because he underwent a commitment check in the book of Acts. While he contemplated the vision he saw in his trance, a commitment check came knocking on the door. Three men from Cornelius, a gentile man that served as a centurion in the Italian Regiment, arrived at Simon the tanner’s house ( Acts 10:1 ). We are told that they were there because an angel of God told Cornelius to reach out to Peter about his faith ( Acts 10:4-8, 30-33 ).

Cornelius is described in scripture as a devout man who feared the Lord ( Acts 10:2 ). He was the first of many gentiles who would become a genuine follower of Christ. I want you to understand that this was one of Peter’s divine assignments from God – to minister to Cornelius, therefore, to all other gentiles as well.

We know that this was a divine assignment because the Spirit said to Peter while he was still on the rooftop, “Go down and go with them, doubting nothing ; for I have sent them ( Acts 10:20 ).” So, now was not the time for Peter to have any reservations or rebuke about how the Lord was about to use him. Now was not the time for Peter to be stubborn in his ways!

When Peter arrived at Cornelius’ residence, he found not only was Cornelius present but that all of Cornelius’ relatives and close friends were also present ( Acts 10:24 ). Peter entered the residence and initially remarked, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean ( Acts 10:28 ).”

Peter continued, “But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me ( Acts 10:28-29 )?”

So, the check was to see if Peter had learned his lesson from the trance. A lesson, I believe, was more about being obedient and committed to following the Lord’s command than the food. Peter could have chosen to rebuke the Spirit and not have gone to Cornelius but we see Peter ultimately learned to put aside his stubbornness. We see that he committed himself to the task and was mindful that God was at work on His higher plans and purposes. Peter recognized that he was meant for something far higher than his own thoughts and plans!

Committed to the Lord

On that day, scripture tells us that the Holy Spirit fell upon all of those who Peter had ministered to. You see, we are meant for something far higher than our own feelings, thoughts, and plans. We are meant to help build, establish, and add to the kingdom of God. The thought never leaves my mind on what happens when we, in our stubbornness, become a detriment to those around us. The only thing stubbornness does is hold us back and keep us from growing.

As genuine believers, we have to be mindful and also be able to acknowledge when we are being a spiritual detriment to those around us because we do not want to hold them back from the heavenly gates. To be stubborn spiritually, is as detrimental as it is to be lazy spiritually with the same end results. If we have made our vow to be in service to the Lord, let us truly submit our will for God’s will and let us fully commit ourselves to God’s divine assignment.

Thought: The Obedient Sheep of God

Understanding Your Divine Assignment

Understanding Your Divine Assignment is the devotion for today . It’s designed to help you dig into God’s Word, spend time with the One who created you, and let Jesus invade your life.

Bible Verse for Today

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

Devotion for Today

God’s plans for us aren’t random or haphazard. They are part of a divine blueprint, meticulously designed and perfectly suited for each one of us.

Ephesians 2:10 holds a beautiful truth about who we are and what we’re here to do. It tells us we are God’s masterpiece, His handiwork, created with intention and purpose in Christ Jesus.

The divine assignment mentioned here isn’t about grand gestures or monumental tasks. It’s about the ‘good works’ God has prepared for us, the ways He wants us to serve and love others, the unique contribution He wants us to make to His Kingdom. These works were set in motion long before we were born, awaiting our arrival.

We don’t have to scramble or strive to find these works; instead, we ‘walk in them’. As we draw closer to God, as we listen to His voice and follow His guidance, we naturally step into the path He has laid out for us.

This understanding can give us confidence and courage. We don’t have to doubt our worth or question our purpose.

We are God’s handiwork, designed for a specific purpose. Each day brings new opportunities to fulfill our divine assignment, to do the good works God has prepared for us.

Heather Hart is the founder of Devotion for Today and has written over two dozen books, including "Candid Moments: God is Good, Even When the Struggle is Real." Her goal isn’t to tell others how to do more, be better, or achieve perfection, it’s to point them to Jesus. After all, life is hard, but God is good.

What’s Your Divine Assignment?

I’m asking you who clicked on this post to stop and ask yourself, “What’s my divine assignment?”

You may not know what this means, but through this post, I hope to give you some insight as to what that is and how you can figure out what your divine assignment is.

You may have stopped and Googled what this means and this is what comes up through Google.

In a nutshell, I would say that: Your divine assignment is doing what God wants you to do; having what God wants you to have; going where God wants you to go and then becoming who God ultimately wants you to become which is Christ-like.

We ALL have a divine assignment, but it’s up to us to figure out what that is. You might be thinking to yourself, “Jess, how am I suppose to know this and how do I figure this out?” For some of us, the answer is easy and for some of us it will take some soul searching. Why? Because we are evolving creatures. We are always changing and as we change, it is up to us to prioritize exploring the new facets of ourselves which will help lead us to our divine assignment.

I would say in the last five years I have evolved into an entirely different person, a person I am SO VERY proud of! Getting to know this new person and experiencing these changes I will not talk about lightly because the WORK I had to put in took everything out of me, BUT the what I received was so incredibly worth it.

