Deterrence to Fulfilling Our Spiritual Destiny

Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.  (Act 21:13)

Reality cannot be the reason not to continue on in faith. Faith is beyond seeing the natural, but the ability to behold our spiritual destiny and whole heartedness to substantiate the things God has laid hold of us. Don’t let situations, fear, danger and uncertainty deter us. If we are not willing to lay our lives down and rise to the occasion in fulfilling the purposes of God in and through us, He will not fail, He will raise another (Est 4:14). Natural reality can never stop God from intervening in human affairs for His glory, it is whether we are willing to avail ourselves to be vessels of honor for His divine purposes. Following Jesus would mean heartaches to loved ones and ourselves, don't let these be the enemy in fulfilling our spiritual destiny.