I will not sugar coat this, I see people everyday and have had people in my life who have absolutely no idea who they are and it is extremely obvious. It genuinely breaks my heart to see people settle for the minimum and afraid of becoming the person they know they are capable of being. Do you agree?

I think this happens more often than we would like to admit. I think the fear of becoming the person you dream of being seems too far out of reach. One of my main goals for this platform is to crush that mindset and plant the seed of belief.

I want you to believe in yourself, your abilities, your dreams, believe that your goals ARE achievable, believe in your worthiness and believe in the person you are working to become.

I can say all of this until I am blue in the face, but if YOU do not have belief in yourself and manifest everything you want for you and your life, I’m sorry to tell you…it won’t happen on its own.

I can’t make your dreams come true. I can’t make you believe in yourself, I can’t write a post that changes your mindset, but what I CAN and will continue doing is allowing YOU to borrow belief from me. You may be reading this right now and thinking, “WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?”

The truth is that I have SO MUCH belief in you, so much so that I am willing to let you borrow the belief I have for you until you begin to believe in yourself.

How do you borrow belief from me? It often happens without realization. We borrow belief from people ALL the time without realizing it. This can be a good AND bad thing… if we borrow believe from someone who tells us that we can’t do something, we will begin to believe that. If we borrow belief from someone who tells us that we CAN do it, we want to recognize who these people are and turn to them when we need to borrow belief in ourselves.

Brining it back to divine assignment, belief is truly the engine that drives the bus to get you there.

I will share a quick story with you about my realization of my divine assignment.

I am a firm believer in God and respect everyone’s views on religion. I am a born and raised Catholic. Although I do not agree with everything in the Catholic faith, I do my best to always remember that church is everywhere and I try everyday to share God’s love and message.

With that being said, I am very in tune with my faith and I hear God pretty daily.

I have always known that my life mission was to help people. I have always had this burning desire to help people in all capacities. I won’t get into what I use to do as a child, but my family can attest that my heart was made for giving and still is.

As many of you know, my life is untraditional and the way I was brought into this world was different. I went through a lot as a baby and was on my own with stability for the first three weeks of my life. I believe this made me extremely independent and also taught me a lot about doing things for myself. If I could manage life as a new born somewhat on my own, then I sure as HELL could do it now!

It’s a blessing and a curse all wrapped up with a pretty bow, BUT if you think for one second I will use my life as an excuse, you have another thought coming. Everything about my life has fueled me. It has served as my fuel to be the good I want to see in this world.

I know I am suppose to help kids like me. I know my purpose is to be a resource and guide for children and young adults who are trying to figure out who they are. I know one of my callings is to to support and help women and children in all capacities who are fleeing things domestic violence and sexual assault.

I KNOW with everything in me that I will be the person who helps children find their way back to their families. I have felt this was my calling from as far back as I can remember. And do you know what? I think starting this platform and sharing my story here in the HG community is literally only the beginning of my divine assignment.

I know with everything in me, and have known since I was [playing with barbie dolls, that my mom and I’s story is going to be used to bring families together and bring goodness into the world. I know our story that ripped us apart will be used to help mend and unite families, especially mothers with their children.

I feel in my soul that one day I will be on stage speaking around the country sharing my mom and I’s story with her right by my side giving hope to people that miracles do happen and it happened to us.

This is my divine assignment that I am manifesting right here in this blog post. So, I want you to stop and think to yourself, what is your divine assignment?

Embracing Urgency in Fulfilling Your Divine Assignment

man demonstrating modern electronic wristwatch

One of the things you must know as someone created for God’s purpose is that time is not a limitless resource. Your time on earth is finite, making it crucial to develop a sense of urgency in carrying out your assignment. This urgency, when properly understood and embraced, can be the key to fulfilling your calling and leaving a lasting impact on the world.

Jesus Had a Sense of Urgency Towards His Assignment

Jesus, the epitome of purposeful living, exemplified this sense of urgency in His earthly ministry. In John 9:4, His choice of words reflects a profound truth about the nature of our mission. “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” ( John 9:4 KJV). His resolute statement indicates a recognition of the temporal constraints that govern human existence, compelling Him to act decisively and with purpose. This exemplifies the urgency we should also embody in our pursuit of our divine calling.

I Must Work the Works of Him That Sent Me, While It Is Day

The above statement signifies the opportunity that God has bestowed upon each of us, referred to as “day” by Jesus. This “day” symbolizes the prime of our lives, a period characterized by vitality and potential for meaningful contribution. Neglecting to harness this phase can hinder our ability to become who God intended us to be, underscoring the necessity of utilizing our time and energy effectively during this crucial period.

At some stage in our lives, we all reach a point called “the night” when productivity becomes nearly impossible. This is why procrastinating on important matters is a luxury you can’t afford. Everything that needs to be done must be accomplished at the right time. What needs to be accomplished must be undertaken with determination and swiftness, as the passage of time waits for no one.

Remember Your Creator in the Days of Your Youth

“Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them” (Ecclesiastes 12:1 KJV). This verse emphasizes the significance of recognizing and honoring your Creator during the prime years of your life, before the challenges and limitations of advanced age set in. It speaks to the imperative of prioritizing spiritual growth and purposeful action during the formative stages of life.

It Is Good to Bear the Yoke in Your Youth

Similarly, the Bible says, “It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth” (Lamentations 3:27 KJV). This verse underscores the value of embracing responsibilities and challenges during your youthful years. This period of vigor and vitality is optimal for carrying burdens and undertaking tasks that contribute to personal growth and the fulfillment of your purpose.

The Days of Your Youth Are Days of Strength and Vigor

1 John 2:14 (KJV) states, “I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.” This verse highlights that the days of your youth are characterized by strength, vitality, and the ability to overcome challenges. It signifies the potential to overcome obstacles and fulfill your divine assignment, provided that you remain anchored in the Word of God and harness your innate capabilities for good.

Living Your Life with a Consciousness of “Day” and “Night”

The days of your youth represent a time of strength and vigor, termed as “day” by Jesus, with the later stages of life signifying “night.” It is imperative to live consciously, recognizing the transient nature of time and the importance of seizing every opportunity presented to you. By cultivating a sense of urgency and understanding the temporal dimensions of your purpose, you can maximize your potential and leave a profound impact on the world.

In conclusion, each and every one of us must embrace urgency in fulfilling our divine assignment, recognizing that time is a limited resource. Learn from the example of Jesus, who worked diligently during His allotted “day,” and heed the scriptures’ call to honor your Creator in the days of your youth. By embodying a sense of urgency, you can make the most of every opportunity and leave a lasting legacy that reflects your dedication to fulfilling God’s purpose for your life.

YOUR GOD GIVEN ASSIGNMENT

His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ – Matthew 25:23 (NKJV)

The brevity of life, described as a mist that appears for a little while, (James 4:14) demands us to understand our God given assignment as soon as we are born again.

God saved you to fulfill a particular assignment for Him, and that assignment is time bound. “ You must work the works of him that sent you, while it is day, a time will come when you can no longer work” (John 9:4 paraphrased)

Your divine assignment is a God given task that comes with an inherent burden and divinely given ability to solve problems that yield eternal value.

When you are sure of your calling or divine assignment you would take every opportunity you have to serve anytime, anywhere.

Ideas for your divine assignment come from the wisdom of God and not the philosophies and ideas of man, it is not copied or necessarily inherited or learned talent.

Have you discovered your God-given assignment? Have you asked about why God is allowing you to have a formal education? Why He allowed you to be in the family, room, dorm, or even the neighborhood and church where you currently serve?

Seek God and ask Him to show you your spiritual gifts. Study His word prayerfully.

Seek counsel from godly matured and genuine Christian mentors. Be sincere in asking God to reveal His assignment for you and be ready to walk in it even if it does not satisfy your personal ambition.

Walking in your God-given assignment is where you will find the ultimate spiritual satisfaction and fulfillment.

PRAYER: Lord show me your way, help me to redeem the time and serve you wherever, whenever and however. I want to occupy for you in my divine assignment. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

A CRY FROM A HOPELESS SITUATION

10 Facts About Your Assignment

God gave you an assignment before you were born. God told Jeremiah, “Before you were formed in the womb, I knew you…I ordained you a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5 NKJV). God has an assignment for each of us. I am called to be an evangelist. It was prophesied that I would be an evangelist when I was five years old. Joyce Meyer says, “What you can’t stand is a hint to what you are called to fix.” If you had the money and time to do anything you wanted to help people, what would you do?

Your assignment will be revealed by your diligence. You will never discover your assignment sitting in a rocking chair. You may not know whatyour assignment is right now, but if you will start moving diligently in the direction of your dominate focus your divine assignment will be revealed. Initially, I did not know I was called to be a writer. But, my larger assignment to be an evangelist created the need for me to also be a writer.
Your assignment will be something that no one else can accomplish. Look at your thumb. No one else on the planet had your fingerprint. You are unique and special. God has given you abilities that are not duplicated in any other person on earth. If you do not complete your assignment, it will never be done in the way that only you can do it.
Your assignment is bigger than you can accomplish alone. You need other people. You need God to be involved in your assignment. With God’s help you can do something bigger than is possible with your own strength.
Your assignment will take your whole life to accomplish. Your life purpose is bigger than a few months or years. It may take you a lifetime to prepare to accomplish your assignment. After you die, the fruit of your assignment will continue.
There are a variety of ways for you to accomplish your assignment. The nature of your calling comes from God, but the way you fulfill your assignment comes from your creativity. My assignment is to be an evangelist, within this calling there are a variety of ways of accomplishing my assignment. I could be a street evangelist, a crusade evangelist, an Internet evangelist, or a television evangelist. Each of these options would be a fulfillment of God’s call on my life. My assignment comes from God, but the method I use to fulfill that assignment comes from me. The nature of my calling comes from God, the scope of my calling is revealed by my willingness to be used.
Your assignment is attached to a particular place, people, or problem. You are not called to fix every problem in the world. You are called to fix a specific problem that no one else can fix. Stay in your assignment and don’t try to minister to everyone. Paul was not assigned to John Mark. A trash collector cannot collect trash in both Seattle and Miami, he has to choose a geographical location to fulfill his assignment.
By embracing your assignment, you are saying no to distractions. Know who you are and what you are called to do. I am called to be an evangelist. When I embrace my assignment, it forces me to decline many invitations that are good but have nothing to do with my calling. The more clearly your assignment is defined, the easier it will be to make important decisions. On Facebook, some people make comments that I disagree with but I do not say anything. Why? Because trying to set them straight is not my assignment.
When you are in your assignment, you will be sought out by people who need your specific skill. People will appreciate you for who you are instead of for who they wish you were. I don’t get mad at my dentist because he does not cut my hair. You will be rewarded for the problems that you solve.

What Is Your Divine Assignment? Sample

Hey! Great, you are still here. Have you been inspired yesterday to set an example? Today officially starts the discovery for your divine assignment. Therefore, we will start with Moses’ birth. You know, the guy that split the sea into two.

His birth alone is already a remarkable story. Do you know the story of the straw basket? Or actually, the box was made out of bulrushes. Moses was born in Egypt during a hectic time. The leader of Egypt, the Pharaoh, was going to kill all Hebrew babies by throwing them into the Nile. All because the fast-growing Hebrew nation could eventually become a threat for the Egyptian kingdom. How brutal is that!

As a pregnant lady, the whole situation might have had an influence on the baby. Although there is no reason stated why Moses' mom surrendered him to the Nile, she probably did it out of protection. Which is a bit odd, because why would you surrender your own sweet baby to a dangerous river? The situation must have been that terrible!

Let’s have a look symbolically at this moment. The Nile is also called the ‘source of life’ of Egypt. Unlike the dry desert climate in Egypt, the area around the Nile is fertile and green. In the Bible, water often means (making a choice) to surrender yourself to God. Which means something like: doing what God asks you to do, letting go of control and making room for God to do His work.

Back to the Nile. Moses’ mother decides to surrender Moses to the source of life of Egypt. What is the source of life on this earth? To me, that is God. Is Moses symbolically being surrendered to God?

Surrendering to God may often seem like an odd choice at first sight. Just surrendering a baby to a wild river. But the moment we look back, we often see God's plan reflecting on our lives, and I believe God has a plan for your life too. It might be huge or small. We will look into that later. If you want to discover this, I have one question for you today ☝️:

> In what area in your life do you have to make the choice of surrendering, to let God do His work in your life?

So much more symbolism can be found in this story! Namely, Moses’ birth looks like another V.I.P.’s story in the Bible. More tomorrow!

Exodus 1:22

One Thing You Need to Be Effective in Your Divine Assignment

February 16, 2017

Doug Addison

Change , Destiny & Purpose , Transition

Years after my first angelic visitation in 1991 (which was shocking to me at the time), I received the following revelation about developing a positive Kingdom mindset—because it has everything to do with discovering and walking in our destiny. And it radically changed my own life too.

I released my Prophetic Word for February: Radical Adjustments & Reassignments Coming because many of you are being realigned and repositioned right now for the “divine assignments” God has for you in marriage, business and ministry partnerships.

But I also want to mention this here because it can help you move towards your destiny much more quickly.

Preparing for your divine assignment

Understanding God’s Kingdom requires us to have spiritual eyes and ears. Jesus said over 15 times that we must have “eyes to see and ears to hear.”

In John 5:19 (NLT) Jesus said He did “…only what he sees the Father doing.” Notice the words see and do . Not only do we need to see what God is doing, but we also must be “doers of the word” (James 1:22 NAS) as well.

When we know God’s intention for a situation, it allows us to be in agreement with Him.

But sometimes it may be opposite from what we expect.

Notice that Noah built an ark in a dry season.

Joseph advised Pharaoh to store up grain in a time of prosperity so that he would be a blessing in a time of famine.

Not to mention all the spiritual principles that seem to be backwards from our natural thinking, things like: you must give to receive, the last will be first, if you humble yourself God will lift you up, etc.

Discovering your destiny in the mess

The new divine alliances and assignments that are coming will not all look nice, neat and orderly!

They will not violate any principles of the Bible, but God is about to do some radical things to bring about a radical change in His Kingdom on Earth.

This will help us to fulfill our destinies at a level we have not seen before.

Right now many people don’t know what their destiny is. Many don’t know their spiritual gifts or what God has called them to do.

If that’s you, I want to encourage you today with this.

First John 4:4 tells us that the Spirit within us is greater than the one in the world around us.

Science has discovered that there is a major difference between light and dark. Light can be measured and it has substance and mass. Darkness however, is simply the absence of light.

Jesus is Light and Paul encourages us to live as children of Light (Ephesians 5:8). Living our lives with a greater measure of God’s love and light is extremely powerful. We then dispel darkness wherever we go.

As Christians, we need to understand and regularly practice positive spiritual principles, for example:

Praying for those who curse us
Loving and not judging
Giving to those in need
Helping the oppressed
Being humble as opposed to proud and arrogant
Forgiving those who offend us

The list is actually much longer … but you get the picture. Notice that most of these principles are relationally oriented and they direct us on how to relate with other people as opposed to only relating to God.

Your divine assignment will involve partnering with other people. But we need to do it in the spirit of Love.

Many Christians love God, but when no one is looking, they are guilty of mistreating people.

But we can change the spiritual atmosphere around us by loving, blessing and being an encouragement.

Here’s the fun part: If you do these things regularly, the principle of sowing and reaping will eventually kick in.

Your life will be overflowing with good things to the point that you cannot help but change the world around you. What you sow is what you will reap.

If you sow grumbling, doubt, fear, depression, anxiety and complaining, then that is what you will get in return.

If you sow love, hope, encouragement, generosity, humility, forgiveness, etc., then that is what you will experience more of.

Developing a positive Kingdom perspective and lifestyle is what will truly change our lives and the lives of many around us.

It’s also where we will find our divine assignment.

It took me years in the school of hard knocks to learn this and I want to help save you time and pain—so that you can accelerate the process to your destiny and discover your divine assignment!

Because as God is doing something new, now more than ever we need new strategies to bring God’s love to a hurting world. We need some fresh and original ideas in churches, businesses, education, government, media, entertainment and all aspects of life.

This is an exciting time to be a part of what God is doing!

God has revealed that now is the time to prepare for the “Divine Alliances” He is bringing—to connect many people in unlikely ways for strategic marriage, business and ministry partnerships.

If you’ve been wondering what’s next for you in this season, and how you can align yourself with your divine assignment, check out my online training, Discovering Your Divine Assignment .

Great article Doug!! My question is how many believers really know what they are called to do and how many are truly seeking what their divine purpose is? Most Christians I meet don’t have a clue as to what their purpose in life is. Most churches don’t even help people discover their ultimate purpose. People go to church week after week and are not supernaturally changed. Radical change is desperately needed and I want to be apart with those who will bring radical change. Your ministry is doing that very thing! Thanks for all that you are doing to build us up and to help us discover our purpose in the Kingdom!

July 14, 2017

Thank you Pst Doug,your article is timely at this time that discovering God’s purpose is crucial.I beleive as a beleiver,we are intricately wire with divine ability,so we need to identify our purpose,feel the pain of others as a deliverer,& focus on God as fulfil our destiny.THANK YOU.

Nikki, InLight Connection

Yes, we are wired with divine ability since the Holy Spirit is in us and He can do the miraculous! Bless you, Wale!

Firstly, my encounter with “Doug Addison” name was by a brother in Canada who also mentioned many others. This was just before Doug was il and went to see Todd and was delivered. I saw this in the Spirit which connected me suffering similar afflictions later on. Great things happen when we pray for one another! I’ve reached out thousands of times for prayer with the notice of when I’m prayed for in my spirit. This must be how Paul felt in his endever to further the Kingdom. Well I’d love to be a part of what I have to believe all are sensing in their spirits of what’s to come. There’s so much what I will call “SCRAMBLING” to the the money trough $$$ Can’t tell you many times I’ve giving to get debt free! My passion is healing and am still amazed when God moves me to pray for others! Yes – Ministries need $$$ / but God put the wealth in the earth! 🔥SHALOM🔥

Thank you for your minister!!!!! We have treate everyone we meet with the same love Jesus Christ demonstrated. God bless you guys

Thank you, Doug! It’s so true! It’s Time to go out of fear and Walk with Love ! Bless you! Eva

Your God given assignment

Math 25:3- His lord said unto him, well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

The brevity of life described as a mist that appears for a little while (James 4:14) demands us to understand our God’s given assignment as soon as we are born again. God saves us to fulfill a particular assignment for Him while we live through various seasons of our lives. Do not waste your seasons. You must work the works of him that sent you, while it is the day: the night cometh when no man can work (John 9:4)

Not knowing the unique assignment God wants you to do can be very frustrating because no matter what you do outside what God really wants you to do for him it will be meaningless. When you are sure of your calling or divine assignment you can’t quit even if you want and every opportunity you have to serve any time anywhere translates to that particular assignment. Your divine assignment is more than where you worship or where you serve. It is more than where you work and where you live? It is even more than what you are studying and your career.

Your divine assignment is a God’s given task that comes with an inherent burden and divinely given ability to solve problems that yield eternal value. Ideas for your divine assignment come from the wisdom of God and not the philosophies and ideas of man, it is not copied or necessarily inherited or learned talent. It is not self-centered or about you and your spouse. It is not a family affair.

Seek God and ask Him to show you your spiritual gifts, study Gods word prayerfully. Seek counsel from godly matured and genuine Christian mentors. Be sincere in asking God to reveal His assignment for you and be ready to walk in it even if it does not satisfy your personal ambition. Walking in your God-given assignment is where you will find ultimate spiritual satisfaction and fulfillment.

Lord show me your way, help me to redeem the time and serve you wherever, whenever and however. I want to occupy for you in my divine assignment. In Jesus name, I pray.

I Belong to Him and None Other

Unlock your DIVINE ASSIGNMENT

It was 2015, and I felt like a loser.

Like some bag lady destined to live on my mom’s couch for the rest of my life because I couldn’t afford an alternative. 😭

The truth was that I was unravelling—financially, physically, and emotionally. I’d lost my way, and I was exhausted 😞 and completely over being paralyzed by my past.

In that moment, I fell to my knees and started praying because I had nowhere else to go. 🙏

I knew something was calling me to rise, and I desperately wanted to know my path—the path 🗺️ that would lead me to embodying all that I knew I was born to be.

I made a choice right then to go all in. There would be no more holding back because I’d tried plan B, living half in and half out in an effort to protect myself from failure, but all it had left me with was a legacy of ill-health, shattered dreams, and just enough money in the bank 💸 to pay the basic bills.

That’s when I vowed to start building my life around my divine assignment. I had to follow my heart ❤️. I prayed 🙏. I listened. And I took action. I started to write, build, and create my message. ✍️

I started doing the work I was called to do, but still something was missing: a freaking clear plan 📋 to monetize and actualize my sacred work!

When my daughter Aria was born a few years later, I upped the stakes on my vision and started channeling even more deeply. Because in reality, even though I’d committed to my divine assignment, I was only taking baby steps.

It took having a baby 👶 (LOL) to take BIG WOMAN 💃 steps 👣 towards building a business and a life around my divine assignment.

Despite my husband earning six figures at the time, we were still going backwards financially and it freaked me the eff out! Here I was at 38 once again in a cycle that I was very familiar with—the rollercoaster ride 🎢 of feast and famine, success and failure, and I was literally living the highs and lows of this ride.

And now we had a little girl we wanted to give the world 🌎 to (and most importantly, our time too). I realized as I held my newborn in my arms that I was overwhelmed, overworked, and underpaid, and I could no longer live like that now I had this delicious new love 💕 of my life.

Aria brought crystal clear clarity to living my divine assignment. ✨

I didn’t want to be struggling anymore.

I was over questioning myself and my vision. 🤔 I wanted to do the work I was called to do, which meant not returning to the “safety” of corporate. I also didn’t want to rely on my husband because I knew that my financial sovereignty came down to me. I began to truly see what it would take to create a legacy brand that would light up my soul and contribute deeply to the world and my clients. 🙌

I knew I wanted to be part of a movement to create innovative strategies and new femme paradigms that focused on supporting and enhancing women’s power and leadership globally. 💃🌟

When Aria was only a few months old, I’d sit her in the bassinet beside my desk and shoot videos and also teach myself to edit in Final Cut Pro 🖥️ while breastfeeding! 🤱 There were no more excuses. I just had to do it. That’s how I began to fully commit to my divine assignment. 😉 It was a whole-hearted pledge to do whatever was needed to overhaul my life and business. 💖

I now had an even greater ‘why’ for doing my work in the world. Alongside my deepest desire to support women to create financial and personal sovereignty for themselves, I wanted to live it for my daughter. 👧💕

I wanted to be an example of what your life can be when you align all aspects of it with your divine assignment. So I dived deeper into myself. 😍 What habits were still holding me back? What beliefs were still blocking my vision 👀 from being 100% fulfilled? I knew something more needed to be unlocked. 🔐

I asked, and the Universe showed me the answer in continued experiences where my people pleasing was running the show and leaving me exhausted, overworked, and with nothing at the end of it all. I realized I needed to ditch this habit pronto and replace it with the full, unashamed ownership of my voice. 📣

I decided to ditch the shame and START SPEAKING UP 🗣️.

I decided to declare myself done-done-DONE with scarcity and struggle, and to build a completely different kind of life and coaching practice.

🔥 I spoke up. 🔥 Owned my voice. 🔥 Packaged up my brilliance. 🔥 Stopped waiting for anyone’s approval except mine. 🔥 And got busy building my empire and serving others in a whole new way.

I was no longer fearful of what people would think of me. I knew I had a deeply relevant message 💬 to share with the world, and I started to do so at full throttle. I became visible .

My divine assignment blossomed 🌸, and the downloads came more often with the channeling more potent than ever before. And as a result, my intentions and vision became crystal clear. At the heart 💖 of it all was the realization that finding the message within my mess was the rocket fuel 🚀 I needed to build momentum in my conscious business.

And this changed the game… RADICALLY! ✨

I realized I’d had it all wrong: the difference between those who struggle and those who succeed is that the latter have rewritten their inner dialogue around selling, healed their money karma drama, and tapped into a business model that’s strategic as all eff 📈 (one that doesn’t include $100/sessions, thankyouverymuch).

They sure as shizz don’t teach this stuff at university! 😬

I’ve come to understand that success in life hinges on what consumes you!

You will only truly be successful at something that consumes you. 🤩

People who are remembered as great leaders and innovators are people who built their lives around their DIVINE ASSIGNMENT! 🙌 Others tinker at the edge of it, flirting with their unique purpose while maintaining a safe distance, protecting themselves within the conventional norms but never fully allowing themselves to be consumed by their purpose.

Your divine assignment is a ‘problem’ that you alone were born to solve for others. This problem is your door 🚪 to divine service and divine riches. 🌟

But how do you recognize your divine assignment? 🤔

I believe that each of us has a divine calling. 📣 The guidance you need always starts with a call for clarity about your purpose and the search for truth 🔍, so you can awaken to the message that you’re here to bring forward. If you fail to listen to your calling or rebel against your assignment, the struggle often becomes so overwhelming that you’re usually forced at some stage in your journey to surrender to it anyway! So why not leap now 💫 and save yourself some heartache? 💔

How do you discover the divine assignment that is your true calling? 🕵

💎 BE STILL 💎 GO WITHIN 💎 LISTEN 💎 CONNECT TO YOUR DIVINE CALLING 💎 BUILD YOUR VISION 💎 MAKE IT RAIN ABUNDANCE AND JOY

What’s the cost 💸 of not LIVING YOUR TRUTH, %FIRSTNAME%?

It’s stifling on all levels. You are here to express, share, and pass on your wisdom, goddess. The pain 🤕 that can come from not living your divine assignment is enormous. Think about what dreams or pathways you’ve abandoned or simply let go because you’ve been too fearful to listen to your inner calling. The simple truth is that your calling is greater than your fear 🌟. At some point, you won’t be able to run from it because the whispers will turn into an ear-piercing scream. 😱

It’s time to turn towards the whispers and imagine how it would feel to be living a life of passion where you are at your most powerful and lit up each and every day.

Ask yourself:

💬 What deep pain, struggle, or trauma have I had to overcome from which I could draw my message? 💬 If I had only one key message I could share with the world that I knew would serve others deeply and make me money, what would it be? 💬 What makes me so mad and passionate I would get over my fear to see it changed?

Once you start to envision 👀 what your life looks like when you’re living from your heart and clear about your purpose, your divine assignment will enter your thoughts, your words, and your actions every day. It’s waiting for you to start the journey. 🗺️

It simply needs us to move from FEAR to LOVE and from constricted to expressed.

Readiness and sacred remembrance are the only prerequisites for riches. 🙌

Here’s what I know for sure:

When you’re ready to fully embody the presence of the divine within ✨ and build a business around it, you’re one step closer to activating limitless abundance in all areas of your life. You begin to LIVE FROM PURPOSE, COURAGE, AND A MISSION that gives you unstoppable power to build a future that’s based on a deep soul calling. 🙏 It’s not always easy to become the woman 👑 you were meant to be, but it’s harder to stay trapped living your entire life being a shell of who you truly are.

The PAIN of not living my divine path was far too great for me, so I chose to expand no matter how much it terrified me at the time.

While it took me 20 years of utter agony to figure this stuff out, you can match my success starting tomorrow if you apply the right strategy and tap into the right support. (I’m not B.S.-ing you… I’ve had tons of clients close high ticket 🎫 sales within days of working with me.)

Just look at my testimonials! 😉

My question to you is 👉 where do you see your business (and yourself!) 90 days from now? Are you sweating over the electric bill, or do you have a personal massage therapist coming to your house twice a week, like I do? 🤔 It’s pretty lush I have to tell you!

Luminous 💫 possibility awaits you, diva. Like Ahneyah who made the decision to leap when she joined my program and went from charging $100/hour for her work to creating a $25,000 teacher training and selling 8 spots in 8 weeks. 🥂

Understand your divine assignment

You are geographically designed. This means that your nationality, your race, sex and even where you were born were decided by God. You are geographically…

You are geographically assigned. This means there is a place, a city, a location where God wants you.

You are specifically assigned. You are not wired to do just anything but some things well.

Benefits of finding your place

1. Divine Assistance. Forces of destiny are released in your favour when you find your place. You begin to operate in favour when you find your place. Helpers appear when you find your place. Relationships change when you find your place. Angels assist only those who are working to fulfill their divine assignment.

2. Success. A man once said, “Once you surrender to your vision, success begins to chase you.” Where you are divinely located is where you will flourish and succeed. Jonah ended up in the belly of a whale while heading away from the place God sent him to. Each instruction from God is linked with your assignment. Your financial provision is waiting for you at the place where God has assigned you.

Your success is in finding your place in God’s order. Many die without stepping into their assignment; without finding their place. You can only touch the world through your assignment.

3. Greatness. You will live like a fowl if you don’t know you are an Eagle. The fulfillment of your divine assignment gives you a place among the stars. Your greatness is tied to your purpose. It is impossible to reach your best if you don’t know and do what you are created for. At best, you will end up a cheap copy of someone else. You can only be superior to others in your area of gifting. Dan 1:17, “As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.” Daniel, Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego were gifted by God in learning and wisdom and that is the place where they were found to be ten times better than their counterparts. (Dan 1:20)

Enemies of destiny

The fulfillment of your assignment scares the devil the most. Nothing gives him as much pleasure as keeping you distracted. There are three things Satan loves to do to your assignment: (a) substitute it, (b) delay it, or (c) waste it. Most people die unfulfilled. His favorite pastime is to substitute people’s dreams. He will no longer succeed with you.

Here are examples of Destiny Wasters:

– Forces that incapacitate e.g. through sickness, etc.

– Forces that impoverish – paralyse effort, induce laziness, cause delay, divert blessings, destroy favour,

– Forces that switch dreams – make you do what you are not cut out for. There is nothing as devastating as travelling on a wrong road. May God change your direction!

– Forces that Sell, buy or steal destiny. Esau sold his birthright to his brother Jacob.

– Forces that corrupt through sex, drugs or other addictions.

– Wrong associations, wrong company – friendship, marriage, etc. There are four people in your life: those who add, those who subtract, those who divide and those who multiply.

– Wrong confessions. Words spoken over you have a bearing on the outcome of your life. Vows, decrees, enchantments and divinations.

– Premature death – forces that terminate life prematurely.

All this results in wasted lives, wasted destinies, and wasted resources.

Launching into your destiny and divine assignment

1Ki 1:39, “And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.”

The oil used here was the holy anointing oil, which was laid up in the tabernacle, and which was used for the anointing of both priests and kings.

You have a global assignment and it takes the anointing to launch you into it. It takes a prophet to commission and release you into your divine purpose on earth. Moses laid hands on Joshua, Isaac blessed Jacob; Elijah dropped his mantle on Elisha (2Ki 2:9-15), etc.

David was anointed three times for the manifestation of his divine assignment. Zadok the priest anointed Solomon to become king. Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit to step into and fulfill his divine assignment.

But to succeed, you must remove every limitation from your mind. You must change your attitude and mindset.

Let me close with this story told by Robert Schuller. A man was selling balloons on the streets of New York City. He knew how to attract a crowd before he offered his wares for sale. He took a white balloon, filled it up, and let it float up into the sky. Next he filled a red balloon, and released it into the air. Then he added a yellow one. As the red, yellow, and white balloons were floating above his head, the little children gathered around to buy his balloons. A hesitant black boy looked up at the balloons and asked the man, “If you filled a black balloon, would it go up too?” The man looked down and said, “Why, sure! It’s not the colour of the balloon—it’s what’s inside that makes it go up!”

What’s inside of you determines the level of success you will achieve in life. Reaching the highest peak possible depends upon your mindset and your attitudes. The content of your mind determines the colour of your life.

What limitations have you placed on yourself due to the way you think or the attitudes you exhibit? Remember: It’s what’s inside that ultimately determines how high you will climb.

Fresh start

In the just concluded world athletic championships, Hussein Bolt, the fasted man on earth right now was disqualified from the 100 meters race because he made a false start in the semi-finals. He missed the gold medal.

Men disqualify you when you make a false start in life but God gives you a fresh start. God is giving you a fresh start today.

Ignite Your Life: 14 Powerful Things That Happen When You Pray

From the Publisher

Your Divine Invitation by Frankie Mazzapica

While fighting insomnia one night, Frankie Mazzapica was wrestling with God. From the deepest places of his heart, he asked the Lord, “If the Scriptures say that signs such as healings and miracles should follow those who believe, why is it so rare to see the manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit?” The same Great Commission given to the disciples in the New Testament has been given to today’s believers. Therefore, we should not expect any less of the Holy Spirit’s power than what was experienced within the early church. It is a fallacy to believe that God has selected only a small portion of His children to receive and demonstrate supernatural gifts from the Holy Spirit. There are practical steps every believer can take to experience the presence of God regularly manifesting in their lives. In Your Divine Invitation , Mazzapica shares how he has come to testify weekly of healings, deliverances, and miracles. As a pathway of rocks in a pond, the way to experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit in your life is only steps away.

What’s Your Divine Assignment?

I’m asking you who clicked on this post to stop and ask yourself, “What’s my divine assignment?”

In a nutshell, I would say that: Your divine assignment is doing what God wants you to do; having what God wants you to have; going where God wants you to go and then becoming who God ultimately wants you to become which is Christ-like.

I think this happens more often than we would like to admit. I think the fear of becoming the person you dream of being seems too far out of reach. One of my main goals for this platform is to crush that mindset and plant the seed of belief.

I can say all of this until I am blue in the face, but if YOU do not have belief in yourself and manifest everything you want for you and your life, I’m sorry to tell you…it won’t happen on its own.

The truth is that I have SO MUCH belief in you, so much so that I am willing to let you borrow the belief I have for you until you begin to believe in yourself.

Brining it back to divine assignment, belief is truly the engine that drives the bus to get you there.

It’s a blessing and a curse all wrapped up with a pretty bow, BUT if you think for one second I will use my life as an excuse, you have another thought coming. Everything about my life has fueled me. It has served as my fuel to be the good I want to see in this world.

I feel in my soul that one day I will be on stage speaking around the country sharing my mom and I’s story with her right by my side giving hope to people that miracles do happen and it happened to us.
